    Ok, ok, ok ... in atonement for the Noclight threads slipping my mind, and because I may as well throw myself to the lions before the September chaos hits ... here goes!

    Ask!!! :p

    Be warned, though, you may not always get a serious answer!

    Actually, being me, I suppose the warning should be: you may actually get a serious answer at times, and may live to regret it!! SeriousRandy doesn't emerge that often, but when he does, he can tend to be tl;dr! :o

    "Death by wall of text" as Squigloo would put it! :D

    Cuffs or collars? :p

    Seriously, I couldn't give a damn.

    I have a couple of gin redhead friends who I'm always slagging, but the truth is I wouldn't see the colour of someone's hair as being in any way relevant, and even on a physical / subconscious level it doesn't seem to make the slightest difference to me; Junior salutes them all! :cool:
    2. Favorite book?
    Oh, lord! I'll go with Lord of the Rings, because I discovered it at ~ 11 and loved it, and keep re-reading it at intervals, but in truth it has a lot to do with the day and my humour.
    3. Favorite food?
    Bacon and (homegrown) cabbage and potatoes, with a good dash of butter and a pint of cold milk, on a hot summer's day (if we ever see the like again! :rolleyes:)

    Yes, I'm a culchie! :p

    Dining out food? Italian or chinese, or steak if they know how to cook it properly!! :mad:

    Which way will you be voting and why?
    Lisbon is basically a house-cleaning exercise, an attempt to rationalise in some small way the bureaucratic nightmare which the EU has become.

    Lots of paranoid people around the last time, but tbh I think a large percentage of those who voted "no" did so either because they didn't understand it or they wanted to give the govt. a toe up the hole for taking them for granted.

    In fairness to the govt. (:rolleyes:) it's not a treaty which is especially shexy or easy to get out there ... it really is mainly a tidying exercise.

    I spent a full night before the last referendum listening to a fairly senior civil servant and an SC argue it out, and being the two of them they found plenty to argue about ... but the argument was all about minutiae, neither could see why anyone would vote no overall.

    I will be voting yes.
    If you could switch places with one noc forum regular for a day who would it be?
    Heh, interesting question!

    Well, like a lot of men, I wouldn't mind swopping bodies with a wimmen for a day, and exploring ... :cool:

    But if you mean in an actual physically possible sense, probably Kharn ... spend the day picking DeV and Co's brains (and probably getting myself into all sorts of arguments!! :pac:)

    Was sure I had told ye lot this before, but anyways!

    Derives from when I was in college in Galway, a gang of us were out one night, including myself and the then gf, two or three other couples, maybe about 12-14 in all.

    Anyway, one of the lads got caught by his gf glancing at a rather busty-and-proud-of-it young lady passing by, and ofc she started to tease him about it (just in fun, in fairness the same lad wasn't a wanderer and she knew it, just his eye got caught by a fairly obvious display).

    Anyway, the slagging escalated, and the rest of us "taken" lads started ogling every decent looking girl that passed, and the women were telling us off mar dhea. Anyway, we headed back to the house at the end of the night with a fairly large gang in tow, and the eejiting was still going on, until my (by now half-pished plus) gf launches into a mock-tirade about our ungentlemanly behaviour. And giving the alcomaholic consumption she was in good voice (and she was well able to talk at the best of times, we both debated for the college among other things which would tend to practice the vocal chords!! :pac:)

    Anyway, in the middle of it all, having demolished our characters as a group, and started on us individually (and quite wittily, it has to be said) it got to be my turn for the grill. Whatever inspired her, I don't know (though I'm hoping it was 100% Freudian! :pac:) but she begins with the immortal phrase: "... and as for Randy Longhorn over there ..." and she was about to continue, fairly much oblivious, when everyone started to bust their holes laughing!

    It just slipped out so easily and without premeditation, I think that was a lot of what was so funny!

    Now, I took a bow, of course, when I could stop laughing! ... and thought that was the end of it.

    But it stuck like glue among our own set! And there are still a few people around the place who are as likely to address me as Randy as by my given name ... and I mean leaving out Boardsies! :p

    In fact, not too long ago, I was at a meeting with some senior enough people from several of the colleges, and some others, including a lad who would have been on the fringes of that group. Meeting was interesting, and people were into it, and the debate was going back and forth. In the middle of it all, yer man jumps in with "Actually, I agree with Randy because .... blah blah".

    :facepalm:

    Cue some very puzzled looks, apart from one old former prof. of mine, who nearly swallowed his knuckles trying to keep a straight face! :pac:

    I kind of like it as a nick tbh, mainly because it just begs for people to take the mickey :pac: ... but also because I was and am quite fond of she-who-dubbed-me-Sir-Randy!! :p:D

    Is there a song that could be said to depict the Randy way of life?

    All of them, or at least if they're well-written.

    You know what they say about reading helps you relax and go to sleep?

    With me, that translates into "read and you might go to sleep once you've finished the book" :rolleyes:
