QUICK FIRE! GET TO KNOW ANDREW

What sport do you most enjoy watching?

I have been a Formula 1 fanatic since the age of 11.

 

What’s your go-to comfort media?

As a former sound engineer and radio guy, I enjoy sitting down and listening to music, especially the production and musical aspects of a recording.

Which TV show did you love most growing up?

There were so many cool TV shows in the 80’s!! (no such thing then as streaming that creates a silo effect today). My all-time favourite was MacGyver – I still have my Swiss Army Knife!

 

A word I love that has no direct English translation is…

Lekker! In South Africa there is a colloquial word ‘Lekker’ (from Afrikaans). It can mean a variety of things like “good,” “nice,” or “great”. Such as “That was a lekker game!” (I enjoyed that game!) or “We had a lekker time at the beach.” (We had a great time at the beach.)
