Oh Internet

The Elder Gods of the Interweb will strike me down for filling this in, but what the hell. Received via email, but responded to here rather than forwarding it to a bunch of people, since everyone knows blogs are the new chain emails…

Change all the answers so that they apply to you. Then send this to a Whole bunch of people you know INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU.
It should take 5 minutes. All you do is click forward, and then you will be able to change all the answers and send it is easy as pie:
Sometimes you discover things about people you never knew…..

1. What is your name?

Paul New

2. What time is it?

Too Damn Late(tm)

3. Any nickname?

P (though I’m slowly managing to get rid of that.)

4. Children name/s?

None, though if I ever get married and have a son then there’s some kind of moral imperative that I name him ‘Brand’.

5 Number of candles on your last birthday cake

26 (though I’m Scottish. In real-people-years that’s about 67, so I’m due for a heart attack pretty soon.)

6. Date that you regularly blow them out?

24th August

8. What is your favourite drink?

Water. (Or Gin & Tonic if you meant ‘favourite alcoholic drink.’)

9. Body piercing & tattoo’s?

Nope. I have seen old people with tattoos acquired when they were young. It’s not a pretty sight. Also, “tattoos” not “tattoo’s.” C-, see me after class.

10. How much do you love your job-scale of 1 to 10

8 (I love it, but there’s way too much of it.)

11. Birthplace?

Aberdeen.

12. Favourite vacation spot?

Dunno, I tend to turn into a zombie when on holiday. Anybody who tells you that you can’t catch up for missed sleep is a filthy liar.

13. Ever been to Europe?

Yes.

14. Stolen any traffic signs?

No, but I nearly managed to grab a ‘Slippery When Wet’ sign in Texas.

15. Ever been in a car accident?

Yes. A high school sort-of-friend driving us in a car with no working speedometer or handbrake hugely overshot a roundabout entrance and ploughed us into the grass in the centre. Wrote off the car, leaving us stranded at a motorway service station for hours.

16. Croutons or Bacon bits?

EVERYTHING should have bacon in it.

17. 2 Door or 4 Door cars?

Wha?

18. Salad Dressing?

Peanut sauce (I don’t care if that’s not a proper dressing…)

19. Favourite Pies?

Scotch pies. (See question 2.)

20. Favourite Number?

0xDEADBEEF (The Joy of Hex(adecimal))

21. Favourite Movie?

Bladerunner. (Although ‘Ghost in the Shell’ gives it a run for its money.)

22. Favourite Colour?

Green.

23. Favourite Holiday?

See question 12.

24. Favourite Food?

Bananas.

25. Favourite day of the week?

They’re all pretty much the same. (There’s some old adage along the lines of “I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several attack me at once”)

26. Favourite brand of body soap

I couldn’t tell you what clothes I’m wearing without looking, so I’ve got no hope of remembering brands of soap. Sheesh, priorities, people, priorities.

27. Favourite TV show:

Mythbusters.

28. Toothpaste?

See question 26.

29. Most recently read book?

The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. It’s fantastic, and may well be the sexiest book ever written.

31. Favourite Smell?

In the woods just after it’s stopped raining.

32. What do you do to relax?

Read books. Be careful though, too much relaxation is bad for you.

33. Favourite Fast Food?

Define fast food. Do the noodle stalls in Camden Market count? Most greasy-burger-place food makes me gag.

34. When was your last hospital visit?

1992-ish.

36. How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hopping up and down, screaming “I told you so!”

37. What do you do when you are bored?

Surf the web until I’m so bored that I force myself to go and get something useful done.

38. What presents do you enjoy receiving?

CDs/books/movies that I’d haven’t heard of or wouldn’t have thought to get for myself. Random toy-things to scatter over my desk.

39. Furthest place you will send this message?

Maybe New Zealand. Who knows? It’s going on the wilds of the Intermaweb, so could get anywhere.

40. Who will respond the fastest?

No idea.

41. Least likely to respond?

Almost everybody. I’ll get ridiculed for answering this, but that’s ok.
