KPOP music is something I have started listening to more since my daughter became a huge fan of BTS and started listening to them and other KPOP artists more over the last 4 years. I don't mind listening to some KPOP as some of it is really good and enjoyable and it's a different kind of music so a breath of fresh air to listen to. Do you listen to KPOP?

I remember when I was younger, I used to love going to live concerts. In my time going to live concerts I went to see Barry Manilow, Five and also Atomic Kitten, A1, and Bomfunk MCs to name a few, and loved them. Nowadays due to my health and mental health, I find it hard to be in really busy places so live concerts are not always something I would go to now. If you could see anyone live, who would you want to see?

I understand that everyone has different political views from me and that does not affect the relationship or friendship that I have with someone at all. I respect their views and opinions and I expect them to respect mine as well. I tend to not go into political discussions as it can sometimes cause a lot of issues.

I think the last time I was really surprised was when I was streaming and someone kindly made a huge donation during a tough time to help me give my kids a Christmas. I was surprised and overwhelmed at the same time it was crazy.

Having a 17" laptop would be amazing if it wasn't something I was carrying around a lot. When I have a laptop I like to be able to carry it around and use it in different places so a 17" would be too big for me. I would much rather have a 15" that I could carry around easily enough.

I do love the look of water cooling but to me, water and electricity just do not mix and should never be near one another so it is not something I will ever have on my PC at all. I have seen many people who have it and they have had no issues with it but I would rather not take the risk.

I would love to upgrade my PC to Windows 11 but the hardware is old now and it will not run Windows 11 at all. My son got himself a new PC last year in September and he has Windows 11 installed on it so I have used it and I do like it and I am a little gutted I can not have it on my own PC but hoping when I can to upgrade my PC and be able to use Windows 11.

I have used Canva for many things and it has been amazing to use. I have used it a few times to create videos for YouTube and I am now looking into it for graphic work as well. I have seen many people use Canva for graphics and they look amazing so I would like to give that a shot when I have the time.

I do feel as though YouTube does give those that are more popular the better end of YouTube. I have been on YouTube for a while and I was pushing content out almost consistently for 5 years. I still now struggle to get the push I need to reach partner even though I put the work in. YouTube used to be a platform for everyone but now it seems like it's more of a platform for those who can make YouTube the most money and that is sad to see.

I have played games on PC and console and it seems that when it comes to FPS or even Battle Royale I prefer to play on console with a controller but with anything else away from FPS, shooters, or even Battle Royales I don't mind playing on PC. Unfortunately, my PC at the moment is getting old, the hardware is quite old so it will not run games like it used to and especially not the latest games. I tend to play more on a console now because of that.

Has to be Pepsi for me. Ever since they released Pepsi Max and I tried that instead of Coca-Cola one time, I was pretty much hooked. The flavor of Pepsi Max is just a lot better in comparison to Coca-Cola and now I can't seem to go back to Coca-Cola.

I use both a desktop and a laptop but the laptop I have at the moment is almost 9 years old, only runs Linux now and the keyboard isn't working the greatest making it difficult to type. Due to that I use my desktop more so now than I used to but would love to get a new laptop if I was ever given the chance.

I live in England, UK and over here all kids have to wear a blazer, tie, dress pants and black leather shoes. They also can not wear ankle socks either. It is quite strict. I can understand them having a uniform so that all children dress the same and there is no competition but I never understood the strictness of some of the uniform.

I haven't done much on YouTube due to work commitments but I am hoping to start uploading more shorts and possibly more long-form videos if I have the time. My uploads are mostly video game related with a lot of Fortnite-related content 🙂 I also post random shorts from TikTok as well from time to time. https://www.youtube.com/shortiegamez

I still have a Facebook account myself but I only use it now to keep in touch with some friends and family and it is very rare I go on there to share anything now or even scroll a lot of the time. I found that Facebook became more for people to air their personal issues in public and it brought a lot of drama or you have people posting everything good happening in their life but nothing regarding anything bad and it can give a false picture of how everyone else's life is going.

As much as I would love to have a dedicated room for instruments where not only myself but my children go go and play and also practice, it is not something that is possible in my house with all rooms being used for a purpose. My auntie who worked as a music teacher most of her life and now plays in bands and does live gigs and pubs and events has a music room where she practices and keeps her instruments.

I used to listen to the radio all the time years ago but now, I tend to use either Amazon Music or Spotify instead of the radio. The last time I listened to the radio was when I listened to it at Christmas. The radio station I was listening to was Magic and from 27th November until 28th December they do a Magic Christmas which is nonstop Christmas music and I listened to that when I was busy in the house.

I remember playing musical chairs a lot as a kid, it was always at parties it would be one of the most popular games that we played at parties with friends. I have known adults to play it at adult-themed parties but it's not been something I have taken part in as an adult at all. I can imagine how much fun it would be as an adult.

I have subscribed to Disney Plus in the past for times when we have wanted to watch something on there. I tend to keep it until we no longer use it and then cancel the subscription and pull it back again if we ever feel we will use it again. The last time I subscribed to Disney Plus was last year when my daughter wanted to watch a BTS concert that they had on there and also so I could watch Hocus Pocus 2.

The last thing I watched that I am still watching at the moment is the Snooker World Championships. I love watching this each year in April up until the May Bank Holiday. Nice to see those who have been playing for years still playing now in the World Championships and also seeing new players turning professional as well.

I haven't got a filing cabinet, no. Anything in terms of paper work that I need to store I tend to have plastic wallets for them or plastic folders to keep them in so that I can keep everything in order. Not sure I would have the room for a filing cabinet to be honest and I feel that would be too big for what I need to keep in terms of paper work.

I have definitely noticed a huge difference in trolls that come on forums now to cause trouble or just do what they can to make a forum owner's life difficult. I feel a lot of the trolls that used to frequent forums now have turned their interests to social media and a lot of the trolls we see now on social media are probably those who used to troll on forums. We may still see some trolls on forums but it is never anything as bad as it used to be.

I have been bitten once by my cat when she was getting a little too over-excited when we were playing. She accidentally caught me when and I bled a little but it wasn't anything too bad. I have also been bitten by guinea pigs that we have had and still had. Again harmless and only a little break of the skin, usually happens if I am feeding them something like an apple and they get excited and catch my finger instead.

I had surround sound once way back and as much as I was excited about it, once I had it, it never felt the same. I guess with surround sound you expect the sound to be just like you would get it in the cinema and when it's not like that it can be a disappointment.

I can't say I buy physical media as much as I used to now since places like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and even Disney Plus and another where I live which is Now TV became more popular. I would much rather now just watch things through a subscription that I have rather than buy them physically.
