Christmas Soulmates: Craig Nicholls

Kelly or Pink?

I’ve met Kelly, she’s cool.

Hard or clever?

Cleverly hard.

Do or don’t?

Don’t do.

Bush or Saddam?

Um, no no no. Neither.

Jack or Meg?

The White Stripes. Rock ‘n’ roll, yeah. I love them both.

Half-full or half-empty?

Totally empty.

Jay-Z or Nas?

Ummmm…Nazzy J-Jeff?

Liam or Noel?

I don’t know exactly what this means but I’ll say Noel.

On top or on the bottom?

Jeez, man. I’ll say the middle.

Drunk or sober?

Elegantly wasted.

Red or black?

Red, because black’s the colour of the devil.

Zeppelin or Sabbath?

Led Sabbath.

Mod or rocker?

I guess…rocking chairs?

Boxers and briefs?

Boxing briefs.

Beatles or Stones?

The Beatles. They’re really inspiring.

Spit or swallow?

I like all birds. I think the eagle is my favourite.

Badgers or squirrels?

Wow! A badger with a little squirrel on it would be cool.

Tattoos or piercings?

For me that’s hard to decide because I’ve got so many tattoos and so many piercings…Not really. But piercings, because you can take them out but you can’t take tattoos off for the night.

Fischerspooner or The Strokes?

I like The Strokes a lot.

Christmas with Craig Nicholls

Where will you be on December 25?

Sydney. I’ll probably be spending it with my family.

Who’s the most famous person on your Christmas card list?

I don’t know what fame is.

If Jesus walked among us now, who would he be?

Shit, man. Who would Jesus be? Gaz Coombes.

What present do you always resort to for people you’re not that fussed about?

Oh, um, I don’t know. No one. I mean, yeah. That’s it.

When did you find out about Father Christmas?

I seriously can’t remember. I could try and be funny and say last year. I believed in Santa Claus all the way up until last year.

Have you ever eaten or drunk so much at Christmas you got sick?

Yeah, I would be lying if I said that hadn’t happened before. I guess I’m lucky it hasn’t happened more often. The last time was probably a few years ago.

Have you kept any childhood toys?

I doubt it.

Giving or receiving?

I don’t know. Both.
