She says: *grins* These are all easy ;o)

1. Whats at the top of your list of things to do before 40?

I don't yet have a list. The thing I want to achieve the most is to make a longer-term success of the relationship with pipsytip and to end up within a few metres of her, never mind a hundred miles.
2. Would you like to be a girl for a day, and if so, why?

Of course I would! I'd love to see things and experience things from the other side. I'm always one for wanting to experience things the same way as others... There's the changed attitudes of people towards me, there's the thing of finding for sure whether things you've heard or suspected to be true really are so. Not only the mundane (do people really hold doors open for women more than men? Would I get wolf-whistled going down the street?) but what about in bed! Could pick up some great tips :) How would it actually feel to feel people watching me walk down the street?
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

If I could choose anywhere and be with the lass, it would be the west coast of Scotland. Northerly, maybe somewhere like Mallaig. Even that might be too remote, I think I could happily live in Fort Augustus. I considered abroad somewhere, but decided that there's too much choice and I could never decide ;)
4. Favourite film ever?

I've got so many... Lost in Translation, Bridge on the River Kwai, Bladerunner, Hero, 2001: A Space Oddysey, Sin City. I don't seriously think I could choose one favourite. The one I know better than any other is Lost in Translation, the one I've seen most often is 2001.
5. Whats your favourite word in the English language?

It has to be a choice between:
Moist. Such a filthy word in such an innocent guise!
Lugubrious. A sad word but somehow silly - (exaggeratedly or affectedly mournful)
Effervescent. Bubbly :)

Questions from clarisinda

1. Do you think you will ever return to live in Scotland?

Yes. I will make/have made this my ultimate goal. I don't care when, I don't care where - but I will end up living somewhere north of the border. Hopefully not too far into the future!
2. If you had to go on an adventure holiday, what kind would you choose?

I'm not big on adventure these days, mainly due to not having the money! I have to base it on what I've done in the past. I really enjoyed gully walking in Dalguise (nr Perth)... I love off-road driving so maybe a safari or rally adventure holiday would be the way to go?
3. What would be your ideal (yet realistic) job?

I want to be a 'product owner' as it's known in the support biz. I want to be ultimately responsible for one service, or a group of services. This would encompass not only the ultimate support of this service, but future development of this service and ensuring it's future survival.
4. Do/did you play any sports or other physical activities?

Whilst at school I played rugby. Lots. We played all season, we practised 3 nights a week. I was fit, I could do a full pitch shuttle run (dead ball line->try line->dead ball->22mtr line->dead ball line->10mtr line->dead ball->half-way->dead ball->10mtr->dead ball->22mtr->dead ball->try line->dead ball->dead ball->end) without breaking much of a sweat. I WANT to get back into it. I want desperately to do it. There's even a local team that I know about.



The problem I have is working changable shifts - I can't commit to games, I can't commit to practices, I can't commit to anything long-term. But I want to play again.

5. How do you plan to spend your retirement?

My retirement will hopefully be a time of relative easy financial burden, spent travelling and emjoying myself around the world.
