Name your next adventure. PAP of inspiration!

I've always got a load of plans, two journeys booked and a third will be booked this month when I get my wages and I'm back from this, my next one:
http://www.visitcheshire.com/things-to-do/the-gritstone-trail-p49561
This is the third, and shortest, of the three walks in the "series". Like the others it combines places I've been to and places I haven't, a good blend of familiar & unfamiliar.

I've got one massive and particularly hare-brained scheme that I'll probably do next year, but the enclosed is one of the places on my next trip. Viewers of criminally underrated TV series "The Village" will recall that in Series 2 the Allingham family lived here :)

Which topics, emotional themes, or degrees of humor appeal to you most when reading the answers of others? Additionally, do you mind reading conversations between people, or do you think Ask feeds should be limited to Q&A?

I've never really thought about it that much, I'm afraid :) Apart from I like anything Tolkien-y, for several years he lived in the city my girlfriend now lives in and I feel I have a lot in common with him, minus the being a genius bit :)

What I'd like to see more of is good questions of the day, today's isn't bad but I think you'll agree that most of them are woeful. And it's be good to see a million different opinions on the same topic, if it was an interesting topic.
One thing, when they allowed people to disable reading answers liked by people they follow, I actually kept mine. I don't follow too many people and all of them are great, so I never read anything unpleasant and it's a good gateway into the wider world and way of vaguely keeping aware of people I don't follow all the time. So I thought that was good and ask has become a bit narrower since most people turned it off.

The @Hadacol....where did the name come from? It was a snake oil named that in Louisiana, sold by a congressman. There was even a song about it. Two different Hadacol's perhaps?

Bocepous’s Profile PhotoRobin Hood
Thanks for asking :)
It's a reference to the same snake oil, I like Hank Williams and he went on the Hadacol Special with it. It wasn't a carefully thought out username, I just "had to call" myself something :)
"Two months ago I couldn't read nor write. I took four bottles of Hadacol, and now I'm teaching school."

How do you feel when you love someone so madly that you forget everything in life, but you still cannot tell that person or deep inside you know he/she doesn't feel the same way?

Shikharshah’s Profile PhotoShikhar shah
Because I liked you better
Than suits a man to say,
It irked you, and I promised
To throw the thought away.
To put the world between us
We parted, stiff and dry;
'Good-bye,' said you, 'forget me.'
'I will, no fear', said I.
If here, where clover whitens
The dead man's knoll, you pass,
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass,
Halt by the headstone naming
The heart no longer stirred,
And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word.
You want to have a look at that author, AE Housman, I love him. He really understood life imho.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." - Laozi. How do we know that we are on the right path, so that we don't travel miles only to find that we chose the wrong path?

Shikharshah’s Profile PhotoShikhar shah
If a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, it's better to take one step than sitting on the sidelines sneering at people who move slowly, without doing anything yourself.

Above all do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk myself away from every illness: I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it”- Soren Kierkegaard

What was the last book you read without skipping through anything?

Anon, I generally read books through because I can generally figure out whether I'm going to like something before spending time on it, so it's rare that a bad book gets into my set.
Most recently I listened rather than read, I like audiobooks because they're obviously more suitable for walking, hopping from train to train, etc than a physical book would be.
The recital by Peter Joyce made an already sterling book even better.

Arnold Bennett has become one of my favourite authors, many of his books are set in my home city where he was born and bred, this one is in London and it's one of my favourites. So look at the review then read, or listen, for yourself :)

Some muslims says that respect us because we are muslims "should people respect muslims just because they are muslims? people says respect all human being blah blah blah blah... but still some muslims making fun of other religion...then why people respect those muslims who don't respect us ?

We should respect people and their rights, not necesssarily respect their beliefs and certainly not allow anyone to tell us what to think & say no matter how "offended" they are.
Have a look at this (inevitably some people are "offended" by it but no one with any sense cares)
http://www.jesusandmo.net
In the particular case of Islam, people have the right to practice their faith but the obligation to accelt that others don't, and soecifically, some people want to change their religion, to become atheists like Maryam Namazie, or adopt a new faith.
Look at this for instance.

When violent men intimidate a WoC who is a refugee from persecution, how the hell can feminists be on the side of the male thugs? That is a problem, and Donald Trump isn't interested in solving it, only in picking on people who have nothing to do with violence & intimidation. It is all a mess but if you read Maryam's blog and remember you are attacking the regressive action, not the people, you won't go far wrong.

Is it wrong to point out a woman's showing bra strap?Why do people consider showing bra straps such a bad thing?

I'm not bothered about a woman showing bra straps, I think a man or woman ( both can be equally censorious) that goes round telling people off for what they wear needs to get other hobbies.

Shikharshah’s Profile PhotoShikhar shah
Reality is boring and crap, that's why people read fiction and live a fantasy life :)
Often reality is worse than just diappointing, it's horrifying. I don't think it's a coincidence that two of my favourite authors, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis, were both soldiers and saw horrors on the Somme (the Dead Marshes, for instance, is believed to be based on the dead soldiers that Tolkien saw poisoned by chemical warfare).
Have you noticed how people who talk about "living in the real world" are invariably boring and annoying and have no imagination?

Read "Tolkien and the Great War" by John Garth and you'll find why some people have a lot to be "escapist" about.

Which do you consider worse: emotional infidelity or physical infidelity? Why?

I think emotional infidelity is worse, at one point my girlfriend was seeing someone else and since she was open about seeing two men at the same time I didn't mind, though he did and he dumped her because of it.
If that had all been done behind my back, which is what I'd define as emotional infidelity, that is worse. If you can't communicate with each other, it isn't right.

Would you want to bike the Tour de France?

YES! And finally a good qotd!
I'd love to be the next Froomie, cycling is so much better than football because it takes skill, intelligence, forward thinking and real discipline. You won't see cyclists beating their wives, abusing girls and doing all the other shit footballers do. Look at this, it's inspirational.
