I gotta thank MIB for this honor, he’s such a cool dude with an even cooler blog. I now have a sixth Liebster Award, and I’m just feeling so good. I love being part of so many great blogs and the feedback on here is what keeps me going.
So here are my answers to his questions:
- What is your favourite silent film? I haven’t seen that many so I can’t really answer that one.
- If you could turn a book into a film (that hasn’t been done yet) which one would it be? Playing With the Grownups by Sophie Dahl.
- Who is your oldest living relative and how old are they? My great Grandma is 83.
- A bit grim but have you ever thought about faking your own death just to see what people thought of you and how many attend your funeral? The thought has crossed my mind but not very often.
- How do you sleep – clothed or naked? It depends on the weather.
- How long do you think you would last if you didn’t have your mobile phone? Quite a long time, I mean I use my phone but I love just switching it off and not being bothered constantly.
- A classic question – which four famous people from history and /or alive today would you invite to a dinner party? Nelson Mandela, Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis and River Phoenix.
- Do you still have any toys from your childhood that you refuse to part with? I believe I still have a teddy bear somewhere around the house.
- Is there a schoolteacher from your past you’d like to go back in time and punch them in the face? Quite a few, but for legal reasons I won’t name them.
- Do you use an electric or standard toothbrush? I use both.
- What is your favourite foreign language/World Cinema film? If I had to choose it would be City of God
And as I can’t whittle down all the blogs I follow to 11, I will nominate five bloggers.
And here are 11 questions for the nominees:
- Do you get embarrassed when it comes to sex scenes in movies?
- What movie do you never want to watch again?
- Do you believe in love at first sight?
- What place do you feel the most relaxed?
- Do you consider yourself a good dancer?
- What do you think is your best feature?
- If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
- Is there a famous person who have a deep admiration for?
- Are you a reality TV fan?
- If you had to take on another alias, what would name and job description be?
- What is your biggest pet hate?
Congrats Vinnie! Much deserved!! I love love love City of God. Great choice!

(Stifles a yawn…) Another award V? Well done mate. Thanks for the nomination. I never do awards myself, but at the risk of being thought a party-pooper, I will at least answer the questions for you.
1) Never have so far.
2) (So many to choose from) OK, ‘Titanic’, the James Cameron pile.
3) Yes
4) Walking with Ollie, anywhere we happen to be.
5) No
6) (Physical feature I presume?) My killer legs! (See my photo on ‘About’)
7) Racism. If it was banished, the world would be a happier place.
8) (A person still living? ) Fidel Castro.
9) No- hate all of it with a passion.
10) Alexander Popovitch. I would be a Russian spy. (But a cool one, of course…)
11) (Where do I start?) The Aristocracy. (Including the Royals)
Hope that covers it mate. Well done once again. Pete.

Use to have lots of comic books, but my ex wife wouldn’t give them to me in the divorce 9 years ago and she probably threw them away…silly woman 🙂
the other one is pretty tough because usually book adaptations just aren’t as good as the book, so I’ll have to go with Shall We tell the President by Jeffrey Archer (the original book, not the one he integrated into his series) It’s a great conspiracy thriller novel and I love those 🙂

Sometimes I see kids walking on their own to school, behind a big group of other kids and it breaks my heart. I just want to shout “oi, don’t be so mean”
I wish everyone could get along!!!!!

I can totally relate to that, as I always felt on the outside in school. But once I got to college, I seemed to get a new lease on life and stopped caring what people thought of me.
LikeLiked by 1 person
College is brilliant for that reason. I’d always encourage kids to go to college rather than sixth form, like you say you care less what people think and come into your own a little bit. Going to college was one of the best things I did too!
I wasn’t really an outsider at school, but I’ve always been a bit shy and worried what people think of me. I think when you’ve experienced what it feels like you’ll always remember and hopefully empathise with people who share similar traits.
What did you study at college? 🙂
