My dear old thing, we are a civilised nation, we do not have baseball bats - we have cricket bats. Far more seemly, what?
Do you hate photos of yourself?

Do you hate photos of yourself?
Yes, I do. Yuck. They always make me look strange.
Do you like surreal art?
No, not a bit. Went to an exhibition of Klee, Picasso and Giacometti in the Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart, got bored stiff and went off to look at the old masters. Including one by Picasso, "Woman Weeping", which is brilliant.
Are war-films a good thing?
Sometimes. Apocalypse Now was a good psychological one. However some are just too ideologically concrete thus ethnocentrism comes in.
If Virgina Woolf Came as Orlando what would you say to her?
"Hello - I'm not afraid of you!"
Is blank verse really poetry?
Yes, I guess. People have different styles.
Which actor would you like to be for a week?
I would say Sir Max Beerbohm-Tree, but he's dead.
Please may I go to bed now? The cider is doing what cider does. That is the way with cider. It may give the Older Ones a wound down there.
Sure. It was fun playing with you Daffyd.
Would you say the same?
Several hours later.......very much so. Keeps the old grey matter in trim.

Go bananas :banana:
What will you do if you found one day that your bank balance had mysteriously become nil?
Freak out and call the bank immediately :eek:
What would be the first thing you would do if you won $10mil?
WOW THANK Allah Almighty first I mean I won 10 mil! Then give to the poor/needy and help my parents who have always loved me, supported me and helped me: Allah Almighty BLESS THEM ALWAYS then buy stuff for myself, my bro and his wife and others! ^_^ Probably even fund research groups and implant brain chip that'll allow me to be super good at art so I can draw my manga ideas. ^_^
What would you do if you were a member of the LOST series?
Hang on until the series ended.
If you could listen to only one band/singer forever who would you pick?
None. No matter how good only one forever is torture;).
Can you be with a person you like but who listens a lot to the music you hate?
You'd better ask my wife!!! We have completely different tastes in most music.
Do you still like the old black-and-white films?
NO. Because Music is an important part of my life like my family and writing. You don't have to love it but if you can't even like it, it becomes a pain in itself.
Would you ever sleep/make love to someone who is only physically attractive to you but turns you off other ways?
No.
Would you?
Probably not, well how attractive?
What's the last concert you've been to?

When was the last time you felt you were romantically involved?
Last time I saw my wife, about 20 minutes ago, when she brought me a cup of coffee and a couple of Ginger Biscuits.

I think it is as important as Allopathy and a combination of these can bring more effective medicine to those in need. (To Dafyd concerning last post AWWW Dude you are lucky and so is she ^_^)
What do you think of androgyny?
Difficult to avoid if you happen to be a sea-horse.
What is normal?
So I am a sea-horse then ^_^
Normal is the relative terminology that can save lives or even completely destroy them.
Are you eccentric?
If I'm not, I'm in serious trouble. As they say in certain parts "Does dim moddion yn erbyn twpdra!"
Having said that, how would you define eccentricity?
I suppose not too linked to mainstream, possessing alternative tastes - a heterodox lion waging war on basic presumptions ^_^
Does that match your definition of eccentricity?
We part-time eccentrics don't define things we have to live - we just get on with it. Real Madrid:2, Surreal Madrid:Fish
Why do most countries drive on the right?
Because they know better.

Do you consider yourself a good writer?
For technical writing yes.
