Last time you handwritten a letter to someone?

A week ago, but, frankly, it's rare that I'd be writing a hand written letter tbh.

I think so,heh.Most who start talking to me are the elderly, I guess I just have a certain demeanour they are comfortable with. Which is nice because over the years I've amazing stories. The younger crowd most times I've no idea what they are talking about,heh.

What's your most useful gadget excluding you phone and laptop?

Nah wouldn’t be arsed and my doctor has said I could stand to gain weight if anything so not much point really.

What period of history is most interesting to you?

auspicious

There is just so much to choose from. Is the Big Bang considered a period or is it too short? I'll go with the High to Late Middle ages It's got all the 'good' stuff like the Inquisition and the Crusades.

What's yours?

Oh I really couldn’t answer that similar to yourself there’s too much for me to choose from! Generally go on a “kick” for a different period every so often so it varies for me - currently on a 19th century kick, fascinating time for geopolitics with the Napoleonic wars, the unification and emergence of nations such as Germany and Italy, many social revolutions, Steam power and huge advances in science and engineering, the last blank patches on the map being explored and filled in, Empires reaching their awful peaks...and much more.
Ask me again in a few months and I’ll have a different answer

Favourite breed of dog and why?

magic_murph

hot dog
Warms the soul, friendly, goes with a variety of sauces, practical, cheap, very little clean up needed.

What do you put on your toast?

Bobblehats

Cheese.

Can you smile for the camera?

Wichita Lineman

there ya go.

Do you 'airbrush' your selfies?

Trigger Happy

I can fake a smile with the best of them. Prefer my resting bitch face though.

Edit: Airbrush my selfies? Get the fack out of here!

Do you have any grey hairs?

Widdershins

No. I had a false alarm last year, was only light bouncing off my hair.
Cant go grey, only white in the end. Redhead gene.

WHY do people airbrush their photos? Isn't it wilfully dishonest?

auspicious

I wouldn't say that. Marketing and advertising targets societal standards creating ideals which in many ways and for most are unattainable. These people therefore want to present their best version which runs toward the gold standard rather than against. As such imo it's not wilful but more needful. We do form first impressions in 1/10th of a second.

Ever dyed your hair?

Bobblehats

All the time.

Do you have a ridiculously young face and complexion which belies your age?

Widdershins

You got me thinking, Auspicious.

Bobbles, well I haven't reached a grand old age yet. I do look a bit younger than I am at the moment. By comparison to friends my age.

Do you?

Bobblehats

Yeah.

Do you use any kitchen products on your face. Like oil, or butter

I am indifferent to them.

What is your opinion of the feeling 'indifference' ?

The Princess Bride

I wish more people acknowledged their indifference rather than having an opinion on everything, and giving it whether or not it's wanted!

Do you leave online reviews after buying things/booking holidays etc...?

Hippykitten

If I leave any review it's more likely to be a positive one

What's your opinion on Ireland's direct provision system?
