21 Questions...

This has been going around (like the flu) so I thought I would have a go! Brace yourselves...

1. Favorite Wargaming period and why?

I am a massive fan of any wargaming where my imagination can run riot creating colorful characters and factions. It also has to allow me to insert lots of silliness. Post Apocalyptic, Sci-Fi and VSF/Steampunk. VSF Steampunk also get some extra as you get to make silly machines and other what not.

2. Next period, money no object?

It would be massive investment in VSF. I have wayyyy too many ideas in my nut for that setting. I also fancy a stone age setting.

3. Favourite 5 films?

Mad Max 1-3 (I know I am cheating but hey!)

Alien (s)

Doomsday

Serenity

Life of Brian

4. Favourite 5 TV series?

Firefly

True Blood

Father Ted

Blackadder

How I met your Mother.

If I cheat I would add Monty Python too.

5. Favourite book and author?

I thought this was going to be difficult as I love books and read quite a bit. But it has to be Terry Pratchett. I cant pick my favourite book by him.

Metro 2033, Killing moon and the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness are also contenders.

6. Greatest General? Can’t count yourself!!

Genghis Khan?

7. Favourite Wargames rules?

Neutron York 3000, Skank and Nuclear Renaissance 2.

8. Favourite Sport and team?

Not really a sports fan. I quite like Rugby but I am not a fan. I dont support a team. If Football (soccer) then I have to support Everton by default...or my wife will kill me! lol!

9. If you had a only use once time machine, when and where would you go?

Oooohhhhh so many times. Early Iron Age Britain maybe. Or Mongolia to meet Genghis Khan perhaps? I can hear him now complaining about bloody Scousers turning up everywhere! ha ha ha!

10. Last meal on Death Row?

It would have to be a bowl of Scouse with pickled red cabbage, beetroot and crusty bread! You just cant beat it.

11. Fantasy relationship and why?

This is the one that gets me into trouble...too many ladies...To go totally geeky..Durham Red from 2000AD. I guess any alternative chick with attitude does me.

12. If your life were a movie, who would play you?

No idea...but a friend describes me as a shaved Haggrad...thanks! (you know who you are!).

13. Favourite Comic Superhero?

Not really super heros but I always liked Judge Dredd or Johnny Alpha.

14. Favourite Military quote?

Nope I dont have one.

15. Historical destination to visit?

Newgrange in Ireland.

16. Biggest Wargaming regret?

Giving the hobby up for a few years while I chased ladies and rode a collection of matt black motorbikes around....I dont regret doing those things, I just wish I had kept my hand in. I missed out on some cool minis in the 90's.

17. Favourite Fantasy job?

Its go to be building the types of cars and motorbikes you see in the likes of Mad Max and Doomsday for real and getting to drive them!

18. Favourite Song Top 5?

Too many to list. I like a lot of Rock n Metal music.

19. Favourite Wargaming Moment?

Seeing the Aryanriche Nazis getting a kicking from a bunch of Smoggers. Great!

20. The miserable Git question, what upsets you?

I dislike arrogance and ego in people. Cold Callers. Racism, religious/spiritual intolerance, child abuse and animal abuse.

21. Favorite Video game:

It has to be STALKER...you cant beat it kids. Get out into the Zone and explore. Metro 2033, Fallout and Borderlands are also on my fave list.

The questions, if anyone wants to have a try (an idea blatantly ripped off from Xander, who nicked it from Brummie - thanks mate!):
