In your opinion, do May/December (older partner with much younger partner) romances ever work?
Yes, I’ve seen them work. I’ve had one myself! Obviously that didn’t work.

What physical action or gesture do you find romantic?
That thing where she              and        and then he             . Spicy stuff!

What is your idea of a romantic dinner?
A nice picnic in a pleasant spot.

Is ‘love’ a real ‘thing’ or merely a physical chemical response and brain activity pulling our emotional strings?
Everything is governed by chemicals in the body and brain (including our emotional strings), but does it really matter? Love is… 🙂

If the government offered to suspend all laws, and law enforcement for 24 hours, letting you (and everybody else) do whatever you wish… Would you be in favour of it, or not?
Oh, for sure. I definitely want to get shivved in the kidneys by someone who thinks it would be “a bit of a laugh” or ploughed down by someone doing 120mph through the village. Sounds awesome!

What would be the creepiest thing you could say while passing a stranger on the street?
“You look so peaceful while you’re sleeping.” But I wouldn’t say that, I would say “hello” because I’m not a psychopath. OR AM I…?

As a child, what did you think would be great about being an adult, but isn’t as great as you thought it would be?
I can’t really think of anything. Most of the stuff I thought would be great is at least not too bad. Downside stuff, like keeping on top of “home admin” – bills and such – I didn’t really think about as a child. I definitely don’t remember thinking stuff like “I can’t wait to grow up and organise home and contents insurance, it’ll be great!”

What, in your opinion, has been blown way out of proportion?
No idea. I can’t think of anything major happening right now that’s been exaggerated. A lot of stuff doesn’t need blowing up any more, it’s already pretty bad 😦

Is it necessary to trust someone you like? (friends, acquaintances or co-workers with whom you have no familial ties)
No. I like lots of people but don’t necessarily trust them all. It’s a good idea to trust close friends. I trust work colleagues with work stuff but wouldn’t necessarily trust them to look after £10k worth of used non-sequential bank notes “until the heat dies down”.

Do you hold grudges? What do you do when someone really irritates you?
It depends on how much they irritate me. I think I’ve mentioned my “acquaintance” before? The one who “makes it look like an accident”?

What’s the most sensible thing you’ve heard someone say?
Hmm. If it’s “sensible” rather than “philosophical” or “mind blowing” it was probably something boring. Like “don’t play in the road” or “don’t touch that, it’s hot”.

Is crying a sign of weakness or strength in adults?
It depends what I’m crying about. Did I say “I”? I meant people in general. Not me at all. I’m a real hard ass, me.

Why do we dream?
Are they dreams? Or are they a separate reality? Are they the only reality? Am I dreaming now…?

(Dum dum DUMMMMM)

Do you think a person’s name influences the person they become?
No. Although my neighbour from up the street, Arsehole Divvybrain, is a right divvy brain. And he can be a bit of an arsehole on occasion.

I expect that’s just a coincidence, though.

Does hardship make a person stronger?
Not me. Hardship makes me pissed off.

Why do we judge ourselves by our intentions, but judge others by their actions?
We can’t know others’ intentions. I always know what I intend, though, for good or… evil bwahahahaha.

What should you get rid of, that would make your new year better, and why?
Ooh, that annoying chap from up the road. It’s all in hand, though, I just need to scrape together “30 large” and the chummy I found on the internet said he’ll make it “look like an accident”.

No, wait, I can’t write that on here, this is a public website. Excess weight, that’s what I need to get rid of. Yes. Excess weight.

What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done?
Ha, I’d rather not say. I was young once 😉

Does your family have a “motto” – spoken or unspoken?
No. Not that I’m aware of.

On a scale of 1-10 how funny would you say you are?
Aw, man, I can’t answer that. It’s like those self-assessment performance reviews some companies force you to do. How do you paint yourself in the best light possible while maintaining a sense of humility and modesty?
