Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • What is a book that you will gladly read again?

    Jump

  • There’s some good (and also some inexplicable to me) books here already so I won’t mention any of them.

    I’ll choose P. G. Wodehouse. Although he’s more famous for Jeeves and Wooster I much prefer his Blandings stories. Such sublime, perfection.

    His writing seems so effortlessly easy but others who have attempted to emulate it have all fallen ugly, leaden, clumsy and short of his comic genius.

  • Do you like the taste of vinegar? Does anyone?

    Jump

  • Love it. Quite apart from the subline perfection of vinegar on fish and chips, I love a good vinaigrette salad dressing. I could drink that. And salt and vinegar crisps are top tier (although Walkers1 Pickled Onion are even sharper). I also like pickles of almost all sorts.

    1 Walkers are, of course, deeply suspect. Salt and Vinegar should be in a blue packet, not a green packet!

  • What are the best airports?

    Jump

  • Back in 2012 my family and I flew home to the UK from Portugal and landed at London City.

    We happened to be on the same flight as the UK Olympic athletics team. All super nice people. Better still, because of the athletes we got a priority passport control queue and the quickest baggage reclaim I've ever experienced - the bags were on the carousel before we even got there.

    So, yeah, really enjoyed London City Airport but I definitely recommend flying with a team of Olympeans whenever possible.

  • Do you prefer cut or uncut?

    Jump

  • Uncut, for sure. I like a good thick slice of saucisson and when it comes precut its always too thin.

  • I'm a straight guy who wants to be cute, not handsome. Can I still be attractive despite choosing to be unmanly?

  • You do you. Someone will love you and it's better that they love you than a you you're pretending to be.

  • How many eggs can you eat before you feel full?

    Jump

  • Definitely. I’ve done a full English breakfast challenge once that had six fried eggs and that was no bother. Hard-boiled, I doubt I could do more than three and I’d be struggling on the third.

  • Which brands do actually care about a healthy customer relationship more than profit?

    Jump

  • Saddleback Leather springs to mind. Their stuff is expensive but they have a 100 year warranty and their tag line is "They'll fight over it when you're dead". I have a couple of their bags, belts, and wallets. I don't expect to ever need to replace them.

    First thing I bought from them was a briefcase back in 2011. About three years after I bought it one of the steel D-Rings for the strap failed and they paid courier fees for me to return the briefcase from the UK, replaced the part, cleaned the bag up, and sent it back, no questions asked.

    Full disclosure: 1) they're an American company which might put some off buying in the current climate and 2) the founder is a devout Christian which might put others off but none of their products have ever tried to make me a believer so I'm ok with it.

  • do you hate AI generated art? why?

    Jump

  • Art is an attempt to communicate (usually to communicate something of the human condition). Current 'art' AI is too far away from intelligence to have anything to communicate. All it can do is mindlessly try to copy and blend what it's seen before without understanding it.

    I don't hate it, but I also don't value it.

  • What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)

  • Best breakfast burrito: the Hawaiian. Ham, potatoes, pineapple, eggs, sour cream.

    Damn, that sounds good.
