Decided to give Formspring a go. I will answer most questions but if you want to insult me then please do it to my face.

      It would take even longer for Companies House and the DVLA to process things. The rest of the UK would grind to a halt.

      She can't become the real Queen, i.e. the monarch, she'll only ever been Queen like with a kind of small "q". No problem with that whatsoever. Kate'll be the same.

      Anywhere where homosexuality is still criminalised and where I cannot be sure of adequate protection against such legislation. This includes most (if not all) Muslim countries and many countries in Africa.

      However, the exception to this would be Uganda. Although homosexuality is (quite famously) in this otherwise beautiful country I have appropriate and sufficient contacts there to ensure that it would never be a problem for me. Always good to know the right people.

      The other countries can go to hell though, ring me when you've joined the 20th Century.

      To get back into full-time work, which I succeeded in doing. There's much room for improvement, however.

      I'm really not a sports person at all. I will passably watch certain events when the Olympics are on, but possibly for all the wrong reasons (gymnastics, for example). It's just never been my thing. I might watch the boat race if I catch it on the telly because that's always quite exciting and my Dad's into rowing.

      I worked in an asset management firm in the city of London once on a two week contract. I hated it. I hated London and I especially hated the city. The job was dreadful too, I didn't have the skills to execute it and I wasn't happy that my employer at the time had posted me there. If all that wasn't bad enough my boyfriend at the time chose that week to dump me!

      I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's used properly and reasonably, but I've seen some horrible examples out and about of how it can easily be abused, along with fake tans, etc. I used cover sticks when I was a teenager and had the spotty plague, I was teased a little for doing so but i felt better when I was using them than I did when I wasn't, so there was a net gain in confidence.

      I don't really *do* celebrity so there aren't, really. I respect some celebrities, mostly extremely good actors that I'm fans of, but I'm certainly not a celeb-follower, indeed, there's a long list of them that I don't have any time for at all.

      He got lucky and he knows it. He's the first Liberal Democrat leader in 65 years with any real power and he's going to make the most of it, despite the restrictions that it has as part of a coalition - why wouldn't he? I think he has quite a lot to offer but the price of power has forced him to come back down to earth over a few policies. Before the election and knowing that they had no real chance of winning it they could pretty much say anything without actually having to live up to it, but I think from now on they'll think twice about such things, certainly while the politics of this country remain so unclear. But I like him, he's a nice bloke and I think that he's doing a good job given that he didn't expect to get it.

      It was the advice I received following the failure of the business I ran in the noughties. I'm still living with the fall-out in so many ways.

      I have a small scar on my forehead from when I managed to crack my head open falling from the *bottom* step of the stairs at a friend's house when I was 3. Go figure.

      New York.

      When I first went to New York I wasn't a city-type person and the place scared the living shit out of me. I didn't like it at all. It was big and very fucking scary and I really wasn't comfortable there. It then didn't help matters that I left the day before 9/11.

      But then a couple of years later, after having moved to Manchester, I ended up there again, quite randomly in fact, and this time I really loved the place and I've been going back there whenever I can ever since. It's an absolutely amazing place. Its scale, diversity, history and what it has to offer is breathtaking. Nothing in Europe even come close.

      Ideally I would like to live and work there for a few years sometime during my life. I don't want to spend forever there, because I don't want to die young from the stress that it would inevitably bring eventually, but to have that experience I think would be a really fantastic thing to tick off my bucket list.

Unconventional techie homosexual. I speak my mind involuntarily. It's both a blessing and a curse.
