1. What honours/diplomas/degrees etc do you hold, or, how did you end school/college in terms of honours etc?

I have a bachelor's degree in communications, I'd like to go back for an English degree though.

2. Who is your favourite fictional character?

Not sure, Withnail I guess.

3. What’s the longest you’ve even been awake, without any sleep?

40 hours on a fishing crew.

4. A bird flies into your house/room/apartment/office: what do you do?

Open the door for the rest of the animals to clean this place up.

5. I guess not so much now, or maybe, but when you buy or used to buy books, if your favourite author had a new one out, did you go for the hardback or wait until it came out in paperback?

Not usually but I'm pretty interested in one of the Cormac McCarthy books dropping this year. I bought Charlie Kaufman's book in a heartbeat too.

6. What’s your opinion, generally, on advertisements/ commercials?

Overly influential in consumerist mindsets, manufactures problems to sell a solution, and annoying to boot. **** em.

I didn’t go to uni or anything but finished high school with a couple of highers and done 2 years of college which didn’t amount to much before I left and got a job

2. Who is your favourite fictional character?

Fictional would probably be Arya Stark bit cliche but I LIVED for game of thrones before they ****ed that up.

3. What’s the longest you’ve even been awake, without any sleep?

Probably about 48hrs, cocaine is a helluva drug

4. A bird flies into your house/room/apartment/office: what do you do?

Catch it and set it free before it ****s all over everything.

5. I guess not so much now, or maybe, but when you buy or used to buy books, if your favourite author had a new one out, did you go for the hardback or wait until it came out in paperback?

I haven’t really bought or read books as they are being released but I would go for hardback.

6. What’s your opinion, generally, on advertisements/ commercials?

I find it annoying that they influence people to spend money on **** they don’t need. It’s actually quite sad. Especially hate Instagram influencers that try to sell you the weirdest crap.

1. What other race/ethnicity would you like to have been born as, or are you happy as you are?

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you?

3. If a genie gave you one wish, but there was a catch - you could only wish for something for someone else, not yourself - what would you wish for, and for whom?

4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?

5. Just for fun, if you could rearrange the countries of the world, which would you put alongside which to cause the most chaos/amusement?

6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?

1. What other race/ethnicity would you like to have been born as, or are you happy as you are? There is no proper answer to that question. Any answer will be construed as racist by somebody.

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you? Brain eating bacteria

3. If a genie gave you one wish, but there was a catch - you could only wish for something for someone else, not yourself - what would you wish for, and for whom?

I'd wish for the proverbial heart for half the world but since we can only limit it to one person, I'd go with Putin (All of my loved ones are dead I'm afraid)

4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?

I'm old school so probably something with no frills.

5. Just for fun, if you could rearrange the countries of the world, which would you put alongside which to cause the most chaos/amusement?

Ireland and Russia (I'm in such an evil mood)

6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?

I don't know. Maybe the Berlin Wall coming down?

1. What other race/ethnicity would you like to have been born as, or are you happy as you are?

Well that's... not a weird question at all I'm happy as I am.

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you?

SARS-CoV-2 is pretty small.

3. If a genie gave you one wish, but there was a catch - you could only wish for something for someone else, not yourself - what would you wish for, and for whom?

I'd wish for a pile of money for the gf.

4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?

Give me something tactile every time.

5. Just for fun, if you could rearrange the countries of the world, which would you put alongside which to cause the most chaos/amusement?

I'd give the US and the UK a land border. Presumably there would be no destructive result, and the banter would be fun.

6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?

Eradicating smallpox was a pretty impressive example of international cooperation in the middle of the Cold War. Let's go with that.

1. What other race/ethnicity would you like to have been born as, or are you happy as you are?

Happy as I am but wouldn’t mind a slightly better tan/sunnier country to live in.

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you?

Slugs.

3. If a genie gave you one wish, but there was a catch - you could only wish for something for someone else, not yourself - what would you wish for, and for whom?

I’d wish that my boyfriends mum didn’t carry the Huntingtons gene. That way his mum, him or his siblings wouldn’t be at risk or be carriers.

4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?

Soft and silent.

5. Just for fun, if you could rearrange the countries of the world, which would you put alongside which to cause the most chaos/amusement?

Scotland and New Zealand so my friend living there wasn’t so far away!

6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?

The end of WWII and Auschwitz being liberated. I was at Auschwitz just last month so this sticks out most.

When we built them pretty gothic cathedrals

1. What other race/ethnicity would you like to have been born as, or are you happy as you are?

I already got the right one.

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you?

My dick. Thankfully I haven't seen it in years.

3. If a genie gave you one wish, but there was a catch - you could only wish for something for someone else, not yourself - what would you wish for, and for whom?

I wish Barrack Obama could only speak and write in Arabic.

4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?

Silent. Typewriters sound cool but keyboards sound annoying.

5. Just for fun, if you could rearrange the countries of the world, which would you put alongside which to cause the most chaos/amusement?

I'd make Japan border Mexico just to drive the Japanese nuts.

6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?

Space travel.

1. What other race/ethnicity would you like to have been born as, or are you happy as you are?

I'm happy as I am. I wish I didn't sun burn so easily. That's one of the biggest drawbacks of being white as a ghost.

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you?

A bullet.

3. If a genie gave you one wish, but there was a catch - you could only wish for something for someone else, not yourself - what would you wish for, and for whom?

I wish my boy would take a liking to skating and hockey. He is named after a hall of famer, after all.

4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?

I need my Microsoft natural keyboard. If it was silent or tactile, I wouldn't care.

5. Just for fun, if you could rearrange the countries of the world, which would you put alongside which to cause the most chaos/amusement?

I'd surround Canada with Australia, England and Japan. It would mean I could travel way less to visit those places.

6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?

The wheel. It's such an important invention, that people constantly try to reinvent it.
