LPSG Spotlight: Drifterwood

[D_Gunther Snotpole]

Drifterwood is one of our peripatetic, um, members … as at home in a Kowloon opium den as in the most high-toned salons of London.

Loves his tipple, loves his women, loves the 'good life' … but he’s a defender of the downtrodden too.

He’s been around these precincts, under one ID or another, since summer of 2004.

He’s always made friends easily, has been one of the more frank-talkin’ members, and has a knack of stating his piece with pith and wit and some crazy kind of Brit sleekness.

(I notice that he seems to be completely impotent, though. Under ‘sexual orientation,’ he once wrote ‘no response,’ a tragedy in a man so young.)

There’s something unshakable about ol’ Drifter.

And he’s agreed to step into today’s LPSG Spotlight.

It’s already 5 p.m. where he is, so there may be a late evening hiatus in his responses.

So, Laaadies and Gentlemennn … tonight, on our stage, more or less alive, from … huh? London, Wales, somewhere in Britain … the intelligent, the controversial, the always witty and amusing … Drifter!!!

Some openers:


Where are you now, boi?
Have you decided to follow the swallows to Africa this winter?
Have you ever felt even a twinge of attraction towards a man? At Eton, say? You know, Evelyn Waugh stuff?
Just exactly how do you earn your living? Does HMRC know?
Do you speak Cymraeg?
How did you find LPSG?
How have your feelings about the site changed over time? How so?
Do you belong to other boards?
Soccer or rugby?
When will hockey come to Wales?
Is it true that you are the prime financial backer and the coach-behind-the-coach of the Derby County Football Club? (We believe you are.)

So, Laaadies and Gentlemennn … tonight, on our stage, more or less alive, from … huh? London, Wales, somewhere in Britain … the intelligent, the controversial, the always witty and amusing … Drifter!!!

How can I ever thank you

Some openers:


Where are you now, boi?

In a battleship off the shoulder of Orion, AKA Home in North Wales.

Have you decided to follow the swallows to Africa this winter?

Not yet, I am extremely busy with work at the moment, but if it keeps raining, I am going to have to escape at some point.

Have you ever felt even a twinge of attraction towards a man? At Eton, say? You know, Evelyn Waugh stuff?

I have always been attracted to men, some men, just not sexually. What the hell do you think sheep are for?

Just exactly how do you earn your living? Does HMRC know?

I am the Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg of Wales. They work for me.

Do you speak Cymraeg?

Yes, though not as well as I would like.

How did you find LPSG?

I googled "sexy, charming Canadians with enormous cocks".

How have your feelings about the site changed over time? How so?

Well, it's certainly different. The Mods destroy the trolls a bit too fast now. It's been too long since we had a good day of troll baiting.

Do you belong to other boards?

No, though I am signed up to one or two other places. I don't have the spare time and if I get involved with something, I like to be involved.

Soccer or rugby?

Rugby

When will hockey come to Wales?

We have a ladies team apparently. You mean on ice, don't you? Perhaps the next ice age.

Is it true that you are the prime financial backer and the coach-behind-the-coach of the Derby County Football Club? (We believe you are.)

Then who am I to argue.

How do you split the quotes? This could take me all day :smile:

 

[D_Jared Padalicki]

Tbh, I don't know you Drifterwood, so what would you tell me about yourself when we will meet each other?

 

[jeff black]

Personally,I think you should just do what you did for Rubi.

Btw, I'm pretty stoked you got picked. I've got a million questions for you.:biggrin1:

1) What would you say is your greatest acheivement to date?
2) Have you ever looked at your cock and thought, "Wow, that's too big"?
3) Speaking of Rubi, do you always understand what he says?
4) What's your favourite film?
5) Are you still shoving icecubes under your foreskin?
6) If you were sentenced to death and had a last request, what would it be?
7) What are your opinions on the following things?:

• potato chips
• world peace
• Great white sharks
• Scented candles
• Vibrators
• Do it yourself books
• LPSG

8) Have you ever scubadived? If so, did you enjoy it?
9) Do you have a greatest fear?
10) Will the world ever run out of room?
11) How many bedrooms do you have in your house?
12) Are you travelling often?
13) If you could take credit for inventing one thing, what would you choose and why?
14) Tell us about a time in your life when you were truly embarassed.

Not quite a million, but certainly more than some.

What is your current state of mind?

I am feeling a certain amount of trepidation because of the global and local economic situation. Uncertainty is both exciting yet concerning.

Cathay Pacific or British Air?

Both are very good, or have been to me recently. I'll have to go Cathay, simply because they are a bit more exotic.

Have you ever been to the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok?

No - should I? Is it better that the Banyan, 4 Seasons or Shangri La? :smile:

What is you favorite thing about living in the country?

Space and personal involvement with the elements.

Have you ever thought about settling down and moving to the suburbs?

I'd rather shoot myself.

In your vast travels what place has captivated you the most?

This is a pretty impossible question and the answer may change every hour. Sailing through the desert on the Nile at dusk is quite something. The majesty of the Himalayas is something else. Watching millions of people rushing around Shanghai is also awesome and confusing. Swimming in a deserted cove on a Greek Island, just floating and looking up to the heavens.

What qualities do you most admire in others?

Resilience. I admire people who can pick themselves up, dust themselves down and get on with it again.

What is your favorite holiday?

I have travelled for work so much in the last few years that I have got out of holidays somewhat, planes and more hotels. I need to start doing those adventure type things. Actually I do have one planned. And of course, sailing.

What is your favorite way to spend an evening? (besides the obvious!)

Balvenie, Bach and Buggery :biggrin1:

Do you ever come to NYC?

I haven't been for some time, though I have always enjoyed it when I have. I had some great friends who lived there during their twenties, but they have moved to Jersey now.

Will you really meet me in London for Fish and Chips?

One should never say never - you can be surprised :wink:

Have you read the book The Origin of the Consciousness of the Bicameral Mind?

No. You can bet I will now though.

If you could give everyone at LPSG your best advice...what would it be?

Know yourself. It's very simple but extremely difficult especially as we evolve as people.

I may have to pop out for another bottle.

 

[Drifterwood]

Tell us about an adventure you haven't pursued - yet.

I haven't sailed across an Ocean yet.

What do you enjoy most in your life right now?

Not enough is the true answer. My sex life has been very interesting and I am involved in some exciting work projects, though the things that I would really like to do are eluding me because of the responsibilities I have in the current climate. So that is weighing quite hard.

What is a moment of perfect peace for you?

Floating in a warm sea.

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

The ones that you take for granted when you do them, but when you look back as you get older, you think, OK that was pretty cool. Some sporting and academic ones spring to mind and I started my own business with nothing.

When are you going to finally employ my interior design services?

When are you going to employ mine? :tongue:

 

[D_Tintagel_Demondong]

I know that it's been asked of you before--hundreds of times:

How the hell do you pay the bills?

I'm guessing that you own several antique shops or you are an importer/exporter of exotic goods. Until we get an answer, well continue to speculate.

 

[Drifterwood]

Personally,I think you should just do what you did for Rubi.

Btw, I'm pretty stoked you got picked. I've got a million questions for you.:biggrin1:

1) What would you say is your greatest acheivement to date?

Staying alive this long.

2) Have you ever looked at your cock and thought, "Wow, that's too big"?

Only when I am trying on trousers.

3) Speaking of Rubi, do you always understand what he says?

More than he does, but not always.

4) What's your favourite film?

Blade Runner.

5) Are you still shoving icecubes under your foreskin?

No. Though I could be tempted :biggrin1:

6) If you were sentenced to death and had a last request, what would it be?

A firing squad with bad aim.


7) What are your opinions on the following things?:

• potato chips - Yuk - give me more.
• world peace - As likely as a one legged man winning an ass kicking competition. But we should still hope and do what we can to make things better.
• Great white sharks - Bad PR, beautifully evolved.
• Scented candles - for women (though I quite like them)
• Vibrators - ditto
• Do it yourself books - erotic fiction
• LPSG - Ditto

8) Have you ever scubadived? If so, did you enjoy it?

Yes and yes. I snorkel more.


9) Do you have a greatest fear?

I came face to face with an animal that could have eaten me last year. That concentrated the mind.

10) Will the world ever run out of room?

No - well obviously we have made it so for some now extinct animals. We'll likely do the same to ourselves.

11) How many bedrooms do you have in your house?

Seven in this one, but you're still in the outhouse.

12) Are you travelling often?

I have been in at least one foreign country every month this year. It has been too much.

13) If you could take credit for inventing one thing, what would you choose and why?

Apart from Medicine, it would be The Simpsons or such, Sth Prk or Family Guy. These shows entertain a lot of people, which is good.

14) Tell us about a time in your life when you were truly embarassed.

I get embarassed when I do something dumb and I am very capable of that, or is that shame? I split my pants trying to change a tyre on the side of the motorway once. I was very John Cleese about it, though everyone laughed a lot when I marched through the service station.

Not quite a million, but certainly more than some.

I didn't ask you enough when I had the chance.

 

[Drifterwood]

Tbh, I don't know you Drifterwood, so what would you tell me about yourself when we will meet each other?

I'll pay, lunch at Aux Armes de Bruxelles.

 

[jeff black]

I'll pay, lunch at Aux Armes de Bruxelles.

One hopes you will pay when you come to Canada too.:smile:

 

[Drifterwood]

1. At what age did you discover you could breathe using just your ears?

At about the same age that you realised you made more sense when you talked out of your arse.

1. Did that make a profound change to your life's ambitions?

I am in honesty very unambitious.

1. Which Nobel Prize(s) would you have achieved by now, had you not been waylaid by muff?

You mean there isn't a Nobel Prize for Muff - for fucks sake, there goes my one ambition :biggrin1:

 

[ManlyBanisters]

Drifter - you big baxtard! :wink:

If you were to suddenly fall off the wagon vis-a-vis religion which religion do you think you might go for? And why?

If you had to shag Jeremy Clarkson or Jeffrey Archer or die would you choose poison or hanging? :biggrin:

Best episode of Father Ted?

Spaniels or collies?

What event (in common knowledge terms, not in your personal life) in the last 30 years has stayed with you more than any other?

Jeans or slacks?

Acoustic or electric?

One thing you feel you really must do before you die?

American style coffee or French café?

Nureyev and Fonteyn or Nureyev and Piggy?

Is it cold out there? :tongue:

 

[got_lost]

Fellow welshman.....


What is your favourite appliance in the kitchen?

Duvet or sheets and blanket?

Do you sleep well on airplanes? What do you do when you're awake on them?

Did you ever have pics of you in your gallery? Has anyone from here ever seen you?

Are you a good cook? What's your speciality?

 

[B_cigarbabe]

When will you come to Boston and go diving in me?
cigarbabe:saevil:

 

[D_Jared Padalicki]

I'll pay, lunch at Aux Armes de Bruxelles.

That is a deal! And I have to admit, I eat a lot! And by a lot, I mean a lot! :biggrin1:

 

[Northland]

Do you believe in the meaning of life and if so then how would you define the meaning of life?


(and would you mind correctly punctuating my above question?)

 

[Not_Punny]

I have adored DW ever since I noticed how unusually odd he was.
