Posted by Mister JTA on January 6th, 2010 | 3 comments

Aye, as Ruth said we have a website. It is over here, and there is a helpful blog, which will presumably get less sparse over time.

I feel silly having a one-sentence post. Here is a meme, which you may now all skip.

  1. What is your name?

    2. Mister JTA.

  2. What colour pants are you wearing?

    3. Black jeans, blue thermals.

  3. What are you listening to right now?

    4. Depends what the RNG is doing, but the playlist is a mix of Barenaked Ladies, Slade and Warren Zevon, which combine nicely for some reason, presumably magic.

  4. What are the last four digits of your phone number?

    5. You realise that’s over half the main number, right? By the time you’re establishing my number based on what the exchange might be, you could just as easily look it up in the phone directory…

  5. What was the last thing you ate?

    6. Chilli con carne, with significantly more rice than chilly. For the cheap.

  6. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?

    7. Er…. Blue?

  7. Where do you plan to go on your honeymoon?

    8. Huh. Topical. Rather going with the traditional “random short break, proper honeymoon later” plan, is my understanding.

  8. How is the weather right now?

    9. Sodding miserable.There’s ice and snow and everything. It sucks.

  9. Last person you talked to on the phone?

    10. No idea what their name is. Sry.

  10. What’s the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?

    11. What clothes they have on. Actually Probably Possibly a lot less pervy than it sounds.

  11. How are you today?

    12. Not entirely frozen.

  12. Your favourite drink?

    13. Er. One of tea, coffee, pepsi or Mountain Dew.

    14. Ale, gin, whisky, rum, port, stout, cider…

  14. Have you ever lost someone?

    15. Doy.

  15. Favourite sport to play?

    16. Hahaha.

  16. Name three people you can tell anything to?

    17. Jeez, three? Er. Ruth. Dan. Er. Yeah, that’s your lot. Move along, folks.

  17. Hair colour?

    18. Brown? Probably, although it might be black.

  18. Eye Colour?

    19. Brown.

  19. What do you find annoying in a person?

    20. Hm. I’m assuming you mean ‘most annoying’ there. Lack of empathy. It’s not like it’s hard.

  20. Siblings and their ages?

    21. One, 19.

  21. Favourite month?

    25. And the point of having one of those would be what?

  25. Are you too shy to ask someone out?

    26. All signs point to possibly. Or not, if’n I can actually tell whether they like me. So, er, yes.

  26. Summer or Winter?

    27. At the moment, I’d say summer. Come the next heatwave, I’ll say winter. Bloody weather.

  27. Where do you see urself next year?

    28. Down Oxford way, is the plan.

  28. Hugs or Kisses?

    29. Well… hugs are more transferable.

  29. Relationship or one night stands?

    30. This was written by someone in High School, wasn’t it? Still, they tell me even teenagers find relationships are in vogue these days.

  30. Favourite Computer Game?

    31. Errr. Probably S201 for all-time favourite. Otherwise I’m quite liking Saints Row 2, at the minute. It’s like a GTA game, but written sensibly.

  31. Living Arrangements?

    32. An attic flat, with no loft insulation and no heating. Wheeeeee.

  32. What books are you reading?

    33. Intersting times; Flashman; Cartoon history of the modern world, v. 2.

  41. Favourite colour(s)?

    42. Blue.

  42. How many rings before you answer the phone?

    43. Depends where I am. Anyway, you can’t tell how many times a mobile rings.

  43. Do you think the glass is half empty or half full?

    44. In my experience, glasses rarely fill themselves. It’s therefore safe to assume that 1) it is getting emptier, and 2) in a just world, someone else would have already volunteered to buy you another…

  44. Favourite movies?

    45. Flashback; South Park: BLU; big fan of Wargames when I’m in the right mood.

  45. What’s under your bed?
