Topic: Ask the next person a question

[El Lobo]

I'd be impressed and a bit scared if anyone can remember being pushed around in their pram! For me the earliest I can remember back to is 1995 (born in 88) but it is all very vague.

Tyson v Ali in their primes, how does it go?

Ali would have baptised him. Tyson was an absolute monster but Ali has every advantage in terms of height, weight, reach and....just a more skilled boxer.

Same sort of topic....us now vs the late 80s Milan side, score?

[Terry de Niro]

The Johannesburg/Pretoria airport is a lot higher than Ben Nevis although it wouldn't feel that way

Regarding Andy's question. A little bit, but mainly it's the other way round that my mood affects what music I do listen to.

Question 2: a drawing day at kindergarten in 1993. Lots of noise.
Question 3: I'm not a boxing fan but I suspect Tyson in his prime would've left anyone with a bloody nose. Then again, Ali was deprived of his prime by the government so it's hard to say.

Which is the northernmost point in the world you've been to? Mine is at the Jörn ski slope back as a child in 1997 at 65'09°N. Couldn't brake but due to the flat slope I didn't care too much.

Wick, highlands in Scotland

Ali would have baptised him. Tyson was an absolute monster but Ali has every advantage in terms of height, weight, reach and....just a more skilled boxer.

We would smash them 5-0

Us now v our late 80's team?

[Linudden]

Not even close. Dominant display for the current lads. Players back then used to go to the pub and didn't have nutritionists

Best piece of road you've ever cycled on? Mine has to be the road between Mosjö and Södra Bro just south of Örebro whenever there's a westerly wind. The hills are like launching ramps for the plains. Perfect topography!

[RAWK Meltdown #1]

Mine has to be the road between Bootle and Walton....just west of Huyton!!

 

What's the most expensive aftershave/perfume you've ever bought yourself?

(My current guilty record is Tom Ford's "Ombre Leather"...100 ml of woody, oudy scentabulousness!! )

Creed Aventus. I used to flinch at the idea of wearing aftershave, never thought I'd pay almost £300 notes for a bottle.

Did you have a penpal as a kid?

[Terry de Niro]

Did you have a penpal as a kid?

Yes, from Budapest in Hungary, as a 13-year-old lad.
I used to send him match reports from our games from newspapers, etc..

How would you describe yourself from when you were a kid?

[I've been a good boy]

Very unaware of things but easy going. Was always a bit of a joker as well, have lost my sense of humour as I got older and things got difficult.

What vital advice would you give your younger self?

[Drinks Sangria]

Chill out, work harder and live up to the example you seem to expect from others.

If male, At what age did you start to be able to grow a proper beard? Or can you not? If Female, have you ever shaved your head?

[Linudden]

Somewhat of a beard 17, very easy 18 and too much 19. Quite the usual steps.

What is the maximum amount of milk you can have in one day? I'm capable of four litres if doing exercise in hot weather which is a bit insane

[Drinks Sangria]

None if I don’t want the world to fall out of my arse. I’m moderately lactose intolerant so avoid cow’s milk.

Do you have lots in common with your friendship group or is it more friendship of convenience and circumstance?

[Elzar]

The main 2 friends I see I have a lot in common with, pretty much liked all sports/music/films/shows before we met. Everyone else I see is just people I have met through work and kind of kept in touch with.

What is your favourite meat free meal to have?

[Drinks Sangria]

We have a vegan night twice a week to try and reduce our meat intake and carbon footprint, we do a beautiful red lentil and sweet potato dhal with broccoli on the side that is spicy and satisfying.

What's the one band you never get sick of listening to?

What's the one band you never get sick of listening to?

Super Furry Animals. No two songs sound the same, always inventive, always with a ton of nice melodies.

Any tips with coping with a hangover on work time? Working from home which makes things a little easier.

[Drinks Sangria]

When working from home, a fish finger sandwich is the lord's cure for a hangover. Other than that, plenty of water, mental distractions and general inactivity. If you can force yourself out on a short walk for some fresh air, it will either cure you or punish you.

What's the most immoral form of taxation (bearing in mind anything other than income tax is double taxation)?

National Insurance, I cant comprehend the fact that the % goes lower as you move up the income brackets.

Are you friends with any Tories?

Are you friends with any Tories?

I am acquaintances with people who don't vote but are well-off and selfish enough that they probably would do if they knew anything about politics, I also have friends who I have a feeling are closet Tories. I tend not to talk much politics in friendship circles, as much as that may not be right morally I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable because I can get fired up real quick and become very, very belligerent and condescending to others when talking politics if I am in the wrong mood. I live in a proper Torified-area but my MP is Labour thank god.

Was the country always this stupid or has it gotten worse in recent years?

[Sheer Magnetism]

Was the country always this stupid or has it gotten worse in recent years?

The country was always this stupid, probably more so in fact. Have you seen what was on TV in the 70's? The problem is that people are now bombarded by media so comprehensively it becomes harder for individuals to come to their own reasoned conclusions about issues and they end up parroting whatever they've seen on social media.

What's the most embarrassing non-football opinion piece you've ever seen?

[Drinks Sangria]

Just pick up any of the right-wing media tabloids on any given day and look at the front page.

Has any quasi-communist country ever truly ran the country to the true ideals of communism?

[Terry de Niro]

What are "the true ideals of communism"?
Like every other movement or whatever it is, it changes to suit certain types.

How did you occupy yourself during lockdown/s?

[Drinks Sangria]

For the first two months I was on furlough as I was on gardening leave whilst waiting for an NDA to expire to take up the new job I'd got. The weather was glorious and it was the first time in my adult life I'd ever had more than a week off work. We went walking every day, I was running loads, we did movie marathons, cooked loads of new recipes. It was a good time in many ways. I know that's not the prevailing opinion and I'm lucky that the pandemic didn't leave me in a dreadful situation but it was actually an enjoyable time for me, from an individual perspective.

Why is Starmer not chucking his weight around scoring tap-ins left and right against this clown government?

Depends. How quickly do you wanna close this legendary thread  ? I guess he might be too careful trying to strike a balance and thus getting as many on board?

What was the last movie you saw?

Top Gun Maverick last Monday. The flying sequences were brilliant.

Huge stadium concerts or small intimate gigs?

[Drinks Sangria]

Small intimate gigs. Been to some bangers in stadiums but it’s only ever smaller venues where everyone comes out with this collective feeling that everyone in that venue has seen and shared something special that will never be recreated in quite the same way.

Would you be willing to pay more tax if you could choose where it’s apportioned?

[Linudden]

How did you occupy yourself during lockdown/s?

normal life.

Would you be willing to pay more tax if you could choose where it’s apportioned?

Yes but the local mayor here would never allow someone to fix the broken roads anyway so I guess that can't happen. I don't earn enough to pay state income tax so that's a hypothetical.

Do you ever wake up five minute before the alarm rings anticipating something is going to happen? I do that all the time when supposed to go up.

[Drinks Sangria]

I pretty much routinely wake before my alarm, just in anticipation of the alarm I believe. 06:00 when working in town, 07:45 when working from home.

Do you like a 12:30 kick off?

Take your pick from any in the Lake District area. Stunning, all of them. 

What's your favourite UK beauty spot?

[Drinks Sangria]

Long Mynd in Shropshire looking over Snowdon National park one side and as far as the estuary and The Chase AONB the other is spectacular on a clear day.

Have you ever tried authentic cuisine having got used to the bastardised UK version and been disappointed by the real thing?

[I've been a good boy]

First time I had a Moroccan tagine it wasn't great, but then again I bought it from a tourist trap restaurant by a popular waterfall. City restaurant version was much nicer.

What do you make of Barcelona's pathetic situation?

[Terry de Niro]

What do you make of Barcelona's pathetic situation?

Disgraceful and should be thrown out of La Liga, and kicked out of all European competitions but I won't catch my breath over that.

What do you make of Yernited's funny situation?

[bradders1011]

What do you make of Yernited's funny situation?

Funny isn't it? Let's enjoy it while it lasts, because there's too much money involved for it to be perpetual.

Will the Gulf sportswashers pull out once they've laundered enough reputation?

[I've been a good boy]

The c*nts seem to be in this for the long run. They've invested far too much in London alone.

Which memory would you love to relive?

My first walk up the old Kop steps at a night game and seeing the beautiful green pitch under the lights.

Do you have a soft spot for any other English club side?

[Drinks Sangria]

Crewe Alex. I go to watch them a fair bit, it’s only 40 minutes from me. My Grandparents on one side of the family are from a small town in Cheshire that doesn’t have a pro team and their parents grew up in Crewe, so Crewe was the easiest way to watch football for them. Liverpool are my team but I have a big soft spot for Crewe, as tough as that’s been with events swirling round the club and past club officials shaming themselves and the whole club with their complicit and awful handling of the Bennell scandal.

Is there a foreign club whose results you always look for?

When I was younger it used to be Juve and Real, and then I grew up and learnt a bit more about them as clubs besides 'having Del Piero and Raul, who remind me of Robbie Fowler' and yeah....not so much anymore. I'm keeping an eye on Bayern now to see how Sadio gets on.

Whats the best 'freebie' you've ever received?

Whats the best 'freebie' you've ever received?

I'm not sure it counts as a freebie, but when I was about 10 I won a competition in like Games Master or something similar where I won a PAL Special Edition White Game Boy Advance and a copy of Pokemon Ruby about a week before it was available in UK stores. I'm not sure a competition win counts though. For proper freebies, I have an umbrella I've used handily for years that has my old work's branding on it.

Have you ever won any form of competition?

Spiders, usually those ones with thick long legs and run waaaay too fast across the wall.
