Are you happy with how you look? I try to be but it's not easy tbh. I know I am more than what I look like but I see the preferential treatment attractive people get and sometimes feel envious. I don't think I'm ugly but there's a lot of pressure to look good and I wish I was immune to it.
What's Love for you today?

Just went into the cantain, there was chicken wraps labelled as halal, I asked for non halal due to my religious beliefs as I can’t eat meat offered up to a false God and there wasn’t any non halal, I feel offended and I’m going to have to go hungry now.
Why not eat a vegetarian meal?
Better still, why not stop committing crimes, and then you won't be sent to prison in the first place?

How many of you can 100% honestly say that your opinion of someone you do like/get along with would NOT change if you found out they like/support things you strongly dislike/hate? I’m mostly referring to political views but interpret this however you please.
Things I hate are bullies, wilfully stupid and ignorant people, and those who go out of their way to be unpleasant.
I have a number of friends who are conservative and support Brexit, I explain why I disagree with their views and we may have an interesting debate or leave it there. The politics I dislike aren't so much about views but, for instance, this
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/07/john-bercow-urges-police-to-do-more-after-nazi-taunts-against-anna-soubry
I would never have anything to do with a scumbag who supported this. A hardcore conservative called Jake Rees-Mogg was attacked in a similar way at his home; while I dislike him and my disagreements with him are obvious, anyone who condones a personal attack on him and his family is NOT on my side.
The two are the same as personal attacks and intimidation are never acceptable, and unfortunately the antisemitism row proves this is found everywhere.
So I'm not sure it's about the beliefs of any particular "left-wing" or "right-wing" school of thought (though I'm on the left myself), it's about the fact that I hate bullies and thugs even if they claim to support the same things as me, they don't.

Do you remember when I speculated on what would happen if Ben Isaacs & Diana married and had children?
Maybe this is their child, instead of taking baby steps and gurgling mummy and daddy like most babies it's just starting its career of incoherent hatred on the internet.

If you have siblings are you close? I have two and I don't h&te them but I'd be ok with not seeing them for a long time or talking to them much or at all. We just don't have anything in common besides our parents. I'm not sure if this is unusual or not.
I have a brother who is 5 years older than me,I'm not so close to him (even before he moved abroad we didn't see much of each other) and I may sometimes tell you I don't like him but I'd defend him to the death against anyone else!
Here we are left to right.
Stanzin, who used to be scholarship girl at the school my brother teaches at and was living with my brother and sister in law. She has become one of the family and is now living in India, but was with us for a visit.
Mum
Brother
Sister in law
Dad
Me (don't mind the resting bitch face but don't you love the pengiuns?)
So that is us as a family, I don't mind that our get-togethers don't happen very often but I'm glad they do sometimes and maybe you are with our siblings, even if you sonetimes wonder why!

Banana or strawberry?
Banana now, I eat fresh strawberries in the English strawberry season in summer but I don't like imported, dried or tinned strawberries.
I'll use it to bake banana bread if that's ok?

You have a generous (but not too generous) amount of $$ to buy groceries to feed yourself for the week (breakfast/lunch/dinner and snacks). What do you buy?
A traditional English Sunday roast tomorrow,
Monday a Subway meal followed by oat & raisin biscuits
Tuesday a lamb rogan josh, rice & naan bread
Wednesday pies from http://greatnorthpie.co/ and mashed potato
on Thursday pies and dessert from https://www.russianpies.com/
Mission Burrrito Friday
Saturday a ham sandwich on crusty rolls
Dessert of a large Green & Black selection box and Gray's herbal tablets. Washed down with 100plus, coconut juice with pulp, mango juice & in the evenings red wine.
That is at least twice what I'd actually spend on food in a week so I hope that's ok?

Can you imagine yourself as an old man/woman? If you can, what kind of life do you hope to be living and where?
I'd like to be a wise, venerable old man of the kind that people ask for advice.
But more likely, I'll spend my early retired years doing interesting things with my free bus pass, then decline and die or go senile?

If you had the opportunity to turn back time and change something, name a few things you would change.
I'd have stayed on at university and done my MA, it's a great place and a great community and only the lack of confidence I had at the time prevented me from doing it.

That and the fact that I was drinking so much, but this again is something I shouldn't have done and could easily have avoided.
I'm not talking about having a career as an academic, but I want to further my education just out of interest , because I want to be informed about the subject and to be a historian.
It would be much harder to enrol on a course now as the scholarships are harder to find than they would have been then and I'd have to pay the fees and take a sabbatical from work. So that is what I would do if I could wake up in 2006.

What song can't you resist singing along to?
Since I'm going to Poland in April, going to Torun (where my granddad came from, before joining the RAF and being driven into exile by Stalin).
When I was doing background research on Poland I came across this and I love it :)

Do you take any vitamin/mineral supplements? Do you think most are a waste of money or even harmful because people are diagnosing themselves with deficiencies which may not exists?
I don't take any myself. They can be useful so long as they are strictly kept within the limits of adding vitamins which are rarely found in everyday foodstuffs, or helping people with (for instance) iron deficiency, but like many good things are worse than bad when misused.
If you're asking my views on anti-vaxxer and AIDS bullshit-selling scum, I agree they should be imprisoned for fraud.

What did you do for New Year's Day?
I didn't do anything!
At Christmas I visited my brother who lives abroad
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/tagged/singapore
And I made posts about my trip but was too jetlagged to do much else. I don't really celebrate New Year anyway, but I hope you had a good one and will thrive in 2019!

Thank you, and the same to you :)
My resolutions are.
Cycle more & take better care of my bike (the gearbox is knackered, will cost a fortune to fix, and I'm going to make certain I use it and get my money's worth!)
Lose fewer things (and save a lot of money thereby)
Read books
2018 was a bit of a stagnant year so I'm hoping 2019 picks up.

I'm good thanks, I went to a new year party but left early. To be honest I couldn't be bothered to stay any longer, but I saw my friends and I'm happy and hope to be at peace with everyone and have a good year in 2019.

When you're super busy do you still find time to go on ask ?
Sadly I don't spend enough time here, and can't always think of anything to say in response to a question; I hope people don't think that is rude :(
So I'm sorry to say I don't, as there are cooler people and more fun to be found here. But I won't earn my wages by going on ask!

When I got that question about which show I'm watching...
I'm not proud of myself but it's the generation I come from, anyone born in the 1980s will understand even if they say otherwise!

do you really believe you’re intelligent? why?
I hope I'm intelligent enough, especially compared to the general public, people at work etc, but I am humble as I compare myself to the people I admire, who are more intelligent than me.
So it depends on the standard, I would probably score highly on an IQ test compared to the average but I don't think I am anything special compared to the people I compare myself to.

?- what show are you currently binging on?
I'm not watching a show but I just watched The Last Temptation of Christ, it's an excellent, thought-provoking film as you'd expect from Marty Scorsese, who continues to make great films to this day (I also recommend his latest, The Silence).
https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-last-temptation-of-christ-1988
I put on some French subtitles, I now have French or German subtitles with every English-language film I watch to try and learn a bit of language.
