davywavy1) describe your perfect day?
Sunny day, fast car, lying in long grass by water staring at the sky, good book, Baron Munchausen with intelligent & witty competition, food, bed.
2) when are you going to publish Vietnam Bloodbath?
When I have a pile of money that I don't mind never seeing again. See question 5.
3) Tony Martin: saint or sinner?
Man with a gun. Neither Saint nor Sinner, but somewhere in between. Completely justified in his actions.
4) How do you think other people see you and how much does it differ from the real you?
That depends on the person seeing me; 'Aryan poster boy'? 'Twat'? 'Genius'? All comments that I've had made about me recently, at least one of them by someone who doesn't know that I know they said it :)
Like any person I'm a complex conglomeration of facets, and people see different ones at different times resulting in them seeing me in different ways. In addition, it's human nature to interpret the actions of others in the light of our own attitudes, so how people see me - and the aspects of the me they see - is in some way a reflection of themselves in the same way that the aspects I see of others are in some way reflections of parts of me.
I actually find this sort of question astonishingly difficult to answer; I spend most of my life confused and unsure as to how other people see me and so crysallising my opinions is astonishingly difficult. Ultimately, I decided that it's something that I'm best off not worrying about it; there are 6,000,000,000 people out there and if a few of them don't like me then there's bound to be other people with rather better taste.
5) You just got given £1,000,000 (tax free): what do you do with it?
Put it all in a big pile of £5 notes & gloat over it, all the while muttering 'Mine! Mine! All mine!"
Buy a new tent (Spot the quote).
£600,000k to invest aggressively.
£100,000k to save the tiger.
£100,000k to spend in the most pointless & ostentatious fashion possible.
£100,000 on fast cars, women and booze.
I'd waste the rest.
I wouldn't give anything to poor kids. Screw them.
Anyone want questioning by me?
