Interview by Penthisilea.

1) Who do you consider the greatest inspiration to you in your life. Who do you aspire to be like and why?
I suppose my tiad. He never let anything get him down, always had several scams running at any one time, could talk anyone into anything, and had the great philosophy of the good night out.

He believed you had not had a good night out unless you came home drunk, after a brilliant time, and with more money then you left the house with. He got to travel the world and met loads of famous people, which is not bad for a miner, I also remember him chatting up a young blonde lass when he was in his early seventies… So I guess I would like to be like him.

2) Who would you say is your best friend, and why them?
That title belongs to Jarvis, for being my oldest friend, in the sense of knowing him the longest, and the fact we went through school together, worked our way up the ranks in cadets together, started drinking at the same time, hell his sister was the first person to kick me out a pub for underage drinking (ok with hindsight, drinking in the pub where my best mates sister was the barmaid probably not my brightest idea). We would have joined the army together as well, apart from my love of lie ins, and a problem with authority… But we still get to have major piss-ups whenever he’s home on leave.

3) What would you consider the most romantic moment in your life? And who was it with? and why was it so romantic?
Most romantic moment in my life?
Good question, I’ve been racking my brain, and even using the memory booster that is vodka. And I am struggling to answer this one, But I have decided for someone who is a romantic at heart, I have not really had much romantic moments, which is a very odd thing, ok, several of my relationships have been purely physical based, and most I just drifted into. I am a paradox, the soul of a romantic, but never do anything romantic! But this is not answering the question.

Ok. Best I can do.. lazy morning spent in bed making love, then off out for a pub dinner, then a stroll hand in hand round a park, enjoying the sun. Then lying entwined against an old oak tree, watching fluffy ducks swimming on a lake while feeding ice cream to each other and just enjoying getting to know each other, till the sun set, not bad for a second date.. Ok now I re-read that it doesn’t sound that typically romantic, but it’s the best I could come up with, as I say paradox.. person would be Sian.

I cant believe that’s the best I could come up with, but I can’t even remember actually having a date with some, like Gill, Kate, Claire, hell the only girl I ever gave flowers too was a stranger that walked past be one sat night, I am pants..

4) What is your best feature? And what is your worst?
My best feature would by my brain/intelligence and I really should make more use of it, its a waste atm. Begging letters of Mensa, and what do i use my mind for? nothing apart from the odd game of sudoku!

Worst feature would by shyness, and lack of confidence…

If you meant physical feature wise, err best=young looks, worst=being overweight

5) If a film was made of your life. Who would you cast to play you? And Why?
Easy!!

Alan Rickman for he is a God! and a good actor who could bring the right amount of comedy to the part, yet still pull it off with style.

Interview by EvilGothGnome.

1. Why the dragon icons?
Well I have always used a dragon in some form or other on most the logos, icons I use.  It also fits in with the name penddraig (Pen Dragon). I have been using the Handle/NickName/Nom de plume since the early days of the Internet.

2. What is stupidest thing you have ever done?
The stupidest thing I have ever done? Now that’s a hard one, picking just one stupid incident from a long life of stupidity! But lets see? Err, I suppose turning down the high paid job in Cheltenham, that came with an impressive starting wage, flexitime the works, But I was unable at that time to move away from the area for personal reasons . But it was a stupid thing to do.

3. If you could change one thing in your past, what would it be and why?
Well one regret I have, which could also have been used into the previous question as a stupid thing I have done, was the way I dealt with something on my first trip to Dublin. I was walking along the road heading out for a nights drinking, when an extremely cute girl started walking down towards me, so being me, as she walked past I turned around to check her out from the rear, Only to discover she was doing the same to me. So busted we stopped walking, smiled at each other, she waved sheepishly, so I waved back, turned and continued on my way to the pub, only to start kicking myself later for not going over to chat and taking her out to the pub with me.

So I would like to go back and change that moment, for she was stunning.

4. Firearm or Blade?
Depends on the situation. For death from a long distance you can’t beat a sniper rifle, but for up close, silent death then it’s a blade. So to answer that : –

It depends on the situation.

5. What does your name mean?
Pendragon.
A Chief leader or a king; a head; a dictator,
— a title assumed by the ancient British chiefs when called to lead other chiefs.

Interview by PlanetPete.

1. What got you into paganism/alternative beliefs ?
Good question!

It’s hard to say, Its been so long. I know as a kid growing up I used to overdose on watching the old black and white hammer horror films that were always playing late at night, and loved reading horror books. I also read a lot of the mythology of wales, and was intrigued by the powers in them, especially as I used to have loads of dreams that would later come true, seeing strange things, and such. And reading about the mythological witches/wizards led to reading about real ones, which led to druidism, shamanism, paganism, and so on. So I have been into it for almost as long as I can remember. There was also a family incident at a witchcraft museum when I was really young, that affected the whole family, but I will not go into on an open board, for its private, and personal.

So basically I just grew into it at an early age.

2. If you could get away with murder, who would you kill and by what method?
Ah, but If I answer this question, and then by pure coincidence that person were to have an accident where by they accidentally got decapitated while crawling through the cat flap to escape the fire, people may think It was I that what dun it, guv!

To be honest, I don’t think I hate anyone enough to actually murder them, and blacken my souls progress, Beat them to a bloody pulp yes, murder no. I may not be between the gates yet, but I can see them!

3.Do people that give up Caffeine become more aggressive than those that do not ?
Nope, Caffeine withdrawal does not make you at all more aggressive than you normally are, but that’s just my opinion and if you want to make something off it then your in for a major shoeing!!! And RELAX!! nope, I think my tolerance for net-work is just low at the minute, more work, more idiots, no pay rise, no fun, just getting to me, and nothing to do with the giving up coffee for a detox…

4. If you met the DR what would you ask him?
I would ask could I travel with him for a while, to see the future, special times from the past, and visit new worlds, and ask how things work, so that I could build myself some cool gadgets. and save a few worlds, it would be cool. Or if I could only have 1 trip, it would be to go see the mothership :0)

5. Out of all the people you have considered friends who has given you the most agro.. and why do you put up with them for this ?
Hum, tricky question as I have known some awkward gits… But the one who has given me the most agro and yet is still considered a friend, I suppose would have to be, for crimes against me too long and sordid to mention here in polite company. And I suppose I put up with her because she knows where the bodies are buried and I have not got round to moving them yet.

Or I’m still waiting for her to fulfil her part of the deal and fit me up with some nice lass!!!

bonus question …
It farmers Tourette’s contagious?

I suppose the best answer to this is :-

FISH!

Interview by Ammos.

1. If you met the perfect woman what would your first date be like?
What would you do?
Ah. A hypothetical question, For there is no perfect woman :0)

Well we would start off on a tour of her families brewery, before jumping on her private jet and shooting off to Egypt for a lovely picnic on the top of a pyramid watching the sun go down. Then a quick helicopter ride to her cruise ship for a night time cruise down the Nile with her three identical clones for some multi-person fun!

Well there is no such thing as the “Perfect Woman” so I can have a make believe first date!
(ask any bloke if they know someone who dated/married a woman who’s beautiful and intelligent and all bar REDACTED will say NO 🙂 )

2. Chocolate or sex and why?
Easy one. I may be in touch with my feminine side, and I may have nothing but sweet teeth, and have a love of chocolate, cakes, and all things similar (As my waistline shows) But at the end of the day I am male, and as such most my thinking is done with my second brain, and as such there can be only one answer. SEX!!

Well chocolate only lasts a minute and its gone, never to be re seen, while sex can last much longer, and can be done over and over and over…

3. What does doing martial arts bring to your life?
Well on the plus side it brings an increased confidence, an outlet for my psychotic tendencies, and new friends who would help you move bodies, and a way to prevent me becoming the type of potato person most desk based IT people become over time.

But it also brings constant bruises, paranoia, and an increase in psychotic tendencies, and meeting lots of new scary people who would help you move the bodies.

4. Whats your favourite place to visit and why? Also if you could go anywhere at all would you have a different favourite place and if yes what would it be?
Hummm, decisions, decisions… Well for peace, tranquility, and the chance to think I would day “Castel Dinas Bran”.. But as all time Fav, I’ll go for the “Whitby Goth Weekend”, you get a great bunch of people, decent music, in a lovely village, the peace of the abbey, the great pubs, and every time you do a pub crawl or spend time just sitting in a pub you make loads of new friends, and have a great time…

As to the second part of the Question, Its hard to say, I can answer YES if i had access to anywhere in the world, then my fav place would change, but where to pick, I want to see the egypt, and the inca ruins, and japan, New Orleans, and so on… But would these places live up to their expectations or be less impressive in reality. No, I have it, If I could go anywhere, I would pick Atlantis :0)

5. If you had an unlimited amount of wealth suddenly what would you do with the money? What would your first large purchase be? Also do you think that having truly gross sums of money would change you and if yes how?
:0) Let me take a moment to sit back and enjoy the idea……….

Ok back now. My first large purchase would be a large chunk of welsh woodland to build myself a house. Then I would use my new wealth to give up work, and finance explorations for places like Atlantis, and to study the hidden rooms in the pyramids, and the chamber in Roslyn chapel… While living a playboy lifestyle, as I got myself super fit with a bunch of cool gadgets and an outfit that strikes fear into the criminal, err one second that’s Bruce Wayne.

Ok forget the crime fighting bit, but otherwise the playboy lifestyle, while investigating stuff that interests me would be great. So yes it would change me, I’d be happier, less stressed, have more free time, and a much better gadget selection, and have plenty of time to do all the stuff i like!!
