    If you thought you had half a chance to make it work, would you quit "reality" and become a full time artist?

    If you could deliver a story in any medium (money/resources/staff no object) what would you choose and what sort of story would it be? e.g. one off sketch or TV series etc...

    If you could arrange for one person to not have ever existed, who would it be and why? What would you think would be the implications of that person never having had existed?

    Damn those are tough questions!

    Fave scene -



    From the point the music starts to the point where the bad guy gets killed. Truly epic. The piece of music is emotive enough by itself to elevate the scene into legendary status, even just hearing it stirs all sorts of things within me, then you've got the young Mohican taking on a whole war party for the woman he's grown to love over the course of the movie. It's not gonna be all fairytale ending, far from it. But just so the audience isn't left on a low, his Dad goes and schools the remainder and gets revenge, and the final battle is so one-sided it's beautiful, it's like "you're nothing but a dog, so die like one" kinda vibe. You're left with sadness, but also a sense that there's goodness and honour in the world, that heroes exist etc. Scenery is also quite breath taking, and the fight scenes are no nonsense. Top bit.

    TV Show? Hmmm... I can't but love South Park. It's completely my sense of humour, it pokes fun at everything, which I do, and when it comes to social commentary it's top notch. I'm always a bit disappointed when people just assume it's a show that gets cheap laughs from kids cursing, sure that was a big part of it in the first few episodes, but it's grown way beyond that. I can't really think of another show that's gone on so long and delivered such consistent laughs without either being stopped at it's peak (love Spaced, Extras etc, but there's not enough of them to get the top spot) or left go on too long (Scrubs is painfully unfunny now, Simpsons is a ghost of itself etc.) I'm sure there are some shows that I used to love, was always a big fan of Buffy, DS9 etc, but for some reason South Park is just speaking to me tonight.

    Song - Ok, this is the toughest. It all depends on mood etc, but two songs that I love the expression behind...

    Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips

    Probably the band I've seen live the most amount of times. There's something nearly spiritual about seeing this song performed, and there's always bright lights and confetti explosions and it feels like the whole world just sparkles whenever they play it. Also, when it comes to chemistry, I know there's a spark when I have the urge to tell a girl "do you realize, you have the most beautiful face" I've never actually said it to a girl, but it goes off in my head like alarm bells :o


    All of My Heart - ABC

    As a songwriter, it always stops me dead whenever someone expresses something in a way that resonates so perfectly that I can't imagine expressing it better. Unrequited love for a friend? This song right here. Plus it's 80s tastic!




    Holiday - I went to South Africa with my rugby team, many moons ago at this stage. It was amazing really, every day of it was worth remembering. I've had so many great holidays with my best buds etc. but while we were tour I think the whole team got on great. We played our rugby, visited a township, did all the African cultural stuff, went out to Robben Island, went on a lil safari, and got to really see life in the country in a way I don't think you can achieve by just being a tourist. We'd play a match against a team and then hang out with them for the day/night, having the craic, and getting to know them. There's a certain bond created when you face-off against a guy and then buy him a beer afterwards, it was just really nice getting to know the culture. Plus it was epic fun in a stereotypical rugby team on tour kinda way, normally I wouldn't be down for rowdiness etc, but yeah, great times.

    Favourite Sporting Moment - Winning the grand slam a few years back, just when Wales missed the kick. I was living in Germany at the time and people barely knew what rugby was, but for the small amount of Irish that were in that bar... ah, it was such a surge of national pride, kinda need something like that now.

    Have you ever blacked out from drinking?

    I think I joined boards when I started college, must be 10 years ago at this stage. Actually, I may have joined it before that but saw no purpose to it, but I got hooked on bitching about the university I attended :D

    I have a lot of memories of playing on the floor in my living room, but they've kinda all amalgamated. Oh ok, I think I have one... when my sister was born! I would have been three at the time. I remember visiting my mother in hospital and saying hello to my little sister. And she brought me a present of walkie talkies in the shape of robots. I remember being disappointed that they weren't actually Transformers, but then soon got over that when I figured out I could have walkie-talkie fun. To this day I've never asked how she managed to purchase such things while in my mother's womb... this being before the invention of smart phones.

    Nope, I don't. Until something happens to make me believe otherwise. And the thing is, I've an insanely active imagination, I could be walking home late at night with not another soul awake and I'd picture a werewolf stalking across the carpark after me, but, even though I'd give myself the heebeejeebees, I'd still know that was just my imagination. I got major street cred back in my cub scout days when I walked through this apparently super haunted place on my own because the ghost walk had left without me. :)

    Favourite thread on boards? Hmmm... I really enjoy the tournament threads, LZ's ones were epic back in the day and Galva's current one seems to be a return to form, but I guess for passive enjoyment it's gotsta be Nocturnal Nerds, people post such fantastically clever pictures there.

    I suppose Facebook is probably the website I use most, and through it I access other websites when people post links. :)

    Bad habits... hmmm... depends what you call bad habits, there are things I do that annoy me, yet other people think they're great and vice versa. For instance I hate the fact that I have too many creative projects on the go, I can't focus on one, so at the moment I have a chapter left to write in my second novel, but instead of just writing it I've begun writing short stories that tie in with my trilogy and I've started recording an album... but oh oh oh, no, when I actually go to record my album I'll fecking start designing a website or something. That annoys me, yet a co-worker thinks it's great that I'm juggling so many balls at once.
    I procrastinate a fair bit, that's a pretty bad habit. Oh, I mumble a lot, that's certainly a bad habit, I never really realised I did it and then when I found out it seems that most of the people I knew just kinda smiled and nodded when they didn't understand me. ugh.

    Biggest regret - When I was 15 I made friends with this girl online. This was before Facebook etc, so it was just chatting on some chat site. Actually it was a site me and my friends used to go onto to slag Westlife fans (it was Sligochat.ie or something like that) anyhows, started chatting to this girl and we got on great. Then we'd be chatting on MSN, then we became pen pals with letters etc. She lived in England and we were too young to plan any major adventures, so that's how it stayed. Really got on with her better than most people I've known in my life. Anyhows, I found out she was telling people she had a boyfriend... me... and I didn't react very well. It just struck me as weird that she'd turn people down in real life because she had an online friend, and I was immature as most teenage boys are and I just started ignoring her etc. Which was really mean. So she disappeared out of my life. Years later I apologized fully, but I guess she'd cut me out of her life by then. Added her on Facebook last year, she's gotten on with her life and seems to be in an awesome relationship, which is good, but we never really speak anymore, and I genuinely regret the pain I caused her all those years ago. That's probably one of my very very few lasting regrets in life.

    Virginity - I think it was 19 or 20. I remember exactly how it happened, and with who, and where, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly when. Summer time I'm feeling... I'm sure I could dig up old diaries and find the exact date, and thus my age, but sure 19/20 is pretty similar.

    What would I most life to do? Hmmm... I'd probably educate all the idiots living in Ireland to stop the creation of further idiots. It's gotten to the stage where there are so many stupid skangers that it feels like we're at tipping point. If there was a better system in place to go "actually, spitting into someone's face is not an acceptable way to argue" wow, that'd be great. I'm by no means saying "I wish we lived in an island of intellectuals" because I don't have any notions of myself discussing the finer points of Chomsky's latest theory etc., I just wish there were less skangers. If guidance is impossible I guess I wouldn't be opposed to genocide.

    Euromillions! If I won the lotto I'd give most of it away anyway, so the Euromillions would just mean I'd have more to give away.

    Blacked out? Probably. Or, well, yeah I'm sure I have, though in a quickly falling asleep way, I don't think I've ever had a dramatic collapse and unconscious vibe goin' on.


    Damn, I'm really typing way too much for these answers.

    Have you finished editing the podcast yet?

    Because I think she's a funny character and I also think it's a bit odd that you keep putting a version of yourself into all the tournaments. It's also more of a challenge getting her to win :)

    Observation.

    Yeah, podcast imploded. The food section had a recording mishap where it only recorded Rose, so that didn't work, then Pter's Nerin&Kharn bit didn't happen and neither did the random chat bit. In the end the only actual piece of audio we had was the comic book chat we had and that wasn't enough on it's own. I'd love to get another one up and running, but I think a software check and clear timeline is needed.

    I definitely would. I was prepared to drop my life here and move abroad with the band but the other lads weren't ready to make the leap and then I found myself in a decent job and that kinda fizzled out. I dropped out of engineering and did a lot of soul searching and realised I always loved to write, so doing a degree in journalism was more about keeping my brain active while I wrote books than it was about actually wanting to be a journalist. Currently waiting on feedback from publishers, if there was even a hint of positivity I'd be prepared to pack everything in and commit myself full time, even if it meant doing without pretty things :)

    I think I'd deliver it as a TV series. I like the episodic nature of TV and the way you can use the gap between episodes as a really effective tool. In my head I'm thinking "I'd love my books to be made into a TV series", but, putting such self indulgent ideas aside, His Dark Materials, Abhorsen Trilogy and some of Neil Gaiman's books definitely deserve a "money is no object" treatment.

    I'd probably eliminate *holds breath for a moment* Jesus. If only for a "what would have happened" curiosity. Taking into account my previous statement of not believe in the supernatural etc. ... hmm... eh... I'm just curious to see if he was a prophet who was in the right place at the right time, or was he a unique entity?
    Were all the prophets who followed imitators or would they have happened anyway? What would the world look like now? Would there be more or less wars... was the power of the Catholic Church somewhat of a stabilizing element or did it act as a sort of world power allowing for greater slaughter? Would there be any super religion if the Roman Empire hadn't embraced Christianity? Would we all currently be still pagan? Would the lack of Christianity help or hinder the progress of humanity in terms of science and culture? How much of our concept of common decency is informed by the church and would we all just be killing each other etc? What shape would the modern world be in now?
    Really I think he's one historical figure that would change the world the most, and if his absence didn't drastically change the world, well, that'd be another question answered too. :)

    Now I'm off to burn in hell.

    Who's your favourite bass player?

    It's a guy whose name I can never remember. He played loads of bass on stuff put out by Motown records, so think Jackson Five etc. Unbelievably good bass lines, but he was a session musician so douche bags like me never remember his name, but damn he had a way with a groove.

    Do you still eat your chips with white sauce instead of ketchup?! And does it taste as rank as it looks? :p ooh, and what's your middle name?

    You seem to have me at a disadvantage of knowing who I am.

    If I was in Germany (or anywhere on the continent with the good sense to serve mayo with their fries) I would, but the mayo they have for chips is tastier than your regular Hellmans that you'd spread on a sangich here. These days I normally mix tomato ketchup and mayo on my plate to make an odd pink sauce of tastiness. And no, it's not rank, it's yummy!

    My middle name is Emil.

    That's a tough one, I don't actually know the names of the people who produce the sounds I have in my head. I'm sure I could kick some google into action.

    On bass it'd be that Motown session lad, but also yer one from The Talking Heads (that's right, two bass players.)

    On drums I'd probably have Moon the loon, he seems to have more diversity than Bonham, though there are two many groovy drummers out there, it'd certainly be someone from the 70s anyhows :D

    Vocals... I'd bust in a full grouping like The Temptations.

    Guitar is a tricky beast... we're going down a certain line here and all the guitar legends are more rock based. Throw Pete Townshend into the mix. Nice. Rhythm I'd have Keith Richards maybe.

    Keys... hmmm... would have to have keys. I'd probably ship in David Byrne, dunno if he even plays the keys, but damn he has a way with a melody.

    I dunno what I'm going for here... I guess if you can picture it being danced to on Soul Train then I'd be content. :)

    Toes - yes. A rugby coach one made an out of character remark to the lads about women loving their toes to be played with. Most of the time it's good advice :pac:

    Yeah. Such things amuse meh :D

    I'm sure I have. I'm tempted to do it today :P

    A hairdryer? No, that's crazy talk, the only way for a long lasting heat is to warm them up slowly, and while they're warming up you have to pretend that you're sheltering from a storm in a cave. :)

    My fave subway sandwich is a Tropical Sub. Mild curried chicken, pineapple, melted cheese, curry sauce, everything except olives and jalapenos. On Italian herbs and cheese. :)

    Both biscuits need a good dunking in tea.

    Nope, never saw the need and would be afraid of them growing back like crazah.

    Back sack and crack eh? Sure, why not. Without pain how would we know pleasure?

    Chewing gum. Though those lil smint things are good too.

    I do I do-oo-oo

    5 creative folk that you admire, and why.

    With writing - I generally avoid reading anything similar to my own subject matter, so since my books are all werewolves and vampires etc, I avoid reading all such books. A class mate once guffawed and said "how can you hope to write about vampires when you haven't even read any of Ann Rice's novels?!" and my answer was "how could I expect to write my novel if I had?". Certain books can paralyze me completely, like after reading Neil Gaiman's American Gods I just couldn't imagine ever writing something so brilliant. Currently reading those Song of Ice & Fire books and very good at getting an aul insight in how to play with human nature.

    Music - If I ever have a creative lull I'll just go out to some music club in Dublin and watch live music. Generally it's painfully generic and that fills me with a "I can do better" motivation. I'm very good at realising when it feels like I'm stealing a music idea, and then I just won't do it, so I've no problem listening to a load of music for inspiration, and a lot of my stuff has come from me writing another part to someone else's song and then working on it, so in the end it'll sound nothing like the original. Usually it's just a rhythm that makes me sing my own lil melody and words and I have a eureka moment.

    5 folk...

    Neil Gaiman - Because I don't know any other author who blows my mind so frequently.

    David Bowie - The man has so many wonderful reinventions of himself and is still a cultural icon, and he's kept some dignity in his old age.

    Raymond Feist - How many series has the man produced at this stage, I mean he's a damn writing machine. It must have nearly killed him just to get Magician finished, never mind the trilogy or the 2nd trilogy or the 3rd.. and is that a 4th he's working on!?

    Terry Pratchett - Damn the man delivers consistently good novels in his very own style.

    Alan Moore - For making some damn fine graphic novels.

    Would you shift your boss for a raise? (I'm talkin' wages you smutty smutterson)

    How do you like your eggs in the morning?

    Ever dyed your hair?

    How do you get rid of the smell of skunk?

    Would you rather go on the p1ss with Jack Black or Dave Grohl?

    I can't remember. I know it was something unimportant but it turned into a fun time social experiment. It was either posted in the wrong forum or posted using the wrong username. Something silly like that.

    Depends how much of a raise really. I've done worse things for dares.

    Dunno really, I'm sure there are great ways I've never sampled. Eggs benedict sounds good, though I've never had it. Hard to beat a soft boiled egg with toasted soldiers with real butter... dip and nyom :)

    Yeah, I've dyed it a few times. Once it was blonde. Once it was that surfer kinda blonde highlights style.

    Apparently the key is to act fast. The sooner you clean the target zone the better. Use something like vinegar or citrus stuff to cut through the natural skunk oil.

    Tough call, I'd say there's a high chance that they're both weiners in person. I'd choose Jack black, at least if he irritated me I could beat on him for making Tenacious D muck, plus he might actually still have some genuine humour in him. With Grohl I'd be reduced to asking why his music production has been slowly slipping for so long. Or I'd ask him about Kurt Cobain and Josh Homme. It's actually a tough call between the two. I think Jack Black has more potential for being really great or really annoying, whereas Dave might just be meh.

    Conspiracy >.<

    Crunchy or smooth peanut butter?

    You've just scored a girl, you wake up in the morning, she goes into the bathroom to powder her nose and you notice her passport lying on the floor. SHE'S 16!!! What do you do?

    Who would you rather have narrate your life, Dave Lamb or Morgan Freeman?

    Do you ever talk to yourself?

    Would you shave your head for charity?

    You've been forced to make a bucket list: name 5 things you'd put on it?

    Watcha doooooin'?

    Really depends on what I'm using it for. At the moment it's that new organic stuff that's being advertised on TV. It was either that or Panda... so at the moment it's super chunky, I think this stuff even has the skins in there for good measure. It's the kind of peanut butter that you eat and it sticks to your whole mouth and you need milk. STAT!

    Ok... I'll take it that score means smooching (though I'm worried at her staying the night if we're just smoochin'.) Obviously she didn't look 16 or I wouldn't have scored her, so I wouldn't feel too bad, but I'd also be pretty sure to get rid of her as soon as possible but in the nicest way possible. The last thing you need is a puppy dog crush or an angry scorned teenager.

    I had to google David Lamb... does he do Come Dine With Me? Either way, regardless of who he is I reckon I'd have to go for Morgan, he'd make everything classy, even it was just me taking my penguin for a walk.

    I talk to myself all the time.

    If it was a good charity, then yeah, probably, but the hair is constantly getting shorter anyhows, it's no longer down to my shoulders and impressive, now it's probably just a year or two away from unavoidably bald :p

    Bucket List...

    Publish a book
    Fall in love
    Father a child
    Compile everything I've ever written
    Make a detailed and awesome Will.

    I'm currently cooking food for the next few days. I'm in an oddly motivated mood at the mo, so I've already cooked a massive pot of soup and I'm now marinating a load of chicken for lunches. :)

    Note: Some of these may not be mine but ye can feicin well answer them anyway! :p

    Do you have an innie or an outie?

    What's the meanest thing you have ever said to some one?

    Ever worn make up?

    Is there any food you absolutely hate?

    What the most annoying thing someone can do in your presence?

    Do you always wash your hands after doing a pee-pee...EVERY time?

    Name a celebrity crush you wouldn't want folks knowing about?

    Did you ever google blue waffle or lemon party after a friend advised you too?

    Did you then smack that friend round the head?

    If you could go back and relive any decade in life...which would it be and why?

    Ever dyed your hair?

    Do you still own any teddy bears and keep them in your room?

    Ever attempt to try and smell your own toes?

    Is Rolf Harris a genuinely nice slightly eccentric man or an evil psycopath in disguise?

    Innie.

    I can't remember saying anything mean, but I've definitely done mean stuff. I haven't done anything genuinely mean in quite a long time, despite the claims.

    I'm sure I have, certainly for random stuff on stage, for Halloween, I'm sure I've had flowers drawn on my face for festivals and stuff. Yeah.

    I'm quite tactile with my food dislikes, so, anything slimey or wiggly is probably a no go. Jelly yes, octopus no.

    Heh, I'm sure I could saying lying etc, but, I really dislike people looking over my shoulder, especially if it involves telling me how to do something on a computer. Y'know those saps that'd be like "cancel the program, press the X in the corner, look right there" and all the while you're thinking "yes, I do know how to do basic windows operations, you annoying ****TARD!"

    Yup every time. There's no reason not to, and many reasons to.

    I think my celebrity crushes are all pretty acceptable. Zooey Deschanel, Maggie Gyllenhal (ok, so nowadays she's a bit of a skeleton, but she used to be amazing). I think the only one that people might be outraged at is that Vogue girl from Fade Street. She was getting so much abuse for being a man, but the girl was the only one who came away from that show without looking like a complete knob and she has legs that stretch up to infinity. I assumed she was super tall, but she's not even 6ft, so it's obviously an optical illusion, but anyhows, yes, I know some people say she's a man, but she's hot. Though certainly not one of my faves. :)

    No, I never googled it. I assume it's some sort of infected vagina or something. Same with two girls one cup... never really bothered.

    Nope. Violence is bad, m'kay.

    Live any decade in my life, or, life in general? Jeez I'm not that old. I guess I'd go back to the 60s, live it up as a hippy and enjoy the awesome music... and then wait for the even more awesome music of the early 70s :D

    Answered above.

    I think there are some back in my parents house. I'm a fan of talking to myself, but it's less crazy to do it to a bear :P Though I think at this stage I've sent most of my bears to infiltrate my sister's collection. :)

    Yeah probably. I generally go through life like one of those aliens who's just landed on the planet, I'm all about touching stuff and smelling stuff and taking things apart to see how they work etc.

    I imagine he's genuinely nice. He's been in the game too long to be a fake and he does seem to really enjoy his path.

    if you were a super-powered crime fighter, what would your codename be and what powers would you have?

    are you a disciplined writer or do you just write as you please?

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    I'd be the mudatruckin' Juggernaut, biiiiiiiitch! :)

    I'm disciplined in someways, bold in others. I used to have at least three projects on the go at the one time, which meant I never actually got anything finished. The disicipline I found was to just focus on one book, and even if I didn't feel like writing it I'd force myself to just look at it, even if my head was swimming with ideas for something else.

    What colour of skittles do you like the most?

    Ever farted during sexytimes?

    Best Christmas present you ever got?

    What would you like your last meal and drink in life to be?

    Last time you cried?

    Would you rather lose an arm or leg?

    If you could hop on a plane and go anywhere in the world right now....were would you like to go and why?

    Ever drop a phone down the loo or anything down the loo other than...poo? :pac:

    Describe yourself in 4 words

    Pick 10 people from the Nocturnal Forum and give them each a superpower of some sort and say why

    Ninjas or pirates......which is cooler?

    Tough one. Red or green. Probably red.

    I'm sure I have yes, I certainly have memories of trying to hold one in during sexytimes, which is a bit like coming to a fork in a road and trying to go left and right at the same time.

    Black Knight's Lego Castle. Twas epic!

    Last drink would probably contain elder flower... last meal would be an amazing steak, with amazing onion rings, and loads of exciting roast veg, and and and... this question is too hard. Dessert would be a selection of delicious Italian icecream.

    Can't remember the last time I cried. I went to a stage a few years back of never crying, I thought I was an emotional robot, now it's come full circle where I feel teary eyed whenever music is played at an emotional event. Nearly cried on Easter Sunday at the 1916 Rising commemoration, surge of national pride and stuff.

    I'd rather lose a leg. Prosthetics have come a long way, so that wouldn't be too bad, but I'm pretty sure nothing yet can compare to fingers, and I use those guys for an awful lot o' things.

    I'd fly to Sydney because one of my best buds lives there, and it'd give me a life time of slagging rights over another friend who has been going over for nearly a year now but still hasn't taken the leap.

    I'm sure I have. I certainly have the memory of busting out the rubber gloves. Don't think it was a phone though, I don't have the memory of going "ewww I have to put it to my face".

    Relaxed, nice, weird, surprising

    - Nocs With Powah! -

    ToniTuddle - Ability to draw anyone into a hug, like a magnet! Once in the hug they think everything is right in the world, even if Tuddle is planning to push them off the cliff.

    Mags - He'd be like Taskmaster, but wittier. Not only can he mimic movement, he can also adapt his line of slagging and perfect it for each opponent.

    Boomkat - She'd be like that girl out of Monsters vs Aliens, the growy one, so she can justifiably give out about not finding clothes that fit due to height. Even when she's 50ft tall, Mags still makes jokes about her needing a babysitter.

    Jokettle - She'd have super double doctor powers... I believe I'm slowly highlighting them quite well in my comics. They're generally along the lines of brain control and super diagnostic ability. Rarely wrong.

    Rose - would be able to commune with the birds, use eyes of the eagle, ears of the owl (they've good hearing right?) etc. And she'd have a giant eagle to carry her into battle. And she wouldn't get migraines.

    Koth - Would be known as Mr. Friday and be a bit like Wednesday from American Gods, he'd be able to influence luck, make suggestions in people's minds and ultimately be Odin. Also Fridays wouldn't happen without him.

    Solitaire - Would be like Forge or um, that character who's escaping me right now, he'd be a master tactician and could look at an opponent and gauge their power, weak spots etc.

    Honda Sam - Would be this dude in racing leathers who's an expert on vehicles etc and is all guns blazing blow ****-up crazah! It's a big reveal when she takes off her helmet halfway through the series and we realise she's a girl and the boys all suddenly fancy her, except for the guy who thought of her as a brother, and now feels betrayed.

    KotE - Would be a bit like Gambit, maybe not in terms of powers, but he'd be a master thief that gets by on his charm and nice guy vibe. :) Oh, maybe he has a glamour! Oh, that could be a good power.

    BZ - Would be this awesome dark sorcerer dude, I'm imagining him wielding a massive two-handed sword for most of the time, which magically disappears inside his long jacket, and that's also a power, he has like a dark dimension in there (can't remember who actually has that power.) But he's more kick-ass first, resort to magic tricks later.

    LZ - Has the power to change from male to female instantly. His male self can roll up into a canonball type shape and cause havok, and is near-invulnerable in this mode, and unstoppable unless he uncurls himself. His female version is extremely hot, all the better to bewitch guards, and she also has the strength of 5 men.

    Kharn - Kharn is quite like Slaine (or is it Finn? The ye olde one) from 2000ad fame, wielding a double edged battle axe, but not only is he in touch with ye olde nature magic, he also has a similar ability with technology, due to a corrupted arm that was infected with nanites in order to save it. Think about a bit of a Cable vibe going on, he can't truly tap into nature without letting the nanites spread and the more he uses his tech powers the more powerful the nanites become. Etc.

    ... hmm... I could probably keep going all night but I think I'm past 10.

    Maybe your toughest question yet Tudz! I think ninjas will always stand the coolness test. Pirates are probably currently cooler, but once Pirates of the Caribbean fades away some what, we may drift back to smelly old flea bitten pirates, while ninjas are always mudafunkin' Ninjas.

    Team o' Five

    Ghostrider - With the power of hell he'd take on any evil types

    Swampthing - In case it's an environmental disaster, he'd be able to use the elements to hold it together.

    Batman - Cause he'd think of all the angles.

    Superman - Cause he keeps fighting for this silly little planet of ours.

    Cait Fairchild - Cause we all need a bit of eye candy.


    I think I have the Noc in my blood at this stage. The great thing is it changes so much. I remember feeling like an outsider looking in, then I came back and it felt like it was just me, Wolf and Deki chatting in circles, then the fightback happened, then a newer crew came in. Each season had its good bits and bad bits, but it's all the Noc :)

    [FONT=verdana,arial][SIZE=-1]A violin contains about 70 separate pieces of wood!


    I imagine you'll have to silence those who currently call you Lizzy, then put something in your sig that spells it out more clearly, like El Zee, Five by Five.

    Certainly not, I think you've got me confused with someone else. Sure... he falls for the feckin' girl in every movie!

    If you had no choice but to be one, would you choose deaf, dumb or blind?

    Have you any nice holidays planned for the summer?

    Is there something you've been wanting to say to someone for a while?

    What's the last thing you bought?

    If you could murder 5 people who are alive today without any repercussions, who would they be?

    Are you close enough to anyone to call them your brother/sister? (that isn't actually :P)

    Did you ever watch Dragonball or Dragonball Z? =D

    1. I can't think of anything that annoys me specifically to be honest. If there's bad acting or someone has a bad writing style, well, I just won't bother with it. Most of my extra-curricular activity in college was as an editor of some sort, I kinda have a knack for judging if someone is any good as a writer. Unfortunately it seemed that all the best writers were also the least motivated and academically inclined, probably the best writer in my course never bothered turning up so I was without his talent. Um, anyhows, yes, I have a spidey-sense for bad writers, and usually a few lines into a book you know when to press the eject button.

    2. I've been known to play bass, piano, accordion, guitar and various other bits, though I'm not really very good at any of them. I always consider myself stronger as a singer.

    3. Nope. Though I'll apply for my test at some point this week. My flatmate just passed and still doesn't consider himself able to drive, so I reckon I'll get over my nerves and go for it.

    4. I don't really watch anything regularly anymore. I guess Masterchef is always on for some reason, guess it's just the point of the night when I sit down in front of a TV. Used to watch loads of stuff regularly, but these days I try to avoid the TV as much as possible, it's madly unproductive, though if I had Sky Atlantic I may be tempted.

    5. It's actually my job, but, I think I'm actually less informed now than I was when I was in college. Now once I finish work I switch off, and as I'm on call some weekends I tend to completely switch off for the other weekends. I don't even read the Sunday papers anymore because it feels like work.

    I'd be dumb. I'm much better with text than I am with spoken word. It'd be an enforced strong silent type dealie. It'd kill me to never sing or hum etc, but I could still listen to the beautiful music of others and witness true beauty with my eyes :)

    No, I've none planned. I'm beginning to think work can't function without me as whenever I mention the amount of holidays I'm left to take they always say stuff like "you know you can carry them over to next year... right?" I might just take a week to go writing or something. But who knows, I can go adventurin' anywhere, plus I've tickets for a load of Rugby World Cup matches, so, that's always a bit of optimistic thinking :D

    Ah yeah, sure I've loads of things I've been wanting to say, but most of those things I've long since decided are best kept silent.

    Last thing I bought was groceries in Tesco. Nothing too exciting there, it was mostly a load of veg for my soup and chicken to pre-cook for lunches (I'm on a health buzz)


    Murder 5 people you say... I'd probably take a sweep at some of the bank heads that are now super rich but apparently above the law, the ones that show no remorse. Goodbye Seany Fitz. Wow, now that I think about it there are loads of people I'd like to kill... that's probably not a good sign. Um, let's take out Kim Jong Il, Mugabe, the leading telly evangelist in the US (whoever he is) and eh... David Mc Savage.

    Certainly some of my older guy friends I might call brother, just one or two, certainly they'd be called Uncle by my kids. Girls, well, there are a few that I can imagine myself being close enough to, but such things must be reciprocated so probably not :P


    Nope, never watched Dragonball. First I heard of it was when I was in primary school and some Spanish exchange student asked us why we weren't playing Dragonball Z in the schoolyard. None of us had a clue what he was on about. I still don't really know, other than seeing some fighting games.

    Would you get your nipples pierced and attach a chain linking them together, so your chest is smiling at the world?

    Would you rather a cuddle from Boo, or a shift from Eva Mendes?

    Are you an ass, bewbs or legs guy? (face is NOT an option)

    OAP? Well, since Helen Mirran is probably an OAP, as is Gena Davis probably... um, and if I've always dreamed of the dream job, then, yeah, sure why not. Couldn't go near some old granny though, my god no. Though, a dream job for a time that can be erased from memory... hmm... though how would you even get it up? Oh god, even worse, how would you ejaculate?! EEEk. Bold.

    I have actually dated a boardsie, quite recently in fact, but no longer.

    The biggest lie I have told? I can't remember. I try to be honest, I learned way back that even a few little lies can come back and bite you in the ass.

    Ultimate sexual fantasy? Hmm, it'd be a woman as horny and upfront as guys stereotypically are. I'm not talking about S&M or anything, but a girl who just jumps on ya rather than sitting waiting for a guy to make the first move, because I'm terrible at reading signals. In fact I think more girls have initiated kisses with me than vice versa.

    Desperate Housewives? I watched bits of the first series, but as with a lot of these American shows (Prison break, Lost, Heroes), it soon lost me after that.

    Definitely not. Well, in normal circumstances, definitely not, I'd either walk away or restrain her. If she was some nuts steroid riddled wacko, who looked more like a man than I did, then we'd see. But as a rule no, I'm usually ultra protective of females in general.

    No, I'm not into piercings on me, don't mind them on others, but I like to keep my body intact :) Plus I'd just do a Homer and paint a smile on my tummy! :D

    Damn you woman! Which one is Eva Mendez... *googles*
    Ok, so would Eva cuddle me after we kiss? I pick Eva, because I'll always have Boo on a pedestal as the king of the cute, and sometimes you shouldn't meet your heroes... what if he bit me?!

    This is tough, I like all three. :( I would always have said an boob man, but now that we're coming into Summer it's just legs and asses everywhere, so I'm torn, but then also there are suddenly boobs everywhere! I think I'll rank it boobs>legs>ass ... but it'd kill me to choose.

    Yeah, pretty sure I have. I've definitely painted by nails before, and not in a cop-out all black way, we're talking three colours per nail. It all started when a buncha girls convinced me to let them paint my nails, grand, but then they were making a mess so I took over. I am an excellent nail painter me thinks :)

    Just one.

    I'd definitely prefer to get caught. I actually heard one of my neighbors having a massive fight because his mam caught him in the act. He must have been about 25 and all I could hear was him slamming their back door and saying "it's a completely natural act! Everyone does it!" and then storms off like a teenager! Oh how I chuckled.

    I'm sure I have, I was in the scouts for years and years, though it was normally sheep ****e that you'd come across on the mountains.

    I have a few favourites. I like to sing War Pigs by Black Sabbath, it has a nice vocal progression. Build Me Up Buttercup. RESPECT. Anything by the Jackson 5. Sometimes I just beat-box in the shower. Really I can't shower without singing.

    Yeah, I'm a major fan of dancing in my room. Normally love to bust in the door from work, leave the ipod on and get my boogie on :)

    Don't think so. Well yes, I'm sure as a kid I was pushed about, but as a teen etc I was more likely to be the pusher.

    Neck is more of a safe bet, ears can be more intense but some people don't like it, also some people can't do the ear thing properly. Personally both will turn me to a mindless cloud of joy, especially the ear thing if done properly.

    Oh! Hah, I did miss it. Yes, I've done it, when the girls' parents were in the room even, or at least her best friend definitely was. I'm surely a teasin' bastard if anything.
