5 Questions to answer - Thank you on 16:08 - Aug 20 with 1535 views | Leadbelly | If you had a choice to live anywhere in the world quite comfortably where would that be ? Or is it simply out the question as the UK is the only place for you ? Canada If you had the power to eliminate one UK football team and send them into oblivion forever - who would that be and why ? Chelsea What profession do you wish you had pursued given your time all over again ? Something manual, probably carpentry What song by an artist do you consider the most inspirational and something you would play to give you a lift or Boost ? Much as I love music I'm not sure I've ever been inspired to do anything because of listening to one track. That said, the lyrics of Nigel Blackwell (Half Man Half Biscuit) usually put a smile on my face and have led me to investigate many of the references in songs, just so I know what he's on about. As a final request - what would your last meal/snack etc on planet earth be ? Dinner | |

Bacon sandwich is a superb call and whistled through my brain as I posed the question But It must have brown sauce ! And it’s always nice to have a reformed convict on board (kidding!) [Post edited 21 Aug 2018 21:10]

5 Questions to answer - Thank you on 18:00 - Aug 20 with 1498 views | DCPete | I do live in Virginia (just west of Washington DC, hence my username). But don't really like it here. Mum is 74 so I try to look out for her. Did live most years from 2003-2011 in Winterset Iowa (literally like the film Bridges of Madison County). But I think of San Francisco as home (1990-2001) .. Way too expensive to live there now, but I'm not that poor. May head back there this winter or spring 2019. Otherwise? London if I could afford it. Berlin, where I was a kiddo. Denver Colorado is nice. Went to high school there. My girlfriend was the total package that every boy envied. She liked me for my brain. Go figure :D | | | |

5 Questions to answer - Thank you on 15:16 - Aug 21 with 1428 views | noah4x4 | If you had a choice to live anywhere in the world quite comfortably where would that be ? Or is it simply out the question as the UK is the only place for you ? Galapagos Islands. Equatorial, but temperate climate; nothing there wants to eat you (as few things there have natural predators if you avoid the one island with the runner snakes!). Indescribable natural beauty, yet chic, technology advanced and sophisticated in the towns. Like (IMHO) an idyllic Greek island but without yoghurt, ouzo, migrants, debt, inflation, beggars and Mama Mia. If you had the power to eliminate one UK football team and send them into oblivion forever - who would that be and why ? Ipswich Town. Why, pretty obvious really. What profession do you wish you had pursued given your time all over again ? Astronaut or pilot. But never mind the G-Force, I would need a space capsule with an extra wide G width fitting, so it was never going to happen. What song by an artist do you consider the most inspirational and something you would play to give you a lift or Boost ? "It's my life and I do what I want" (Animals). I played this continuously for six months after my divorce to inspire me to change my life positively. As a final request - what would your last meal/snack etc on planet earth be ? A whole blue whale in a deep freeze with enough seafood sauce to make it palatable that I could eat very slowly before I was shot. Its 200 tonnes might keep me alive for at least the rest of my natural days. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

5 Questions to answer - Thank you on 16:14 - Aug 21 with 1416 views | Moor_Pinot | 1. I have not been to many other countries in my life - just four so it's hard to answer. France has given me the chance to buy a house whereas I couldn't in England when my life changed - like Noah's did - and although I didn't like it here at first I am grateful for the opportunity and am getting to feel settled now. It is nice here and far calmer with clean air less noise and a population less inclined to be acquisitive. It's still early but there's less that I miss about England now. So, hesitantly I will say 'rural France'. 2. I think I'd have liked to have been an art historian. 3. Dump Plymouth Argyle in the Channel. Horrible fans - anyone remember the 95 play off down there? Bristol rovers are not much better. 4. Days of Pearly Spencer - David McWilliams followed by the last 15 mins of any live Jethro Tull gig. 5. Doubt I could face anything but I'd wash it down with a pint of real ale from a preferred micro. Up the U 's | |

When I was in Hyderabad I didn't have a clue if it was night or day let alone telling the difference between four minutes past eight and six minutes past. If you ordered at 20:00 service was great! [Post edited 23 Aug 2018 16:50]
