I'm reaaaaally sorry for not updating for ages. There were ma-hay-hay-jor technichal dificulties on my part and Ruari, well he fell through a time vortex and is currently lost somewhere in the Victorian era.
I'm going to chase up the people who said they would give us an interview and try and get more.
I'll also be adding new things like "Jay's word of the week" and such like so please bare with me till I get it all sorted out.
Remember you can leave questions for anyone on one of the posts and you can suggest who you would like to be interviewed and I will try my best to get them.
Hope you all had a great Christmas ad all the best for the New Year.

Ed Petrie, what a brilliant human being!
How did you get into TV presenting?
Well, I was always into acting since the age of about 6, so I did lots of amateur dramatics and acting at school, as well as getting a place in the National Youth Theatre. Then I did a drama degree at Goldsmiths, worked in telly as a runner and researcher for a bit, started doing stand up, got an agent, got a casting for Nickelodeon and then ended up on CBBC. There you go – that’s basically my entire life in one paragraph. Not bad going!
Do you ever feel weird talking to a cactus?
Strangely, no! Oucho and me just clicked from the start. Working with him was just a non stop laugh, so I’m hoping I get to do something with him next year when I’ve finished working on my latest show ‘All Over The Place’, which should be on some time in February 2011.
In 5 years what do you see yourself doing?
I have absolutely no idea! But then if I did, I think I would feel bored. I’ve never had any sense of what I’ll be doing in a few months time, let alone a few years. Something always seems to come along, especially if you keep busy.
If you could be anyone or anything from a video game who would you be and why?
Dry Bowser in Mario Kart. He’s a total bad ass and takes no prisoners! And I had to play way too much of that game to unlock him…
What historical figure would you most like to punch in the face and why?
Well, I don’t really condone violence in any form, but I’d quite like to give that Adolf Hitler a firm telling off. My Grandad had a pretty horrible time thanks to him, and where I live in South East London you can still see all the places that got bombed to bits. Naughty, naughty man!
If you were to only eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
CURRY!
You are allowed one trip in the TARDIS, where/when do you go and with which Doctor?
I’d love to walk down the old London Bridge. It used to have houses and shops on it, which I think was quite cool. And I think I’d probably get on best with David Tennant. We share the same taste in shoes.
Would you rather hug a bear or kiss a crocodile?
Hug a bear. At least I’d get to snuggle up against it before it ripped my face off.
What would you do if you woke up and everybody in the world was gone?
Learn how to grow vegetables. Those frozen pizzas aren’t going to last long!
Would you rather have no hair on your head or no eyebrows?
No eyebrows obviously. You can just draw them on. I’ve got a lumpy head, so I’m not looking forward to being bald!
What do blind people dream about?
I dunno. Ask them. There’re plenty of them around!

The world has descended into a zombie apocalypse, how do you survive?
By sitting in my cellar crying and eating tins of baked beans.

Please read this before you start throwing shoes and whatnot at us.
There has been a lack of updates recently because both Ruari and I have been at college, my internet isn't working properly and now Ruari is away to Florida (if there are any Floridians kicking about feel free to hunt him down and capture him.)
Anyway I'm trying to get my internet to work long anough for me to post things and I'm still waiting for people to send the questions back. Neither Ruari or I have run a website before so we're just learning the ropes so give us a wee while to settle in.

p.s. a kind Anon pointed out that there are spelling mistakes in some of the posts, just so you all know I'm Dyslexic so it's not as if I can help it.

Just so you know what's happening
We officially have a custom domain (http://www.headfirstblogzine.co.uk) and I'm currently trying to get my simple little mind round how to upload icons and logos and such. I know we've promised lots of interviews and only have one up so far but we've sent the questions away and are just awaiting replies. Please stick about cos they're sure to be up soon.
