We decided last week it would be fun to have a Friday Fun blogpost every week and we decided to begin with a bit of getting to know youuuu, getting to know all abouttt you - well us really but you get the gist!
Soooo every week one of us will be telling you a little bit about themselves - this week Gill volunteered to go first - we formulated a selection of questions that everyone will answer (including you Tom - no-one escapes) and here goes;
1. Full Name? Gillian Josephine Lucia Punch.
2. Nickname? Gypsy Pirate – much appreciated Ronan (DON’T ask)
3. Birthplace? Cork
4. Eye colour? Green on a good day
5. Hair colour? Dark Brown
6. Marital status? 4 years down the line…who knows what little parcel might be under the tree….Seamus……wink wink nudge nudge….(not a hope people)
7. Children? I want a gazillion of them.
8. What do you do in RecruitIreland.com and how long have you been there? Been here in Sales since day 1…although if you were to add up the “sorry I’m late Sinead” texts, I’m probably here 6 months less than that.
9. What would be your last meal if on death row? All those who know me will have been asked this question by me at least 45 times…I’m slightly obsessed by all things food related…and more so by all things that come in Marks and Spencers packaging! Today, my last meal would be;
• Starter – Oooooh the prawns from Lal Quila Indian in Cork – serious yum!
• Main – Good old Burger with everything that was possible to fit on top of it, homemade chips (would have to be my own, I wonder would they allow me?) with Onion Rings and Garlic bread and Salad and some Roast potatoes on the side with some fillet steak.
• Dessert – Coconut Tart with double cream and a little bit of melt in the middle chocolate pud from M&S and a deep fried Mars Bar – memories of many good times in Glasgow. It’s my last meal – I’m not gonna worry about the weight or the arteries.
• Beverages – copious amounts of any alcohol at hand to dull the pain of what was ahead of me.
10. What is your drink of choice? When out Miller, when in Wine, when behaving Diet Coke (slight addiction here)

12. What food do you dislike? This is a toughie…coz id kinda eat anything, oh! I don’t like raisins or sultanas or currants – so anything with them in is a non runner. I'd just about manage a raisin and biscuit Yorkie but would have to eat around them.
