Jim shares the best holiday he’s ever been on ✈️, his favourite tv show and what animal he would be in another life. He chats about his love of travelling 🌍 and what he misses from his childhood.
What’s the best holiday you’ve ever been on?
My wife and I went to New Zealand for a year to do a working holiday and we got engaged there 💍. We did a whistle-stop tour of the island and then stopped for a bit longer in Wellington.
What’s your favourite food? 🍽
Chinese takeaway, I usually get crispy shredded honey chilli chicken 😋. I’ve also started cooking so enjoy making classic meals like shepherd’s pie and things like that.
What habits do you wish you could stop?
I bite my nails, as a 37-year-old man it’s not really ideal 💅, I only really do it when I’m stressed.
If you were an animal, what animal would you be? 🐆
Maybe a dog seems. It seems like a good life, sleeping on the sofa 💤and going for walks 🦮
What do you regret when you get to the end of the year?
I’m bad at catching up with friends when I get invited. I always forget, or I don’t go. So I definitely try to make more of an effort in the new year.
What’s your favourite film? 🎬
The Princess Bride, or What We Do in the Shadows it’s a funny mockumentary which follows these vampires around trying to live a normal life.
Is there anything you find frustrating?
I’m renowned in my friendship group for being the chill one so nothing really. However, I do get annoyed at bad drivers and things that don’t work properly.
What would you love to do more of? ❤️
Probably travel. Me and my wife used to travel quite a bit but now we have kids and we’ve also moved house so our budget is a little tighter.
Which dead celebrity would you bring back to life?
Can I save this one for when David Attenborough goes?
What’s the best thing about working at Ocasta?
It’s the people, everyone is really friendly and welcoming and I like the Donuts 🍩 too (Random 15-minute chats we have every week).
What do you miss most about your childhood?
I get nostalgic sitting cross-legged in front of my games console and just playing computer games for hours 🎮. I don’t even have one any more, I sometimes play on my PC but not much.
What do you want to do when you retire?
Probably just chill, maybe go travelling ✈️. I don’t think I would ever completely retire, I’d always need something to keep me occupied.
