Queen Live Magic in 1986 at Wembley

Only if feeding my Prodrive Scoobie oil counts :p :

Are you a member of the mile high club?

[slinkster]

hehe not yet no.

Do you like sushi?

[52Paddy]

I do, though I haven't tried it very often. I've always meant to get some sushi for lunch but it keeps slipping my mind.

Can you handle your alcohol well?

[555-04Q2]

When I was younger, yes! Used to warm up on a Friday night with a case of beers before we went out clubbing then hit the hard tack all night! These days I don't drink too much since my kids were born and I get sloshed after three beers :laugh:

Do you have wild animals that frequent your garden?

[slinkster]

Yeah... the occasional hedgehog and lots of birds of course. I don't have a very big garden though.

Would you rather be a pirate or a ninja?

[555-04Q2]

Ninja. The wooden leg would get uncomfortable after a while and the parrot on the shoulder would drive me nuts :p :

Whose your favourite actor and actress?

[slinkster]

I think you already know what I'm going to say but - of course it's Johnny Depp. Not only is he just beautiful... but he's an extremely talented actor and a good father to his kids. :)

What was the last gig/concert you went to?

[555-04Q2]

Robbie Williams. No, I am not gay, the wife wanted to drool over him :p : He wasn't half bad if I am totally honest :)

Ever jumped out of an aeroplane?

[Captain VXR]

I don't want to naturally select myself yet, so no

Ever spent time in jail?

[slinkster]

Nope.

What is your best physical feature?

[52Paddy]

Maybe I could send you a picture, then you could tell me. We could hook up, maybe for a drink ;) But, in all seriousness, I get most compliments on my smile, eyes and hair!

How many hours a night do you sleep, on average?

[slinkster]

Maybe I could send you a picture, then you could tell me. We could hook up, maybe for a drink ;) But, in all seriousness, I get most compliments on my smile, eyes and hair!


Hehehe! Smooth!

To answer your question... not many sadly. I don't sleep well at all and I think my body has adjusted to it. I probably get about 4-5 hours sleep a night on average.

Do you wear glasses?

[52Paddy]

You know, I reckon I have a remedy that could help you sleep better. It's called the Cummins concoction and, if you visit Ireland, you could sample it first hand, from me personally ;)

Ok, I should probably stop this. Yes, yes I do wear glasses. And I've no desire to wear contacts or get laser eye surgery either!

Are you an interesting person to talk to?

[slinkster]

I don't think I'm boring ... And I do like to talk about random stuff ... so I would hope so. But it all depends on who I'm talking with I guess!

Do you like Spiders?

[CarlMetro]

They're ok, I can deal with them but I wouldn't say we'll become friends.

Is there anything more boring than the first day of Test Cricket Match?

[slinkster]

Maybe golf?

What was the last dream you can remember having? (keep it brief and clean! :p )

[steveaki13]

Don't know why, but I was looking around my next door neighbours house with a view to buying it. He only has a semi detached, but it had hundreds of rooms inside (A bit like Dr. Whos Phone Box)

I then began to maintain the garden despite not owning it. Don't understand it or think its very interesting but that was the last.

Is there anything better than the first day of a test match? ;)

(I love Cricket)

[Koz]

Watching paint dry :p

What car / cars do you own / drive?

[52Paddy]

Are you good at fixing cars?

[555-04Q2]

Kind of. General repairs no problem but new cars are becoming increasingly hard to work on without a million bucks worth of computerised diagnostics equipment :(

Have you ever seen a volcano erupt in real life?

[Captain VXR]

Sadly not

Do you listen to a lot of British music?

[52Paddy]

You need to be a bit more specific as to what you class as "British" music but I'll attempt an answer. Yes. And, by that I refer to: John Martyn, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, The Verve, Blur, Oasis and Morris Dancing Tunes. My reason for selection was because the first two are British singer/songwriters (well, Scottish and English respectively), Fairport Convention are sometimes considered 'English Folk Rock', the next three fall into a genre regularly called 'Brit-Pop' and the final choice is none other than your favoured festive music. Some of those tunes are quite nice if you can appreciate them from a deep traditional background.

Is my answer, above, justified?

[CarlMetro]

No :p

Why do it rain when you don't want it to?

[Captain VXR]

Because there's no God to make the weather perfect

[555-04Q2]

Once, when I was 5 years old, I nicked a small sweet worth about 5 cents from the local shop and even at 5 years old I felt guilt about it for a long time. My family was poor back then. When I got my first paycheck at the age of 18, I went back to the same shop and gave the same shop owner 10 bucks. He wanted to know what it was for and I wouldn't tell him, but I felt a hell of a lot better about myself, even though I was only a small kid when I did it. Never stolen anything again, have no need to!

Ever woken up next to strange chick/guy and thought, who the hell is this!

[Captain VXR]

Chick - sadly not. Guy - thankfully not.

What should be done to chavs caught looting?

[CarlMetro]

I like the idea of making them do like chain gang community service with them all wearing pink overalls. Make them repair the communities they went out and destroyed and see how big they look in front of all their homies. Failing that, I hear the taliban are looking for live ammo targets in Afghanistan.......

[slinkster]

What are you asking me for, not a clue.

Can anyone be bothered to Google Rick Perry?

[steveaki13]

Yes

Would you like to see a photo of Rick Perry?

Are you a morning person?

[slinkster]

I don't sleep too well either, so a lie in for me is about 9.00am. I don't mind morning too much... I think I'd be an early bird AND night owl if possible. I've adapted. :)

Do you shower in the morning or just get up and go?

[52Paddy]

Depends. I like to shower in the morning but, because I work as a bike courier, it makes more sense to wash all the sweat and dirt from a day's work off me in the evening. However, on weekends, I would shower in the morning, unless I'm working on the car or the pushbike whereby I would be full of oil and shower afterwards. And a lot of the time, I just shower every 2 days :p :

What would you do if you found a wallet/purse containing a significant amount of cash along with the owner's ID?

[555-04Q2]

I have more than enough of my own money so I wouldn't take the cash. And in this country, you can't take it to the cops cause they would steal the cash and toss the wallet away. So I would try and trace the owner from their ID and return it unmolested. Someone did this for me about 10 years ago and I was like, WOW thanks boet!

"old school/natural methods"...? I assume you're referring to hoeopathic treatment? That's a scam.
I prefer to take my meds in pill-form rather than eating a pound of tree bark.

Are you travelling anywhere during the Christmas holidays?

I wasn't really referring to that. I guess I was saying that if, for example, you had a sore throat, would you be inclined to (a) buy some relevant medicine from a pharmacy or (b) take some honey and gargle some salt-water?

To answer your question: I'm not going away during the holidays but I am just back from a few days in Amsterdam so that constitutes a holiday for me :)

Rarely, although on occassion I've been known to enjoy an evening dram of malt, but alas typically not the Irish variety Paddy ;)

[52Paddy]

Yes but I'm trying to break that habit. This bloody internet has me awake into the small hours most nights (no jokes please!).

Neither, I'm a face to face person. Hate talking on the phone, it's just so impersonal. Texting is for people who just can't be bothered :p :

What is your weekend gonna be like?
