What were you doing five years ago?
Treading water in a house-share in Shoreditch, the last I ever had; preparing to move to Ilford and my first single flat.

What are five things on your to-do list for today (not in any particular order)?
Finish a translation job
Complete a rather grim essay I just might post here, titled Things I learned the hard way, which is all about debt and money and time management, inspired by the news this morning that millions of Britons are suffering from debt.
Go to Mass
Wash the dishes.
Make a start on a document that a public authority requires.

Ice cream
Tramezzino (impossibly caloric Rome snack sandwich, heavy on the mayo)
Corn chips
cashew nuts
pretzels and similar salty snack buscuits

What five things would you do if you were a billionaire?
Buy annuities for myself, my relations and select friends.
Track down Debbie and see how she is, and make sure that she has anything she needs.
Set up a household so I can work on my comics and my research full-time (a nice house with a live-in servant or two - not for show, but to avoid having to do all the household chores myself)
Set up a comics publisher intended to publish all the dozens of brilliant people who currently get less than their fair chance.
Help anyone I know who needs help.

What are five of your bad habits?
Anger
Sloth
Anger
Sloth
Anger

Monza
Milan
Rome
Oxford
London

Soldier
Macdonald's crew member (pretty much the same)

Your cities lived in make me whimper with jealousy.

It's far, far too hot to do memes, but thank you for thinking of me!

I am being selfish. You are one person I really want to know more about.
