The Team's Questions For Jacob
Click on the boxes to reveal his answers
Favourite fil & why?
"Any of the Cornetto Trilogy. Popping them on is like chatting to an old friend, I might know most of the words but the punchlines hit just the same"
Pet lion or pet jaguar?
"Jaguar, sounds cooler and is a bit more metal. Like a Jaguar that I could ride into battle that shoots lasers from it’s eyes please. Like a cheesy 80s prog rock album cover. Lions just sleep all the time"
if you could change your name for a day, what would it be?
"Jacob 2.0, just so that I could pretend to be the new and improved Jacob for a day"
What law would you make that every person had to follow?
"Similar to National Service, at the age of 16 every UK citizen has to have a job where you have to interact with the public. Working in a shop, or a restaurant. Everybody needs to truly understand what catering for the masses is like. I’d hope it would make a generation of more well adjusted people"
What would be the theme tune to your life and why?
"Two cymbals, crashing together. Endlessly"
What’s been your best achievement so far while working at The Bright Click?
"My self-confidence has grown massively. I am a very outwardly confident individual, yet I have never been confident in myself. I feel that through hosting client interactions, and slowly growing more faith in the merit of my work"
What’s helped you settle most into your role so far?
"An understanding set of colleagues. The knowledge that it is okay to make mistakes"
Strangest thing about Southerners?
"As I have recently moved down here, I have noticed a few quirks you folks have. The most blaring difference is how you guys seem to be so accepting to pay absolutely wild amounts for a beer at the pub"
Do you collect anything?
"Bad habits"
What is the silliest item you bought or considered buying?
"I am the proud owner of a kangaroo scrotum. Obviously it is tanned leather so it doesn’t look all that offensive. I got it as a kid. Used to keep my marbles in it and try to freak out other children"
Were you well-behaved or naughty at school?
"Somewhere in the middle. Homework is for chumps. More school after school?! Absolutely not. I am still willing to die on that hill"
What’s your favourite fizzy drink and why?
"Prosecco. It has time bending properties that science hasn’t fully understood yet. Drink some of it and your whole evening disappears. Marvellous stuff!"
Would you show your browser history to the rest of the team?
"I daren’t have a look at my own history. Them 3am curiosity googles get weird"
Would you rather be the funniest person in the room or the smartest?
"The funniest. I’d rather bring joy into a room than critical thinking"
Would you rather have the ability to see 10 minutes into the future or 150 years into the future?
"10 minutes into the future... now that is something I could get behind. Only if I can change my timeline. I can pop 10 minutes ahead, see which horse wins, and make a bet"
What’s your guilty pleasure song?
"Mcfly, 5 Colours In Her Hair. Belting tune"
