Liebster Award

Thank you, Mulier Fortis for this! I am honoured!

1. What inspired the title of your blog? Irony. Left-footer is a disparaging protestant term for a Catholic
2. Why did you start to blog? To dispel my rage.
3. What is your personal favourite post on your blog? The verses about St.Nicholas and Arius.
4. What has been the most popular (most viewed) post on your blog? The verses about St.Nicholas and Arius.
5. Which post on your blog has attracted most comments? How do I find out?
6. What other hobbies or interests (beyond blogging) are you prepared to admit to? Playing flute, saxophone, violin, reading (mainly history and poetry), writing verse, photography.
7. What has been your closest brush with death? Not being killed by a V1 rocket as a child. I saw the corpses of three men who were killed.
8. Where is your favourite place of pilgrimage, and why? Częstochowa, because it is so very happy, jolly even, sacred, and houses the Black Madonna.
9. Who is your favourite spiritual author, and why? G. K. Chesterton, because he writes as I think.
10. Have you ever experienced a miracle? Lots. Whenever I strike a monetary deal with St Antony, I find what I am looking for.
11. Which of these questions did you find it most difficult to answer? No 6: impossible.

Fun, well, rather boring, facts:

1. I belong to a Polish Walrus club. We swim in the sea between October and April.
2. I have an almost pathological interest in languages
3. I loathe, beef, English breakfasts,  Wagner and Beethoven's 9th symphony.
4. I live very happily in Poland.
5. I am not a team player, and have no team-spirit.
6. I am too fat because Polish food is irresistible.
7. I get very angry about history. If I had a time machine, I would do my best to dispatch Xerxes, Cyrus, any number of pharoahs, Julius Caesar, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I - the list is very long.
8. I read newspapers only when on the internet and free of charge, and as little as possible because of the stupidity, lies, and downright bad English written by most journalists. I fear linguistic contamination.
9. I can sleep standing up, and often do so when bored, in Church, for example. I can, and do, sleep anywhere.
10. I consider the last half (only half) decent British Prime Minister to have been Harold MacMillan.
11. I have Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry and refuse to consider myself English.
12. Bonus: I hate what to me does not make sense, "speaking in tongues" for example.

And now I have to think about nine nominees. Tomorrow, I hope.
