Ask me a question

[ciphergoth]

...but not any question.

Ask me something you might ask if you saw me down the pub. I haven't suddenly decided to bare my innermost soul on public entries, but I don't talk about my life at all on LJ, and I'd sort of like to. Ask me something you might normally ask me if you saw me more often, and I'll use it as the stimulus to talk about something other than geekery.

So, how *is* the new flat?

:)

I'm greedy I want 3 questions!

Who got you your Dennis jumper?
How old is it?
Can I have a cuddle?

How much trouble is it to find an ok tech job in London nowadays?

[vvalkyri.livejournal.com]

So have you been back to Edinburgh much since the move to London? How's everyone doing up there?

Anything interesting going on in London? Remind me whether I'd be nuts to go over there in winter. I think I would be, but...

Since the BVT box is down right now

For heaven's sake, I consider the lack of opportunities to sit around and ask you questions in a pub-type atmosphere one of the greatest shortcomings of my life at present. So ...

How did you ever get involved with L&L? Jason and I were debating the exact number of years as we paddled around yesterday, but I am even more intrigued by how you were roped in in the first place.

If that's still too personal for LJ, then how long have you three been together? (Imagine Jason and me having made a wager before meeting you at the pub just to make it more realistic). (And I do know that now you are four but I know a lot more about that part of things.)

Was it silly of us to arrange a date the Thursday before Whitby?

PS.

How are you? *hug*

Ask me something you might ask if you saw me down the pub.

Fancy a shag then?

Okies, too much bloodstream vs alcohol for that to work...

Okay then - can I rely on you as supreme corset tightener when you are available/in the same place? FFS you do a decent job without that pointy knee-in-back nonsense!

Fancy a pint?

I'm not sure this'll help with the other-than-geekery part, but:

Can you recommend me a good way to keep up with current developments in cryptography ?

I've a maths degree and a little knowledge of cryptography, but I'm no expert so nothing too hardcore ;) It's more for my own interest than any actual requirement.

Got the vanilla scent out of the hair yet?

Are you eating much meat since living with three vegetarians? Have your beliefs changed since living with them (on animal rights or anything else)?

So, what are we drinking?

Do you think Gordon suddenly breaking ranks and opening up the rift between him and Tony again is contrary to New Labour interests given that destabilising the leadership just before a general election will lose votes? Or do you think that Tony and Gordon are in total collusion and that Gordon talked Tony out of stepping down early this year, for the above reason, and that Tony wants out, like, NOW, but that didn't fit the New Labour game plan until recently, (assuming that THEY are assuming that Gordon *will* be Prime Minister but they wanted him to take up the position after the election)?

Or do you think something else?

Oooh, that does sound fun. I will ask Hessie and Meg and see if they want to come, afterall we have the masks now.

[conflux.livejournal.com]

Well as I ask you any kind of question down the pub, then maybe I should wait until then? Are you coming to Baby Simon's do tonight?

[keirf.livejournal.com]

What number am I thinking of?

[cillygirl.livejournal.com]

what do you think are the best places to go (out or generally) in london?

[biog.livejournal.com]

Why do I think you're so damm atractive (in the sexual sense as in all others).

[narnee.livejournal.com]

It has to say something about me that I can't think of a question that doesn't have to do with something naughty or something potentially leading to naughtiness, politics or geekery.

So I don't think I'd be much help in providing stimilus to talk about something else.

However, I think that does encompass every conversation we've ever had. :>

Top fab! The roof terrace has been great over the summer, and living just above ergotia and lilithmagna is magic. We could do with more space, but that's always true I guess...

Alison knitted it for me I guess about a decade ago now!

Sorry I couldn't stay at the pub to deliver your cuddle in person - next time I see you I promise! *cuddle*

I don't really know. I wasn't by any means beseiged by offers when I went job hunting a little over a year ago now, but I've landed a job which suits me very well, so I guess things can't be too bad.
