✨Highlights and Bombshells💥

Nothing to do with him. The Online Safety Bill was raised under the last bunch of bell-ends.

The original online safety act of 2023 was the last government, but the 2 amendments 17th March and 25th July, are from the current government.

They are all bell-ends in my opinion.

Someone is going to say it. It might as well be me.

 

[Mei5ter]

Well. This has all been a bit of an anticlimax, really

 

[deft]

Questionnaire​

Let’s (high)lighten the mood! I love a good questionnaire, especially one that allows for some creativity. Below you will find 20 questions. Yes, 20. That’s a lot. You do not have to answer all 20. You can answer whichever ones you want to answer. We won’t judge.

1. Do you make wishes on your birthday candles before blowing them out? Would you care to share what your last birthday wish was?

Not for a long time. Nor do I typically wish upon a star.

1. You discover a spider in your kitchen. What do you do?

Call my wife to deal with it cause she doesn’t like when I squish them.

1. What is your favorite comfort meal?

In the summer probably a gooey PB&J on a thick slab of white bread. In the winter I do love some butternut squash soup.

1. What is something about which people have a misconception?

so many things. Everyone thinks they’re a better than average driver, lover and intellect. And really almost everyone is average at everything. And that’s okay

1. Where do you feel the most at peace?

By the river

1. Finish this sentence. My favorite _____ is ______.

Director, Kogonada

1. What are you looking forward to?

I don’t know. It’s sort of an issue at this juncture in my life tbh.

1. What was your last memorable encounter with something found in nature?

We had otters on our dock last summer! I’m so sad I haven’t seen any this year!

1. Hidden talents or hobbies? Something you are trying to master?

I’m very….superficial in my interests and hobbies. I don’t master things, I dabble.

1. If you could make grilled cheese sandwiches with anyone alive or dead, who would it be? And what is your grilled cheese recipe?

I don’t eat grilled cheese but I’ll have a PB&J with Albert Camus. PB smooth as the two of us would be.

1. Who are your heroes or heroines, real or fictional?

I don’t take heroes as a rule. Even people with great ideas and/or who do good things are often deeply flawed.

And I’d never take a two dimensional representation as anything other than an idea I’d like to embrace. Most fictional chatacters I’m thinking of typically serve as counter examples anyway

1. Are you optimistic about the future?

In the short term….not really…I think we’re kinda in a bad place and it’s gonna take a lot of work and probable sacrifice from folks who don’t like sacrifice to make it better.

In the long term? I mean..:the earths gonna keep spinning no matter what we do.

1. What is a smell that stops you in your tracks?

Grilled onions and peppers….yum yum yum

1. If you could come back as any organism, what would you come back as?

Bonobo. Duh. No other answer makes a lick of sense.

1. What is something new you’ve done recently

Nothing….

1. What's a small, seemingly insignificant thing that brings you immense joy or comfort

Nothing that brings joy is insignificant. But the example that leaps immediately to mind is the thump of my dogs tail when I come in and she’s too tired or hot or lazy to get up but still so happy to have me around.

1. What's a goal or dream you've been hesitant to pursue? What's holding you back, and what's one small step you can take towards it?

I just took that leap last year.

1. If you could write a letter of appreciation to someone who deeply impacted your life, who would it be and what would you say?

So many educators throughout my life. I’ve connected with some of them over the last decade or so. But my 6th grade teacher passed away a while ago. He was OLD when he taught me.

I did happen to randomly be in a D&D group 20 years ago with someone who was married to a teacher that taught with him his last year before he retired. She said he was admired and beloved his last year too. So that is nice.

1. Describe a time when you experienced a deep connection or understanding with another person. What made that moment special?

Oh jeez…

1. If your life had a theme song, what would it be and why?

We need some theme music.

What are some songs that remind you of the UK?

When I was in London several years ago (same year Prince Charles and Lady Diana got married) this was played every were! So when ever I hear it I think about that week.

 

[Cogan]

And when this came on the tv here in Sweden you knew something fun or exciting was about to be on.

Not for the song, well... actually,the words are quite suggestive but for the movie.

And it seems so on point here...
