The Saturday 6-Pack

Plankton · 07-23-2022, 09:36 AM

1. What's one thing you hate about summer?

Skeeters

2. What was the last thing you physically mailed?

Some tax info.

3. On balance, do you prefer traditional petrol/diesel cars, hybrid or electric?

I just traded my 5.7 Hemi for a 1.8 twin turbo and I'm not too fond of having to turn my AC off to get up a hill now. I'd like my Hemi back please. lol Tesla Paid's are nice too.

4. How would you characterise the health system in your country/state?

Trash

5. Somewhat similar to a question asked a few weeks ago, but with a twist: If YOU were ruling a country, or in charge of one, would you be a benevolent or an oppressive leader?

Let them eat cake.

6. What was your first ever pet?

A hound dog named Beauregard.

7. Spearmint, peppermint or no mint?

All the mint.

8. Name one food item which is no longer available that you would love to see back again?

All the foods I eat are available. I don't eat sweets much and hardly any fast food or junk food, but the MCD's Daily Double was something I'd get a lot.

9. If you're old enough to remember, what precautions, if any, did you take for Y2K?

Nothing really. My daughter and me had a sleepover at my parents place that NYE though.

10. How do you store your music, generally and if you like, historically too?

Ext. HD now.

Historically: In my closet, albums in a pile and cassette's/8-tracks in cases. Then, CD's in cases.

11. Someone gives you a gun. You will not be let go alive unless you shoot one person. There will be absolutely no legal or criminal comeback. Once you shoot your target you will be free, legally and in reality. Who do you choose (can be anyone, as long as they're still alive), or do you refuse and take the consequences?

It's been a good run. Bye.

12. If you can remember, what was your first post on Music Banter?

First Post

Thank you for your service.

I was thinking recently that it must be getting tiresome for you. You done well

1. What's one thing you hate about summer?

Midges

2. What was the last thing you physically mailed?

An appeal to HMRC

3. On balance, do you prefer traditional petrol/diesel cars, hybrid or electric?

Petrol/diesel but electric cars are getting better as they go

4. How would you characterise the health system in your country/state?

Pretty damn good

5. Somewhat similar to a question asked a few weeks ago, but with a twist: If YOU were ruling a country, or in charge of one, would you be a benevolent or an oppressive leader?

I’d like to say benevolent but you never know, might get drunk on power

6. What was your first ever pet?

A good old mutt, don’t seem to get mutts these days

7. Spearmint, peppermint or no mint?

Spearmint

8. Name one food item which is no longer available that you would love to see back again?

The original Turkey twizlers

**** Jamie Oliver

9. If you're old enough to remember, what precautions, if any, did you take for Y2K?

Too young to remember it, I had to Google what it was

10. How do you store your music, generally and if you like, historically too?

Historically on my laptop/computer. Now I use Spotify but have some records I keep in my livingroom

11. Someone gives you a gun. You will not be let go alive unless you shoot one person. There will be absolutely no legal or criminal comeback.

Poo tin

12. If you can remember, what was your first post on Music Banter?

I think it would have been my intro post

The Batlord · 07-23-2022, 08:10 PM

1. What's one thing you hate about summer?

Humidity. I sweat like a pig. Global warming is a personal attack on my underwear.

2. What was the last thing you physically mailed?

No idea. Who mails things?

3. On balance, do you prefer traditional petrol/diesel cars, hybrid or electric?

I would prefer public transit. Personal vehicles for everyone is an idiotic entitlement. Some will need them regardless like in rural areas but the gas vs. electric car debate is a false dichotomy.

4. How would you characterise the health system in your country/state?

American.

5. Somewhat similar to a question asked a few weeks ago, but with a twist: If YOU were ruling a country, or in charge of one, would you be a benevolent or an oppressive leader?

Lazy. My advisors would bleed the country dry while I did nothing.

6. What was your first ever pet?

My cat Stripey. Awful cat. Loved him.

7. Spearmint, peppermint or no mint?

Mint is for chicks.

8. Name one food item which is no longer available that you would love to see back again?

Human.

9. If you're old enough to remember, what precautions, if any, did you take for Y2K?

Didn't. Was dumb and I was a kid.

10. How do you store your music, generally and if you like, historically too?

On my phone but historically on an external hard drive.

11. Someone gives you a gun. You will not be let go alive unless you shoot one person. There will be absolutely no legal or criminal comeback. Once you shoot your target you will be free, legally and in reality. Who do you choose (can be anyone, as long as they're still alive), or do you refuse and take the consequences?

John Doyle. You know that anti-drag queen protest a few weeks ago in Texas? He was the dude with the bullhorn telling the cops they should just shoot the drag queens. There are people of more consequence but I don't think there's any right wing scumbag who makes me feel more like they are loathsome subhuman trash who deserve to be ended. Nick Fuentes is more of a human being than John Doyle.

12. If you can remember, what was your first post on Music Banter?

I remember the first time I went to Europe ( I am from the USA) and the fact that all the prices everywhere in Italy were the ACTUAL price and not excluding tax was amazing. Never understood how that became the standard in the US, it so greasy.

Anyways **** them taxes.

To be fair, anyone who"prepared " for y2k doing anything aside from having a big ass party was an idiot.

Trollheart · 07-23-2022, 09:15 PM

Thanks guys. It's been fun, but I think I'm burned out now.

1. What's one thing you hate about summer?

God-damn insects, especially the bane of human existence, bluebottles.

2. What was the last thing you physically mailed?

A request to stop sending Karen appointments for breast checks. Really hard to cash them, you know.

3. On balance, do you prefer traditional petrol/diesel cars, hybrid or electric?

Electric I guess. Not being a driver I don't really know, but if electric cuts down on pollution that's good, and if it makes oil barons cry then it's even better. Plus they're supposed to be quieter? I do wonder though, how someone would react if they woke up late for work to find there had been a power cut, and their car was out of power!

4. How would you characterise the health system in your country/state?

Great if you're rich and can afford to go private, a living hell otherwise.

5. Somewhat similar to a question asked a few weeks ago, but with a twist: If YOU were ruling a country, or in charge of one, would you be a benevolent or an oppressive leader?

Benevolent until I realised it takes money to do stuff, then I'd be Hitler.

6. What was your first ever pet?

The first I can remember is our border collie, Rocky. He ran away.

7. Spearmint, peppermint or no mint?

Peppermint. If I'm feeling queasy it's my go-to; great when you have to stand for hours by your sister's trolley in the A&E in the heat and nobody will give you a chair.

8. Name one food item which is no longer available that you would love to see back again?

Two and Two bars. I've spoken of these before. They were: milk chocolate on top, fudge and cream in between and dark chocolate underneath. In a bar.

9. If you're old enough to remember, what precautions, if any, did you take for Y2K?

None. I was pretty sure it was all crap anyway, and what could I do? I think the office spent a bundle though, and were quite disappointed when jets stubbornly refused to fall from the sky.

10. How do you store your music, generally and if you like, historically too?

Historically, on racks and now on my PC. In folders, alphabetically by artist.

11. Someone gives you a gun. You will not be let go alive unless you shoot one person. There will be absolutely no legal or criminal comeback. Once you shoot your target you will be free, legally and in reality. Who do you choose (can be anyone, as long as they're still alive), or do you refuse and take the consequences?

So long, Senor Trump! No second term for you!

And finally, before I bow out,

12. If you can remember, what was your first post on Music Banter?

Some stupid thing about a music game I had made.

2. What’s the smallest thing that scares you?
Black holes.
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?
Reincarnation for Marilyn Monroe.
4. Do you prefer a keyboard that is very tactile and makes sounds, or one that is soft and silent?
Why on earth do you want to know?
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?
There’s already too much chaos and it’s not amusing.
6. What would you consider humanity’s finest hour?
Its extinction.

Trollheart · 07-24-2022, 06:01 AM

Man, you are just full of fun, aren't you? I bet you're a hit at parties!

How are you RezZ?

Yeah when we buy things the tax is included as well (UK) but it is a massive oversight from when I was self employed. I thought I had notified them I was in full time employment but it seems I did not so I’m appealing charges for late filing fees

it’s a lot of money so I would appreciate if you all could pray for me

The Great Pixie will be watching over you. I burned some ceremonial mushrooms in the garden - or was that the neighbour's kid's toy figure of Superman?? Well, something anyway.
