CLAPTON : behind the questions

Hi CLAPTON

i think we all know various bits about each others lives outside of the debates on here. Eg who has kids, how old we are, where we live / work etc. You are one of the most frequent but enigmatic posters on here.... but we know nothing about you other than some of your political views. You also have a fairly unique style of debating where you use questions to keep things moving along.

Thought it may be worthwhile having a thread where we can ask you questions and find out a bit more about 'the man behind the questions'

Some starters;

- are you married?

- are you male?

- are you retired?
Left is never right but I always am.

    Could you also supply all your credit card numbers and PIN's, NI number and a few copies of your latest bank statements ;)
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Do you like cheese?

    What sort of cheese do you like?

    Do you find yourself eating a posh cheeseboard in a restaurant and secretly wishing you could have some cathedral city instead?

    And if there was a fight between Dennis Waterman and Danny Dyer, who would you want to win? Not the Dennis Waterman of today obviously -- that wouldn't be a fair battle. I'm talking Minder days, when he was in his prime.

    Definitely Football Factory. Waterman doesn't hit men in pink dressing gowns.

    Rediclous question. Are you suggesting that cathedral city even qualifies as cheese?
