Ok, I’ve never been good at resisting temptation so I’ll pose 3 questions...
1. What is your greatest temptation.
2. If you have kids, what would they say is the greatest lesson you’ve taught them?
3. What is your greatest fear about getting old?

Nice thank you Mamma!
1. Without hesitation that has to be cheese 🧀 😋 I just love cheese, hot cold, on its own, in things, on things. Virtually any sort of cheese, the stronger and stinkier the better👍
2. I have a boy and a girl in their 30’s, each with 2 kids of their own. It’s hard to nail down one thing, because there are so many things that go into making a well rounded adult. I guess if I had to pick one thing, we have always encouraged them to just be kind to people. It costs nothing to show kindness to people you meet, you often have no idea what problems or tragedies they may be coping with, so a random act of kindness may give them a real lift. So many people are fighting battles nobody else can see.
3. I have seen so many people, patients, friends and family suffer lingering and degrading deaths, and the pain their families go through witnessing this. I never want to put this kind of burden on my family. I’m a great advocate to the right for assisted dying, after all we wouldn’t let animals suffer in that way. I get that some people wouldn’t want this for a variety of reasons or beliefs, but I don’t believe that their personal choices should trump my personal right to chose this option.
Man, you spoiled the jokes I was trying to play on you. I was going to tell you that the 4th of July in Britain came between the 3rd and the 5th. As for the UFO, I was going to say “made you look.”
Do you ever read any of the other supercell game forums? Based on the answers you gave to my questions you’d fit in well over in Boom Beach.
Got any rocks on your farm you need my grenadiers to clear? Their aim isn’t all that great so you may get all of your farm tilled.
Do you believe in life on other planets?
Have we ever been visited?
If so, did they land in Scotland?
What is your proudest accomplishment in life?
If you could be a bird, whose car would you poop on first?
Don’t you hate it when you’re typing a long post and you accidentally delete a large part of it?
Ever post while sitting on the toilet?
Ever lied about needing to go to the bathroom so you could do something in game?
What’s the best soccer riot you’ve ever been involved in?

Sorry Mike, spoilsport is my middle name!

I’ve never ventured over to the dark side. It kind of scares me that I might get dragged into another game, when I already waste far too much time on this one. That I would fit in well at Boom Beach doesn’t speak well of the quality on offer there LOL!

Not a single one I’m afraid, but it would be amusing if you went to my wife’s farm with some pyrotechnics.
Do you believe in life on other planets?
As a scientist the sensible answer is that it’s almost inevitable that there must be life of some sort out there. As a grumpy old veteran, when i look around at some of the creatures wandering round any town centre in UK, they are already here!
Have we ever been visited?
Crop circles .... unless that’s your grenadiers?
If so, did they land in Scotland?
I do hope not, one would want them to receive a warm welcome!
What is your proudest accomplishment in life?
Got to be raising two great kids and 4 great grandkids, also serving my country and being part of the military brotherhood.
If you could be a bird, whose car would you poop on first?
Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the British Labour Party and terrorist supporter!
Don’t you hate it when you’re typing a long post and you accidentally delete a large part of it?
Not any more, not since I realised the ‘undo’ button was my friend
Ever post while sitting on the toilet?
Had to do a double take and make sure that said sitting. Doing exactly that right nowit’s where I do most of my good thinking!
Ever lied about needing to go to the bathroom so you could do something in game?
No but that’s a great idea when we have visitors . Thank you very much! Just checking out how practical it is to use my iPad in the shower.
What’s the best soccer riot you’ve ever been involved in?
That’s very perceptive of you Mike. As a young Chelsea fan in the 70’s, fights and riots were a regular occurrence. The most violent I recall was Tottenham Hotpurs vs Chelsea in 1975. Massive pitch invasion and opposing fans battling everywhere, cost me a fractured cheekbone.

Tony Cozier was a non-player IIRC. Of course he was of a different time. Still...there’s hope.😊 Hang in and hang out with the people who are already “in”, stun them with your knowledge and passion. Next thing you know you’ll be a guest in the boxes at Warner Park, Kensington Oval and the rest...and the rest will be history. 😉 (and that’s all I’m going to say about cricket because my heart too often breaks)
Haha, I should be so lucky!
I played in a charity game about 5 years ago with Mike Gatting, Phil Tufnell, David Gower and David Lloyd. They were great company and told some wonderful tales of their commentary jobs and travels. I offered my services to carry their bags on their next trip .... I didn’t get any takers though![]()

You mentioned regretting trying to pull a prank on a friend while you were in the army and getting someone well above you in rank. If you had gotten the right person would you regret it today?
What’s the best time of year to pull the milk in the car door prank? I may know someone who may have someone who he may want to get revenge on for something he may have done to someone.
If you were an insect, what sort of insect would you bee?
Do you believe subliminal messaging works?
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever smelled?
Have you ventured over to the dark side yet?

No not in the slightest. Getting blown up by a mate while taking a dump is just part of the risk of the military, toilet humour has a slightly different meaning in the army LOL. Trapping people in portable toilets, or just pushing them over while they are inside is also normal. Besides, the guy I thought I was getting had put a scorpion in my sleeping bag for a laugh, so it was more of a revenge mission

Summer looks like the obvious answer, and with the heat we are getting just now, the results would be almost instantaneous. But you don’t want it to evaporate before it thouroughly sours, so cooler temp for a delayed slow burn is preferable. Plus in cold or wet seasons, it’s harder to avoid the smell by opening windows, dropping the soft top etc.
NB: if someone who might just know someone, who might just want revenge for something, and they just can’t wait til the cooler seasons, simply increase the milk volume delivered. Remember also this is not just a one time gift, so milking across the season is permissible.
If you were an insect, what sort of insect would you bee?
I never really thought about that Mike, but it’s almost like something is telling me it should be a beeWouldnt an army ant be more on track though? No..... a wasp or hornet I think. Not serving any great purpose, just put on earth to be mean and spoil people’s picnics and BBQ’s
NO A BEE, DEFINITELY A BEE,
Do you believe subliminal messaging works?
I don’t know, I’m not sure I’ve even been exposed to it
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever smelled?
I guess the Major I caught in the ‘thunderbox pyrotechnic prank’ is right up there, but there’s one worse.
Operation Desert Shield 26th Feb 1991, the Basra road leaving Kuwait City. Allied airforces caught and destroyed an Iraqi column of thousands of vehicles fleeing back to iraq. There’s only one thing smells worse than a dead body decaying in high temperatures, its thousands of them, that have also been burnt!
The fly boys destroyed the convoy, the army was left to clear the road, bury and register the dead with the war graves registration teams. Not a smell I will ever forget
Have you ventured over to the dark side yet?
Yup see above.
Forum dark side nope, another stinking themed derby and this QMT is taking up all my time![]()

The only themed derbies I like are the mystery ones. Kind of like pulling a toilet prank in the military. Sometimes you get your buddy and sometimes you get a major.
