I had the urge to finally get a blog going on here, but alas had no real killer topic that was at the forefront of my mind.

I do quite like to hear about other people's lives, and I hope that I am a relatively known-enough poster that people would be a bit curious about the man behind the nickname so to speak.

Alternatively there may be no interest, and this initial foray into the terrifying world of blogging will sink without a trace.

Do you ever wish you were a real bat?

Do you play mobas? If yes, and your team has a really good combo, do you insist on calling it a Womba combo?

What's the whether like where you live?

What's your favorite food?

How old is your oldest niece?


First 5 questions to come to mind :D

I don't particularly desire to be a bat, be it in the womb or not. My late father worked in the world-renowned BBC and for some reason all their computer passwords were antipodean animals, so I have held a vague affection for the Wombat since then.

I have an irrational dislike of MOBAs, because for some reason I'm terrible at them. I would however utilise your term if the situation arose. If I ever led a resistance movement and had to devise my own form of guerrilla warfare I would entitle it 'Wombat Combat' in the same vein.

The weather is pretty temperate in Northern Ireland, there's quite a bit of rain and the thermometer rarely hits the 20s in Celsius. That said it's been pretty damn hot (by our standards) and humid for weeks. Not my kind of weather, I genuinely quite like the cold, hate having sweaty balls and stuff like that.

I guess something mundane like pizza. I am not a big food lover all round, I generally try to eat as quickly as possible and utilise it merely for its energy release to fuel TL browsing.

I don't know, I think she's 18 now. Weirdly enough she apparently used to have a crush on me, a lot of her friends would creep me on Facebook and whatnot.

What's the state of Northern Ireland catholicism vs protestantism conflict from your point of view?

How people in Northern Ireland even identify themselves? English? Irish? 'The other' Irish or something?

Is it true that Ireland has so many open plains / swamps and very few forests?

Any good NI beer brands you could reccomend to foreigners?

Sorry if any of those questions seems ignorant to you...

Couching it as Catholicism vs Protestantism I guess isn't how I look at it. It's more an issue of national identity, though the two religions do feed into it. It's hard to tell, the circles I run in and the background I have it's close to a non-issue, but among the country as a whole it does still resonate as a big issue.

I'm not particularly well travelled within Ireland itself, but Ireland is quite flat and wet so I would imagine there are swamps. There are a few forests I've campred in and yeah, plains are a rather common feature of our landscape from my experience. It's a pretty green place if nothing else

I'm not sure sure on local beers. The only one I've really sampled, bar really local beers is Harp, which is a pretty standard mass-made lager. Certainly not bad, but nothing to write home about.

Wombat, my name is visible in the posts that I make. I feel hurt, we have exchanged posts on TL too!

I don't lift. I figure I am in pretty much as good shape as you can be in with doing no physical exercise and smoking though. I don't have any pics that really prove the magnificence of my latent physique though, bar my cheekbones

Hm, you could potentially emigrate and obtain citizenship. Alternatively, you could look at your family tree, claim an Irish ancestry of between a 16th and a 64th and behave as if it is equivalent to being born and bred there. Plenty of your American brethren do this to great effect.

Do you speak with an Irish accent?

Also what do you think of Luna's soundboard in DotA 2? Do you find her accent ridiculous?

What about Lone Druid's?

Do you drink Irish coffee? What's your favorite brand of Irish whiskey?

A Wallaby would defeat a Wombat in the open field of battle with their superior musculature and stride length. However the Wombat has the ability to create relatively complex burrows underground, which I feel would swing that particular standoff in the favour of the Wombat, given sufficiently developed guerrilla warfare techniques.

It is more in hope than expectation. A combination of a nice snappy nick, some pretty consistent spam and being one of a rather endangered species as a Northern Irish poster on TL.

I apparently sound American, but I don't see that myself, you can make your own judgement on that

I am not a big MOBA fan, and it's a bit of a dodgy accent but there are traces of the Northern accent. She sounds like a pretty feisty lady from what I can tell

Lone druids I have no opinion on, other than solitude is not necessarily a bad thing

Up North, no. This is a bit over the top but we talk more like this in Belfast


Yeah we do drink a fair amount, but from my travels the Finns completely own us at that particular activity

Do you have hope for the future of the world, or do you think there's going to be a series of environmental and economic disasters that will plunge all of us into the dark ages?
