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?

Re: Go on
Date: 2003-08-18 02:16 am (UTC)2: Would you rather be rich & bored or poor & interested?
3: What was the least appetising thing you ever ate?
4: What true fact about yourself would you tell a girl in order to impress her?
5: Three surgeons and a clumsy cook go camping in the remote wilderness. The clumsy cook stumbles over the campfire as he is serving the surgeons, injuring himself and dumping hot stew on the hands of the surgeons.
The cook's injuries need surgical treatment. The surgeons' injuries are minor but open. It turns out they brought the equipment necessary for the cook's surgery with them, and they can use the campfire to sterilize the tools. But there are only two rubber gloves. Because of the different surgeons' skills, all three of the surgeons are needed to operate on the cook, in sequence.
How can this be done without any of them being exposed to the blood of any of the others?
Re: Go on
1a. Honestly, probably Swiss Chocolates, Kisses, Hugs, Pictures, and other gifts unmentionable. ;-)
2. How about rich & interested? No, well, probably rich & bored then...I've seen genuine poverty, and any interest would quickly be extinguished by grinding, driving, need.
3. Sea slug.
4. When it comes to impressing the opposite sex, I rarely resort to a mere singular discrete item...more like a complex of strategy and tactics. ;-) I dunno, probably admit to my world travels and living...
5. Damn logic problems! ;-p OK, here's a shot:
One surgeon each takes a glove, using an ungloved hand for a long tool/instrument. The 3rd surgeon does likewise, without any gloves.
or...
The third surgeon uses one of the gloves that has been carefully removed by one of the other surgeons for their phase of the operation. Or, wears the reused glove, inverted, exposing himself to the blood of the cook, but protecting the patient from his own wounds.
or...
Tell the damn cook to go fuck himself, the bastard, and attend to their own wounds. ;-)
