GET TO KNOW ANDY FLISHER:

Andy, describe yourself in three words?

Detailed, process-orientated and pragmatic.

Best compliment you've received, Andy?

I got one recently actually, it was in a rugby match. One of the players said: "He's all right, actually."

What motivates you, Andy?

Solving problems. I see pretty much everything as a problem to solve. And that's where the satisfaction comes from.

What's one thing you're bad at, Andy?

I'm a really great procrastinator! So, I'm really bad at moving from one task to another. I lose time in-between.

Have you met anyone famous, Andy?

As a member of my school choir, I performed before Princess Diana at Canterbury Cathedral.

Best advice you've heard, Andy?

Never eat yellow snow. I’ve followed it too.

Andy's dream travel destination?

Canada/North California. Or just Africa again. I've been lucky enough to go to South Africa before, twice, actually.

Andy, what would win in a fight in space: a bear or a shark?

I'll go with the shark. I think it would just be a little bit more mobile in this hypothetical scenario where it hasn't died horribly. We’ve now ended up in Douglas Adams territory with a whale and a bowl of petunias if you get that reference.
