MISCELLANY:

If you were stranded on a tropical island, what three things would you want with you?

1) My girlfriend (I have no problem calling her a "thing", it's a common term of endearment).
2) My record collection (+ player, + power source).
3) Air conditioning.

Thin Elvis or Fat Elvis: Dead Elvis. Who cares?

What is your greatest desire right now: That all drivers who pay insufficient attention to pedestrians be gibbeted on the nearest lamp-post.

What pisses you off the most: The gullibility of the public.

What has the exact opposite effect: Probably just my very favourite music, and being with others who are even better at taking the piss than I am.

Anything else you want to say that you don't feel is covered above: Ekki ekki ekki f'tang zip-boing!
