| TOTP: What's the most stupid thing you've done in the morning?
Carl: I was sleeping on both of my arms once and they were all, like, dead. And then my alarm rang and I went for it. I just fell face first onto the floor.
TOTP: Have you ever woken up with your eyes gummed together and thought you were blind?
Carl: No. Maybe at a festival...
Andy: I've woken up with them gummed together through hayfever, but I don't think that I thought I was blind. I just thought, "I can't open my eyes. That's a bit strange."
TOTP: Have you ever woken up in a room and had no idea where you were?
Carl: Yes.
Andy: Regularly.
Carl: Round Kings Cross mostly.

TOTP: Care to expand on that?
Carl: No, it happens too often to...
Andy: I once carried Carl home on my shoulder in Tokyo and left him a lift, and I woke up and I didn't have a clue where he was.
Carl: I managed to wake up in my own room though somehow.
TOTP: Do you ever play sleepytime pranks on each other?
Andy: My drum tech gets in bed with me...
Carl: Yeah, Stu.
Andy: He got in my bunk the other night, which was scary.
TOTP: Have you ever woken up in a morning glory embrace with your drum tech?
Andy: We narrowly avoided that. It got quite scary.
TOTP: Have you ever gotten sick on yourself in your sleep?
Carl: When I was a kid I was going to puke but I was too stupid to move, so I just stayed 'til I puked and then I moved. That was 1988 in Germany after eating lots of liquorice on a ferry.
TOTP: In which direction do you shave?
Andy: I go down and up. Carl uses an electric shaver
Carl: I use an electric razor shaving machine thingy so...
Andy: You go down to shave off the hair and then you go back up to get the smooth.
Carl: I need to learn that.

TOTP: Full English or Continental breakfast?
Carl: Full English!
Andy: Full English. What? Croissants and coffee, no thank you!
TOTP: And this coming from a Swede?
Carl: I don't drink coffee and we don't have croissants in Sweden. In Sweden we have yogurt and muesli and then some nice bread with cheese and red peppers on and a cup of tea. That's how I grew up.
TOTP: That's just plain strange...
Andy: I like Carl's breakfast.
Carl: It's very healthy! It's not fry-ups.
TOTP: When you're staying at a hotel, do you have the breakfast just because it's free?
Andy: We've gone past that. Without meaning to sound blase.

TOTP: Is that how you know that you've made it? When you can take or leave a free breakfast?
Carl: Usually they stop too early.
Andy: So we have to get it specially made. Because we come down at 10 and it's stopped. And that's the early guy, that's me.
Carl: Yeah, I wake up when we have to leave mostly.
TOTP: How long in the morning after waking can you present yourself to your mum?
Carl: [Not understanding seedy line of questioning] Straight away! When I stay at my mum's house, she wakes me up really early. That's the only problem. But then I get fed, well fed. I'm always going to look healthy when I'm there.
Andy: It's lovely having your mum round in the morning. My mum's coming up this week to stay with me. I'm looking forward to that. It's my birthday, so she's coming up to make me breakfast. In the morning with mum.
TOTP: What's your morning beauty regime?
Carl: In the morning, I sleep quite long so I never look tired.
Andy: Carl's very beautiful so he doesn't have to do anything. I like the morning.

TOTP: What about moisturiser?
Andy: Yeah, a bit of moisturiser. Plus, I like to wash my hair before bed. And then go to bed. And then when I get up in the morning, I look like Mozart. That's what I like.
TOTP: Yes, that's a bit of a crazy bedhead look you've got there. Is it cultivated?
Andy: [Looking in mirror remorsefully] I wouldn't say that that was cultivated.
Carl: Thatch!
Andy: Yeah, I get called 'Thatch'. I don't try. Its sounds awful to say I don't try. But I do stand in the mirror and do that which is messing it up, for readers.
TOTP: Do you have any lady like beauty habits?
Carl: I don't think that it's got anything to do with sex or masculinity, but I don't mind plucking my eyebrows. I've forgotten about it lately so now they've sort of grown.
Andy: I shave does shave count? No, that's just general...
Carl: No, that's too masculine to count.
TOTP: Have you shaved anywhere else?
Andy: I had a friend who shaved his legs once and he couldn't walk for five days, so I learned my lesson through him.
TOTP: But ladies do it all the time!
Andy: Yeah, but it's unnatural for a man to shave his legs and wear jeans. I don't know, maybe it was just incredibly sensitive under his jeans.
