Which kind of party would you prefer to attend: ? Masquerade/Fancy Dress/ Cosplay party; OR ? Small group intimate dinner party; OR ?? Loud music/ High energy dance party?

A dinner party with intellectuals, I'd attend one Simon Sebag Montefiore's events if he invited me.
I hear that very strong drinks were there and the conversation would be scintillating, because the guests are not only ferociously intelligent but know how to let their hair down.
We would drink & listen to the cure afterwards, but no nightclubs as I'm too old for that.
I know this song is meant to be sarcastic, but as a pseud I'd say this describes what I think about real intellectuals quite well.

If you have any questions in mind for me, I'm up for grabs.

Good morning Lucas, I'm not in the habit of asking questions as I can't always think of any! But I will bear you in mind and you're welcome to send me asks if you like.

Drop one English word which will make people check the dictionary!

Standard English is interesting because it contains Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Germanic elemts so words are often duplicated.
For instance, 'near' and 'close' mean exactly the same thing so why bother having two words? Because the first is Germanic and the second is French, and both are part of the language/tongue that all speakers of Standard English now use?

I just read the small print on my pack of hand wipes to read in horror “CAUTION: harmful to aquatic life with long term effects. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.” I will Tweet the company, but in the meantime what’s something you thought innocent that turned out to be dangerous?

Just discovered that the company I work for doesn't recycle, and the contents of the 'recycle bins' are just thrown away.
I know this isn't the right response but now I just think, why bother? Does anyone even care?

Favorite show ever! !

I love lots of shows but as a historian, I'd give special praise to this one.

It's about the run up to World War 1 and that's a theme that should be more widely discussed (I'd also recommend reading The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark), and will appeal to everybody because it's so well written and acted.
Not perfect (I'd have preferred the French, German and Russian scenes to be in the original language with subtitles, rather than all in English, and could have done with more about America, and more in general as it's quite short) but highly recommended.
The scene in which the German socialists are persuaded to support the war- which of course they did- is a master stroke.
Welcome to my ask, btw :)

It's October, aka "Spooky Season". What are some of your favourite spooky movies, whether they're horrors, thrillers, family friendly ones like Paranorman etc?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
No spoilers, but my favourite is The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke. Not only a masterly and horrifying story, but first-rate acting and a historical setting.
Look it up, though it's hard to avoid spoilers so I'd recommend watching it without previews and see how excellent it is.

Yesterday was International Pronoun Day. What are your pronouns? Feel free to use this to speak about your gender, trans people, your gender expression or how you express your gender now vs when you were younger etc.

I'm completely cisgender & heterosexual, it's good that LGBT people can be open about their orientation and I hope the remaining barriers are swept away soon. But it's never been something I do myself.

What are your favourite seasonal foods for Autumn/Fall? Btw did you know that the name "Fall" is actually older than the name "Autumn"?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
Yes, the etymology is interesting because fall is an Anglo-Saxon word, whereas Autumn is a Norman word! So my forebears would have said fall, though now I wouldn't use a term that, whatever its origins, has become an Americanism.
As for food, it's perfect time to be a soup fan, as I am, and I'm making soups of squash, pumpkin (I like to go on the first of November and buy what wasn't sold for Halloween at a discount), celeriac, leek & potato, and so on.
It's a bit depressing when you look in the 'seasonal' aisle of a supermarket and, instead of apples, pears and fresh Autumn vegetables, they have a load of Halloween tat which will soon give way to Christmas tat. But still, lovers of good food will have enough choice at this time of year!
