Interview the person below you III

auspicious

I think an agoraphobic would troll that comment.

Are you going to stay in your current line of work for life?

antgal23

I'm content at what I do, I would like to stay in the profession until retirement with a different role later

To what extent does your job define you as a person?

Trigger Happy

Zero. It's like two separate lives.

What are you doing right now?

Upforthematch

Sitting outside taking in the afternoon rays.

What's your favourite non alcoholic drink (other than tea coffee milk or water)

Snails pace

I do enjoy a coke out of a glass bottle or a bottle of club lemon.

How is your Sunday?

Freshly squeezed oranges but I only ever have them on holidays.

Have you caught up on all the long fingered jobs at home or are you 'doing them tomorrow '?

Sephiroth_dude

doing them tomorrow

Were you out for a walk today?

No.

Did you go to the park?

Upforthematch

No.

Have you been asked about leprechauns before by non-irish friends?

auspicious

Yep.
I lived in Galway a long time and knew lots of continentals. It usually came out after a few drinks.

I loved scary stories of banshees as a kid. What scared you?

antgal23

Leprechauns came out after a few drinks, thats mad!

Used to live beside an old mansion that had burnt down, thing was huge, 100 years old. Had a lane going up to it, overhanging trees and very dark - it scared the sh1t out me

Do you feel a sense of despair?

auspicious

I'm in no way anxious or anything but if I stop to think about it yes I do.
Did a shop earlier and on car radio there was a news clip discussing the possibility of plenty of pubs closing if they don't operate again before Christmas. If there's no vaccine, they mentioned, people certainly can't pack pubs. That's a desperate situation.
We need contact tracing teams set up for rapid responses.

Do you think sports should go ahead behind closed doors?

I couldn't care less.

Do you think people need to get their priorities straight?

auspicious

Without a doubt. There's too many people involved in sport to really allow it to proceed.

What do you think of the American protests, especially the one in Rio?

RMAOK

Americans love protesting - nothing new to see imo.

Would you change your religion if it meant marrying the person of your dreams?

No. I don't have a religion and if I had to require one in order to marry he wouldn't be the person of my dreams.

Would you?

antgal23

I watched some demo in Ohio, looked like Christian fundamentalists banging on about the Constitution.

USA in-fighting is cringe worthy! Trump v Cuomo is petty mud slinging

Do you think the current social climate in Ireland equates to a war time mind set?

RMAOK

Not a chance.

Do you believe in love at first sight or is that a Hollywood concept, in your opinion?

antgal23

Dunno
Do we mistake love at first sight for attraction at first sight ?

RMAOK

Definitely

Did you read peig when you were at school?

antgal23

What's Peig?

I believe in something at first sight. I don't know if I'd call it love but something incredibly powerful and immediate. I've experienced this.

What do you think?

RMAOK

No. Don't believe in love at first sight. Lust at first sight, perhaps.

Peig was torture for thousands of young people who had to study Irish for the leaving cert.

Did you ever study Shakespeare?

antgal23

Ah okay - didn't do Irish beyond 3 rd year - did French for GCSE.

Didn't do a lot of Shakespeare, did Chaucer I remember and Larkin

Just bought a book of Seamus Heaney poems

Ever read The Great Gatsby?

Ever read The Great Gatsby?

Yes. Incredible prose. It does not translate to film, though.

Was Gatsby in love or an obsessive stalker?

antgal23

Funny, the mansion in the movie popped into my head today, dunno why

I think the presentation of the character of Gatsby, his mystery was to a degree a cover for who he really was, a working class kid who got rich by criminal means - the love part fits into the class theme which iI feel is important to note

Would you agree that the idea of 'class's still exits in Western society, particularly in Europe?

I believe it exists across all societies

Go to much live music ?

Trigger Happy

5 or 6 big gigs a year. Well, I used to before all this...

What's the most exciting thing to happen to you today?

No
Where's a good place to go for music/ bands?

Upforthematch

Good place to go for music/bands - these days Youtube.... in the past - I always thought the Academy was good.

Most exciting thing to happen to me today - I unexpectedly ran into a friend and had a really good chat. So simple!

Are you more of a listener or a talker?
