Default Who's your role model?

Can be anyone past or present, natural or supernatural, historical or fictitious. It could be a character from a cartoon or play or book, a sportsperson, a celebrity, you, a work colleague, politician or parent - it doesn't matter so long as you describe the ideal to which you aspire.

That's part one. So you consider yourself ideal?

Just small things like saying how everyone was entitled to an opinion (if I didn't agree with what someone said), or how he didn't see the sense in putting your full beams on to blind someone who hadn't dipped theirs - "because then there will be two blind men driving towards each-other" - are a few examples of his gems of common sense and levelheadedness. He was such a rational thinker and a gentleman, who always seemed more interested in other people's happiness than his own. He was happy in his retirement just watching the world go by, as he was curious about everything.

When he had cancer, and knew he only had weeks to live, he would lie in bed during the night in total discomfort and what must have felt like boiling heat because my gran would 'get a draft on her neck' from any open window.

That's about as close to a role model as I have anyway

Any of the selfless, altruistic and brave people from our times. Martin Luther King, Dalai Lama, Aung San Suu Kyi and Quaid-e-Azam take your pick.

Bioforger is a living god

But my role model is our very own Bigarf, and decent, honest bloke who is a complete fast car nut.

I wish I were as happy, in the face of adversity, and as fast as he is...

Jesus isn't getting much of a mention, nor Allah for that matter!
