Hope everyone had a lovely Easter (If it’s been way past this/don’t celebrate it then I hope you had a good day anyway 😅)

Might come back next week and drink stout
I fucking love stout.
It gets in the way of my fitness regime, but GK Chesterton drank stout and he would have died laughing at the idea of a fitness regime.
So I reckon I’ll get battered next Friday. I’m not meeting my girlfriend until June so it’s not like I’ve got any reason to stay sober?

What is your favorite drink on cold evenings?
People you may like
PAP of your Easter bunny!
If in that Syrian garden, ages slain,
You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain,
Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright
Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night
The hate you died to quench and could but fan,
Sleep well and see no morning, son of man.
But if, the grave rent and the stone rolled by,
At the right hand of majesty on high
You sit, and sitting so remember yet
Your tears, your agony and bloody sweat,
Your cross and passion and the life you gave,
Bow hither out of heaven and see and save.

What is your favorite horror movie?
The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue.
I can’t explain why without giving out spoilers, but I’d recommend it!

If I snapped my fingers just in front of an ant, would it sound like an explosion to it?
I don’t know, but ants are not to be trifled with!
When I was in the Highlands of Scotland,
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/tagged/highlands
I was with a group planting trees, and the leader invited us to sit in silence and meditate on the beauty of nature, the universe and so on.
But my enjoyment was marred by sitting on a nest of ants! They are fierce creatures! I wouldn’t want to make them explode, I’d just prefer them to stay away from my ass.

🏆 What do you think there should be a new Award created for? 🏆 And who, or what, would be on your shortlist of potential recipients?
There should be an award for intelligently raising awareness. Of a shortlist including Hannah Fry & Professor Alice Roberts, I’m awarding it to Tim Harford!
Yes, his sterling work on more or less and his latest series are unmissable!

Do you have a male or female celebrity crush?
QUEEN NADINE!
Do you try to look attractive when you go to the local grocery store?
No, but I saw this random sign in the city centre with no idea what it means!

What does the room you're in smell like? Mine currently smells like saltwater lotus candle
It doesn’t smell of anything to me, though perhaps there is a smell but my nose considers it normal and doesn’t notice it? I’m in the kitchen and people often say it smells like cooking (in a good way) but I can’t sense it now.

Have you ever been in a long-distance relationship?
Yes, I’m in one! It’s a bit harder since my girlfriend stopped living in the city and moved back in with her parents, but we’re going to meet as soon as we get vaccinated and when I buy my house, she will (though she declined my offer to live with me) be visiting!

Have you ever laughed loudly in a movie theater while no one else did?
No, but I did at the end of The Avengers (2012), which my brother had wanted to see because he’s into that sort of thing, say ‘What the bloody bell was that about’ slightly louder than I’d intended to, and got a few stares!
Do you feed hummingbirds? If you're outside of the Americas, are you jealous that you can't feed hummingbirds?
I’ve never fed a hummingbird but I do feed sparrows, though pigeons & crows tend to oust them from the perch and take much of the food!
I do like the look of hummingbirds tho? There are at least 360 varieties apparently, and this is one.

Is it worth working really hard your whole life to live comfortably at retirement?
Yes, I think it is and I support a higher minimum wage of the kind Joe Biden wants to introduce, so that hard work pays off and people can afford a good retirement.
I have a pension that partly comes from my wages and is partly paid for my the company. Although they pay into a scheme, it’s my pension so I had to myself transfer the money in the scheme they used to use into the new scheme.
This was hard work and took a long time, but I’m glad I have the flexibility to move my money if I change jobs, unlike old-fashioned pensions.
Yes, I agree that there should be good pensions and healthcare so people can get what they have earned, nothing more or less.

What will you give up for lent? If anything of course
I've gone vegan & also given up alcohol!
Why?
Because on Easter Sunday 2017 I woke up with a hangover and foodover and read this.
I had already started long-distance walks (off in 2010 and 2021 due to covid) and this advice took me to the next level. I'd say anyone looking to earn their rewards should consider a regimen of austerity, and a long-distance walk of the kind I used to go on.

Is there any way of stopping shoutouts
Had enough of shit questions being sent by people who didn't read my answers before sending them out, and won't read it after sending them out.
I don't interact because why bother with people who are themselves not bothered what I have to say.
If any of my mutuals or an interesting person who cares what I say wants to talk to me then they're welcome. I hope they will start by advising on how to solve this one.

~BOUNCING~ Have you ever been on/in: 1. A pogo stick? 2. A trampoline? 3. A space-hopper? 4. A bouncy castle? 5. A bungee jump? 6. A zorbing ball?
1. No, haven’t got the balance.
2. Certainly! My granddad bought one for my cousins, but I got more use out of it than them. It’s an excellent way to forget the cares of the world.
3. No
4. Only as a child! I’d go on one now if I owned one, which seems unlikely.
5. Not yet! Something to think about tho.
6. Not heard of them so no!

Pepsi or coca cola?
I don’t drink fizzy drinks apart from occasionally having a rum & coke. Sometimes I get served Pepsi, and they actually taste exactly the same. Why people stan one and hate the other is a mystery to me; they are talking about themselves and how they want to be seen by others, rather than the actual taste of the drinks.
As a child, which did you think would be the biggest threat to your adult life- quicksand, lava, bermuda triangle, or evil twins?
The thing I was most scared of was the danger of death signs on pylons, because I thought I’d be struck by lightning and killed!
