No, I have never driven a tractor.

When did you last buy a newspaper or magazine?

My wife asked me to get a Sunday newspaper some time last year. I said it was basic just buying recycling. Haven’t bought one since. Apart from those magazines with all the tat you get for kids, I haven’t bought a magazine in about 10 years.

How many times a year to you change your toothbrush?

Every 2 months. I don't know if that's good or bad!

No, I should read more but I find it puts me to sleep quite easily!

If you could time travel where would you go to?

Gregor Samsa

2022, after all this Covid ****e has settled down. But I'd make sure I kept one foot inside the time machine until I was certain I didn't have to head on to 2023 or 2024.

Do you ever fantasise about being the only human left on the planet?

Snails pace

Eh no, I haven't and it sounds miserable.

Mostly imperial, metric when I'm monitoring how fast I'm driving though

Do you have a sweet tooth?

Purple Mountain

No, I'm a sucker for savoury food.

What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?

Trigger Happy

Jelly fish in a restaurant in Singapore. My host (a client) insisted I try the local delicacy...and I was too polite to say no. It was gross.

Have you a strong stomach?

Purple Mountain

No, I gag and wretch very easy. I definitely couldn't work in health care.

Do you try support local businesses?

Is a molecule of water wet?

No, no more than it's icy or steamy. The wetness we perceive in water or any liquid is a result of its viscosity, and to have viscosity, you need to have multiple molecules.

What's the most heroic thing you've ever done?

Trigger Happy

Fought off bag snatchers for a onetime girlfriend.

If you were in a really big and well stocked cake shop right now - what would you buy?

Gorteen

How has covid effected you financially?

How has covid effected you financially?

Positively. Our company organised the tax break for us for working from home. Saving a lot on diesel (has a 45km motorway round trip commute before) and childminding (3 kids). Still wish it would end, though. My dad died from it in May.

Who is your hero?

Purple Mountain

My female blood line. My mum, grandmothers and others. Each were very strong ladies in different ways.

Is it OK when the end justifies the means?

Is it OK when the end justifies the means?

Yes, though as long as positive moral considerations are at the forefront of decisions.

Preparing a child for soceity, what should they know most about?

Have you ever climbed Carrauntoohil?

Six times, including the Devil's Ladder without the aid of a trampoline.

Did Steve McQueen ever take a bullitt for the Marines?

auspicious

Yes he did but Rotten Tomatoes aren't sure +/- 3%.

Has the price of trampolines increased or reduced lately?

Snails pace

I never priced one in a while

Do you love Fridays ?

Gregor Samsa

Pizza for dinner, I won't have to make the school lunches tonight and in work we have "no meetings Fridays", so I guess they're better than the other 4 weekdays, but I really hate those people who greet you with ""Morning! It's Friiiiiidaaaaay!", so that happening cancels all the good stuff out.

What was the best birthday present you ever got?

Snails pace

A tool kit from my parents for my 21st birthday. I love using it every day.

Do you like getting gift cards for your birthday?

talla10

I suppose but i never keep them.

Are you sentimental?

Gorteen

Not in the slightest

Favourite TV programme?

global23214124

Breaking Bad I would say. Rewatched it there recently enough and forgot how good the final seasons were.

What's the biggest celebration of the year in your family?

Gregor Samsa

Christmas. Although I tried to convince the kids that my birthday (today) is International Gregor Day, and that people all around the world celebrate it with parades in my honour, and that they were sending astronauts up to write my name across the moon. They got very concerned that this wouldn’t be organised in time, so I had to tell them I was joking.

How many teeth do you have?
