You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

I am mortified that we went into Afghanistan, promised to liberate the female population and, 20 years later, dumped them in a situation as bad, robbing girls of their futures.
My children. I was away an awful lot when they were little and not very good at being a father when I was around. I could have done better.
My husband, Ludo, for not really getting why war movies are fun to watch.
To my parents, for being such a bitch.
People who think they’re always right.
Loved you in Dallas.
Becoming deaf and blind, which is what happened to my father.
Two ears. I am deaf in my right ear and I’ve just developed musical tinnitus – it’s not an interesting tune and you don’t choose it. I had three weeks of Hare Krishna night and day. Then it changed to Rod Stewart’s Sailing.
Well, I’m always right.
It is all there is.
