What is the title of the book (Fiction) you are currently reading, or what is the title of a fictional book you have read?

              I have to hold my hands up that question and say that the last book was “Of Mice and Men” back in high school, bad I know.. There of course has been educational books a plenty but if we're strict about entries then this doesn't count, going back a fair few years, the like of the Anthony Horowitz’s, Andy Mcnab and good old Biggles books by "W. E. Johns" were books I always loved reading, maybe it’s time to delve back into them perhaps.

What is the title/topic of the book (Non-fiction) you are currently reading, or what is the title /topic of the last Non-fiction book you have read?

          I haven't really got into reading non-fiction to my knowledge.. Yes lots of historical books but nothing to the tune of autobiographies.

What is the last live performance (Music, Drama, Dance) you attended?

The last trip to the theatre was at the Regent in Ipswich in which the whole family went to go see “I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue” a live panel game recording for radio 4, Seeing the recording done live and all the outtakes which followed was extremely funny, the host, Jack Dee, at the time was also excellent.

What is the title of the last film you saw at the cinema/online or watched on DVD?

            Being a bit of a geek when it comes to seeing lots of films it comes as no surprise that only yesterday I saw the “The Equalizer” a film starring Denzel Washington as a normal guy who works at a Home depot store who turns out he’s got a  slightly troubled past, he takes it upon himself to take a stance against a Russian lead prostitution ring who had beaten an acquaintance of Denzel’s character, being a 18 rated movie a large proportion of the movie contains long choreographed fight scenes with big muscly men with lots of tattoos being beaten to a pulp.(Note not for the young or faint hearted)

How often do you read a newspaper? (Which one? Online or Physical)

              I've always read newspapers, but given the ability to view them online, it’s always been preferable over a physical one, but I guess that’s the way of everything nowadays with games and music being more preferable on an online-digital format. But keeping up with all the political matters is a must to insure your opinion is well balanced, from that I can then be confident in my argument for any case and point.

Which Art Gallery/ Museum/Exhibition did you last visit?

The British Museum and the science museum are probably the last ones I’ve been to, This came about when my younger sister at primary school was offered the trip to London, I of course wanted to go and so after a long bus journey we arrived, me and a friend then headed off to have a look around the city, getting lost a few times and ending up asking armed policemen where the nearest tube was to get back. In terms of the actual museum I preferred hanging around in the science museum just for pure interest in all of the space and massive steam engine exhibits.(Definitely the coolest)

How many hours do you spend playing video games?

Honestly not that many nowadays, sure I still play maybe between 4-8 hours in a week but it now takes allot for me to get into a game given that many of the games I enjoy have story drive single players, meaning that allot get chalked of the to-play list, games such as mass effect and fallout have depth and draw an emotive response but with both series still in development for a 4th game ill have to wait, and in the meantime I’ll find other ways to spent my time.(Doing work is high on that list)

How many hours a week do you spend playing games other than video games?

 In terms of the question I take it as non-digital board games, and as far as that’s concerned it’s really hit and miss, some weeks I can play a few hours while others zero, while much of the time playing with younger siblings with monopoly and a somewhat dusty game of life. Moreover I will generally be cycling.. As that's were my sporting traits lay, With almost 200 miles a week on the clock.
