Would you rather feel The Weeknd’s face or see Andy McNab’s face? Actually, you don’t have to choose; you’re probably equally capable of doing both/neither. But it’s something to think about while you listen to Answer Me This! Episode 327, in which we also deal with questions about:
party poppers
piercings vs mum’s disapproval
Sixpence None The Richer vs drug references
Olly vs his own feelings about Tom Cruise
being struck by lightning
vegetarian weddings
envious actors
humiliating ham
the moment Dr Martens ceased to be the footwear of rebels
and
Greek wine.
Plus: we learn who is Olly’s 47th favourite film star; Helen’s imaginary boyfriend didn’t even spring from her own imagination; and Martin the Teenage Physics Weirdo thinks people should express themselves through their appearance and through their weddings.
In today’s Bonus Bit of Crap on the App, Olly reveals: 1. what he thinks of ‘Golden Brown’ by The Stranglers; 2. which songs make him want to piss. We know you’ve been desperate to learn these two things, so rush to the app, which is available for iThings, Android and Windows devices.

I found your blog/podcast through Guardian about the subject (looking for some advice). I enjoyed listening!

Re Andy McNabb’s fear of being photographed…
Personally I think it is all for show and not a requirement of his previous service. Why? Because Chris Ryan, who was also a member of Bravo Two Zero, has not only written his own books but also appeared on TV. He did something with Derren Brown and actually played an SAS soldier (Blue Troop SNCO, Staff Sergeant Johnny Bell) as well as a load of other stuff!
