[18:01] To ask a question type /msg #questions [Type Your Question Here] [18:02] *** Sandrita was kicked by Alf (Don't repeat) [18:02] i heard that graeme squires is a poof, is that true? [18:02] wild2001: No, I don't know. [18:02] HI Ben, what do you see your self doing in 10 years time?? [18:02] Sandrita: I dunno... living.

[18:03] Hey Jesse any comment on the way your car stealing scenes were filmed? Why didn't they show you getting your fingers in the keyhole or picking the lock of the cars, or hotwiring the ignition? I'd honestly say that's pretty slack filming if you ask me? [18:03] Alf: We were not allowed to show how to break into a car. [18:03] what is it like working with Sara Mumcu? [18:04] BlackRose: She's a very cute little girl. [18:04] <|PiL0T|> do you always answer a question with a question e.g: [17:59] Jesse - Why'd you steal my car? [17:59] Scar: What sort of car have you got?......this only supports my theory that you are not in fact the real Ben Unwin, because EVERY star that chats here always has the same attitudes and always answers questions with another question.
