Hope you had a great day!
An interview with Whifflingpin:
*Why are we doing this interview thing?*
To pander to my base passion for self advertisement
*Are you sure you want to do this?*
Aye
*Who killed Roger Rabbit?*
**** Robin, I guess
*Whose footprints would you find in the fridge?*
*So, how old are you?*
"As old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth"
*If you had a personal theme song what would it be?*
“Oranges and Lemons”
*Are you male or female? *
Usually
*What makes you keep coming back to the Forum?*
*Are you happy with the way things are here?*
*If you could change one thing about the LitNet, what would that be?*
The colour scheme
*What was the inspiration for your LitNet username?*
Johnson’s “Lives”.
*Should JBI get an + beside his name?*
JBI should get his heart’s desire. If that includes a +, then so be it
*Which country are you from and which countries have you visited?*
From England, have visited other bits of the UK, France, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, as it was then, Turkey, Germany, Brasil, Mexico, U.S.A & India.
*Which languages do you speak?*
English. I read French, after a fashion, and can pick out the usual phrases in Latin on a tombstone. I once found it useful to know the Russian for bear, and to be able to ask for four beers please in German. I can make people smile in Kannada, and I wouldn’t die of thirst in Turkey. In Brasil, I might know whether the sign was directing me to the city, or telling me to beware. And in Belgrade, I would no longer be fooled into looking for that seemingly ubiquitous attraction Jedan Smir that all the signs seemed to point to. I know the meaning of “elen sila lumen omentielmo” and I weep when I hear “anastrondaitu”, though I don’t know why.
*How do you like your home town?*
Love it and loathe it
*If you could live somewhere different, where would it be and why?*
Next door – but next door to whom? That is the question
*Do you have any pets?*
Grrr
*What makes you happy?*
Snowdrops, at this time of year.
*Do you feel comfortable in your walk with God? *
How could it be otherwise?
*Which actor should play you in a movie based on your life?*
W C Fields
*How do you like your coffee? *
Hot
*Given the option, what animal would you choose to be?*
A boa constrictor
*What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?*
A 5cm wrasse that I caught on an anchor
*What makes you feel great about yourself?*
*How did you meet your significant other?*
She was a friend of a friend’s significant other, whatever that means.
*Who inspires you most?*
I’m pretty uninspired
*What are you naturally good at? (Skills, abilities, gifts etc.)*
I sing a bit
*What is the one thing you must do before you die?*
pay taxes
*If you had to teach something, what would you teach?*
children
*What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?*
I’ll tell you later
*If you were to be stuck at a particular time in your life, which one would you choose and why?*
Nah!
*Do you get tired living life?*
Not yet
*Do you have a tasty recipe for life that you could share for a reasonable price? … Is it REALLY tasty?*
Share it - for free
*What method do you cherish above all others, as means to improving your life?*
Take life easy, it’ll still be there tomorrow – and if not, you won’t notice
*What one thing would you NEED to have on a deserted island if you didn't have to worry over food and water? *
A hat
*If you were a king/queen for a day, what would you do?*
Abolish governments
*What’s the stupidest forum argument you’ve ever had?*
None – when I used to argue, I tried to operate on 3 strikes and out. A good discussion might go on a while, but three posts in an argument is enough, whatever Godwin might think.

*What would you like to be if you could change your profession?*
Retired

Tell us something scandalous about yourself.
I’ve never read Dante

What do you think? Would you care to expand on that? Yes, you may be right.
*How long did it take you to answer all of these questions?*
Years and years
*If you could change your Forum nickname, which one would you pick now?*
I still like Whifflingpin – I haven’t explored all its possibilities yet
*One final word of wisdom for LitNet users?*
Later, my dears
*What question would you like to ask to the person to be interview after you?
