    Best museum you have been to?
    Ohhh... good question TBC. I've been to a fair few in all sorts of places(mostly Europe, with forays into the Americas), but I'd have to say our very own Natural History Museum in Dublin. The museum of a museum that it is. I loved it as a kid, much to the chagrin and thinning patience of my parents. :D And when I found my first fossil while fishing with my dad I brought it there and a lovely man, whose name sadly escapes, but I think he was an English lad, was very nice and enthusiastic, told me what it was(a rugose coral of lower Carboniferous origin) and just went and gave me a book on fossils of Ireland, which I still have. I remember one wood framed exhibit of an Irish pond and there was a frog under the glass representing the water surface and if you nudged the case his legs would move and he looked like he was swimming. I remember bringing my first "serious" girlfriend there and showing her that. And it impressed her and we giggled away the day after. As one does and should at that age.
    How did your interest in Watches and Timepieces spark and grow?
    My dad basically AC. He had a watch he got from an ex Stuka pilot just after WW2 and that big old yoke caught my imagination. He was also into watches as a thing, which was kinda unusual at the time. Especially when everybody started sporting digitals in the late 70's/early 80's. "Old" watches were seen, as well.. old. He loved the new tech as much as the old, for him it was all about the watches regardless. As I say, a bit eccentric at that time. So I just picked up on that and sought out said old watches in "junk shops"(before they became "Antique emporiums" :D). Even with basic 70s/80's pocket money of a fiver a month, you could pick up stuff that would cost many thousands today.
    How do you like to relax ? hobbies eg..
    At the mo due to circumstance, my life is a little constrained JB, so that answer is variable, but over the years; hanging out with mates, flyfishing, travel, looking through junkshops, collecting all sorts of shite, reading, cars, films, TV(more the case of late) and latterly talking guff on the interwebs. Mostly I'd say I'm a collector of stuff. Even when fishing it was more about the experience, the catch, the keeping I rarely did. Catching and briefly holding in my hand of that finned leopard that is the Brown Trout was enough. I loved seeing them swim away. That connection with the world was brill for me.
    Where do you get the ideas for your sermons?
    I have a huge mine of personal bullshite to exploit. And it's not even close to being tapped out. If ever BS is a resource, I am fcuking set. :DKinda serious answer JK? I hate the authority of consensus, or at best I am very suspicious of it. So if 90% of folks say the sky is blue, I am naturally predisposed to ask; "Really? Are you sure? The Greeks reckoned it was burnished and never mentioned blue and let's tease that out". I really don't don't like "received wisdom" and I never really grew out of that as most seem to do? I can see why though, because it's alienating at times.

    Northern Spain, France, Italy. Haven't really gone too much beyond Europe TBH. Caribbean, America, bits of Africa. I'd like to explore South America. Do a Motorcycle Diaries type trip, minus the motorbike as they scare the bejesus outa me. I'd like to have a root around Japan too.
    Anywhere you'd love to see again in your lifetime but circumstances make it unlikely?
    I can't think of any TBH S. Plus I find if years have passed going back somewhere you loved visiting is like going back to a first love, too many expectations and likely disappointment. Fave places, things and even people have to be come at anew I reckon.

    IT, but not at the clever geeky end.

    I am.

    Yeah. They were good craic and from a time when Boards(and other social groups) on the interwebs were more of a community vibe.
    What general advice would you give to a 25 year old for their career?
    Honestly? Unless you really love working in something and have an actual career rather than a job masquerading as one, then go where the money is. You can sate your interests if you have money. Consider time too. You can always earn more money, status whatever, but your time is finite and the most precious thing you have. "I wish I'd worked more overtime" said nobody on their deathbed ever.

    Can you describe yourself as you were at age 18?
    Hard one. I look at him like he's not me(I tend to think like that with all phases of my life. I'm like Doctor Who, keep regenerating :D). Typical enough 18 year old I suppose.

    A Wombles cassette when I was about six. :D
    and what is your all-time favorite album?
    Hard one. It changes. Gun to my head; Revolver by The Beatles(the "White album" by same would run a very close second). The inventiveness, raw talent and unbelievable progression of their music over just seven years never fails to stagger me.

    Jaysus S, :eek: kick off with "what's your fave colour", but oh no, not our Sleepy. :pac: I have no clue TBH.

    If I could I would try to break us/the world out of the runaway consumerism we're living through. It is doing us, nor the planet any good. And that is lost on most I'd say. Take the push for electric cars. Sounds great for the environment and people believe this, but the churn of new car every three years will still be in play, if not moreso as "free credit" plans are the way to buy new these days. Never mind that as cars become more like consumer electronics on wheels that churn will likely increase as people want that dopamine hit for new gadgets(how many reading get a phone upgrade annually, for a device that does the same thing as one three years or more ago). Someone running a well maintained 20 year old Corolla has done far less damage to the environment than someone who has "traded up" every three years in the interim, no matter how efficient the motive source.

    I'd also try to reduce the population. It's fewer people we need, not more. When I was born the world's population was well under half of what it is today and we weren't in any danger of economic collapse.

    Actually had to google her name. Memory like a goldfish. :D Nope, she could be the second coming, but they may as well rename the show(or better yet come with a new character and franchise rather than ride in on the coattails of another). I've lately had it up to my oxsters with the commercialisation of preachiness, pandering and "progressive" BS. I'd object if a previously female character was gender switched(though so not likely to happen). It's doubly a farce given the dearth of decent non violent male roles and heavy duty anti masculinity stuff in popular media and particularly that franchise(though to show "tough woman" just make her act with the same "toxic masculinity"). Plus I think that particular franchise has gone way downhill. All colour by numbers plot, hamfisted character and preaching. That seems to appeal more to the geeky types, but has lost the mainstream. And me.

    That's a tough one. Off the top of my head of all time? Plato, DaVinci(nice chap by all accounts), Shakespeare, Columbanus, Richard Feynman, Julius Caesar.
    Do you like cats?
    Not particularly AC and the feeling is usually mutual. :D I don't "get" them and they don't "get" me. Prefer the more open gregarious nature of dogs.

    Prehistory, I'd go back to the time when there were multiple subspecies of humans gadding about. To try and see if what made us different and better was evident. History, Ancient Greece probably.

    Nothing much to tell really. I got too high on the love drug and was oblivious to the red flags and not just in them. I found that as far as love goes I tend to be absolute. To a fault. If I tell you I love you, it's not just words. Sounds grand, but I have found that it's never that simplistic.
    Are you nerdy or do you just have a photographic memory ?
    Memory mostly C. Plus I go through rotating phases of interest and when I latch onto one I hoover up all the information I can get my hands on. Then near overnight I'll get bored and onto the next phase, but retain most of the info of the previous. I get bored very easily. So ADD with memory. :D Not really "nerdy"(says he on an interwebs forum). Not into gaming, fantasy, comics, coding and that sort of thing. Far more extroverted than intro. Didn't hang out with either the "swots" or "jocks" at school. Hung out with a diverse group that were a little bit of each and a little bit weird.
    If you had 30K to spend on a car for daily use that's both easy on the eye but doesn't need to stop at every petrol pump what would it be?
    TBH C I'd go old style, not new. There have been precious few new(er) cars I've driven that didn't feel "dead" dynamically to me((inc some sporty models, though the Renault Megan RS was nice). These days there's a lot of electronics between you and the road. I wouldn't be into old classic British sports cars that need nipple greasing every week either. I like that sweet spot that runs approx from say 1980 and 2000 between that "vintage" and computers on wheels. Where longterm reliability and excitement hit a peak IMHO. Problem in Ireland is that vested interests want to force such cars off the road and get people into financing new cars.

    Gun to my head new car? Probably a Golf of some nature, cos you really can't go wrong, or one of the sportier Fords, like a Focus or Fiesta ST(if you could get one at that money). Maybe a wild card like the Suzuki Swift Sport. Hardly fast, and whoever beat it with the ugly stick fell over with exhaustion, but a fair chunk of car for the cash.

    I love the hot hatch/sport coupe layout most of all. Practical and fun. The only cars I've ever owned. Though I'd not recommend my current car unless you're a bit daft like me. Mobile sensory deprivation device with wheels but outrageous craic.

    What car?
    Hard choice G. I'd have a few. Just one? Honda NSX Type R(mark 2). Bloody fast, unreal dynamics, large enough boot for weekends away and reliable as granite and you can work on it in your driveway(and will keep increasing in value). Yes there are faster cars, but for me the "best" speeds are between 20 and 120 MPH. So a Bugatti can hit 200 and the rest? Big deal. Some of the best actual fun I've had in a car was going well under half that. Plus I love that second or third gear long pull. In stuff like the Bugatti it's all too frantic.
    What watch?
    1930's Longines 13ZN flyback chronograph, steel stepped case, black dial. I was actually offered one back in the early 90's for two grand. Didn't have two grand and thought it a mad price for a watch. Doh! More like forty plus grand now the hipsters have cottoned on.
    Where would you live?
    Basque Spain. Looks like God practiced on Ireland and made some improvements, but before he went overboard on New Zealand. :D Cool people too. Really clicked with them.
    What charity?
    Vincent DePaul. Or any kids cancer research.
    Anything of historical significance you would buy?And why?
    Oh god, no idea. That list would be bloody huge. :eek: Stuff that'a actually available? At 200 plus examples I've already kinda gone troppo on Palaeolithic stone tools, though... :o Art I feel should be public. Off the top of my head; build a collection of medieval and renaissance furniture. I love old, even ancient things that can still be used. For years I used an Irish Neolithic flint blade as a knife for cutting my fishing line. Worked like a charm. I loved the notion that the guy or gal who made it many thousands of years ago was connected to me and what they made still functioned.
    Where did your interest in the history of humans come from?
    (love reading those posts,fascinating)
    Thanks G. :) When I was a kid of six or seven on holidays in France I found a flint tool on one of those organised excursions that were a thing. The lass in the local archaeological centre told me what it was and who made it(Neandertal) and then showed me an actual skull of one of those people that was on loan to them. I actually held it in my hands and was hooked. They looked so different, but were people. Back home I kept taking out a book from the school library about ancient man(it was for adults, so it was hard going for me) and at the end of that year my teacher, just gave it to me, because I was the only one reading it. She was very cool and very encouraging and looking back would regularly go off piste in the curriculum. The best kind of teacher IMHO. I got into fossil collecting about the same time and drove my poor suffering parents mad. :D Found a few local modern human tools doing that. Down the years on subsequent holidays and the like to France/Spain I picked up more bits and bobs.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Linear "time and motion" type thinking. Does my head in.
    How much of your day to you spend on Boards?
    About two hours actively. Have it on in a background tab.

    Afternoon Mr. Wibbs.

    My question is kind of based in fantasy, you've been granted the powers of The Flash and can time travel, is there any particular point in human history you'd like to go back to, or would you rather go forward in time to the great unknown to see what lies ahead for the human race?

    And on the above, do you think time travel is possible?
