I remember when I was 16 I got caught drinking in public underage (they didn’t know I was underage until I gave my date of birth, the area was a no drinking area) and all they did was confiscate my can of cider and took some details and I was free to go, does the same outcome happen on the US?

Having never been to the US or cared enough about this issue to ask anyone, I have no idea.
Why ask the same generalised questions to everyone, including those it has nothing to do with, could you not be arsed to find out anything about me?
:(

(STAIF) So, today is Science Fiction Day. What’s your favourite piece of sci-fi (book, tv show, film, character, whatever)? ? ?? ?

What else but the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Douglas Adams was hilarious, devastatingly intelligent and a wonderful man, have you also read The Salmon of Doubt as evidence for this? :)

What has 2018 been like for you so far?

It's started well thanks mate!
Yesterday I visited my brother & sister in law who live in Singapore, as they came back for Christmas, near where she grew up.
This was my trip there:

Now I'm going out to see Black Country Communion with my dad, he has liked Glenn Hughes since the 70s and I've loved all the bands the members are in and find the supergroup even better than the sum of its parts.
Woo!

Hey all, I'm going to leave Ask. It's been fun and I've enjoyed getting to know many of you. I wish you all well. Grace.

:( I'm very sorry to hear that Grace, as I appreciated your questions & answers.
Please do ask anon questions or if you come back you're welcome, apart from that goodbye & have a good one.

Please use this question as a blank space to talk about whatever is on your mind at the moment. ?

Thanks, I haven't got anything to vent about but I appreciate your concern for those who do.
I'll be watching this film, I work in accounts and it my mum got me this as a present.

We said at work that we'd go to the cinema and watch it for a laugh but that didn't end up happening, so I look forward to catching up on the deeds of the evil accountant :)

What are you most looking forward to in 2018?

This is the main plan I've got.

Also, I will be doing this.

When I walked along the river during a trip a few weeks ago, I decided that at the end of May (that Monday is a punlic holiday here) I would do the Welsh side of the estuary, and vaguely want to do the English side another time, though there's no concrete plan for that yet.
So by May I hope to have built up a good body of work, not just of the urban part I visited in December, but all along.

How do you generally spend New Year's Eve?

I don't generally do anything, after Christmas and Boxing Day I don't want to, and who's going to stay up after midnight? Not me anyway!
This year on New Year's Day I look forward to visiting my brother and sister in law who live in Singapore and are back for Christmas & new year, they are staying for a week in this place that I've never been to.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodhouse_Eaves
It is between where he grew up and where she grew up so we're going to hang round and explore the area, which is good since I haven't been there and I like my sister in law's family but hardly ever see them because they live so far away.
So that's what it's all about, hopefully I'll get some good pictures & blog about it.

How was your Christmas?

It was good thanks, I saw a lot of friends I don't see often (such as my friends who live in France) at the party yesterday.
I'm not looking forward to going to work today and "settling into" the grind of 2018 as it won't be the festive season but I'm clinging on to the hope of my long-distance walk at Easter which includes this:

So it was good, I'm sorry the festive season is over (I don't do New Year) but I'm pleased to have reconnected with my friends and that in my weekend job (thankfully now over) I earned the money to oay fir 2018's escapades.

What is "Rural Rides" by William Cobbett about?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
It was about William Cobbett's trip around rural England in the 1820s, what he observed and what he thought were the causes of the problems people faced.
Views aren't mine (he was antisemitic and supported slavery, for instance) but if you take it with a pinch of salt it gives a fascinating glimpse into the lives and opinions of folk at the time.

Do you have an interest in G. K. Chesterton?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
Yes, I stumbled across him one day, I've read the Francis of Assissi book & this.
http://supremacyandsurvival.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/more-life-than-biography-chesterton-on.html
That's how I found Chesterton, by looking up people who'd written about William Cobbett after reading Rural Rides (which is also fascinating)
So the little I've seen encourages me to read more, which I hopefully will soon.

Please excuse my ignorance, could you tell me what you believe as an agnostic?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
It means I don't have any particular theological beliefs, but I'm not saying there isn't a God, as I certainly wouldn't rule it out.
So that makes me a woolly in-between but as the name suggests, I don't know.

I hope you don't mind the questions on religion. You said in your answer to whether or not you were a Catholic that you were once Catholic but the poor example of Catholics caused you to slip away. Would you say that people who are poor examples change the thing they follow badly?

StephenInd’s Profile PhotoStephen Ind
I don't mind at all.
Do you recall when Benedict said there would probably be a smaller, purer church and this may not be a bad thing?
https://aleteia.org/2016/06/13/when-cardinal-joseph-ratzinger-predicted-the-future-of-the-church/
So I suppose people like yourself will find that things change in that, as the church moves further away from the mainstream of society, you won't have so many hypocrites and pious frauds but you'll also be more seperated.
I say that I drifted away because of the bad examples set, but that probably wasn't the main thing, it was just a reflection of the fact that I simply stopped believing in the theological and other parts as a teenager. There was no sudden & dramatic break.
So I was an atheist for a while, then after a bout of illness (hypothyroidism) & a recovery I started thinking about things a bit differently. So I questioned, doubted & partly moved away from atheism without moving towards anything in particular and here I am really.
