I’m not very good with that. Definitely something I need to work on.

If you were writing a book. what type of book would it be?

I've heard it said "write about what what you know", so, I'd pen something pertaining to my journey through life and the adventures I've had laced with anecdotes about the people I've crossed paths with.

When in the company of new people in a social setting, how do you find it?

Japan, Tokyo and the countryside.

The whole "women and children first" thing ( the Birkenhead drill) is not actually on the statute of marine law, or written into the Convention Of Saving Lives At Sea. So with that in mind while the ship you find yourself on is soon to be a new curiosity for fish resting next to Challenger Deep.

Would you forsake a place in a lifeboat so that a woman and child be accommodated, knowing that you had little or no chance of surviving?

DFF you do ask questions that make me ponder...

But when I'd like to go back to, while, retaining all the attributes and considerations that eventually manifest within me and make me the mirror opposite of the teenage version of me, is that day in 1988 when the first girl to take my breath away walked in that class room. It's true what is said... youth is wasted on the young.

In your history, is there someone that slipped through your fingers, and on reflection you realized why and if you could go back you'd do thing differently. Maybe not a romantic interest, but any potential relationship that was cut shot/

Yes, there are three in particular. Two half brothers and a half sister. We didn’t grow up together and I found them much later in life. And perhaps too late. We’ve totally lost touch and I haven’t seen any of them in over 20 years. All of our faults really. We all let it happen. I think about them every day but unfortunately no one makes the first move.


If you could own one car in the entire world and drive it for a day which would it be?

A car is just a tool to me. But if I could I'd like to experience a Mercedes Benz AMG.

If someone you know was writing a book or blog and was using their knowledge of your past . How would you feel and react?

As kids we did. No crash mat! Thankfully the adults put an end to that madness.

If someone is selling something for peanuts but you knew that it was actually valuable and worth a significant sum, what would you do?

I've been given some good advice in my time and offered some utter claptrap as well. The good...

If you are in dispute with a someone or an entity that through contract or acting as an agent of the judiciary to issue penalties (parking fines, dog fouling fines etc). Don't withhold payment in protest. Pay the fine then take action or seek your exoneration and refund. Not paying will just attract further penalties/enforcement action.

Be understanding and share your wealth (not saying give it all away) with those less fortunate, before they share their poverty.

Someone else can take away your money, home, job, security, spouse. No-one can take away your education.

Finally, advice I offer to people that are quick to judge people because of (insert any ridiculous reason here)... You are guessing as to why he/she is where they are. Don't guess... help you ignorant (expletive).
I often give to people sleeping on street corners, give money wish them luck and hope that whatever they buy helps them in the here and now... *exit stage left for the B.I.G*

If a close friend was earning GOOOOOOD money in a job that was grinding them down and making them very unhappy. What 3 bits of advice would you offer?

1. It’s not always about the money so don’t sacrifice your happiness if you feel you should leave.

2. If you don’t want to leave then talk to the powers that be to find a way to make your stay happier.

3. If you do stay please share some of that money with me.


If you could listen to just one song for the rest of your life which would it be?

Quite right sir, Quite right. Biggie needs a Bentley Continental GT like sinners need Jah. Hmm so both for me.. let's start with the fly ride.

Ok so now the BS that fell out of the sky and bounced off me and landed above is done...DFF another very good/difficult question. I have had to put the beer down and thinking cap on!

I know that I couldn't get by with just one song for more than that song length. Cloudbusting is my all time favourite but Mobb Deep's Eye For An Eye is now my most played with over 250 plays.

But thinking about your question...
Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy came to mind, and Wu-Tang's Reunited. Madonna and Open Up Your Heart, Kajagoooo with To Shy. Biggie with Gimme The Loot... and plenty plenty more. A melophile is me.

While pondering the big questions that you asked I was struck by an epiphany...is there a song lyric that has made a difference in the way you think and go about your everything?

With me.."Stuck the heat out the window and rocked their ass to sleep over a 3 pack. It was a small thing really yo. But keep letting the small things slide that will be your failure"

Mobb Deep. The sentiment is correct. I now have little tolerance for letting the small things slide.
