Staff Interview: Paul_UK - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Paul_UK · 26th Oct 2008, 09:38 AM

As Martin mentioned here we have decided to post some staff interviews on the EC YouTube channel. The first victim interviewee is me, being interviewed by Martin.

It's in two parts because it's longer than the 10 minute YouTube limit.

+ YouTube Video

Well done you two ^_^

Normally I have the attention span of a flea, but I just sat and listened the whole time, even forgot about my rather urgent english essay

It was very interesting, I enjoyed listening

That's odd. I ticked the box to allow it to be accessed from mobile devices when uploading them.

When we were on holiday on the Isle of Wight in September it was the week after "Bestival" and the main thing on the local radio news (other than the mud and rain there) was her mediocre performance at the festival, and her with her entourage being thrown out of their hotel in Ventnor after trashing her room.

**Lexington** · 26th Oct 2008, 10:16 PM

Martin, how'd you balance that TV on your head the entire time?

heatqueen · 27th Oct 2008, 01:14 AM

Haha that was awesome!!

Agreed with the Amy Winehouse bit, but I also feel a bit sorry for her...however that doesn't kill the fact that she is my least favourite celebrity ever. For new year's eve this year our party theme is pop stars / playboy, so I was thinking of going as her!! 'cept I can't be sexy if I do that, so...

lol

Psychedelic Bookmarks · 27th Oct 2008, 05:18 AM

27th Oct 2008, 11:51 AM
