No, I actually picked up a new job during it and resigned from another.

What is your favourite smell?

Paraffin firelighters...or petrol...or petrichor...or fresh bread baking can’t decide!

Is it just me or do Northerners from a Protestant background seem more likely to have a moustache than Northerners from a Catholic background?

SineadSpears · 22-10-2020 7:56pm

Cant say, I wouldn't know the difference between a protestant & a Catholic unless they mentioned it to me.

Sorry but I think moustache's are a bit pervy looking.
Do you agree/disagree?

Gregor Samsa · 22-10-2020 10:24pm

Don’t think they’re pervy, but I do think they’re a bit naff. I’ve never seen anyone improved by one.

Have you ever done anything that, if caught for, could have resulted in a prison sentence?

SineadSpears · 22-10-2020 11:42pm

yes.

Justin beiber is sporting the pervy moustache, & the glasses that all perverts in movies wear, look. It turns my stomach.

Rant over, if you were offered a million do you think you could play the part of a rapist in a movie?

auspicious · 23-10-2020 12:24am

Sure. I wouldn't really care about the public which can't separate fiction and reality.

Would you change your job tomorrow if closer to home but less pay,

SineadSpears · 23-10-2020 12:49am

I like my job & its not too far away either(maybe 30minutes drive). Any closer & I'd be working with the neighbours. So no I wouldn't want to be any closer to home than I already am.

Has this last year made to rethink many things in your life? Like maybe changing careers, taking up a new language, getting that pet snake you've always wanted??

Apart from the pandemic it’s made me move on some things I was lounging about on. It’s currently got me selling some property abroad that I was hesitant to do initially. Now I’m on a bit of travels and living a calm existence in the midst of all this madness.

Same question to you?

SineadSpears · 23-10-2020 1:17am

I got a bit excited with making some life changes & looked into relocating. Didn't work out though because where I am suits me for lots of reason's. I'd still love to think it can happen so maybe in another year or two I'll look into it again. Depending on work & how things go in the world after all this.

Do you live in a city or live rural?

23-10-2020 1:20am

I live on the outskirts of town..

Would you say you're happy overall?

jimbobaloobob · 23-10-2020 1:23am

Yea I see my world as a more than half full measure of opportunities and blessings.

Have you any I shouldn’t be alive story?

A few actually. The worst one and the one I didn't really fully grasp the seriousness off til much later was the time a bloke tried to coax me into his car when I was 8. I honestly believe I wouldn't have come home again but I knew something was really wrong and bad about the situation so pretended I could hear my mother calling me and backed away from the car before turning and running and screaming blue murder. He sped off then. This would be late 70s England.

Same question

Jeez that’s creepy. Gives me the shivers.
Slipped on the dock once while working on a trawler fell between two of them not hurt but freaky and I suppose of all things were different I wouldn’t be typing.
Was a passenger on an emergency landing before. Don’t feel my life was in danger for that one though.

Do you find it hard to sleep sometimes and what helps?

Reading can help and listening to Chopin or Satie. Sometimes, nothing works

auspicious · 24-10-2020 12:55am

Drinking tea keeps me awake.
What helps is don't think of anything. Blank your thoughts.

What was the thing you bought due solely to an advertisement?

24-10-2020 1:00am

An Orrery.. I'd been wanting one a while and saw an ad on the book of faces.. haven't got it yet though..

Is it tomorrow night the clocks are going back?.

SineadSpears · 24-10-2020 1:06am

Tommy Hilfiger ads keep coming up. So bought a new pair of trainers last week..
& as a bonus, my mam said she'd give them to me as a Christmas present because she knows I'm fussy. So she gave me the money back for them & put them away until Christmas for me:pac:

Do you like surprise presents, or would you prefare to choose something you actually want or need?

SineadSpears · 24-10-2020 1:22am

Yesterday when I wild camped.

What’s your overall emotion right now?

auspicious · 24-10-2020 1:32am

Positive.
I was very Hungover this morning and watched a few episodes of Barbarian on Netflix and got teary eyed at the themes. It's pretty grim ( historical account) overall.

Cardio or weights?

jimbobaloobob · 24-10-2020 1:34am

Both. Tomorrow weights

You?

auspicious · 24-10-2020 1:41am

Bigger fan of cardio. Prefer cycling over running. Enjoy upper body weights but leg day...

Ever tried cold showers?

jimbobaloobob · 24-10-2020 1:43am

Yes. Always a shock.

Apparently good for you.

I don't hate it but I would prefer to be in the passenger seat looking out the window a lot of the time.

What music were you into as a teenager?

Gregor Samsa · 24-10-2020 9:35am

Metal first (thrash and death), then adding grindcore and hardcore punk and then industrial (starting with Godflesh, Front 242, Laibach, Revolting Cocks, etc)

What’s the one skill you wish you had that you don’t.

Gorteen · 24-10-2020 9:58am

Yep, as soon as I could.

Have you ever tried to copy a celebrity's haircut?

Gregor Samsa · 24-10-2020 10:48am

Not quite, but I interviewed the drummer from US punk band NOFX in 1991. I asked him about his dreadlocks, and he encouraged me to just stop combing my hair and let it mat up, so I did. And I didn’t brush or cut my hair for 14 years.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without a haircut?

I don't necessarily believe it but it's a possibility. Either the technology itself through A.I. will or a group/state with 'extreme' ideologies and insurmountable tech.

-Most enjoyable thread for me is the keep this thread alive by good jokes threads or something and the creepy thing happen to you thread.
