    Ah ha! Brexit questions... now that I can do! As a strong believer in democracy and venture capitalism I wholly support turning the whole of Kent into a Lorry park as long as my company gets the contract to build it .... Think of the OT!

    Welcome to the interview process! Fellow vikings will be asking you questions to get to know you better, which last for 2-3 days. Just answer honestly and expect anything. My questions -- What's the story behind your gamer-tag? What's the discord channel that your received the recommendation?

    Good question, so regarding my gamer-tag one of my favourite books was Jeeves and Wooster by PG Wodehouse. The TV adaptation by Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry was one of the best TV series I've ever watched. There was a fictional character who was based on a chap around at the time called Oswald Mosley who led a wannabe fascist organisation in the 1930's. Sir Roderik Spode was a mockery of this notion of fascism, it ridiculed the movement and those who fell for its appeal. If you are acquainted with the ongoing culture war, I could tell you more should you be interested but at the risk of boring you, if I haven't already... I will leave it there :)

    The discord channel that I was recommended from was called Athens, primarily a server run by a Youtuber called Sargon of Akkad. A classical British liberal that is heavily engaged in the culture war.

    It's here that I must stress that I only engage in political discussion if prompted or requested. Otherwise it can be like waving a penis around that people don't want to have to deal with and makes everyone feel awkward.

    Love that series.

    So when you aren't out out wearing a Guy Fawkes mask or paving over countryside (or both), what else do you like to do away from the screen?

    Mainly looking after the zoo the missus and I have acquired, rabbits, Geckos, Chinchillas plus many more and we re-home ex-battery chickens so I spend a lot of time cleaning up after these industrial poop machines. My other hobby is Astronomy and I am the proud owner of a Celestron Nexstar 8SE.

    Well, that album was probably one of my favorite that was recently released. Wasn't sure what to expect from Amon Amarth for a concept album, but I was not disappointed.
