I'm pretty easy going with tunes, but the stuff that really does it for me falls into the vast category of electronica. Not that i like everything in that genre - some of it is shite. I used to be a real club head but i never did keep up with the myriad of names for all the little sub-genres that pop up and disappear along the way (waste of time, if you ask me).

I was, and am, a big Sepultura fan, but try as i may, very little in that genre grabs my attention anymore. Sepuls always was in a class of its own.

I am very much against pop. There's nothing wrong with popular music (indeed, something must be right with it if it's popular) but somewhere along the way, big business had a bastard child with a talentless bimbo and spawned the pop genre. Legitimate, genuinely talented musicians have been suffering ever since.

Erm, 4. I'm definitely a chocolate chip man. With ten-times RDI of choc flavoured Ice Magic. And Milo! Yeah! Did i mention i like chocolate?

Ice cream is a once-a-month indulgence with me. Needless to say, when i eat ice-cream, it's less about the ice cream and more about whatever good stuff i can chuck on top of it. The ridiculously expensive Tim-Tam, Crunchie, Mint Slice etc biscuit inspired ice creams are also good. (With a little Ice Magic )

I think there is one last question to be asked? So..

5. What was your favourite book as a child and why?

Originally posted by Aelia Jusa: What was your first computer/console game? Whichever applies. I think it was a game called Alley Cat where you were a kitten and had to get past levels like eating food out of dogs' bowls or catching fish in a bowl or getting things off a bookshelf without big cats attacking you. It was fun!

OMG Best game ever! Haha I sucked at that game. Hrmm.. now I'm kind of eager to find that game again..

P.S. count me in for this game

Hmm, tough one. The Redwall series of books by some french dude (forget name) had me enthralled when i was about 13 or 14. Ian Livingston DIY adventure books were also good. A long time before that it was Enid Blighton (sp?) and before that still it was a collection of Aesop's fables. (though i remember being quite disturbed by Aesop's animal characters dying in just about every fable. For those that don't know, Aesop was a slave around about Pythagoras' time and at the heart of each of his stories was a moral. Never cry wolf, look before you leap etc.)

Wow, that's bringin' back memories! I'll have to see if my folks have still got that old book. Probably explains why i'm so disturbed by (and hopelessly drawn to) Happy Tree Friends..

Oh, and Alley Cat was an awesome game for its time. I was good at it up until "Tom Cat" rank. After that, it was just too fast.

Lol, nah it doesn't really bother me if I don't get any questions hehe. And I totally understand when you say "in the interests of fairness" *gives thumbs up*
