It has been close to 2 years since i joined RF and have decided it is time to lay myself open to questions about me and my life.

So feel free to ask anything and I'll try to answer.
Do you have hobbies such as crafts, dancing, volunteering, games, larp, mathclub etc?

It's not to bad if you consider a Lancashire accent not bad, i dont have much problem with languages.

It was difficult at first but i found that most french people are just happy if you try. I made some good friendships that way.

And its easier than thee Glasgow or the Scouse languages.
I have had people in stitches laughing at my inability to get French correct.
One that comes to mind was in a supermarket and I wanted to pay and get some "Cash back" - at the time that was a non-starter in France but I didn't know.
So, I started with "L'argent returnee" - thinking give me money back couldn't be a million miles out.
I think they thought I was demanding money, trying to rob the till. Anyway, in the nick of time an ex-pat spotted me and pointed me at a cash machine.

What is your taste in music?

Do you have a favorite heavy metal band?

Why do you think that the United Kingdom has been so successful at producing some of the greatest Rock n Roll artist ever, considering Rock n Roll and Blues are essentially American creations?

I rank the Who, Led Zeppelin and the Yardbirds as three of the most important bands in Rock n Roll history. What do you think?

What's your favorite color?

Have you calculated the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I have so many questions.

Seriously, you may be one of those unique people that has found a way to live life on your own terms while, at the same time, incorporating and addressing the needs of others in your life. If I am correct, that is an amazing accomplishment.

I can imagine the reaction you got.

It still is pretty much no, no here. I heard some of the larger supermarkets trialed the idea last summer, not seen it spreading though so im assuming it didnt catch on.

You say you have no religion. So why join Religious Forums? Do you want to learn about religion?

I joined RF from topix after they banned us pesky non americans. Topix was essentially a food fight and i expected similar here. I was soon educated.

I now like to learn about different religions. I like some
debates when they touch on my own knowledge. And I fight for my corner.

What is your taste in music?

Eclectic, blues, rock, classical. From Edith Piaf to Jimmi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker to YoYo Ma

Do you have a favorite heavy metal band?

Not really. There are so many good ones, GnR, Nivana, Sabbath, AC/DC, AtoZ, Deep Purple, Korn, 1000ft crutch

Why do you think that the United Kingdom has been so successful at producing some of the greatest Rock n Roll artist ever, considering Rock n Roll and Blues are essentially American creations?

The early uk rock bands emulated the american blues artists, modified and improved to Brit tastes. The mix worked

I rank the Who, Led Zeppelin and the Yardbirds as three of the most important bands in Rock n Roll history. What do you think?

All great bands. I particularly like the Who, my dad used to play them all the time, its what i was brought up with.

What's your favorite color?

All, im an artist.


Have you calculated the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

No but love spending summer evenings sitting on the balcony watching swifts dart and dive.

I have so many questions.

You made a good start
