WHAT MAKES CORMAC SMILE (APART FROM US, OF COURSE)

There's nothing we enjoy more than having a good ol' laugh, so we catch up with another of our lovely clients, Cormac Smith from Baird's CMC to find out what makes him smile:

If you had to pick a TV series (running now or in the past) what would it be and why? ​

Repair shop - it’s so comforting.

What is the food that is guaranteed to make you happy? Where's the best place you know to get it?

Fresh oysters, smoked salmon, Irish soda bread and butter all washed down with several pints of Guinness - anywhere on the west coast of Ireland, but maybe Dingle!

What actor is the one you'd search for to make you laugh and what is it about them?

Peter Sellers - and do you need to ask?

Clouseau interrogates the staff
What song is guaranteed to make you smile?

Song for Ireland. 

Mary Black - Song For Ireland
Where in the world would you like to go (with no travel or budgetary restraints!). Why there?

Berlin for clubs, history and style, Kyiv to see friends and Wicklow to see the Mammy.

What is it about working at Baird's CMC that makes you smile?

The people, the values and the great diversity.

Any particular moment in your past career that you've thought about that still makes you smile?

Any one of dozens from the battle of Dale Farm 2011 but walking out of the high court late one afternoon, into a baying crowd who threatened violence as they followed two of us screaming ‘Tory Scum’ for a few hundred meters (Her majesty’s constabulary were strangely absent) always makes me giggle.

What's the loveliest surprise you've ever received that made you smile?

A Christmas gift from my partner of ‘bronze silverback’ -  my pet name among some friends, it has pride of place on the sideboard to this day. 

A very real Silverback
Favourite jokes we should know about?
  1. A photon checks into a hotel and the Concierge says: “Any bags sir?" the photon replies: “No, I’m traveling light”.
  2. Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger are in a car and pulled for Speeding. Cop says to Heisenberg, who is driving: "Do you know how fast you were travelling?". "No", says Heisenberg, "but I can tell you where I was at the time you clocked us."
    "OK, smart ass", says the cop, "Can you open the boot please?" On examining the boot the cop says: "Do you know there is a dead cat in here?" "I do now." says Schrodinger.

Finally - if you had to choose one video on the Sticky homepage that makes you smile, what would you choose?

Laurel and Hardy.


Thanks to Cormac for taking part, being a great client, and for making us smile too.
