Here's a 🧵, answering the same questions as the Guardian asked Andrew Ridgeley in an interview just before Christmas. To be tooted at a rate of one daily. This is not a guaranteed service level.

When were you happiest?
When I was 15 or 16, living in Germany, having mostly left my childhood behind, possibilities stretching ahead, and not having taken on any responsibilities.

In my Mum's arms aged about three, being lifted up to see a green Wessex helicopter using the field behind our house in Taunton.

Andrew Ridgeley replied "a pension" which is probably the true answer. The children's accommodation costs at uni are going to come close. My friend Mike once joked that he was counting on having thick kids.

I keep thinking the first thing I'll grab is my wedding photos, since they were pre-digital, and not backed up,
but...
Consider my birth certificate, which shows that I was born in a prosperous country to a middle-earning stable parental setup in the second half of the 20th century. Compared to most of the last 50,000 years of humanity, I'm ridiculously lucky to have been born, and lived, here and now.

A better question would be "who would you like to direct the film of your life?" to which I'd answer Hayao Miyazaki. The notion of a film of my life is entertaining; I mean, what if I didn't have control of the edit? I'm not really much good at casting, but I do remember being compared to Rowan Atkinson once. Sorry, Rowan.

Probably biting my nails, which has been with me since I stopped sucking my thumb. At the moment we're on a break, with additional help from a pot of clear nail varnish, but I've gone from biting the nails to scraping off the varnish. And as they get longer, flicking the corners of the nails is immensely difficult to stop. I sometimes wonder if it's worth trying hypnotism, but I don't think I'm suggestible in that way.

Loss of physical capability, specifically, something secret that I've been mostly on top of since I was a teenager, which makes day to day life "normal". When that goes, it'll be a significant change. I'm not talking about a superpower, it's something you can all do that I can't, without drugs and fitness.

@FourT4 I have been thoroughly researching Jon Roach for at least three and a half minutes, and the answer to Question 7 fits well with my new mental model of Jon Roach. In comparison, the answer to Question 5 seems incorrect.
