Kate’s latest date was a bit more exciting than previous dating expeditions…mainly because she had two guys at once. Check out what happened when she went out and about with Steve and Andrew from Fur Patrol…
If you could have 24 hours with one person – living or dead – who would it be and what would you do?
STEVE: I’m experiencing a long distance relationship so I would definitely spend it with my partner and what we would do is probably quite x-rated so I can’t tell you that. We’d go out for dinner and wine though.
ANDREW: I was going to say Steve, but seeing as he’s going to be with his partner I don’t want to have anything to do with that so I’ll have to say I’d spend it with my girlfriend too.
What’s the most tragic item in your wardrobe?
STEVE: I’ve got this crazy bow tie that I wear to fancy dress parties. It’s a hook on one with purples and blues and reds and greens – it’s a crazy-ass thing I got from the Salvation Army op shop in St Kilda.
ANDREW: Mines a shirt of Steve’s that I borrowed once!
What celebrity do you lust after?
STEVE: (looks behind him at the posters on the wall) Craig David – silly question…silly answer!
ANDREW: It would probably have to be Tom Larkin (Pacifier)
STEVE: I’ve seen you guys getting it on back stage at the gay bar...gay bar!
What’s your dream car?
STEVE: Ford Mustang
ANDREW: Yeah same actually – inspired by Swervedriver – a UK band that no longer exist. They had a band called Mustang Ford, but the car stands up on its own merit as a cool car.
What song is the soundtrack to your life?
STEVE: Breaks Co-Op, who are an NZ outfit. “Do you know how much I love you…”
ANDREW: Swervedriver’s Duress
What’s the best present you’ve ever been given?
STEVE: (Holds out hand) This ring, the silver ring my girlfriend bought me.
ANDREW: A travel bag
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever set fire to?
STEVE: Andrew’s jeans. He had a little rip in his knee and there was all this stuff hanging out of it so I lit it on fire.
ANDREW: Are you serious, is that the coolest thing you’ve set fire to? You’re sad.
STEVE: Your coolest thing is probably farts!
ANDREW: There’s nothing that I’ve set fire to that is cool enough, so maybe the “RAGE WITHIN”? I’ve set fire to that a few times.
What’s the first thing that comes into mind when I say…
Blind date:
STEVE: Ugly
ANDREW: Potato – I don’t know why… (laughs)
Beer:
STEVE: Craig Terris – he’s a person who drinks a lot of beer. He’s my housemate – he plays in a band called Cassette.
ANDREW: Monteiths
Barbeque:
STEVE: Sausages!
ANDREW: Sauce? – Isn’t that tragic!
Coffee:
STEVE: Yummy
ANDREW: Anxiety
Best mates:
STEVE: Andrew…definitely my best mate. We’ve been hanging out for a bout 12 years.
Nzgirl: Do you feel pressured to say Steve now?
ANDREW: Put down, “too much pressure to answer”, or how about, “say’s Steve under duress?”
How long was your longest relationship?
STEVE: 2 years
ANDREW: 6 years
What’s the best thing about women?
STEVE: Comfort…they’re very soft and yummy and curvy and sexy
ANDREW: Boobies.
What’s the most annoying thing?
STEVE: Periods...nah, periods aren’t annoying just some of the behaviour is. I’m a sensitive guy and I get the hottie and the Naprogesic and things…
ANDREW: Boobies. My other annoyance is women’s inability to deal with hangovers.
STEVE: This is going to paint a really bad picture of us isn’t it? Just as long as our girlfriends don’t read it we’ll be fine!
What’s the biggest rebound no-no?
STEVE: Obviously sleeping with someone straight away.
ANDREW: Re-rebounding…as in going back to the source of the break up…or maybe that’s a good thing!
If you could do a celebrity endorsement for any product, what would it be?
STEVE: Nikon – F5 would be my second choice.
ANDREW: Reserve Bank of New Zealand
Home cooked meal or restaurant?
STEVE: Home-cooked meal. I’d have a nicely cooked steak with garlic and onion and some steamed vegetables followed by a nice little sorbet…
ANDREW: Restaurant. Me Goreng from Satay Village in Wellington.
What reality TV show would you go on?
STEVE: What’s that one with the fake millionaire guy? Not as Joe Millionaire, but as one of the chicks.
ANDREW: I’d be on America’s Most Wanted
Fur Patrol’s new album Collinder is out later this year.
