Today in America it's Groundhog Day, where we all watch as a tame groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, comes out to either see it's shadow or not, predicting how much winter weather is due for the rest of the season. What weird celebrations does YOUR country have? If you're American, what's another America

Bonfire Night or whatever it's called has always been a festival that makes no sense to me, I might have vaguely liked a firework display if not for the fact that my dog is scared of them.

(Which local chavs have now taken to setting off at random times, which can't be avoided).
So that's one festival that has never in any way made sense to me.

Do you take any vitamins? How to choose them correctly?

I don't take vitamin supplements fam, I hope there are enough in my diet.
I just ate a pineapple as it happens :)

What are you drinking usually during walking?

Unfortunately I'm not able to drink when walking, I'd like a rum & coke but it isn't a good idea in case I fall over
I can't live up to the legend

Sorry a very simple question you used "churnalis" in answer to my question about the Economist. What does it mean?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
Apologies, I misspelt "churnalism" (my spelling has degenerated since getting an ipad!)
Churnalism is the phenomenon by which media outlets, even allegedly reputable ones, fail to do their own research or hire staff and regurgiate claims by hacks.
This website and book are an excellent counter to that:
http://www.flatearthnews.net/about-book
Donald Trump, for whom I have little or no regard, was right about one thing, that the media has become discredited. Unfortunately he is part of this corruption himself as he repeats discredited Russian and otherwise fabricated memes uncritically.
I read The Economist because it hires real staff who actually spend time familiarising themselves with the people and places they write of. For this reason I pay to read it because I know my money will be better spent there.

In an answer here you mentioned for forgot to bring your copy of the Economist when visiting your mum. Do you read the Economist regularly? Do you find it good?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
Yes, and since writing that I've read this week's copy :)
I disagree with its right-wing, "classical liberal" stance, but I find it the best source of information for round the world events. This, combined with the World at One which I listen to on the radio at lunchtime, is my source of news.
These outlets have continued to do real reporting and have correspondents posted in other countries who know the countries they're stationed in and how to represent them to a home audience. You can also get this from the radio programme From Our Own Correspondent which discusses events around the world.
Which is a rarity in churnalis. so I'm certainly willing to pay for.

What did you do over the weekend?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
It was really interesting thanks, I attended a re-enactment if a battle that took place near where I live in 1644.

Despite having studied the Englush Civil War & written my dissertation on it, I actually didn't know that a turning point in history occurred in a town I regularly visit, so I appreciated the living history lesson.
Apart from being fired on by a cannon!

Is there something you want to build? What is it? How do you imagine the process happening? ?

want to do a photobook again!
The greatest one I did was chronicling my walk http://twosaintsway.org.uk at Easter 2016, along with other times I'd been to the same place to give a seasonal contrast.
Now, I want to do all of this & make a book about it
http://www.trentriverstrust.org/site/projects/trent-valley-way
I've been to the head of the river (see enclosed) and well downstream, but I haven't covered every stretch, so it will be covering new ground and weaving the threads together.

What do you constantly forget about?

I don't remember :)
On a serious note, I'm at my mum's and I forgot to bring my manbag. It has my copy of The Economist that I still haven't read and I don't know what else, but I'm sure I need it!
Also I forgot these four rolls from my favourite baker, I haven't got the bread now when I need it but I will have it tomorrow when it's stale!?

What stores are popular now? Do you like clothing they offer?

I'm afraid I don't know what's popular :)
I'll tell you what I'm wearing. Blue trousers, multicoloured socks and this t shirt.

Thanks, as always, for your answer about Home Rule. In that answer you mentioned that after independence the Irish state drove out Protestants. How was this done?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
There were various vigilante attacks, mainly on wealthy members of the pre-1914 ascendancy, but also on poor Protestants.
http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/users/ireland/past/protestants_1861_1991.html
Interestingly, recent immigration has led to a rise in Protestantism as black Pentecostal churches have experienced growth, much as in England, but I'm talking about the demise of traditional, mainly Anglican, religion.
This is, as I say, not a subject I know that much about (hence the reference to wanting to study it) but I'd start with Michael McConville and progress to that.
