Further to my comrades work, I feel that i should too - fill in the quiz that I created... I ought to say too, if anyone else fancies having a go - it would be particularly interesting to see how the love2lead types feel about love (especially hooved mammals and their place in the spectrum!)
Right - here we go!
Sum up love in but a single word (or a couple if you have to) - Champion!
Do you think you can ever be in true, unrequited, love? Oh yes... If Sophie Ellis Bextor (odd choice a lot of people say) came-a-calling, my love would be absolutely, ABSOLUTELY unrequited.
Do you think you can ever be in true, unrequited, hate? Yeah - I think hate can consume people entirely. I wou'dn't be sucked into anything that heavily though, especially hate - just can't be bothered really :-)
Can you love someone, even if they smell repulsive? Hell… would you even sleep with them? Yes - If it was S-E-B. Otherwise i love curry and that kinda stinks. OK, I wouldn't sleep with it (unless I had ordered it on a drunken night, passed out and well... dropped it everywhere) so yes, platonically it's a certainty.
Is it ever possible to buy love? It'll buy you diamond rings my friend - to keep you satisfied... But honey I want the kind of things that money just can't buy... Well said Sir Paul!
What would be worse – hating love or loving hate? Well well - i suggest that whilst hating love will crush your very soul into a miserable loveless shadow with no more emotional attachment than a barnacle to a rusty hull, I also think loving hate may well cause you to become a hateful Pol Pot style dictator with no concept for human emotion except fear.... So probably loving hate is worse...
Is that question as ridiculous as it first sounds? Hell no! I wrote it!
Is love an instant, irreversible emotion – or can it develop over time? Do you believe in a love at first sight... Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time - Bloody hell, Lennon and McCartney write these answers for you!!!
What celebrity do you hate more than any other?Gary Bushell - trash tabloids, crap writer, much dislike!
Which hoofed mammal reminds you most of love…. And which, to you, is the evil hoofed mammal of hate? The pony has to be the hoofed mammal of love - and the hateful goat it's polar opposite!
And do you really think that hoofed mammals, or any animal for that matter, can display such emotions? Yes they can - have you ever seen a little horse nuzzling another one. If I wasn't such a manly type I'd say it was really cute!
Would you physically love someone you hated (just for one night perhaps) if they were undeniably gorgeous? Nope - Sorry Mr Bushell
Are there any songs you once loved – but now hate? No - but I used to hate the Kills and now i love them!
And that's about that - If any of you are moved to tears by my answers... Do let me know - I have an hour to kill and it couldn't be better spent than reading kind - and flirtatious perhaps - messages ;-)
Love (and hate)

Ok, my turn to fill in the...
The little quiz of love and hate.
Sum up love in but a single word (or a couple if you have to) - Poets have spent centuries using many words to try and achieve this and rarely do they come close so my point is, i don't dare.
Do you think you can ever be in true, unrequited, love? Yeah sure, i once met this French actress...
Do you think you can ever be in true, unrequited, hate? You might be able too. I cannot. When i hate it curls my world and that just isn't peachy!
Can you love someone, even if they smell repulsive? Hell… would you even sleep with them? Ok my immediate reaction was no and no. But, i love tramps (i like to give them posh food, sushi and vol-au-vents mostly, it makes them a living juxtaposition), and only real tramps mind you and they defo smell so that's a yes and no.
Is it ever possible to buy love? Not in abstract sense of the word love. The physical however is a completely different matter, i mean why pay for what people are willing to give away in exchange for a large glass of vino and polite compliments.
What would be worse – hating love or loving hate? Does not compute... though both are kind of negative, so does that mean hate is more powerful, language wise at least!
Is that question as ridiculous as it first sounds? No! it's like a bragillion more intense than it first sounds. Seriously why are both so depressing? Love and hate are opposites yet when they are placed together in that form rather than cancel one another out, hate wins... Am i making sense... this is seriously bugging me...
Is love an instant, irreversible emotion – or can it develop over time? It can definitely develop overtime... equally though it can happen faster than throwing shapes. When I saw this French actress, whoa, fireworks, big fireworks, like born on the freaking fourth of July baby (the public holiday, not the Oliver stone movie)!
What celebrity do you hate more than any other? I hate them all, except Jennifer Connelly's stare.
Which hoofed mammal reminds you most of love…. And which, to you, is the evil hoofed mammal of hate? Deer's remind me of love. I was almost killed by one recently... and evil hoofed mammal of hate, the kiang, that said though it is kind of cute.
And do you really think that hoofed mammals, or any animal for that matter, can display such emotions? Yes.
Would you physically love someone you hated (just for one night perhaps) if they were undeniably gorgeous? Yes, i would spend a night with Jessica Simpson and she's not even undeniably gorgeous...
Are there any songs you once loved – but now hate? Nookie by Limp Bizkit.
The end.
Sayonara,
Sam

Inspired by this week's question on LovetoLead, the cuddliest member of our team (Jack) whipped us this here 'little quiz of love and hate'. Well, to be absolutely honest, by 'inspired' I mean heavily coerced by me who occupies the (less than) exalted position of being the world's most easily excitable person when it comes to things like this. In fact, I am finding it so difficult to contain said excitement, that I may be forced to finish this introduction without finishing the final sen-
The little quiz of love and hate.
Sum up love in but a single word (or a couple if you have to) - Glandular
Do you think you can ever be in true, unrequited, love? - Yes. Scarlett Johansson still will not return my calls.
Do you think you can ever be in true, unrequited, hate? - No. Though maybe yes if you're in true, unrequited love. I think there's a very fine line between love and hate.
Can you love someone, even if they smell repulsive? Hell… would you even sleep with them? - Oh, controversial. At a whim I'd say no. Hmm...but, if you think about it, you know when you go over your friends house and they have a really smelly dog and they don't notice it because they're used to it? I guess that'd happen. In short, what I'm saying is that I could love a girl who smelt like damp dog if I got used to it. Maybe. Is she hot?
Is it ever possible to buy love? - I think yes because, to many people, the feeling of love is merely a self-created delusion to mask their own selfish needs. Just because I could sit here and judge them not to 'really' be in love, doesn't make the feeling any less real to them.
What would be worse – hating love or loving hate? - Er?
Is that question as ridiculous as it first sounds? - Yes.
Is love an instant, irreversible emotion – or can it develop over time? - (For the record, I am genuinely loving answering these questions! Nice one, Jack!) This one's tough. I don't want to cop out and say both, so I'm going to say it can ONLY develop over time. Love at first sight is a myth dreamed up by Hollywood to get bums on seats. You heard it hear first, folks!
What celebrity do you hate more than any other? - I don't think I hate any celebrities. Oh, wait a minute. I do hate Russell Crowe. With a vengeance.
Which hoofed mammal reminds you most of love…. And which, to you, is the evil hoofed mammal of hate? - Goats, inexplicably remind me of love. To be truthful, my knowledge of hoofed animals is, sadly, lacking. However, my non-hoofed animal of pure hate must be this owl I saw a few years ago. Normally, I love owls, but this one had a head bigger than mine and its eyes actually DID pierce into the core of my soul and steal my dreams. True story.
And do you really think that hoofed mammals, or any animal for that matter, can display such emotions? - Highly debatable issue this. I would probably argue that (seeing as the entire concepts of 'love' and 'hate' are purely human terminology for what is, essentially, animal instincts interpreted through our own sense of self-awareness) they can not. If we ourselves are animals (as we are) is man not guilty of anthropomorphising upon himself? I'm going to claim that as either the most brilliant or the most stupid thing anyone has ever said, depending on your point of view.
Would you physically love someone you hated (just for one night perhaps) if they were undeniably gorgeous? - No, because I could never find someone I hated attractive. Before anyone gets the idea that this is some sort of noble response, bear in mind that I didn't say that I could hate anyone I found attractive.
Are there any songs you once loved – but now hate? - Yeah, there must be. I used to love Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, but then I realised I'm not over 40. 'Silver Star' gives me nightmares.
The end.

Blogging Hoodies...
Fellow blogians lend me your ears and eyes as I give you the front page of, ‘The Sun. Cameron and the Hate-Filled Hoodie.’
Read the full story here.
Ok, so why am I showing you this? Well, it is because this image has spent all day looking up at me as I manage the mechanics and fuel the fires of the infernal machine that is LoveToLead.
Resisting the desire to flip straight to the ‘News in Briefs,’ I instead examined this depiction of youth and politics with a LoveToLead eye. And what do you know something occurred to me… this is about love and hate!!!
This is good, for it has temporarily removed from permanent loop within my head the track, ‘When Love and Hate Collide’ by Def Leppard. This is an affliction that has been bothering me since I first learnt of the new topic. In regards to this, thank you for small mercies, no seriously… have you heard the song?!
Anyway I digress, so about this hoodie… At first I thought what a hateful young man he must be helped, all he needs is love. Then I realised that he is already motivated by love not hate! He loves his gangsta morals, his hoodie, his gang and looking cool in front of mates by pretending to shoot the leader of the conservative party! This leads to the intriguing and now required task of somehow quantifying the abstract. How can love and hate be measured? In the words of poets alone I cry… any other ideas?
Sayonara,
Sam.
Block on the Blog… un-blogging-believable!
Whoa! The weeks are flying past as we plummet into the closing stages of our shortest month. Round seven is underway and the question for all you blogosapiens to deliberate and then debate upon is,
‘Is hate a stronger emotion than love?’
Well what you waiting for? Go blog…
More on the question to come later, but for now it is necessary to apologise for BlogToLead’s recent static state. Yes, our entries for the past week have been sparse, err… well actually there have been none. This however is not our fault! There is no need for me to crow bar in a flimsy excuse to placate the angry at our absence LoveToLead masses, for there is a genuine reason….
It appears that Simon and Jack were in their efficiency and writing style mistaken for spam-bots, the crazy kids! I quote from the email informing us of the situation, “[The] system has detected that your blog has characteristics that resemble spam…”
Mistaken for spam-bots, that’s just not right Let me tell you if they were going to be mistaken for any sort of robot it wouldn’t be one made of spam! Simon’s intellect bears an uncanny resemblance to the inner workings of Hal 9000, whereas Jack is more the brute of a machine and as such is often compared to the ever so unreasonable and heavily armed ED-209. Well, that’s what I think and just to keep things inclusive, I’ll make a comparison relating to our LoveToLead poet Jay; he would defo, be C-3PO…
Needless to say this case of mistaken identity has all been rectified and we can now all blog wherever we may be once again!
Sayonara,
Sam.

Fishing for compliments... Not likely!
Thanks for that poem Jase... Wonderful

x lv Jack

Who we are - in rhyme!
Jack's the romantic, a real ladies dude,
He's hunky and chunky but also quite rude,
His wisecracks are risque, he's never depressed,
His one true love Cathy is wonderfully blessed.
Simon's the brainiac - which means he's quite clever,
A fantastic writer and all round good fella,
At present he's single, I think that's a waste,
That's a hint to all ladies who have any taste!
Sam is the new lad, not been with us long,
He still looks surprised when we burst into song,
Although Sam's a newbie he's willing and able,
His work is blogtastic and he seems almost stable.
I'm Jason. I'm boring. There's not much to say,
Although I exfoliate, I'm really not gay,
I'm married to Songul, who puts me through hell,
I love her and hate her, not much left to tell.
