George Chuter's Q&A

Hi all, George Chuter here with an alternative Question and Answer session with some of the Leicester Tiger boys here on tour in Australia.

Toby Flood:

George Chuter: Hello Toby. How's it going?
Toby Flood: Good thanks George. Had the day off today, so I've just been chilling out in Sydney.
GC: Sounds nice.
TF: It really was. Would have been better if you were there though.
GC: Er, I was. We had coffee by the Opera House.
TF: Oh right. I did wonder what that droning noise was in the background. I just assumed it was a ferry in the harbour. Sorry.
GC: Thanks. Ready for some questions?
TF: Yep.

GC: What is your favourite piece of clothing, and why?
TF: My sarong - I like the way it sits on my hips

GC: If you could meet someone, alive or dead, who would it be?
TF: It would be Genghis Khan, to see if he could live up to his reputation
GC: Aren't you a little worried he might kill you and eat you?
TF: Not really. This is just make believe.
GC: Very true.

GC: What is your favourite breakfast food?
TF: Chocolate cake

GC: If you had £1million, how would you spend it?
TF: I would give it away as I have heard money changes you and Ben Youngs is a good example of that. The more money he has the larger his waist gets.

GC: What is you favourite body part, and why? it could be yours or someone else's...
TF: Ears! I really like ears and I find people with large ears extremely attractive.

GC: Marmite - love it or hate it?
TF: Love

GC: Would you rather eat a live hamster, or swim in a tank of sharks for 5 minutes?
TF: Swim with sharks
GC: No one has chosen the hamster yet. Does that surprise you?
TF: Not really. What would you choose.
GC: Probably the hamster
TF: Well you're just weird.

GC: What is your favourite holiday destination, and why?
TF: Sicily, good food and people.

GC: If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
TF: Invisibility so no one could see me pick my nose
GC: Isn't that a bit of a waste of a super power?
TF: It's my power. I'll do what I like with it thanks.

GC: If you didn't play rugby, what would/could you do for a living?
TF: I would run for Governor of California. It seems easy.

GC: What is your worst habit?
TF: Picking my nose whilst not invisible.

GC: What is your favourite book?
TF: The Hungry Caterpillar. It's a real rollercoaster ride of emotion

GC: Star Wars or Star Trek?
TF: Nerds!!!!
GC: Guilty as charged.

GC: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
TF: Gary Lineker

GC: What is your favourite song, and why?
TF: Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Baby. It gives every white man hope

Tom Croft:

George Chuter: Hi Tom. What's happening?
Tom Croft: Hi George. Nothing really. Just enjoying Sydney. Can I say you're looking very buff at the moment?
GC: Well thanks Tom. I do like to work out.
TC: It shows.
GC: I know. I'm just lucky to have the physique of a god really.
TC: It's a shame it's Buddha.
GC: No need to be derogatory.
TC: Sorry.
GC: Apology not accepted. Shall we move swiftly on to the questions?
TC: Yes your eminence.
GC: Shut up.

GC: If you could meet someone, alive or dead, who would it be? Choose a man and a woman.
TC: Adolph Hitler, and Cheryl Cole
GC: Interesting combo. I heard a rumour that she was marrying Dan Cole.
TC: Didn't you start that in one of your program pieces?
GC: Well, yes. And in all honesty, Dan probably has more chance of marrying Adolph Hitler.

GC: What is your favourite breakfast food?
TC: Fry-up

GC: What is you favourite body part, and why? It could be yours or someone else's...
TC: Toby Flood's ears, because you can receive Sky TV through them.
GC: Is he HD Ready?
TC: No.
GC: Shame.

GC: Cat or dog?
TC: Catdog - great cartoon.
GC: Never heard of it.
TC: It's about a half cat, half dog.
GC: I sort of guessed that.

GC: Would you rather eat a live hamster, or swim in a tank of sharks for 5 minutes?
TC: Sharks, as long as I had Dan 'the shark man' Cole with me.
GC: Why do they call him 'the shark man'?
TC: They say that he was raised by sharks.
GC: Is that true? I thought he was raised in Newton Harcourt
TC: Maybe it was another Dan Cole they were talking about. He is great though.
GC: Yeah. He really is.

GC: If you could have a super power, what would it be?
TC: The ability to fly.

GC: What makes you laugh?
TC: Dan Cole's tan.

GC: What is your favourite book and movie?
TC: The Shawshank Redemption, and Finding Nemo - similar plots.
GC: Hmmmm....you must have read a slightly different version of The Shawshank Redemption to the one I read. There were slightly fewer light-hearted fish shenanigins and slightly more incidents of prison brutality in mine.
TC: Yes, but in the end, everyone found what they were looking for.
GC: Yes. Very similar....

GC: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
TC: Harrison Ford
GC: WHAT!!?? He's waaaay too rugged to play you!
TC: Well who do you think?
GC: Probably that big blue thing from Avatar. He could be your twin!
TC: But it's blue. And it's not even an actor.
GC: Irrelevant really. You'd be surprised what they can do with special effects these days.
TC: But that thing is a special effect.
GC: My point precisely.

GC: What makes you angry?
TC: People who skim the top off an apple pie.
GC: Mmmmm....I love the top of an apple pie....
TC: You're making me angry.
GC: Oooohhhhh....what you gonna do? use your super power and fly at me? Worst super power ever!
TC: This interview is over.
GC: Bye Bye fly boy.
TC: Shut up Buddha.
GC: Ouch.

Geoff Parling:

George Chuter: Hi Geoff. Great lineout steal. Thanks for winning us the Guinness Premiership Final!
Geoff Parling: No problem George. And might I say you are looking very handsome today?
GC: You might, and thanks. Probably something to do with me using hair conditioner in the shower this morning. My hair has so much lift and vitality. I'm really blending in with the locals in glamorous Sydney.
GP: Yes. Your hair does look great.
GC: Well Geoff, I'm worth it. Anyway, enough small talk. Ready for the questions?
GP: Fire away.

GC: What is your favourite piece of clothing, and why?
GP: One of Dan Coles' old shirts. I have never washed it and it holds his musk. It has the lynx effect.

GC: If you could meet someone, alive or dead, who would it be? Choose a man and a woman.
GP: I've met him. DaCole.
GC: He is a great guy, isn't he?
GP: Yeah, he really is.

GC: If you had £1million, how would you spend it?
GP: I would spend £3.42 on buying identical clothing to DaCole, and give the rest away to charity.

GC: What is you favourite body part, and why? it could be yours or someone else's...
GP: My right ear. Its a beautiful specimen and I treasure it now my left has cauliflowered.

GC: Cat or dog?
GP: I have a dog, called Pip. She's awesome.

GC: Marmite - love it or hate it?
GP: Hate marmite, but love DaCole.
GC: I love DaCole too. But I think I would prefer marmite on my toast in the morning.

GC: Would you rather eat a live hamster, or swim in a tank of sharks
for 5 minutes?
GP: As long as I had DaCole with me, swim with sharks. They wouldn't dare come near us out of respect for DaCole.

GC: What is your favourite holiday destination, and why?
GP: Italy, as its where i got engaged
GC: Aaahhhh...so romantic. I got engaged in the kitchen.

GC: If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
GP: The power of DaCole. Imagine been able to age at an accelerated rate, awesome!
GC: I have to say, I'm not sure how 'super' that power is.
GP: Well, it was super for Dan when he was 15. Because of his accelerated aging, he looked 39 and was able to buy beer for him and his mates.
GC: I see your point. It could have it's uses. But I'd be more inclined to cal it a 'usefulpower' rather superpower.
GP: I guess that would make me a usefulhero then?
GC: We're rambling again.
GP: I love rambling.
GC: I love lamp.

GC: If you didn't play rugby, what would/could you do for a living?
GP: International Man of Mystery
GC: Interesting. What does a job like that pay?
GP: No one knows.
GC: OK. Do you need any special qualifications?
GP: No one knows.
GC: You don't seem to know much about this profession.
GP: That's because it's a mystery. Duh!
GC: I see. Or maybe I don't. Whatever. This is the second-longest question in the world, ever. I'm bored. Let's move on.

GC: What makes you laugh?
GP: George Chuters hilarious anecdotes
GC: Yeah. George is hilarious alright!
GP: Why are you talking about yourself in the 3rd person?
GC: Because that's what George does sometimes. I do it too.

GC: What is your worst habit?
GP: The occasional pick of my nose!

GC: Star Wars or Star Trek?
GP: Easily Star Wars, especially as Castro played Jabba the Hut
GC: I knew i recognised that actor from somewhere!! Thank you! He's lost a bit of weight since the film though.
GP: Not really. I think it's just his hair and beard making him appear slimmer these days.

GC: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
GP: DaCole. Or, if DaCole was busy scrummaging somewhere, Chewbacca.

GC: Thanks Geoff. I'll see you at dinner.
GP: Cheers George.
