I'd say my dad, but even he has flaws. Guess he could be my tragic hero, eh? I don't think I have one yet. Give me a few years, maybe I'll meet or read about someone spectacular (in my little opinion).

What's the last song you sang out loud?
Bugeilio'r gwenith gwyn, or Watching the White Wheat. Welsh love song.
Do you ever sing where others can hear you?
Yep and I make a lot of noise too.
Do you consider yourself a happy person?
Yes I do.
Do you love jokes?
Yes - the cornier the better!
Do you believe that laughter is the best medicine?
Yes I do.
What makes you laugh?
I try and find the funny in just about anything, which may well be considered shallow, but it's a sight better than taking life too seriously, never mind that various people pay me for it! Thos who get in to deep analysis and being terribly learned about things never seem to be happy people.
Do you like animated films?
Yes very much.
Do you have kids?
Yes, I have two daughters from my first marriage,(33 and 28) and two stepsons from my wife's. (Her husband died very young). However, both the lads are more like very close friends.
Do you have any?
Nope I have none, but I love kids.
Do you like music?
Yes - eclectic mix. Led Zeppelin, The Who, Welsh Folk music, Bagpipes, Beethove, Mozart, Mussorgsky, Elgar, Dvorak in particular.
What's your favourite form of music?
Can't choose one... I like pretty much everything....but Country. Even then there are few exceptions...
What's yours?
I can listen to just about anything except Country (hmmmm) or Motown. My favourite band would have to be Jethro Tull.
Your favourite band?
Oh jeeze.... according to my play count on my itunes my favorite band is Rise Against... but I don't have one. Lke I said, there are too many that I like.
Are you watching the Spain/Germany game?
No thanks - I'd rather watch paint dry. Strange to relate, I've never, ever played Association football in my life, and since I don't even begin to understand it (or the hype that goes with it) I can't be bothered. I prefer different sports.
What is your favourite sport (assuming that the above hasn't caused immeasurable upset!)
Haaaa, that would be futbol.... or football...or soccer. Whatever. Spain won, although you probably don't care :] . I'm happy about it. You do not offend. There are sports I can't stand, like golf, tennis, wrestling...
What do you like, then?
I don't I am not interested in football.
What is your favourite kind of sport?
I was brought up with Rugby Union, which is a form of organised violence whereby the players try to kill each other for 90 minutes, then kill each other with kindness thereafter in the bar. I played for best part of 25 years. Also, cricket, once described as organised loafing.
What sport if any do you enjoy?
I'll save that question for Olga as I've already answered it...
What would you buy with a million gbp?
A stone cottage, set in the mountains and overlooking the sea of North Wales.
Where would you live given the choice?
Well I live in California/Surrey so.... I've got the best of both worlds. I'm quite content with my current homes.
What's your favorite book genre?
I don't really have one - I can read just about anything except Westerns.
Does anybody like Westerns?
I liked Firefly.... which is a space western.... which sounds horrible.... (this was a television program though)
What's for tea?
Had it, thanks. It's nearly midnight here. Home made brown bread, fresh out of the oven. Superb.
What's your plan for a meal?
It's 4pm here. It's a friends birthday and I already made her a cake... I'm too lazy to make real dinner for her and our friends so I'll probably just throw some Shepherd's Pie together... call me lazy.
What's the oddest book you own? For example found "How to be Popular" while cleaning.
Ah - confession time - I have a collection of 44 Beano annuals!

I guess pieces of knowledge, stability, love, blogs and anime ^_^

Most of the time, although I am a part-time driving instructor, so not entirely.

Oh yes he was in our curriculum, Thanks for reminding me of old school memories, I think in Class 7 and Class 8 "A Zoo In My Luggage" read part (when they reached the Boa constrictor) though I think he made a sexist comment concerning the Hippos :( Though the guy is God Blessed Lucky

What's your favorite Alice Cooper song?
Funnily enough I've been listening to Lost in America a lot lately. I used to kind of hate it. Not sure which song is my favorite though.
