Humour me

1) What is your favourite smell/scent and why

Probably the smell of fresh air when you have been stuck in a room for too long. Or the smell of natural landscape (like when you step under the trees to enter a forest and your senses are assaulted all at once by the smell of trees, leaves and vegetation and the sound of modern life being replaced by the primeaval pseudo-silence. (à la R.E. Howard). Or the seaside on an island. And certain perfumes.

2) If you could be really good at only one thing, what would it be and why?

Stay healthy because poor health restricts the scope of what we can do (though everything you do feels like an achievement, like Kev wisely explained in another post).
Or learn to be more detached from things, not get irrated by people’s annoying habits or modes of behaviour; be able to let petty things pass without feeling really angry about them. Save the anger for important things. (and hopefully avoid an ulcer).

3) Would you cheat if you knew you wouldn’t get caught?
As some posters have said, depends on what you are cheating at. “Cheating” implies a set of rules. If that rule is “you will stay prisoner here,” or “you will let me destroy your life” then yes, I’ll try and cheat.
Sorry, boring answer but it’s hard to say outside of a context.

4) If you could read the mind of someone famous, who would it be?

Probably a major politician to see what the discrepency is between what they claim to believe in and what they really think, between what they says their reasons are for their actions, and what the real reasons are. Might be a bit depressing though.

Two were shot and one died as the result of a car crash, there you go, one fulfilled ambition.

Oh come on. It isn’t that simple.

it is obvious that a certain royal pilot who shall be nameless said to the secret service

“One has a troublesome ex-wife. Do get shut of her for me”

The best intelligence service in the world sat down and thought “What is the most effective way of doing the deed?”

Some bright spark said,

“Why don’t we have a guy in a small white car, weighing about one third of a ton, loiter around the Parisian underpasses? One night her chauffeur is bound to have far too much to drink and go through that underpass at ninety miles per hour in his three-ton armoured Mercedes and our guy can ram him off the road. As the fluffy air-head thinks that people are trying to set up a car accident to kill her she plainly won’t be wearing seat belts, so will be killed in the resulting crash”

‘M’ replied “Job done”

A much more satisfactory explanation I’m sure you’ll agree

Isn’t perpetual motion what you get from trying to land an Auster before it’s ready?? Something to do with elastic undercarriages!!!!

1. Fried onions for food and the smell of a brand new car with leather seats
2. Writing and aerobatics
3. Probably but I’d regret it anyway to the point where it wouldn’t be worth in the first place
4. Jimi Hendrix: what was it like to come on stage at Monterey and to burn your guitar in front of a completely mesmerised crowd?

You got good tastes there i see.

Wouldn’t it be better to start with something a little easier?

The meaning of life?
The secret of perpetual motion?
The square root of 1?

For the Square root of 1, it’s uh 1. The square root of -1 however is “i”, a number belonging to the realm of complex numbers.

I haven’t found the meaning of Life but I’d be happy to find the meaning of My life.

Perpetual motion? I’m for looking for perpetual emotions rather 🙂

1. Certain perfumes but I couldn’t tell you which ones.

2. Money, then I could also own warbirds and not just watch them.

3. No good at cheating, I’ve been caught out before. Stuck to the path for the past 13 years, it’s far less hassle.

4. Adolf Hitler, to see if there was any compassion in him.

You might need a very bright torch to look around in there.

1) Gotta go with either bacon sarnies or a freshly-exercised Spitfire….!
2) Writing, or flying (or, at the moment, driving! :p)
3) Done it once (on a woman), didn’t like it much, so no
4) My girlfriend – if you knew her, you’d understand….!! :p

…. would like to know how a Woman’s mind works though…..

1) Close run thing between a perfume who’s name I cannot remember at the moment and the smell of burnt avgas and chopped up air produced by a Mustang at close range on take off.

2) Got to be flying I think, would like to master graceful aerobatics (not the competition stuff)

3) Mmmmm have done a number of years ago, didn’t get caught, didn’t feel good, have been cheated on recently, so won’t be doing that again (what goes around comes around and all that….)

4) Can’t think of anyone specific, would like to know how a Woman’s mind works though…..

3. Why go out for a hamburger when you’ve got steak at home

Eh?

Don’t quite follow that as an answer to “Would you cheat?”

Ah! Realisation dawns.

Sorry Ashley can you redefine the question? I took ‘cheating’ to mean using sneaky means to win / gain an advantage. Steve seems to be taking it to mean marital infidelity (Something I wouldn’t grace with a word as innocuous as ‘cheating’. I’d use ‘betrayal’ or worse 😡 )

) What is your favourite smell/scent and why

I have always thought goats ponged a bit if you got up close but there you go, each to their own 😀

2) If you could be really good at only one thing, what would it be and why?

Being ‘Daddy’. What else can be more important when you are one?

3) Would you cheat if you knew you wouldn’t get caught?

No. No point. Unless large sums of money are involved – then they would deserve it.

4) If you could read the mind of someone famous, who would it be?

Nope, don’t fancy that at all. Don’t even want to go there.
