1. Given the current climate of lifting of restrictions and mandates, but also given that whether we like it or not, Covid is still here, what precautions, if any, are you taking of your own accord?

For me, it's pretty much as it was. Wear a mask when going out, social distance and wash those hands. Cough into the elbow, no shaking hands etc etc. Already triple vaxxed but if a fourth is needed I'll be there. I think the general complacency is going to be the world's undoing.


2. What, if anything, is the most interesting shape you ever saw in a cloud?

I know they do make shapes, but I'll be damned if I ever saw one. Still, is there anything more fluffy than a cloud? If there is, I don't wanna know about it.

3. If you left school early, or didn't go on to higher education (or don't plan to) do you wish you had, and if you have done, do you feel it was a good or bad choice overall?

I did leave school early, and no, I don't regret it.

4. What is your opinion on autonomous (driverless) cars?

The only thing I experienced that comes close was being on a train in I think France which had no driver. Oh wait: it was supposed to have one? Now you tell me!

No seriously; it actually was remote-operated. I guess I didn't worry as I couldn't see there was no driver, so it wasn't as obvious. Still, I do worry about the sudden effect of a BSD on one... or one being hacked.



5. What, in general, is your preferred type of comedy?

I don't particularly like rude comedy, but good old slapstick is great. Generally I like intelligent comedy, so stuff like Frasier and the above Silicon Valley, also Stan Against Evil and Wellington Paranormal. That kind of thing. Stuff that makes you say "that's clever" while you're laughing.

6. Which of the seven dwarfs do you most identify with?

Probably Happy.
Yes I am.
I am.
Wanna fight about it?
What do you mean, there isn't a dwarf called Knobby???

I wear masks in most public spaces and tested twice a week until the government put a stop to that last week
2. What, if anything, is the most interesting shape you ever saw in a cloud?
I don't remember
3. If you left school early, or didn't go on to higher education (or don't plan to) do you wish you had, and if you have done, do you feel it was a good or bad choice overall?
It was a good choice, I learned some interesting stuff
4. What is your opinion on autonomous (driverless) cars?
If we get them to work properly then fine, but right now it seems like a stupid novelty. Just make cars environmentally friendly first, and get rid of them if you can use something like a bike instead
5. What, in general, is your preferred type of comedy?
Witty, absurd, and/or dark. How hilarious Ghost World is to me says enough.
6. Which of the seven dwarfs do you most identify with?
Dopey of course

1. Given the current climate of lifting of restrictions and mandates, but also given that whether we like it or not, Covid is still here, what precautions, if any, are you taking of your own accord?

Vaccination, masking in large crowds and stores, shutting down propaganda with facts and logic.

2. What, if anything, is the most interesting shape you ever saw in a cloud?

I once had a staring contest with a dark gap in the clouds when a man appeared there and hid when he noticed me see him.

3. If you left school early, or didn't go on to higher education (or don't plan to) do you wish you had, and if you have done, do you feel it was a good or bad choice overall?

I went to college and definitely learned a lot and met a lot of cool people, but the debt is ruining my life.

4. What is your opinion on autonomous (driverless) cars?

Another way to entrench an industry that already has too tight of a grip on the american way of life. The amount of safety PR surrounding them also makes me think that it's very far from what they frame it as (though universal driverless cars connected to each other would be safe if we further illegalize pedestrianism).

5. What, in general, is your preferred type of comedy?

Dark.

6. Which of the seven dwarfs do you most identify with?

Towelie.

FETCHER.

I seen Frankie Boyle just before Christmas in The Comedy Club. It was great because he was in practising material for his bigger show. I do like other comedy but Scottish comedians hit different for me

Do you like still game etc? Also top patter

1. Given the current climate of lifting of restrictions and mandates, but also given that whether we like it or not, Covid is still here, what precautions, if any, are you taking of your own accord?

Nothing really. I mean, I don’t go out that much, and if I do, I usually walk (instead of taking a bus or a tram), so no need to were a mask. I do wear a mask if I go into a shop or something though.

2. What, if anything, is the most interesting shape you ever saw in a cloud?

I remember an Acid Trip I had a few years back, and at the break of dawn I sat on the balcony, and looked to the sky for like two or three hours. The clouds and the rising sun looked like a plethora of fish and other sea creatures, all swimming above me. I felt like I was under water, at the very bottom of the sea, and I saw a ship passing at the top. It was all very much like a movie, like a science documentary of some sorts. And it was stunningly beautiful.

3. If you left school early, or didn't go on to higher education (or don't plan to) do you wish you had, and if you have done, do you feel it was a good or bad choice overall?

I finished high school, and then dropped out of university twice. I don’t really regret I’ve never had my master’s degree, the only thing I wished had happened is that I wish I’d actually make some friends there.

But when it comes to edication alone, I wish I went to a music school when I was a lot younger.

4. What is your opinion on autonomous (driverless) cars?

It will probably be safer on the streets I guess. But really, I couldn’t care less. **** all cars.

5. What, in general, is your preferred type of comedy?

Dark and absurd

6. Which of the seven dwarfs do you most identify with?

With something between Grumpy and Bashful

I forget all practical things you can possibly imagine. appointments, wallets, birthdays, gloves, cups of tea, absolutely anything
2. What are usually your first words on waking?
I don't say anything when I wake, but the first thing is usually saying good morning to my housemate

I don't know but probably a few weeks ago

letting my fears get in the way of going out into the world, especially when I was younger
6. If the worst happened, who would you take into your fallout shelter?
is there a person number limit? do you want a list? My mom and sister would have priority but I'd cram as many people in there as I could

As far as the fallout shelter goes, I suppose to be practical you're probably looking at maybe a max of a dozen people, given that those things are usually not much bigger than a couple of garden sheds/garages stuck together, and everyone will have to live there for some time so you don't want overcrowding.

1. What is one thing you always forget?

To pay the rent.

2. What are usually your first words on waking?

"Morning monster!" A joke about the noises Karen makes when she's woken up.

3. When did you last really cry, and for what reason?

A few weeks ago, at the ending of Black Mirror's "Metalhead". Watch it and you'll understand.

4. What would you do if someone broke into your residence?

Shit myself probably. And hide under the covers. Then wait for them to see how poor we are and when they'd gone, emerge to see what they'd left us.

5. Overall, what is your biggest regret in life?

Not pushing my writing in any sort of real, disciplined, structured way. Also Karen getting MS, but in terms of things I have control over, that.

6. If the worst happened, who would you take into your fallout shelter?

Karen and all her cuddly toys, who are all the friends I have now.
