This version of this song written by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger helps me find balance when everything has down hill.

What’s a moment you witnessed that would’ve gone insanely viral if it had been caught on video?
I've seen a huge puffball mushroom spontaneously explode which was really unnerving. I've seen videos of people standing on them but I've not seen anyone capture one exploding of its own accord.
I've never actually owned one or even used one. I used to play games on my PC though.

How does social media impact your mental health, both positively and negatively?
Unless you include forums, I don't look at social media at all so it's all good 🙂
It does amaze me how powerful social media has become though e.g. elected politicians using it in an official capacity.

What’s a song lyric that hit differently after a personal experience?
Twisted Sister's 'Under the Knife' after reading the dialogue from the 1985 Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) Senate Hearing.
Although I never really took much notice of the lyric but it was a revelation of some magnitude when I found out it was song about the fear of surgery. It was the arena, the Senate Hearing, where that was revealed which really resonated with me.
In short the PMRC thought they were onto a sure fire thing when Dee Snider, Frank Zappa and John Denver gave testimony at the hearing but they didn't get what they expected in the biggest possible way. It was a classic case of assumption being the mother of all mistakes.
The testimony Snider, Zappa and Denver gave was outstanding and worth a listen if you have the time.

What is the most unusual place you’ve ever slept in?
Nothing particularly unusual but I spent many nights sleeping on train stations when I was young because the trains stopped running so early in those days.

If you Google your name what information shows up?
If you had asked me that a few months ago the answer would have been rather boring.
Up until recently if I Googled the full name I was give at birth which I rarely use, nothing at all, zero matches. However not that long ago I got a few weird texts and a call from family members asking if I was OK or still living in one case🙄
Someone with the same name was killed in circumstances that made headline news so now Google has tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of listings against my name.

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
Probably the duck-sized horses assuming I was unarmed.

What's one thing you've been “saving” for later but never get back to it?
Digitising the family slide and photograph collection, some of which goes back nearly a hundred years. At a guess I'd say there are probably well over 50,000 images to scan
