From my experience it's a great idea. I wasn't a fan of G+ until we thought about using it for bringing people into the Blurtit community. However, since using it for work my perception of the platform has completely changed, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

This is because I think it strikes a great balance … Read more

So this is a question I've been wondering for a while, "who is the REAL Dan Banks?"

I sat down with him and had a chat about his passions, love life, and interests. This is what he had to say:

Kass: So, how did you end up being a part of the Blurtit team?

As my bio bar already suggests, my favorite HBO series is Boardwalk Empire.

Why? Because it contains all the ingredients I love in a TV show (or entertainment in general):

Alcohol - based in prohibition Atlantic City, the entire show is based around the illegal liquor trade.

Short answer: Yes.

Long-Term Health Effects

Nobody can say what the long-term effects of using electronic cigarettes are, as they haven't been around for that long. However, it goes without saying that they're better for you than traditional cigarettes, and considering what they contain, there's nothing to suggest that they're harmful.

Tough question, as there are so many great comedy characters to choose from, even though other people have already picked three superb ones: Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey from "Yes, Minister", and Bernard Black from "Black Books".

Questions about people's life problems. I'm normally good at helping fellow teenagers in their "find myself" years. I like the Psychology side of things. Answering questions about people's low self esteem and negativity, basically helping others to be more positive and to love life.

I was young during the 1980's but remember a lot about the decade.

I think the best things about the eighties were:

Awesome films

There are so many good films from the 80's. The best feature of these films is that they are short and highly entertaining. My favorites are:
