OK sh8888, here are your 60 Second questions :

what was the last takeaway meal you had and when?

A few weeks ago. I committed the cardinal sin of having a Doner Kebab whilst totally sober. They usually taste shockingly bad without 15 pints of beer to persuade you otherwise .... but this one was actually delicious.
Even more surprising, it wasn't served by some suspiciously swarthy bloke with a dubious immigration status and a faux-Mockney accent using phrases such as "Awright, geez" or "chilli sauce with it, innit".


if you could commit a crime, that you would definitely get away with, and no one else ever knowing it was you, would you do it?

Probably not. However, for a dictionary definition of the character your situation describes, look up 'Prime Minister'...... they've been getting away with it for decades.


if you could click your fingers and instantly transform into an animal on the planet, which would you be and why?

A Polar Bear.
They're as cool as you like, as smart as you like, and as hard as you like.
A crying shame that they will probably be extinct within 200 years.

where would be your ideal holiday destination?

Several.
Australia is great, although the long flight is as boring as hell.

Any country in Scandinavia would be good .... but I'd take a beige-ometer with me, just to monitor background dullness levels.

Some of the Arabs states are interesting .... in a primitively medieval way.

Probably Japan .... rural Japan would be very novel, and the contrast with places such as Tokyo and Kyoto would be fascinating.
I'd give Hiroshima a miss though, too similar to Birmingham for my liking.

what quirky habit do you have, and how long have you had it?

I was born with an incurable disease, the world's finest doctors have no solutions, only a diagnosis. The medical term for it is .... being a sarcastic bastard.

you know for certain that your best mate's wife is having an affair - she swears she will never do it again, and you know if you tell him, it will totally devastate him. Do you tell him or not?

Yeah, I'd tell him. I'd also promise to stop shagging her.

if you werent English, would you rather be Scottish, German or American?

Crikey, what did I do to you !

Scottish ? .... plus points :- square sausage, haggis, deep-fried everything (including training shoes, probably), Irn Bru
minus points :- blokes wearing checked skirts (sooooo wrong !), being ginger, one day of sunshine per century

German ? .... minus points :- errr, none, or else I'll get banned by the German Admin
plus points :- Black Forest Gateau, Bratwurst, Porsches, AMG Mercs, Alpina Beemers ,German Efficiency ....... and a language that is oh so easy to learn (yeah, right )

American ? plus points :- speak the same language .... err, oh no, forget that one
minus points :- baseball , basketball , Nascar

Hmm, if French was on the list, I'd go for that because the language is easier.
But out of those 3, I'll go for German ...... I think the concept of Grammar/Spelling & Vocabulary Police would be well received by the alles in ordnung Germans.

what song from your childhood always makes you smile?

Popcorn ! ..... sounds like it was recorded on a 'Stylophone', but who cares..... lol, reminds me of Kraftwerk too ..... I really am becoming German




if you could excel at any one sport, which would you choose?

Professional Cycling.
But more Road Racing than Track Racing.
If anyone ever descended at 70 mph+ or rode along in the middle of a 150+ rider bunch at 45+ mph .... it would immediately become apparent what fun it is.

which TV talent show would you go on if you absolutely had to - and you know you would be shown extensively? X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Strictly Come Dancing?

I've watched about 10 minutes of each of those shows. 'Talent' is a misnomer in the show's title. And people such as Simon Cowell should have an apple stuck in his mouth whilst being slowly and sadistically executed in front of cheering crowds outside the gates of Buckingham Palace.

p.s. Ice Skating is for Girls. Dancing is for Girls and Southerners.

which type of death fills you with fear the most? Drowning, Burning, Suffocation?

The Pedant in me thinks that Drowning and Suffocating are more-or-less the same thing.
However, I think that burning would not only be the most painful, but also take the greatest length of time .... so a double whammy in many respects.
I don't fear great pain though, I'm used to it .... there are 2/3 Forum Posters in RZA whose contributions often fill me with excruciating pain.

which superhero power would you have if you could choose just one of : superhuman strength, you could fly, x ray vision, invisibility

Invisibility would be great.
But I'd use it mischievously.
I'd fly to Germany, sneak into Admin's house, wait until he went to the fridge for a cold Guinness and then the computer would be all mine ........ MOTY would disappear, a new Offensive formation would arrive entitled 'The Darkwing', Forum bans would be dished out like confetti, and Forum whiners would receive a crossbow bolt to the head (for financial reasons, I might limit that to non-Supporters .... you could think of it as a 'supporter benefit' )

I also couldn't resist using my new-found Invisibility to stand behind Bwadders76 and say "Oi Fat Boy, do something about that Brummy accent, it's execrable, sort it out "

thanks sh8888.....sorry i couldnt be bothered to put in all the smilies!!

LOL

Scared now...

MTS, the question was hypothetical, true?

No worries, Preachie. From now on I will encrypt all related data with a super duper high security password...

Totally hypothetical Pete.....

isnt it????

Pete he didn't say anything about helping himself to your guiness so you need not worry
