• If you are Nerin’s father – where is his mother?

Long and confusing story. You see Nerin is actualy from the future. The fact of the matter is I haven't met his mother yet (that I know of). In a weird kind of way I think he's trying to cockblock me so he will never be born.

Gotta be Galvatron, coz he's bat-**** crazy:

• Three facts about you (not available on Boards) that you think we will find interesting

Well there arent many facts about me that you cant find on boards with a little bit of rooting...
- When I was a kid I used to have to wear an eye patch asone o my eyes wasn't particularly good. It was to get the bad eye used to working and improve it. So, basically for a while, I had one bad eye and a patch over the good eye... a bit like Sagat from Street Fighter. I couldn't see ****!

- When I was in second class my appendix burst, on Christmas day. Worst Xmas ever. Got better just in time for school :mad:
- I don't like bats. They freak me out.

• Favourite holiday you’ve been on – and why?

Answered that one already.

• Who do you get on best with in your family?

My sister. Probably because she no longer lives at home so we don't see each other that often.

• Highpoints and lowpoints of 2009?

Highpoint was working on my first two full lenght feature films (that didn't get canned half way through shooting) as a sound guy in quick succession; In World War and Portrait of a Zombie. Both are due to be released next year.

Lowpoints: Got shafted out of a few projects. ie: Told I had the role only later to be replaced on the sly without informing me. LOTS of chancers in this business. I've only been around a year and I have an enemies list.

• Is Santa bringing you pressies or coal?

Hopefully a present. Santa says I'm getting too old and this will be my last one.

• What are your top three talents?

Sound recording
Cracking wise
Karaoke (I'm ossim)

• Any tattoos or piercings?

Nope, and I have no intention to get any. Not after my best friend got drunk in Span and got a picture of a horse tatood on his leg. He later went to aniother tatoo parlour asking could they make it look 'less girly'. He now has MUSCLY horse tatood on his leg.

• Any nicknames?

Most people call me Markey. Boards people call me Galvy. However in comedy circles people call me JP. It's very rare that people call me Sean - usually at the bank.

• Which do you prefer: tea or coffee?

Tea is my usual preference. However, sometimes you just can't beat a good cup of coffee.

• What fora are on your subbed list?

Palaeontology, Films, Nocturnal Forum, Ranting & Raving, Transformers, Atheism & Agnosticism.

• How did you end up on Boards and what made you stay?

I have no idea how/why I ended up on boards. Lost to antiquity I guess.
I stay for the company.

• Do you have any teddies?

I still have a few in a drawer somewhere. I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them, not after the years of loyal service thay gave me. Good old Bunzul the bear, we will never know why I named you so...

• How did you choose your Boards.ie username?

Well, my name is Sean and the Galva bit comes from the Transformer Galvatron. I was watching the cartoon one day and my sister said to me, "Hey, that one looks like you!" (he has a goatee and I had a goatee at the time). From that day forth I became Galvasean, FUTURE RUILER OF THE UNIVERSE! MULTIVERSES!!!

• Favourite type of music?

I like rock n' roll and the lighter forms of metal the most. While I do like the odd bit of dance and rap etc. I'm not one of those knob-ends who says "I like all kinds of music"- what a dumb thing to say. Nobody does. Or those twats who say, "I like all music... except rap.... and metal...." etc. (woah, Im going into R&R mode, better stop)

• Favourite song?

Not many people believe me when I tell them this, but..

• Song you love that you hope no one will ever find out about?

Well, I guess everyone is gonna find out now...

• Most embarrassing dvd in your collection?

It's so embarassing, it comes out the otherside and becomes cool again!


Check out John Candy's cameo one minute in!

• Most embarrassing moment?

Oh man... let's just say it involved condoms and leave it at that.

• If you could invite 5 guests (dead or living) to a dinner party, who would they be?

Charles Darwin
Jim Carrey
Billy Connolly
Richard Dawkins
Stephen Fry

• Best thing about your time on Boards.ie?

All the great new friends I've made.
1..2..3... awwwwwwwwwww.........

• Most annoying habit?

Nail biting. Can't help it!

• Any type of music you don’t like?

All that acid house 'uns uns uns' crap or when they take aclassic song, ad that stupid repetitive dance beat and have some sped up squeeky voiced girl sing the lyrics. You know, the kind of crap scumbahs listen to on the Dart.

• Last book you read?

Fascinating...

• Who would you like to play you in the film of your life?

James Van Der Beek. See would anyone know the difference.

• Favourite quote or saying?

"Deal with it!"/"Rock n' roll."
- Sean Bateman

• If you could mod any forum (other than Noc or ones you already mod) which would you choose and why?

Atheism & Agnosticism. However, I mod enough forums as is. I said I'd never go over three, then tehy offered me Transformers... which basically mods itself.
I'd actually hate to mod the Noc forum. I come here to relax, not to work.

• Favourite food?

As I said before, either a really good steak or a proper Chinese.

• First concert you went to?

First proper concert I went to (ie: not a band in the pub) was Iron Maiden at the Point when I was in transition year.

• If you had to choose only one for the rest of your life would you choose hugs or kisses?

Oooh, tough choice. Depends on who I'm kissing... and would spooning still be allowed?

• Last thing that made you laugh?

Robindch (mod of A&A) saying 'cream cheese dildo'. If you knew him you'd understand (he's like Frasier).

• Last thing that made you cry (that you feel comfortable sharing)

I watched Terminator 2 last week. "I know now why you cry."

• What do you like and dislike most about yourself?

This damnable acne, goddamnit Sean, youre not twelve anymore!

• Favourite dessert?

Iced cream.

• In the cinema where is your preferred seat?

Near the back/middle, preferable away from the knackers if possible.

• Would you ever get plastic surgery?

Hmmm, wouldn't mind having a bigger chin...

• What famous people would you love to punch in the face?

There are so many I couldn't begin to tell you...
How about this dude?

See how he likes it!

• How long would you last without access to the internet?

Indefinately. That's not to say I'd like it though.

• Have you ever been in love?

Perhaps, once...

• What is your greatest fear?

Not making it.

• Have you broken any bones?

Nope. I drink plenty of milk.

• Do you believe in karma?

Not really. I like to say I do as a means of keeping myself good. But in reality, no, not really.

• are you a religious/spiritual person or not?

Not in the slightest. I think organised religion is a clever means to grab power and money.
As for spirituiality, no. I don't see the point in inventing supernatural things to fill in the gaps in human understanding. For the miost part, it's counter-productive.

What pisses you off about society Galva?

The sheer corruption of it all. The fact that nepotism is everywhere in society and by and large people put up with it.

LZ wrote:

Any impending films that are making you die with anticipation?

AS I said before, this:

and Avatar, I Love You Phillip Morris and hopefully Bad Boys 3.

Have you got a favourite R&R rant? :P

I have a few. There was grames_bond's f#ckwits at music gigs which became practically a forum of it's own. There was also a really good one posted last night which basically went to the beat of 'f#ck everybody!' My favourite rant that I did was the one about sharks in the media. I'm proud of that one. That and movie mistakes.

What have you started GF? :pac:

A war between good and evil that will last for a millenia...

A palaeonerd and a genetics nerd find a way to make Jurassic park possible. It's up to you whether or not it goes ahead. Yay or nay (or RAWWR)?

Certainly. What could possiblé go wrong. I'd be first in line to visit. I'd sell my kids to raise the money.

If you were a dinosaur which one would you want to be?

1. If someone is bitten. Execute them immediately. There is no cure. No room for sentimentality. The person you loved is gone.

2. Be quiet! There's no point shooting a zombie with a loud gun only to attract dozens, if not hundreds more. Avoid conflict where possible.

3. Tree bark is a surprisingly good source of food that is easily digested by humans. Be sure to harvest it without causing permanent damage to the trees. That way it will grow back.

Futurecrook wrote: »

I'm a big fan of the 1990 version of Night of the Living Dead.

1. do you watch much comedy shows on tv, if yes what shows are you a fan of??

Frasier is probably my current fave, as I have only really discovered it this year, so there's loads of episodes an it's all fresh and new.
Then there's the 'toons. I freaking love Family Guy, South Park and Futurama. American Dad is really good too when you get into it. Not to mention classic Simpsons!
I also watch King Of Queens and Two And A Half Men now and then. Two fairly underrated shows IMO.
Not a big fan of watching stand up on TV. To me, half the fun is being there and soaking up the atmosphere.

koth wrote: »

2. do you try to keep up with politics??

Perhaps oddly, I pay more attention to American politics than Irish ones. I even stayed up super late to watch the US presidential results come in.
Irish politics are so dull. Bunch of fat cat **** (that felt good).

koth wrote: »

3. if you were a super powered animal, what animal would you be and what powers??

A T.rex... who breathes fire! :cool:

koth wrote: »

4. have you discovered any mis-conceptions people have about comedians??

Oh yes, loads. For instance whenever you're talking about a famous comedian someone will inevitably say, "Oh, I hear in real life he's a dick!" Of course, these people have never met said comedian but choose to gormlessly believe whatever hearsay they have heard. If it's a comedian I've met/know I will often try explain that they are in fact nice people, but once people get the idea in their head they seldom relent.
Also, just because someone does a bit of stand up now and then people seem to think that they are somehow obliged to be funny all the time and tell jokes on demand. Sometimes even comedians like to be left alone when they are out having a quiet pint or meal with their friends, partner or family, without having some drunken tosspot demand that they drop what they're doing and tell them jokes immediately.
I guess that's where the "Oh X comedian is an asshole in real life" mentality comes from.

koth wrote: »

5. if you could hit someone with a fish, who would it be??

The president of Japan's whaling industry. Take that! (it's almost ironic)

Doctor DooM wrote: »

Which is your favourite Prime? from Transformers, smart arse.

The one from the Michael Bay movies (Contraversial!!!!). Great updated design that keeps te feel of the original. Plus, he's got Peter Cullen's voice. can't complain about that.

Doctor DooM wrote: »

Favourite Prime that's not named optimus?

Nova Prime. I refuse to call him Nemesis Prime as I find the name quite tacky.

Who, in your opinion, is the most best looking female celeb(s)?

KarmaGarda wrote: »

Who's your favourite non famous comedian?

Robbie Bonham

KarmaGarda wrote: »

Eva Mendez or Scarlett Johansson?

Eva Mendez. She seems a lot cooler.

KarmaGarda wrote: »

Let's say someone hands you a wire clothes hanger and said "Do something inventive!!", what would you do?

Nah, I'd make a dinosaur shape from it.

KarmaGarda wrote: »

Do you know the comedian John Toolan? Always meant to go see a gig of his.
