Ask me anything (zappaDPJ)

What's the best food you can make/prepare with the least amount of money?
I think a vegetable based, Goan curry with basmati rice because I buy the all the ingredients in bulk. I doubt it costs much more than $1/£1 per person.

In which classic novel is the first line: 'In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since'?
See my previous reply 🙂 (It's from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'.)

If you could visit one planet, which would it be?
Probably Mars because it provides a better chance for my survival!

What is your favorite thing about yourself?
I'm generally good in a crisis.


What is the currency of Poland?
It used to be the Zloty but they may have adopted the Euro after joining the EU. I could Google but that would be cheating!

What have you taught yourself to do?
Everything!

I left school at a very young age with few qualifications so most of what I know is completely self-taught e.g. I'm a multi-instrumentalist (jack of all trades 🙄) musician, songwriter and producer/engineer. I also taught myself electronics and programming which gave me a living during the periods when I couldn't make enough to live on as a musician. In addition I taught myself to cook, possible my greatest achievement and something I'm actually quite proud of.

Do you do Black Friday sales?
No, never!

If I want or need something I'll buy it if I can afford it. From observation it seems to be me sales of any kind are general used to entice people into buying things no one wants or needed in the first place.

What was the last thing you ordered from Amazon?
One of those papery things people use to buy in the old days 😵


what's the colour of the moon XD
As it happens we were driving home yesterday evening through fog with the moon still visible. This is something like what we could see...

What is the most annoying fruit to eat?
It annoys me a little when people spit pomegranate seeds!

what's the room temp now
15 deg C which is a compromise in this household. Too warm for me but not enough heat for anyone else.


What makes you anxious?
Performing live. I was fine with it when I was young but I've found it to be quite stressful as I've got older.
 
What is one thing you will never do again?
Go to Disneyland in Paris.

have you thought about writing a book
I have. I've been documenting 50 years of a music festival which was originally intended to be an interactive website/blog and forum. More recently I've considered releasing it as a book assuming I can find a willing publisher but there are copyright issues to overcome.
