Knitted terrorist profile
Trudy Mabouse, codename: PYRO
What is your weapon of choice?
I can do quite a bit of damage with a hot iron or a broom. I like finding subversive uses for ordinary household objects. I think my very favourite would be a frying pan of hot oil.
What is your favourite yarn?
Hemp. It's a bit tough but I can handle it.
What constitutes happiness for you?
The smell of burning poetry. There's nothing I love more than setting fire to pretentious arty nonsense..oh and people who talk utter bullshit about.
Provide us with your favourite manifesto quote:
"Implicit in this attitude is a belief in freedom, in the importance of people and the significance of the everyday. The image speaks, Sound amplifies and comments Size is irrelevant. Perfection is not an aim. An attitude means style. A style means an attitude." Taken from the Free Cinema Manifesto (1956)
What is your most treasured possession?
All my sharp kitchen implements, graters, knives, corkscews ..firelighters, anything flammable and accellerants.
Which terrorist/freedom fighter/capitalist pigdog (we like to be open-minded) do you most admire and why?
I think having heroes is for wimps. I answer to no one and follow my own lead.
What is your favourite film torture scene? Anything from Dirty Dancing cannot be used, in order to protect the innocent.
The burning scene at the end of The Wicker Man...oh I love Straw Dogs and Apocalypse Now, too!
What is your greatest fear?
Being subjected to contemporary poetry against my will. I would have to revolt and incite violence against the perpetrators.
What is your most unappealing habit?
Mumbling and grinding my teeth...or maybe burning things and then running away. It's got me in some serious trouble.
Which song would you like played at your funeral?
Wheels on Fire, by Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity
