1. My favourite meat is venison.
2. I enjoy sushi.
3. I have dined in a Michelin starred restaurant.

#2 is correct. I've never been to a live professional match on either side of the Atlantic.

I think you never lived in Shepherd's Bush.

Nope, I was busy living it up in my mansion in Chelsea, spending a few months out of the year in my penthouse overlooking Central Park.

I'm sure you told me you've never been to Ireland.

1. My favourite journalist is Peter Hitchens.
2. I voted Brexit.
3. I'm a fan of Donald Trump.

#3 for you!

I have been to Ireland, but Croagh Patrick is really a hill, as is Sugarloaf. Only the most advanced climbers touch El Capitan.

Yes.

As a child I:

1. Stole a pack of smoked cheese from a supermarket - accidentally.
2. Hit my sister with a metal model of a bus.
3. Stuck pins in bits of bread and threw them to starving dogs.

Of course! It's Smerdyakov's trick from Brothers Karamazov. He teaches it to Ilusha. I'd never harm a doggy, even as a child.

He also enjoyed hanging cats and performing weird funereal rites over their bodies. There's something wryly funny about how sick Dostoevsky's imagination was. Smerdyakov is hilarious even at his most evil, somehow, in a way no other characters could be. There's just something so quintessentially Russian about his cruelty.

Yes, I agree. I always think of the memory in C & P when he sees Mikolka beat the old carthorse to death. I teared up in a way I never could for the murder of the pawnbroker.

#2 because I don't know what Python is :oops:
