| I do. Maybe a couple of times per month. I prefer to vape THC oil these days. I have always found it a preferable intoxicant to alcohol. I particularly enjoy the way it enhances sensory input, such as taste and sound. I also love to do yoga when high as I am able to achieve deep stretches I cannot o... |

Someone painted it white and left it floating in the North Atlantic. Then the Titanic crashed into it.
Why didn't the Olympic sink? |

| It's going to depend very much on how badly omicron impacts on the NHS. The only reason the UK ever locked down was to protect the NHS. I can't help but conclude that Bojo's sudden concern about Omicron is more about improving his headlines than anything else. Not that a wave isn't coming, but we kn... |

| No, I don't drink. I used to, particularly when I worked in publishing, as a way to socialise but I was always uncomfortable with it. I did quite like whiskeys and bourbons. In my early teens I would tell people I was allergic to alcohol as a way of avoiding it. Ironically, I now do seem to have dev... |

| Ever heard of this? It's easier to raise a strong child than to fix a broken man. I'm still frustrated, somewhere deep down that someone failed at the former, and having to deal with the latter myself because of it. I think that might be at the heart of why it appeals to me to go back but only on t... |

| This is obviously a satire of a certain type of Christmas song as well as the commercialisation of the season, but I actually get a fairly genuine Christmas buzz off it because someone had lent me the Monty Python CD around Christmas time one year in my early teens, so it takes me back. Warning: con... |

| Oh it sank alright, but it was actually a simple navigation error. The ship was slightly off-course for New York. A straightforward command to 'turn left at the next iceberg' was somehow misinterpreted as 'go straight downwards'. But I'm happy to be corrected if you'd care to answer the... Same ques... |

| Sometimes. In general I try to avoid sugar and caffeine which rules out most of what we call 'fizzy' drinks in the UK. I occasionally drink Pepsi Max if I want a caffeine jolt. I've tried the caffeine and sugar free versions but they taste a bit too synthetic to me and I don't like all the artificia... |

I can do it, but it's pretty awful and hard to read. I had to have special lessons at school to try to improve it. Didn't take. I prefer to write in block caps or sometimes a random combination of both.
How tall are you? |

| In the early 1900s, shortly after the invention of refrigerators there was a boom in novelty fridge magnet production. When demand proved significantly less than anticipated, some 14 billion fridge magnets were dumped in the north atlantic. Titanic was unfortunate enough to pass directly over the du... |

| On predestination I'm quite enamoured of the idea that everything is predestined and the work of the higher brain is mainly retroactively justifying what just happened as the result of a 'choice' we made. I also like to think that our lives are little time loops and when we die we are immediately bo... |

| Child abusers are often people who were abused themselves as children. But not necessarily. So you have to consider the possibility that for some it's a sexual orientation, albeit a thoroughly unacceptable one in any civilised society. Personally, I think the way society reacts to paedophiles by dem... |
