Q: Tell us, when was the last time you went away on holiday?
A: As a matter of fact, I've just been away to a beach house in Southern California. It was a little getaway from the daily busy, busy, busy Backstreet life! I just went on my own but I had friends visit me
Q:
Sounds like fun! So what was the last item of summer clothing you
bought? A: I don't tend to distinguish between summer clothing
and just 'clothing' because a lot of the time it's hot where we
are. But I guess the last thing I actually
boutght was a big floppy summer hat!
Q: Trendy fella, eh?! And what about the last summer party you went to? Tell us about it!
A: The last summer party was probably at my house in Puerto Rico about a month ago. It was a really great night with lots of dancing and good times!
Q: Party on dude! When was the last time you got sunburnt?
A: I have to be careful because although I'm quite dark, I do have a tendency to burn in strong sunlight. I can't actually remember the last time I got burnt because I always take along some factor 15!
Q: Wise words Howie. So when was the last time you pigged out on ice cream?
A: I always have ice cream in the house because I love it! All flavours, any time of the day or night. I guess I don't have a favourite, but the one that springs to mind immediately is a kind of caramel swirl thing, Mmmmm!
Q: And what was the last book you read on a beach?
A: I'm currently reading Harry Potter at the moment and I started that on the beach a little while ago. It's a great story and I'm really looking forward to the movie. It's gonna be brilliant!
Q: You're not wrong Howie! So when was the last time you went for a bit of a swim in the nuddy?
A:
Ha ha! Don't even go there man! Skinny dipping really isn't my
kinda thing, so I'll have to say that the very last time was when
I was just a little kid. you can do that kinda thing when you're
about 4
years old!
Q: Boo! So tell us the best thing that happened to you and the lads last summer.
A: The best thig that happened last summer was finishing the Black & Blue album and getting some time to relax because we'd been working really hard on it. We got some time in the Bahamas which was very cool!
Q: Very cool indeed! When was the last time you got saucy with a laydee on a beach?!
A: (Laughs) I'm a gentleman so I wouldn't really like to say! But I will admit that when I was in Southern California, I did spend some time with a young lady. And that's all you're getting! Ha ha!
Q: Spoilsport! Finally, what's your last word for the Summer Special 2001?
A: I guess it's gotta be SUNSHINE!
