You'll find others to fill the gap instead of me. Everyone else has.

Very kind of you to say. My days are significantly lonelier without the company of Twitter. Alas, having tried several times to continue being that cllrtim, I have come to realise that that path came to an end a long time ago. Time to find a new one.

This is hard. I am not a fan of the personality cult of the US presidency. Since Kennedy, the first 'rock-star' president it has become increasingly a role designed for a media star. Reagan being the worst excess, an actor playing a role, without any real political or social awareness who did catastrophic damage with his simplistic view of economics.
Obama is a decent combination of both media style and intellect but has lacked strength and success so far.
In a disturbing irony, George Bush snr. who was a pretty hit and miss, right winger, was the one who got the job by working hard in the background and doing a credible job. He didn't court the media like others.
I can't pick him though, too right wing.
So I have to resort to historic cop out and pick Lincoln for his work on slavery. -
It's not good to have favourites. I like to spread the love.
The love of my life Tracey is the one I would save first if the planet was on fire. On Twitter I am massively fond of several brilliant and wonderful people. -
But, like Meatloaf, I won't do that.

My phone and my clothes. I occasionally go without my wallet, sometimes without my keys but only in the most freakish of circumstances do I leave without my phone. I am not proud of this fact...

My OH is obviously the ideal to me, I tend to measure everyone else against her.
I don't believe in universal ideals, because everyone has different tastes and looks and personalities. What makes someone attractive is usually just confidence, openness and self-awareness. I like smart women, strong women and interesting women. That's why I married who I did. -

The main roads in Barnsley are just as well treated as the main roads in Wakefield. Royston has relatively few priority routes. If you look at similar places in Wakefield, like Crofton or Ossett, you'll see they are no different to Royston. There is a trade off for not living on busy main routes like the A61 and that trade off is NOT being a higher priority.
That said, Lee Lane and Church Street/Carlton lane have been gritted and ploughed twice everyday and have remained open. All main junctions have been gritted by hand, everyday and the food deliveries, doctors, chemists and emergency services have all remained open. These are the council priorities.
We can always more and there will always be disruption but every time a full gritter goes out it costs several thousand pounds.
As with last year, there are issues with the low temperatures. Gritting is effective only above about -8 degrees. Below that it is ineffective and counterproductive. Snow ploughing is likewise limited to snowfall at certain levels above and below which it creates other issues.
The council can't catch the snow as it falls, we all need to take a bit more responsibility, take a few more steps to help ourselves and accept that adverse weather happens. Nobody is to blame, not even the government. -
Yes, 42 was a touch excessive. I couldn't even be bothered to answer them all.

Why? Saving a loved one.
Who? Person threatening life of said loved one.
Fairly straight forward, implied in the question.
My chosen method of murder however would be to bludgeon them to death using the severed head of Louis Walsh in a sock. -
