What's your favourite Manga?
Akira, but it's also the only manga I've read every volume of, because they happened to have them all at my library. I don't think I've read more than one volume of any other manga series.
What did you drink today?
Tap water, Volvic Summer Fruits flavoured water (sugar free), Yorkshire Tea - Toast & Jam Brew, Monster Ultra
What is your least favorite animal?
Those toads that have lots of holes in their back with babies inside 🤢

❝What's Your Favorite
⠀ Season And Why.ᐣ❞
Spring, because you've made it through the winter and there's summer to look forward to.
In the US, in my experience, it's primarily Christians, Mormons (Latter Day Saints), and Jehovah's Witnesses who are known for being pushy about their religion. In your locale is that also the case or do other groups fill that role?
You get the occasional Jehovah's Witnesses going door to door, and a few times I've seen Mormon missionaries talking to people on the streets close to where they have a church, but that's about it. Nobody else seems pushy about their religion, but I do live in one of the least religious parts of the UK.
You are paired with 100 random humans, if you are better than all of them at something you win a billion dollars, what are you doing?
Fantasy Premier League. I'm currently ranked inside the top 1000 this season, and there are millions of active players.
What is the weirdest book or series of books you have read, if you read books. (Audio books also count.)
House of Leaves
I think it's usually because of licences expiring, e.g., music in the soundtrack or real life cars in a racing game. Or sometimes a publisher releases a cash grab 'remaster', and it wants people to only be able to buy that version, of course at a much higher price.
top 10 prog rock albums?
Tough one, but this is what I've come up with. I guess some predictable picks, but they're popular for a reason. (Limited to one album per band, and ordered by year of release, because I find it difficult to rank favourite music from best to least best.)
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Gentle Giant - Three Friends
Genesis - Foxtrot
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff
Camel - Moonmadness
Rush - Hemispheres
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
