Ask me anything (zappaDPJ)

If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
 
Whose face was said to have launched 1,000 ships?
 
If you had to choose five items to bring to a desert island where you would be staying alone for thirty days, what would the items be?
 
Do you like hayrides?
It's not much of a thing in the UK but I do have an affinity with a straw as I worked as a thatcher for a couple of years.
WHat was your last tweet on twitter
I don't subscribe to any social media other than forums because I prefer conversations that have more substance.
If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I love spicy food so it would have to be a vegan curry.
What do you like the most about yourself?
I think I'm fairly balanced and good in a crisis.
Whose face was said to have launched 1,000 ships?
Helen of Troy but whether or not she's a part of history or pure fiction is open to debate I believe.
What's the oldest item you possess and how old is it?
I used to collect artwork created for children's book illustrations before it became fashionable and completely unaffordable. I have an original Arthur Rackham watercolor which was used as an illustration for a book published in 1917.

I also have a 1963 Fender Stratocaster which is not nearly as old but probably worth a lot more.

I nearly forgot... I have a mid-Jurassic ammonite which I use as a paper weight. That would probably be about 150 million years old and worth absolutely nothing :happy: I think we have a winner!
If you had to choose five items to bring to a desert island where you would be staying alone for thirty days, what would the items be?
That's actually quite easy to answer.
  1. A decent acoustic guitar
  2. A spare set of strings
  3. An Indian take-away specializing in vegan food.
  4. An endless supply of fresh water.
  5. A comfortable bed.
Can I stay for at least 60 days, pretty please? 🙂
 
Well, I'm glad you were able to give it up! 🙂

How many forums do you suppose you've joined over the years, if you had to estimate?
 
How many forums do you suppose you've joined over the years, if you had to estimate?
Not a huge number, I'm quite selective and don't join unless I feel I have something worthwhile to contribute or if I want some information, usually from a commercially run support forum.

I'd guess more than 30, less than 50.
 
How many new films that you seen this year
 
How many new films that you seen this year
None that I recall. I think the film industry has lost its way, relying too much on reboots, prequels, sequels and franchises.
What makes you want to join a forum?
Primarily unique content that interests me.
Had a tire swing?
I haven't but there's still time!
If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?
An end to dust. Can you imagine how much better life would be without dust 🙂

A mint condition 1959 Les Paul Standard guitar.

World peace I guess and why not!
What is your favorite beverage?
Still water bottled in a glass bottle or the occasional Islay Malt Whiskey.
Using Windows 11
No. None of my PC will properly support it.
What are you starting to like less and less the older you get?
Modern films (as per my first reply).
