M I S C
Pirates or ninjas? Pirates, durhrhrhr...
Black or white? Black, it traps heat (and other useful things besides)
Fork or spoon? Is this a trick question?

///

Can you cook? Sausages, yes.
Who was your childhood hero? Why? I can't remember having a childhood hero. Sorry. Why? Because my memory is awful.
Which is your favourite button on your stereo? This sounds like another trick question...
If I told you the answer was 'orange juice', what would the question be? "What do you drink out of a carton?"
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side (amazing how so many people don't know the answer to that question, must be something wrong with the education system)
What never fails to make you laugh? Dlyan Moran in Channel Four's 'Black Books'...
What one thing could I do which would annoy you to no end? erm, saying 'Dunroamin' or that thing Al Pacino keeps saying in 'The Scent Of A Woman'
Most embarassing thing which happened to you at a restaurant?
What one thing are you completely hopeless at? Buttering bread.
Write a haiku about yourself:

"Alex wants to be cool
He wants to be, cool as you
Alex craves ginger nuts"

Show/Tell us something interesting about your family: Erm, they all have the same last name?

S O C I A L
Would you call yourself popular? Why? Why would i call myself popular? I dunno...
What's the most important element in any relationship? You're supposed to say 'trust', right? Erm, trust...
Seriously, though - i wouldn't know, having never been in a relationship.

V I E W S
Fascism vs Democracy: Democracy, though I'm a socialist in thought... btw it's very rude to ask somebody about their political views...
Human cloning: Well, we haven't achieved it yet. I'd support the 'cloning' of organs, but not whole people.
File-sharing: 's fine. I think it's kinda bad if people get a whole album (that's on general release) in mp3s, but i can accept people ripping mp3s of B sides and such...
Transsexuals: Well, if they're comfortable with their new gender, why shouldn't i be?
Abortion: I'm not too happy if a woman would want to murder her unborn child, but if it's a scenario where the baby being born will kill the mother, or if the mother can't afford to keep the baby (in extreme cases), i could accept it - then again, being a bloke - what do i really have to say in such matters?
