1. Do you spend too much time on the internet?
More time than is good for a married man with two kids.
Although I have been cutting down lately...a bit.

2. What actions in society provoke anger in you?
Cruelty to innocent children, or worse. The baby P case lately got me psychotic. Grown adults that are intent on harming defenseless children have no place in society and deserve to die.

3. Can you hear the difference between a CD and an MP3?
Yep.

4. Is the worldwide financial recession affecting you or your parents?
9 redundant at work so far and more to come possibly after Xmas.
Unaffected financially to date, but that will only be a matter of time if the trend continues. Whatever happens it won't worry me.

5. If you had to emigrate to one country where would it be?
New Zealand.

6. Have you ever conquered a fear or phobia?
I had a fear of water for a while which discouraged me from swimming for years. I didn't conquer it as much as the fear just faded in time. I'm fine about swimming now.
There is one phobia that's been with me all my life, dating as far back as childhood that to this day I've yet to explain or conquer.
I can't stand the site of buttons (with the odd exception of shirt buttons) nor the touch of them. Even the word bothers me. I've never got to the bottom of this irrationality and doubt I ever will.
For me there's nothing worse than the site of a solitary button left on a mantelpiece, or somewhere similar. Literally nauseating.

1. Do you spend too much time on the internet?
Hell yes.

2. What actions in society provoke anger in you?
Cruelty to animals, cruelty to children, war, bigotry and Bolton Wanderers.

3. Can you hear the difference between a CD and an MP3?
Nah.

4. Is the worldwide financial recession affecting you or your parents?
I don't think so. And even if it does we've been through all this **** before when we lost our house, car and quite a large amount of cash to a combo of the government and conmen.

5. If you had to emigrate to one country where would it be?
Canada.

6. Have you ever conquered a fear or phobia?
Almost. Used to be scared ****less of spiders. Not so much anymore, but I still can't get anywhere near those fat, furry ones that live under floorboards and inside wall cavities.

jackhammer · 11-22-2008, 08:31 AM

1. Do you spend too much time on the internet?
Yeah but then I don't watch much T.V -only films usually so it is slightly justified but I do wish I could cut down and get reading more. i've been on the same book for over a month now

2. What actions in society provoke anger in you?

Exactly the same as David. Child abuse is sickening to me. In fact any sort of bullying in society is abhorrent to me.
3. Can you hear the difference between a CD and an MP3?
Yeah definitely. If you can't you must be tone deaf.

4. Is the worldwide financial recession affecting you or your parents?
I was made redundant a few weeks ago, so it has affected me and food bills are definitely higher but I'm still here with a roof over my head and food in my belly so it's not all that bad.

5. If you had to emigrate to one country where would it be?
Australia or NZ.

6. Have you ever conquered a fear or phobia?
I have a slight fear of water. I can swim just about enough but my feet have to touch the floor or I freak. So that has never truly been conquered.

TheBig3 · 11-22-2008, 08:33 AM

1. Do you spend too much time on the internet? Yes. I don't know what constitutes "too much" but I'm sure I make the mark.

2. What actions in society provoke anger in you? Oh jesus, probably everything.

3. Can you hear the difference between a CD and an MP3? No, because I don't listen to CD's.

4. Is the worldwide financial recession affecting you or your parents? Yes, they borrow money off my poor ass, while they justify a $200 a month cable bill. This also can be written for number 2.

5. If you had to emigrate to one country where would it be? I'm not sure, I think I would go somewhere that was completly opposite of New England, If I can't go anywhere better, I might as well go somewhere warmer.

6. Have you ever conquered a fear or phobia? Yeah, small ones daily. I have to remind myself that I'm ****ing crazy and let a lot go. Its saved many a relationship.

Piss Me Off · 11-22-2008, 09:28 AM

1. Do you spend too much time on the internet?
Not as much lately, a few months ago though i was bad.
2. What actions in society provoke anger in you?
Your typical lads out on the town that feel the need to push their weight around. Not at all influenced by an incident last night

3. Can you hear the difference between a CD and an MP3?
Only because my CD player speakers are god awful.
4. Is the worldwide financial recession affecting you or your parents?
My aunt had a bit of a worry when she thought she was bankrupt due to the whole iclandic bank thing. I'm not exactly loaded anyway.
5. If you had to emigrate to one country where would it be?
Italy.
6. Have you ever conquered a fear or phobia?
Same as Bulldog, not as bad with spiders anymore.
