Huh. You don't think much of the Baileys if all you can do is get a last minute present for them at Sainsbury's. paulham2007-12-24 17:16:35
-
None.
How many brussel sprouts will you eat tomorrow?

As much as possible.
Are you right or left handed?

Right handed.
When did you last visit the dentist?

Too long ago to remember!!

-
Two cats called Casper and Charlie.
Is anyone, like me, NOT eating turkey today?
-
Yes - I'm having a feta, pea and mint parcel.
Does it make you sad throwing all the wrapping paper away?

No, it makes the fire burn so hot and look so cosy.
-
I didn't, but congratulations!
What are you most looking forward to watching on TV over Xmas?
-
The Catherine Tate Christmas special.
Did anybody besides me have an argument with somebody today?

-
Thankyou Smurfboy.

And no, no arguements of any kind today, just a lot of good food, great company and fun.
I hope your arguement wasn't too serious goldencup, and that you've made up and will laugh about it later. Even if it is much, much later.
Peace to you and yours, and have a relaxing Boxing day.

Did anyone have snow?
-
No snow here. It's been beautiful all day.
Has anyone been to the pub today?
-
I wouldn't dream of it on Christmas Day.
Do you find Boxing Day dull? Mine is much livelier than Christmas Day as we have the fun side of the family round

-
Mine won't be dull as my new great-niece or nephew is being born this afternoon and I'm off shortly to meet him or her. (I'm hoping for a him!).
Is anyone off to the sales today?
-
'Being born this afternoon' - that seems very definite! Is it a caesearrean?
No, I won't be braving the sales today a) I have far too much to do, b) I don't really feel like it and c) I don't have a car and where my parents live is too posh for Sunday service buses!
Are you planning a New Year diet?
-
Quite definitely - I've put on half a stone over the last couple of months.
Yes Smurfy, it's definite as they won't let her wait any longer - if it hasn't appeared by 4 pm it's a caesearrean.
What was the best TV programme you saw on Christmas Day?
-
I didn't watch any. We were all having fun playing with my youngest's organ.
Well, ok, it is a keyboard, but you cannot get locked up for saying that.
What was your best chocolate gift?
-
18 worth of chocolates from Chocolate Utopia. My Mum gave me the money and I selected my favourites.
Is this the worst ever year for Christmas TV?
-
Yes, but then I think that every year, and each following year they outdo themselves.

Though Dr Who was AMAZING!
Do you recycle your Xmas cards?
-
No.
Do you always win at Trivial Pursuit?
-
Not always but usually. I'm shocked that you don't recycle your cards Bounty!
Are you looking forward to taking the decorations down and getting back to normal?
-
Yes! On New Year's Day our tree and decorations come down and i do recycle my cards - they go the the special needs section of the college and the students turn them into new cards/labels for next year.
Did you have a Christmas cake this year?
-
No I don't like it.
Have you gone back to work yet?
-
No, thankfully - not til 2nd Jan.
How mad will you go in the sales?

I will be avoiding them if possible!!
Have you still got any turkey left over?
-
No, we diddn't have turkey. We've still got a bit of cold roast beef but will use it in sandwiches today.
Are you looking forward to the summer?
-
Yes, I hate the dark mornings/evenings. Although some snow would be nice.
Were there any Christmas presents you were hoping for but didn't get?

Yep. easy!!

-
Same as always:
Galaxy Caramel.
Who would you love to kiss under the mistletoe?
-
anyone who would have me!
Q:
can you remember your local ITV start up music? and can you remember it name?
-
No, didn't know they had 'start up music' unless you mean the old TV station jingles. I can remember some of them as they used them at the start of the programmes that they made.
Is anyone itching to get back to work?
-
Hell no! Been back one day, didn't like it.
Off on holiday for a week in the sun.
Booked summer holidays yet?
paulham2007-12-30 12:51:51
-
Not exactly summer but off for a safari in Kenya in February.

( this Q coudl be used agian
)
6230582007-12-30 13:30:23
-
I just visited 'Bring it Back' - not much seems to be happening there lately.
Are you HD ready?
-
No - it's yet another thing invented to make more money for TV manufacturers that none of us actually need! I haven't even gone digital yet!
What is the point of 1 and 2p pieces?
-
You put them in a jar until you have 20 worth then put the money in your holiday account!
What did you think of Christmas TV?
-
I enjoyed To The Manor Born, more for the nostalgic value than anything else, and Harry Hill - but since Christmas Day only Extras and the soaps have been worth seeing.
What are your New Year plans?
-
I haven't made any really.
The only thing I am sure of is that although I will not be as sober that night as I am tonight, I won't be drunk.
Other than that, there will be a small group of us together and we just go out and see what happens.
Not really what you could call plans.

Have you already worked out how long it is to your next holiday from work?
-
I'm trying not to think about that, as I'll realise it's not until Easter and I shall cry.
Would it be wrong to eat a second chocolate muffin?
-
No, go on, spoil yourself.
How will you see in the new year?
-
I foolishly revealed that on another forum whilst drunk, and now everyone is horrified

Does anyone actually eat Eat Me dates?
-
not me. My mum does. She calls them "Darkies' toe nails".
How very pc.
What is your New Year resolution?
paulham2007-12-31 17:19:20
-
I never make them - that way breaking them doesn't depress me.
When did you last actually keep a New Year's resolution?
-
2 years ago when I decided to lose 2 stone and I did (and still have!).
Where is this website Smurfy?

(I suppose that doesn't count as a question for the next person though)
Have you got a hangover today?
-
No.
Have you?
-
No
Have you seen a Robin today?
-
Yes I have!
There was one in my front garden earlier.
If you'd booked a holiday to Kenya in February (as I have) would you still go?
-
I would check out how much I'd lose out on cash-wise before making any decision.
Shall I have a veggie version of a New Year's Day fry-up?
-
No, sounds revolting.
Have you made a new year's resolution?
-
Yes - I have resolved not to ask the same question someone else did a couple of turns ago. Maybe others should learn from my example...
Does anyone else think January 2nd is a depressing day?
-
No. I'm off on my hols!
What new chocolate varieties will be launched (or hoped for) this year?
-
I am waiting for someone to make a new bar with a filling of lime cracknel.
I love chocolate limes and think that might be worth a try.
However I think we'll probably just get more of the same old thing, eggs being made into bars like Cadbury's Cream Egg, and bars being made into eggs like Mars Bars and Milky Way. Ahh well, chocolate is chocolate, and life would be so dull without it.

Hugs to Cadbury's.
What chocolate would the next person like to see? Just so it doesn't stop with just my idea.
-
Of course you may have gone to bed early and not even see this but I hope you have a lovely time Paulham.
Take care and travel safely.
-
I would like to see Chocolate Utopia do a creme egg.
Have you shaved this week?
-
Yes, on Monday.
Who's the ugliest person you've ever seen?
-
I'm not sure but there's somebody pretty horrific who keeps following me about and wearing my clothes everytime I look in a mirror.
Have you ever appeared on TV?
-
The guy from The Pogues! He is truly unfortunate in the looks department, in my opinion.
Do you spring clean, or am I the only one who still observes this truly outdated tradition??
-
Oops I beat you to it again! We'll go with your question.
No I don't spring clean. I'm sure it's a very good idea though.
Have you ever appeared on TV?
-
You're just too fast for me goldencup. Can I all you GC?
No I haven't, only on CCTV at the supermarket. Doing silly walks and blowing kisses and other such childish stuff!! But I would love to be famous, or perhaps infamous!
Are you going to watch the Big Brother Celebrity Hijack?
-
Only if there is nothing else on.
Who wants to come rub vic on my chest?
-
Me!!!
Have you made any holiday plans yet?
-
Booked summer holidays yet?
Doh!
Okay then, seeing as someone else answered this question last time: I've been invited away by a few people, but I'm a bit too short on the folding stuff to say yes or make plans yet 
Are people who take down the decorations before Twelfth Night miserable gits?
smurfboy2008-01-03 13:39:09
-
How can I call some of my best friends miserable gits?
I've been getting annoyed with the decorations since Boxing Day but haven't actually taken them down yet, more because I haven't had time than any worry of being labelled a Grumpy Old Woman (as if.....).
Are you planning major life-style changes this year?
-
Possibly - seeing as the major lifestyle change I was hoping to make at the end of last year didn't happen.
Will you be making any drastic changes to your appearance (e.g new year, new wardrobe)?
-
There's nothing wrong with my old wardrobe - I still quite like pine.
Actually I was thinking of starting to wear skirts/dresses more often (perhaps as much as twice a year!) as people keep trying to convince me (not entirely successfully) that my legs aren't as bad as I'd feared.
Assuming you had the money, would you consider plastic surgery?
goldencup2008-01-03 17:46:14
-
Oh Crikey no! At least not yet. I don't have any wrinkles and very few grey hairs, and no cellulite either, so I'm not having to make those kind of plans yet thank goodness. If it became necessary, I wouldn't rule it out though, finances permitting.

Are any of you thinking of buying Park Hamper for next Christmas?

-
No but I am starting up Lou's hampers for Christmas 2008 so send me your cash each week and come Christmas I will be loaded and you will receive nothing.
Did you rush out and buy furniture in the New years day sales?
-
No, I was too busy buying shoes and handbags.
Please send me your address loulou as that sounds like just the Christmas club I would join.

Have you ever woken up to find a cow staring in the window at you? (I live in a cottage and sleep on the ground floor.)
-
Thankfully no. I may have a heart attack if a cow was looking in the window at me as i live in an upstairs flat.

Have you ever had to be rescued by a fireman?
-
Unfortunately no, I haven't. And although I wouldn't want to be caught in a fire just to make it happen, I could happily sit in a tree waiting for a fireman's lift.

Who was the last person you said "I love you" to?
-
My mother about 20 minutes ago.
Do you give christmas tips to your window cleaner/postman/gardener?
-
I never see any of them - the postman comes after I leave for work, and the window cleaner and gardener are employed directly by the property management company.
What daily newspaper do you read, if any?
-
I usually read my local one, sometimes The Telegraph because that's what we have at work and occasionally I have to admit to reading The Daily Mail but I don't buy it, honest!
What TV channel do you mostly watch?
-
I don't read the daily drivel because it contains no useful information.
If you had to chose a mascot for yourself, what would it be and Why? (Can't be chocolate)
-
I usually read my local one, sometimes The Telegraph because that's what we have at work and occasionally I have to admit to reading The Daily Mail but I don't buy it, honest!
What TV channel do you mostly watch?
Probably still ITV because of the amount of soap I watch, but they churn out a depressing amount of 'reality' TV drivel, so I tune in less and less.
We'll use Netbuddy's question next because of the post clash.
-
I'd choose a manta ray simply because I think they're beautiful and fascinating creatures!
Is there one particular film that you can watch over and over again without getting bored of it?
-
Casino Royale, seen it 14 times so far

If you could only eat one chocolate bar for the rest of your life what would it be?
-
Galaxy Caramel.
Who would you least like to be stuck for 2hrs in a lift with, and why?
-
John Mcrirrock (unsure of name spelling but i mean that hideously dressed horseracing commentator)
The reason is because he is scruffy, rude and a non stop nose picker.
If you were to cook for friends what is the one thing you would make to impress them?
-
A fancy dessert. I can make a few decent main courses, but most of my friends have had them all now

If you had a delete button you could use on one person, who would it be?
-
Oh what a fantastic question....Shame I only get one person though.

Do you buy organic free range eggs?
-

-
It was a good friend of mine with some 'juicy gossip' - her words, not mine!
How many Direct Debits/Standing Orders do you have? (I ask this because I'm considering changing my bank account and I couldn't believe how many I'd got when I started looking into it!).
-
One standing order.
How many plastic cards do you have in your wallet/purse? I have 11 and am trying to work out why i have all these when i only use 2.
-
I have seven and I use them all - credit, debit, phone top-up, Nectar, Advantage, Tesco and library.
Are you planning on moving house this year?
-
No way, we just had a new roof fitted.
They started the week before Xmas and my roof was leaking last night, (very high winds and really heavy rains), so I rang the contractor and he said "He'd send some boys out!" I was quite worried about that for a while. But they came out this morning and...........they finished it TODAY!!!! Hooray. So now I am finally waterproof after over a year. I'm not going anywhere.
Have you ever phoned a wrong number and got someone you hadn't talked to in years completely by accident?

Do you use the library?
-
Never.
When did you last have your eyes tested?
-
About six months ago.
And on that subject, would you consider having laser surgery on your eyes?
-
I have thought about it but I am too scared.
My sister in law and three of my friends have had it done. They said it made their eyes feel a little gritty and they were given dark glasses to wear for a few days but after a week they said there was no discomfort and they can all see perfectly without glasses now. My sis in law drives an ambulance and resat her driving test without glasses and passed.
Would you consider wearing a wig?
-
No. I hate the thought of losing my hair, but I've never seen anyone look good in a wig. Even if it's a good wig, you still know it's a wig.
What's your favourite advert at the moment?
-
It's a bit embarrassing but I was impressed by the latest Halifax one! Knowing me, it's been out for ages and I haven't noticed it before. The one that annoys me most at the moment is for First Choice Holidays when that man with the incredibly dopey expression ends up giving his son a hug.
When did you last change your car?
-
Never had one.
When did you last redecorate?
-
Oh not for ages, there's not much point painting when you're going to end up with several waterfalls down the walls! Now we've had the roof fixed that's our next big job. I had put it to the back of my mind so thanks for the reminder smurfboy.

-
Love to but real busy at work just now.
What's your favourite day of the week?

Japs and Spangles.

-
I have never seen it all the way through.
Vimurana
Do you like Polo fruits?
-
Bounty do you mean a weimaraner?

Louloucabanatwixflakeypuff.

-
A 30 sewing basket for my Mum for 15. She is thrilled to bits with it.

Eurgh, no. I've had tea that's been stirred with the same spoon as someone else's coffee and that's bad enough.
What's the stupidest thing you've seen or heard of this week?
-
My mum siad:

And quite a few more really.

-
80's
Is capital punishment ever warranted?
-
No. Although sometimes I feel like saying 'let 'em swing!' but only as a knee jerk reaction to a terrible crime. Capital punishment does just that - punish - it doesn't change behaviour.
If you want to see an argument against capital punishment, watch the film 'Let Him Have It'. The last twenty minutes are shocking.
Have you got any spring flowers in your garden yet?

Yes, the crocuses and snowdrops are out. No daffodils yet though.

What sort of bread do you prefer:
White, wholemeal or granary?
-
I suppose white, but very narrowly - I like all three. I love bread of virtually any kind.
If you had to choose between giving up tea and/or coffee or giving up alcohol, which would you do?
-
Give up coffee. Although I'm almost teetoal. A good cup of tea, when you're thirsty takes some beating.
What character in Punch and Judy mosts matches you?
Punch, Judy, the Policeman, the crocodile or the baby?
bounty hunter2008-01-24 14:18:08
-
Sorry, I obviouly didn't explain it properly - tea/coffee was one of two choices, not three.
-
I think the string of sausages is most like me.
Constantly pulled in all directions without feeling like I have any real purpose other than to be constantly pulled in all directions. I think perhaps I need to set myself a goal.
Why did you join this forum instead of any of the many others?
-
Because I was looking for something about chocolate at the time.
I do belong to other forums but obviously they're not as good as this one!

Who is the most ethical chocolate maker?
-
willy wonka.
do you agree with dead horses being made into dogmeat?

What is your favourite kitchen gadget?

Does a breadmaker count?
Why do so many people sl*g off the town/city/country they live in endlessly yet stay there for years and years without even looking into moving?

Why do I have so many odd socks?
-
Who's the most ethical chocolate manufacturer?
Fabulous thought Loulou. I think he is too.

Why do I have so many odd socks?
Because your socks fight and one of each pair runs away in defeat? To spend their lives in exile in odd sock universe?
Seriously though if you ever find an answer to that question please tell me, because that happens to me a lot too.
Did anyone else here know Sam Fox was gay?
I only ask because I had no idea, and I'm amazed that she managed to keep it so quiet and private.

Yes I watched the Wife Swap thing (Oh boy I'm glad I don't have to live with Freddy Starr, what a nightmare1!) that's how I found out.
I never have bought myself flowers.

Who is/was the most beautiful woman in the world?
-
Who looks at their poo???
Who is/was the most beautiful woman in the world?
For being beautiful for the longest time, I think Sophia Loren must take top spot. She's nearly 80 and still quite good-looking. But the most beautiful woman of all time has to be Elizabeth Taylor. See below:
Can you remember the first programme you saw on television?
-
Not really - I expect it was Bill & Ben or Andy Pandy.
What is the first record you remember being No. 1 in the charts?

These boots are made for walking. Apparently I used to jig up and down to it in my pram! I remember being in my pram aged one on a summer's day with it on in the kitchen. Amazingly early memory.
Do you like the harpsichord?

You have bulimia?

Yes smurfy. There is a photo in the paper of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Danni Minogue and Cheryl Cole. Simon said he will have to sit in the middle of Danni and Cheryl so maybe he thinks they will argue.

No. I actually think the driving age should be raised - 17 year-olds are generally far too reckless to be let loose behind the wheel.

-
18 bottles.
Do you wear socks for bed?
-
No, it feels weird. Let your feet breathe.

-
Because they have no dress sense. I read that we fall asleep three times quicker if we wear socks for bed and it does work for me. I always seem to pull them off in the night though.
Why do men wear socks with sandals?
-
Maybe it stops chafing. Looks naff though.
Have you been watching Wimbledon?
-
Tut Tut Bounty, I asked that one a few questions ago. I watched some yesterday but that was the first time this year. Hoping to see the men's final later today if it's not rained off.

-

Do you use salt in cooking?
-
Only if the recipe tells me to and I agree with the ironing . I iron as little as possible. Life's too short.
When you are out for a meal do you watch people at other tables eat? I ask because I just had lunch at the local pub and was transfixed on a man who ate the majority of his food with his fingers.

I don't think so but once i was in a supermarket and a man smiled at me as i walked towards him and I moved my trolley so he could get past and then i turned back and he was gone. I walked up and down all the aisles and I couldn't see him so I suppose that's the nearest i came to seeing a ghost if it was.
Do you always wear black to funerals?
-
Yes, but I suppose it's less of an issue for a man. I have heard of funerals where it's been requested that guests wear bright colours to celebrate the life; I'd do that if I knew it was what the deceased wanted.
How old were you when you first went to a funeral?
-
I didn't go to my first one until I was 22. I suppose i was lucky that up until that point no one i knew had died.
Have you been or are you going to any weddings this year?
-
Not that I know of! I went to two within three weeks last year, so perhaps that filled up my wedding quota for a while.

marmite or philadelphia.
what do you put on your chips?

When someone is coming to do a job for you and they give a time , say between 1 and 4 do you become irritated waiting for them?

Going on from the last answer, roughly how much do you spend on toiletries/cosmetics a week?

On a similar subject, what do you say to religious people (Jehovah's Witnesses etc) who come to the door?

A street map of Peterborough.

The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines separate easily into eight to fourteen juicy segments. They are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but lack the tangerine's sourness and seeds.

A woman in a dress should not wear a dress because "SHE" likes it but because she looks "MMMMmmmm" and many women try to shoe horn themselves in to ill fitting dresses that do not suit their body type or shape and US MEN suffer for the "Does my bum look big in this" syndrome.

Many problems exist with this subject, mainly a woman will argue its her body, her choice but foot in the mouth, will also on the other end of the sepctrum say "It takes Two". Where do you draw the line that looks after the rights of the father and the unborn child who lets face it has the right to life as well as that you have to consider the health aspects for the woman carrying the baby. Then you have other aspects like is the woman a victim or rape or has medical history of schizophrenia as well as other medical conditions that may exist which could prove detrimental to the health of the mother and unborn child alike.
Its not that clear cut and subsequently its a very hot potato to hold.
Is the NHS right to green light youngsters to have intercourse by making access to contraception and the morning after pill available by text? Wouldn't this encourage girls to have underage sex and pose an issue to the rise in teenage pregnancy. If the alternative was better education in responsibility, wouldn't it be better to encourage "Children" to act with more responsibility for their actions?
DO you think that its right to allow the NHS to freely allow children access to medical "RE: Morning after Pill by Text" help without the parents knowledge?
-

Is this some news article i missed? I would ask for more details before calling somone a liar and what's Birmingham got to do with it?
You obviously don't get the joke, if you speak brummie and have a definate twang to your dialect, a "Wheel" becomes a "Whale" and when you go fishing in a canal, apart from condoms and shopping trollysm the next mot popular thing to come out od a canal is ... a ... (begins with a "W")
My fave part of the weekend is when its over. Weekends are over rated, fact that your personal time is less than 48 hours in real terms makes them over rated. When you boil it down to actual "Personal Time" your getting 16 hours in total to do what you like, assuming you can afford to do things on a weekend.
Would you be happy to work 4 days a week if the alternative was the dole queues?
-
Isn't 5.00pm on Friday to 9.00am Monday 64 hours? I get a lot more than 16 hours personal time in a weekend.

I'd be more than happy to work 4 days a week. 3 days would suit me even better.
When did you last have a good night out?
I am talking "Useable time" that you have, allow for sleep, house commitments like shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc... Your useable time is diminished to about 16 hours and not 64 as the weekend does not start until 00:00:00hrs Saturday through to 23:59:59 hrs on Sunday night.
Last good night out I had was about 1994~ish, me and 3 friends hires a car, we went to Newmarket, then Blackpool, got bladdered, ate all the wrong foods, my music got robbed from the car, my friend got chucked by his girlfriend, we nearly got stranded when we were running really low on fuel and nearly ended up in a serious pile up if it wasn't for my expert handling of the car in keeping it under control. The look on the coppers face said it all (who luckily was on the opposite carridgeway of the M5)

-
God, years ago - think it might have been 1999? On my third one now anyway.

I don't really have favourites but I like Rutger Hauer's style (in Blade Runner?) and I admire Cate Blanchett's diversity (no, it's not a euphemism).

Golden rule, if you want to start a business, tell no *ucker because you will get back stabbed, if I sound bitter, this is the third and final time I pass on good business ideas. Once by a family friend, once by a supposed partner in a business venture and third time by a multinational and local commerce ass wipe.
@DrT, what you been smoking? Wrong answer BTW.
And again (this is proving intresting results ppl)...
Your walking in the hot desert, you see a tortoise on its back, its a hot and the tortoise will die if you don't pick it up and turn it over. You don't turn it over... Why?

The MD say that department as a loss but I prved him wrong but for my efforts in developing that from a cupboard to a warehouse and got shown the front door for my efforts. I later found out he employed someone to to my job and paid the going rate!

Eating cats and dogs: wrong, or no different from eating cows or chickens?

Well, being a veggie... This is interesting, though, because people do seem to be a bit selective about what they eat when it comes to meat. I find the eating of any animal abhorrent, but that's my personal opinion. In answer to your question, if you eat meat, does it matter what it is?

EEEEEK! anways - i managed to unlock myself and play the right tune, so i escaped before the snails rained down. jesus - it was so real! i woke up in a right panic! i'm really no fan of snails!

Nobody so far today but then it's early. Yesterday I lost count - I suppose that comes of dealing with the public from 8.30 am until 7 pm.

-
Nope i cannnot say it has ever occured to me.
Today I received a letter from the letting agent of the flat downstairs to me telling me there is a problem with the guttering and rainwater is running down the wall causing damp in the downstairs flat. As i speak to my downstairs neighbour each morning i was surprised she has never mentioned it to me. If you had a problem like this would you have spoke to your neighbour face to face?

yes, of course. i'll never understand people who do things 'officially' before sensibly.

Probably one of the Michael Jackson ones but I'm not repeating it here.

-

The world will go on forever - it's the human race that has to worry.

-
i saw a 10 foot glowing silver giant alien once in a country lane. (for real, actually.) is that weird enough?
what's the best movie SEQUEL ever made?
-
Now this seriously is a hard one. Off the top of my head it would be a toss up between Aliens, Terminator II, Hellraiser II and Die Hard 2. I could say Gremlins 2, but I love 'em both. Oh, and Back To The Future 2, although I love all three!
What's the worst movie sequel ever made?
-
gotta be Highlander 2. just HAS to be - because not only did it suck but it ruined the first one in the process.
gizmo or stripe?
-
Gotta be Gizmo! I even have one somewhere wearing a tiny Cardiacs t-shirt! Oh, and I agree, Highlander 2 is bad. Whatever happened to there only being one?

-
uh-huh. i try not to mingle with these people, though. not my scene.
do you know anyone who's spent time behind bars?
-
Not as personal friends but loads of the people I see at work. It's amazing how many people show prison records as ID.
Do you think man should go to the moon again?
-
I'm ambivalent. While it's strange to think we haven't been since 1972, would another trip at huge expense really teach us anything new?
When did you last tell a lie?
-
I tell people lies every day. I'm a Clinic Coordinator!
Do you think we should go to Mars?
-
hell yeah! mars is cool!
do you think the original moon landing was fake or real?
-
The problem with simple things is that people don't believe they're that simple. The moon landing, the assassination of JFK, the Pyramids' connection with the constellation of Sirius (which must mean an alien connection, right?) The simple answer is that Aldrin and Armstrong walked on the moon, JFK was shot by a nutty communist and the Egyptians built the Pyramids partly because they were into Astronomy. Just like that. But, no, we have to start adding 2 and 2 together to make 5, or even 6!
So, Bermuda Triangle. Space alien experiment, distortion in time/space or just a bunch of aircraft and ships that crashed/sunk in a rather deep, open stretch of sea?
-
yes, the last one. if you look into it further, you'll see not actually a hellava lot even happend in the triangle. a lot of it is urban myth.
who REALLY shot JFK?
-
the mafia.
Is there a point to polystyrene worms?
-
HELL NO!
'a nightmare on elm. street' is being remade next year, but the main villain has still yet to be cast - so, who do you think would make a good freddy krueger?

Thursday I had a cream tea at home although I had the most gorgeous cream tea with proper, homemade scones on Monday at a little cafe in Torquay called the singing kettle. I had a long weekend in Torquay for my birthday.
How did you celebrate your most recent birthday?
-
went out for a pub meal. giant mixed grill, if i remember. mmm.
what's your first memory? (and how old were you?)
-
Sitting in my pyjamas with my dad looking out at the traffic from my Gran's lounge. My mother was in hospital having my sister and I kept asking if they were in the cars that came up the road. I was 3.
Is there anything from your childhood your parents have told you about that you can't remember at all?
-
I don't remember anything of the first house I lived in (we moved out when I was about 3) but there are loads of photos in the album of me there.
What have you bought that's in the mail to you at the moment?
-
nothing i've bought, so to speak - but i'm waiting on my grandad's 'blue badge' disability parking permit to arrive. (yay - i can park on double yellow lines, now!)
popcorn - sugar, salted or toffee?
-
with sugar I guess
How's your posture?
-
My posture rocks!
Tomato curry or creamy curry?

Who ate all the pies?
-
it was me. (seriously.)
do you have your 'own' coffee mug - if so, what's it look like?
-
I do at work and it's a Chelsea FC one.
Can you ride a horse?
-
no. i think a horse would collapse under my weight. i've been on a donkey when i was little, though.
if you could bring back any previous forum member who doesn't post here any more, who would it be and why?

Minty! or maybe Salsa....we had some fun with them both didn't we Lou?

What was the last thing you broke and did you manage to fix it?
-
I broke my favourite bracelet on Friday and I haven't fixed it yet but I'm still working on it - just need to find the remaining three extremely tiny missing beads! Good excuse for not hoovering anyway...
Are you one of the first on the dance floor at parties/weddings etc or do you remain firmly stuck to your seat until forcibly dragged up there?
-
I try to avoid being the first, but it doesn't take me long to get up there - especially if it's a free bar...
Competing with a colleague to see which of you can seduce another colleague first - morally dodgy?
-
Well, if he/she finds out the reall reason she was pulled...
Have you ever questioned your own existance?
-
I did, but I didn't get a reply. Hang on...
If you found out your partner had cheated on you, how would you get your revenge?
-
I don't believe in revenge, but I'd walk away never to be seen again. Been there, done that...
If your partner was getting off with someone right in front of you, would violence be involved?
-
i'm not really one for jealousy, but i guess there would be a few drops of blood.
they say everyone is at least slightly gay... so what would your petcentage be? (eg. 65% straight, 35% gay... or vice vera etc.) AND BE HONEST!
-
Probably 1% ooh, get you and 99% chunky monkey. I had any homosexual feelings driven out of me when I was young.
Women are more likely to have a same sex experience than men? Whatdyathink?
-
Yes that's probably true. Women are generally more touchy-feely.
What is your favourite word?
-
mulcher.
who's your least favourite x-factor judge?
-
Louis - devoid of any kind of imagination when it comes to song choices, styling his acts and making comments.
I know someone who's having botox today - at the age of 24. Is he just daft or does he actually have some kind of problem to think this is necessary?
-
Depends where it was injected ... I know someone who had Botox injections to treat an excess sweat problem. If it's a cosmetic (facial) thing then yes, he's probably daft!
When was the last time you moved, and how did it go?
-
Last year, and it was hell. The council basically forced it upon us. The place we're in now is about a quarter of the size of the old place, yet they expect the four of us to live there. Grrr!!!
What shampoo do you use?
-
i'm a big fan of head & shoulders. (ditto with the conditioner.) or tresemme.
describe your hair-style...
-
Centre parting, long hair down to the centre of my back. Oh, and I use Lavera shampoo/conditioner. I don't use any of that high street poison! ;)
Brush or comb?
-
Finger-comb; my hair is so curly that if I try to brush it, it just turns to frizz. The only time I use a brush or comb is to untangle it pre and post wash.
Do you have a favourite clothes shop/label?
-
I buy most of my clothes from the Next catalogue.
When was the last time you bought clothes, and what did you buy?
-
Last week i got a black and white top from Next.
Do you think designer labels are a rip off in comparison with high street store brands?
-
No, because designer labels are usually well made and will last you much longer than Primark sweat shop rubbish. They're an investment purchase as my wife likes to remind me ;)
What's the most expensive piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
-
This is fun. Okay I have a question. My mom and I are planning of giving my little sister a birthday party. We want it to be filled with chocolates and candy to make the party colorful. What sweets do you suggest? ;)
-
but you didn't answer the previous question! noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
-
Oi, Sophie, you have to answer the previous question and then leave one of your own!
So again:
What's the most expensive piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
-
my 100% authentic hawaiian shirt, from hawaii. it only cost me £50 in 1997, but it still out-pricres anythiung else i've got. (unless you include shoes, of course - then it's me nike's.)
oh, sod it... lets do 'sophie's' question: "My mom and I are planning of giving my little sister a birthday party. We want it to be filled with chocolates and candy to make the party colorful. What sweets do you suggest?"
-
I suggest a pretty flowery cake stand filled with Mr Kipling's French Fancies.
What's your most memorable moment at a birthday party?
-
Probably the excessive nudity at my 29th.
If you got a call from a friend who wanted to come round right away, and you only had time to make either the house or yourself look nice, which would you pick?
-
neither. if they're a true friend it wouldn't matter. (but if i HAD to pick, i'd pick the house.)
what's your very faveourite tv soap character death?
-
I thought Dot helping Ethel to die in EastEnders was beautifully done. How brave of Gretchen Franklin to film a story like that at nearly 90 too!
One for the parents amongst you: Which would be more embarrassing - catching one of your kids having sex, or one of your kids catching you have sex?
-
I think masturbating in the bath with your headphones on and then turning round to see a steaming hot cup of tea on the side is pretty embarrassing!
Chocolate or sex?
-
CHOCOLATE, OF COURSE! (i wouldn't be on a chocolate forum otherwise, i'd be on a sex forum! hehe.)
derren brown or david blaine?
-
Derren Brown. David Blaine gives me the creeps.
What was the last movie you watched?
-
'Dead Snow'. *aka. Dod Sno* (a foreign nazi-zombie movie i bought on dvd a couple of days ago. it was really good... and the subtitles weren't the least bit off-putting.)
zombies are attacking your home! what's the first thing you grab to use as a weapon?
-
Probably my sword. I'd hack their heads off!
If an alien ship landed in your back garden, what would you do?
-
run towards it with arms outstretched.
crop circles - aliens or humans?
-
Definitely humans. I can't believe they make so much fuss about them being created by aliens. You just try to find one that doesn't have tractor wheel marks running up and down the field, particularly through the crop circle.
Atlantis - ancient land, spaceship or Plato talking rubbish?
-
plato rubbish.
loch ness monster - real or seal?
-
I remember reading a story about a couple who were driving past Loch Ness, when the creature came out the water and crossed the road in front of them. Did I mention that the couple were American? Was the monster perhaps going to the local shop for some fags? I believe that their are still undiscovered creatures in the deep, but I don't believe there's a monster in the Loch.
The Pyramids - clever building technique or aliens using advanced laser tools?
-
Clever building.
The Pyramint - should it come back?
-
you know i've never had one. so YES - i'd like to try one, so bring 'em back!
Cabana - overrated or worth the hype?
-
Definitely,
OVERRATED!!!
Thank you...
Mint Flake?
-
(overrated? are you just dying to have your karma attacked, young man!)
mint flake? yeah, go on then.
rich tea or digestive?
-
Definitely rich tea.
Is there any piece of music you cannot listen to because it upsets you?
-
It used to be Bright Eyes but not anymore - I've moved on!
Do you think this summer has been as bad as 2008?
-
I think it's worse than last year.
Why is it difficult to think at times?

Midnight Cowboy.

-
Jalapeños and red chillies!
Chinese or Indian?
-
chinese!
in your local chippy, are you more inclined to purchase a piece of fish or a battered sausage?
-
Neither - vegetarian spring roll!
Have you got a favourite ready meal?
-
I love M & S Potato Gratin, but it has 50g of fat per pack, and despite the 'serves two' claim, I can easily eat it all to myself, so I avoid it.
What's the worst meal you ever had?
-
i was in spain and had a pizza with pasta on it. YEUCK!
have you ever been to Butlins? of so, when was it, where was it and how did it all go?
-
I've been to Butlins twice for 70s weekends (no children allowed) and they were great fun. The drinks prices are ridiculous though - everyone buys it at Tescos and sneaks it in.
What is the best holiday you've ever had?
-
My 30th birthday trip to Canada, everything about it was great. But I have had a trip to Germany and a few trips to Malta which were pretty great also.
What's the worst holiday you've ever had?
-
San Antonio, Ibiza. I went there for two weeks with my wife in 2001 and the complex was awful. The people were really, really inconsiderate and the family above us used our veranda as an ashtray and a rubbish tip! Every two seconds I was being offered weed or E's and it was generally pretty raucous. That taught me NEVER to go cheapy, cheap ever again.
What's the strangest thing that's happened to you on holiday?
-
The first time I ever went abroad was a trip to Malta back in 1999 / 2000 with my partner (my partner is half Maltese and lived in Malta as a child before moving to England.) So we went to see some old places from his childhood, including a pretty little coffee shop called Busy Bee. We went inside to have an ice-cream and all of a sudden there was a loud noise like people screaming and my partner had disappeared. It turned out that 3 or 4 of his aunties and their families were inside and they recognised him and carried him off! The strangest thing is that these aunties and their families live in England and not in Malta. We had no idea we were there at the same time as them (and vice versa.)
What's the strangest thing you ever saw on TV?
-
My nephew (who hadn't been heard from for a while) appearing out of the blue on some 'How to they do that' programme with his partner and three children. It turned out he's not actually the father but it seemed that way on the programme!
Have you ever tried growing your own vegetables? I'm determined to get organised for next year!
-
Yes but not successfully ... I'm too impatient. The only thing I grow to eat is rhubarb which produces a few good crops per year.
For those who made a new year's resolution for 2009, have you managed to stick with it?
-
my resolution of dieting (as it always is) lasted about 4 months and i lost over 3 stone... then i put it all back on. OH WELL! there's always next year!
what's your favourite album of all time ever?
-
It's a difficult question and as nobody has answered for a while I'll just say Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits. It's one of my favourites but I have lots of favourite albums.
What was the last game you played, and did you win?
-
I played scrabble last week and yes i won.
What will be the next thing you eat?
-
it will be a ring donut, from morrisons. mmm.
what's your fave thing to buy from a cake shop?
-
The chocolate gateux slice with a profiterole on top from Patisserie Valerie. Yum-a-licious!!!!
What's the worst cake you ever tasted?
-
This cake I was given as part of a packed lunch on a youth hosteling trip. I don't know what it was supposed to be, but it was completely tasteless; it was a kind of mid-brown colour, as if maybe it was meant to be chocolate or ginger, but it didn't even have any sugar in it as far as I could tell. We fed ours to a passing dog.
When was the last time someone bought you a present just to be nice (as in not for any special occasion)?
-
Last Thursday my mam bought me a necklace.

Have you started stocking up for Christmas yet?
-
food-wise etc., not really, no. but i got my first delivery of pressies today from amazon!
do you smoke? if so, how many a day?
-
No. Never have. The ice cream man down the road smokes 60 a day and i've tried working it out and i reckon he must light one every 15 minutes to fit that many into a day.
When did you last win something?
-
i won an original rental copy of Ghostbusters on video when i was about 8. i still have it, and adore it. the only other thing that springs to mind is that my gf won a diamond in that Fairy diamond giveaway a couple of years ago. it's apparently woith a grand. oh - and a i won a stuffed cow at weymouth carnival in 2008 (forgot about that one.)
men or women - who honestly make the better drivers?
-
I think they're both as bad as each other.
What's the saddest sight you ever saw?
-
Yesterday I saw an older teenage girl wearing a white (very) mini dress and whalenet hold-ups. Oh, dear...
Thorntons or Hotel Chocolat?
-
I prefer Hotel Chocolat when I can afford it, but I do have a soft spot for Thornton's fruit cremes.
Who do you think is film/TV's most underrated actor or actress?
-
virginia madsen. (i've always adored her.)
who do you think is film/tv's most OVERrated actor/tress?
-
No matter how many 'serious' films I see him in, I'm still not convinced Keanu Reeves is anything more than a pretty face.
Keanu brings me on to The Matrix - everyone I know loved it, I hated it. Is there anything really popular you just don't get?
-
robbie williams. if someone could please explain to me why this tone-deaf, boy-band reject is treated like some kind of musical genius it'd be much appreciated.
is it wrong for me genuinely wanting to murder the child in that "paul's bathroom" advert?
-
Of course it's wrong, you have to get the tenor from "Go Compare" first. He's on the TV, on the radio ... there is just no escaping him.
Opera, what do you think of it?
-
Not keen at all.
When will wjp's baby come? ;)

Terry Wogan
Does any watch Jonathan Ross?
-
I used to like him when he fronted the Incredibly Strange Film Show donkey's ago, but these days I think he's a twat!
Anyone watch True Blood?
-
It looks alright, but I don't really understand the whole vampire fascination at the moment. I can see myself watching a couple of episodes and then getting bored with it.
If you could go to your own funeral, would you?
-
yeah! that would be great.
do you want to be buried or cremated?
-
I want to be buried in something biodegradable. But, I'm immortal, so that'll never happen! :D

Who's da man?
-
i da man!
is there a god?
-
Personally, I don't believe in God and, therefore, don't believe in Heaven, Hell or Satan. I do think the Universe is one great big entity, but not in the Christian or Muslim tradition. I probably edge towards a more pagan stance, what with Mother Earth and Father Sky, but even those names mean nothing to me. We are all part of the greater machine and, in my eyes, we are all here to experience life.
Do you think I'm correct?
-
yeah, i think you're pretty close.
how old were you when you realised there is no santa claus? (and did it emotionally effect you in any way?)
-
I'm not sure I ever really believed in Santa. I think I was born cynical!!!
Did you ever pray to Santa for toys, but realised you'd spelt his name wrong and you'd been praying to Satan instead?
-
Not that I remember, but I imagine Satan's more likely to listen to me than Santa is :D
What's annoyed you this week?
-
People referring to Father Christmas as Santa Claus.

-
I have two pitcher plants, one venus fly trap, a dragon tree, two umbrella trees and a number of different cacti.
What's the most chocolate you've eaten in a day?
-
my brother won one of those HUMUNGOUS toblerones in a raffle (you don't see 'em much these days - but you'd always get them in duty free for about £40, and they were a few foot long and had pieces the size of breeze-blocks.) well, he unloaded two pieces of that one me, which i consumed out of sheer boredom. now take that into account with the one and a half slabs of xmas sized dairy milk and 2 chocolate oranges i'd already had that day, and there you have it! that was one depressing xmas. (hence all the gluttony.)
have you bought any goodies for trick-or-treaters this year?
-
No. We don't get any trick-or-treaters where i live.
Do you find it strange that people will let their kids knock on strangers doors and then accept sweets from them?
-
I find it more strange that kids think they can bang on your door and demand cash because it's Halloween.
When did you last have a cup of tea?
-
About an hour ago but I only have about two a day.
Have you bought any new clothes for the party season yet? I've bought an outfit I'm not at all sure about...
-

What would you cook if you were on Come Dine With Me?
-
Hmmm not sure .. but I think I would like to cheat though ...Its always the ones who cheat that make me laugh the most ... well that and the guy who does the voice overs ...hilarious!

gerry and the pacemakers, about a decade ago. (i don't get out much unless it involves the cinema.)
if your digibox broke and you were stuck with watching only one tv channel, which one would you want it to be?
-
Sadly it would have to be ITV; a depressing thought as they produce so much crap, but I couldn't give up Corrie.
Speaking of soaps, did anyone seeing Denise put a pair of new shoes on the table in EastEnders last night and go 'arrggh!'?
-
Some people saw it but I didn't (I don't watch East Enders.)
Are you superstitious?
-
kind of. i'm more obsessive-compulsive that superstitious... but i think there's some cross-over there.
what date do you post your xmas cards?
-
The ones which go abroad are sent at the end of November. The ones to my local friends, family and neighbours I take around on Christmas Eve. Any other for postage in the country are sent somewhere in between.
What are you doing to raise money for Children in Need day?
-
err... umm... err...
did you watch 'Children In Need' on tv this year? (and did you, like myself, find it amazing what passes for entertainment these days?)
-
I watched Children In Need for the Dr Who bit. Then I, er, turned it off...
Do you feel ashamed?
-
yes, totally.
when's the last time you spoke to someone british when calling a call-centre?
-
Well, seeing as most call centre's have been outsourced... I have no problem with this, but I hate it when I know they're just reading stuff off a screen, especially when it's a PC helpline! I can't remember when I spoke to someone British last.

-
not me. for a few quid more you can own them, so why bother?

No, but I do know where you can buy them, Down stars in the Edinburgh HMV and a shop on Rose street.

have you ever seen a convincing santa? (in my experiences, they're either way too skinny or their beard is an unconvincing mess of cotton wool.)

No. The last one i seen obviously had a cushion stuffed up his jacket and he was black.
If you could keep only one of your Christmas presents which one would it be and who bought it for you?

The Wii and I kind of bought it myself!

-
Possibly taking back the Chanel 19 my husband bought me ... not sure if I still like it.
Did you actually see anything even close to entertaining on TV over the Christmas period?
-
Well I thought the Victoria Wood Midlife Christmas was very good in parts with long tedious bits in between. So I suppose it qualifies.
Are you having a New Year's Eve Party?
-
Well, to have a New Year's Eve party, you need some friends, so, er, no.
What's your highlight of the last decade?
-
ah, dammit - that's too easy. (and i'll refrain from answering at the risk of sounding too schmaltzy)

I've never been sledging *cue violins*
Have you ever made a snow angel?
-
nope. we never get enough snow down here for that.
what's the scariest movie you've ever seen?
-
I must admit to not being that scared of stuff, even when I was a kid. I'd be grossed out by nasty stuff, but not scared. Of course, when it comes to an uneasy atmosphere, at the moment I'm thinking The Thing (remake), Nightmare On Elm Street or Candyman.
What's the worst movie you've ever seen?
-
dirty dancing. no question.
ever caught a fish? if so, what and when?
-
I'm also an anti-Dirty Dancing person WJP. So many people I know love that film, but it just did nothing for me.
I don't go fishing as I'm a veggie, but my dad is a very keen angler. I think it's mainly trout where he fishes.
When did you last get a nice surprise or nasty shock (whichever was most recent)?

Obvious follow-on question - how many are you expecting to get?
-
Just the one
What are you doing to celebrate Valentine's day?
-
we couldn't get shot of the kids - so we did nothing! exchanged cards, that's about it.
aliens - real or not?
-
Haven't we been down this road before? Aliens are definitely real. We can't be the only form of life in the universe.
Katie Price - real or not?
-
must be fake. nothing real could possibly be so vulgar.
in regards to burgers... sesame seeds on the bun or not?
-
Yes, why not. I like seeded buns generally.

-
Sweet for me - and yet to find a variety I don't like! M&S marbled choc muffins are lovely :p
In Wayne Bridge's shoes would you have shaken John Terry's hand?
-
No I don't think I would.
But was it right to sack him as England's captain?
-
nope, probably not.
who has the cooler laugh - peter griffin or cleveland brown?
-
Ooh, toughie. Cleveland just about edges it for me - but Peter definitely has the cooler show.
Would you rather be a man called Gillian or a woman called Arthur?
-
Another toughie - I think I'd be the man called Gillian, pronounce it with a hard G and pretend it was an ancient Celtic king or something.
If you have guests in your house, do you object to them helping themselves to stuff from the kitchen without asking?
-
Too right i do.

roughlly (or exactly - it's up to you!) how many times have you been deleted as a friend by people on facebook?
-
I'm not aware that I have been at all. I've deleted a couple myself but they were just people who shared my surname - I didn't actually know them and decided I didn't want them as 'friends'.
Do you do Farmville, Mafia Wars, or anything similar on Facebook?
-
Well here's a clue for you... have you seen my pink cows and my black sheep. I am a farmville addict.
Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous?
-
Not so much of luck till date.

-
yes! especially the ones with zero grasp of how to write a coherant message.

-
no - they absolutely no not!

-
I pick boh, as it sounds right tasty!
Ketchup - Vinegar or Chips?
-
I'm not understanding the question. I'll go for chips on my ketchup :)
How about curry?
Curry with rice or chips?
-
Rice. Lasagne on the other hand, goes quite well with chips.
A bizarre (and somewhat morbid) thought. If any of us died unexpectedly, would anyone bother to inform the forum? I can just see my husband posting a new thread - Sorry guys but Goldencup snuffed it!
-
Good question GC! Unfortunately no, if I suddenly died nobody would think or know to post here. Perhaps people should make a list of online people and places to notify should they suddenly kick the bucket.
How many Easter eggs have you eaten already?
-
None, as I don't have any. I could list the chocolate I do have, but I'd only make everyone jealous :p

Pineberries, real or an April fools joke?
-
joke!
did you fall for any april fools jokes this year? (if so, what?)
-
I temporarily fell for the West Ham Ann Summers pink strip until I realised what the date was. I thought it was a good one though.
Does anyone actually still do 'spring cleaning?' The shops seem to think so....
-
Yes I do, it's a great opportunity to put the winter stuff away and get out the lighter spring/summer stuff such as clothes, bed linen and curtains. I also do the reverse at the end of the summer.
BTW wjp the pineberries were REAL not an April Fools joke!
What things have you kept since childhood that you still love?
-
My Smurfs (obviously), my cuddly Rupert bear whose leg is falling off :( and a toy ice cream van that was my dad's when he was a kid.
Are you allowed to listen to music at work, and if so do you?
-
I'm actually in charge at the Easter egg factory, so yes. We tend to vary it though, because the little bunny helpers and the elfs/ves? and fairies like different things. We have Radio 1 on some days, Classic FM others and sometimes Radio 2, particularly if we're working late. Anyway I digress...
Have you got any Easter eggs left?
-
I have half a medium Cadbury's egg, half a small Cadbury's egg and a creme egg left. Some eggs have bunnies printed on and some eggs have chicks printed on, so I try to eat some of each (which is why I have 2 halves left.) The larger Cadbury's egg just had 'Cadbury's' printed on it so I ate all of that one :-)

-
I don't take many photos but if i do they are usually of my pets.

About 3, usually from Talk Talk and Barclays bank.

who was the last person to knock on your door?
-
delivery man this morning... nothing interesting, just clothes.
when it comes to BBQ's, what's the first thing you tend to grab off one? (sausage, burger, chicken, etc.)
-
I would grab a burger and some onions, mmm... I would not go for chicken fearing it is not cooked (remember the scene from the Mary Whitehouse experience?)
Do you have tattoos? If so, what are they and where? If not, would you get one? And if so, what would you get and where?
-
No tattoos and no i'm not getting any. Perhaps if i was younger i would get trailing flowers on the top of my foot.
What is the best excuse you ever used to get out of going somewhere?
-
@cherry - "i think this could do with a couple more minutes..."
to get out of 'signing on' many moons ago, i rang up and said i'd been pushed through a window and was having glass removed from various parts of my body. (genius!)
chicken - leg or breast?
-
@wjp ... exactly LOL gosh I really loved that programme.
Breast definitely.
What was the last takeaway you had, and did you enjoy it?
-
How could anyone not enjoy a takeaway? I think that if I'm not cooking, what's not to like? Anyway, the last one was a Chinese a couple of weeks ago and yes, I loved it.
Does anyone actually use the grill on their microwave if it's got one? My micro needs replacing and I can't decide whether to go for the absolute basic type or something more complicated.
-
@cherry - i just bought a bootleg copy of the complete series (fairly good quality too!) off ebay. why wont they give it an official release? that show was/is amazing!
back to the game - never had a micro like that. stick to basic!
what do you do at night to get to sleep if mr. insomnia comes calling?
-
wjp, I bought a dvd like that off ebay, a long time ago now, and the quality is rubbish. My old VHS copies are better! I hope yours is better quality.
goldencup, it's one of life's mysteries ... who does use the grill on their microwave?!?
If I can't sleep, and this used to be a real problem for me when I suffered from anxiety, I watch snooker. I used to have a VHS tape of snooker which I could watch and it never failed to send me to sleep (yes, I know it was the same match over and over)
It's Thursday, what are you going to do this evening?
-
Absolutely bugger all!
It's Friday tomorrow, what are you going to do then?
-
Going to sunny Weymouth for the weekend (waves to wjp).
Have recent events put you off flying?
-
Not at all. It's never happened before, so in all likelihood it won't happen again any time soon.
If you'd been stranded, would you have pretended to still be stuck there once you got home to have an extra day off?
-
@goldencup - it's lovely down here at the moment, what with all the sun. hope you enjoy it!
back to the game - yes, definitely. but you wouldn't be able to leave the house or anything just in case you bumped into the wrong person, so maybe it's not as good as it sounds.
do you personally know anyone who was stranded by the volcano? if so, where were they?
-
@wjp - yes I had a great weekend thank you!
Yes - a friend of mine is STILL stuck in Tokyo - she was due back last Saturday (17th) and is not expecting a flight until 2 May.
-
And your question is?
-
Whoops, sorry!

-
Yes!
Is anyone here voting for other than the main three parties?
-
yes, indeed. (don't worry - it's not the BNP.)
come on - a prediction, please - who's going to win the election?
-
Labour, of course. All this political speculation is just sloblock!

Plamil Rum & Raisen, Plamil Orange & Cranberry, Plamil Mint and various lovelies out of a Hotel Chocolat Chocolatier's Table box. I've also had Hotel Chocolate Turkish Delight, which is to die for, but that doesn't count...
Sam Tyler or Alex Drake?
-
Sam Tyler. Have to say didn't know who either of these were and picked Sam purely for being male. :)
Which tv programme has disappointed you most this year?
-
Britains Got Talent - the quality has severely dropped in 2010, and the judges are even more irritating than before.

Have you put away all your winter clothes?

Yes and i have binned a few too.

-
Not unless you count a peach yogurt.
Is there a particular tv presenter that you just cannot bear to watch and have to turn over as soon as they appear ?

-
will it hell!
scientology - everybody has a right to choose their own religion OR come on, grow the hell up and stop worshipping aliens!

what's the last film you saw at the cinema? (and rate it out of ten!)
-
The Time Traveller's Wife - 6/10, because they turned it into a shmaltzy, tragic romance, whereas the book is much darker. Bloody Hollywood!
What was the first film you ever saw at the cinema?
-
It was a double bill of Mary Poppins and the Jungle Book. I was very young, the films were very long and I got bored.
Ever fallen asleep at the cinema? If so, what was the film? If not, have you ever left a film at the cinema before it finished, and for what reason?

the original 'texas chainsaw massacre', of course.

-
Never heard that saying before.
What is your best suggestion for cooling down when it is too hot?
-
LOL at chinny reckon, haven't heard it in ages but heard it often in the 80s! I think I probably heard it last on the Mary Whitehouse Experience / Newman and Baddiel, it sounds like something they would have said.
My suggestion for cooling down is to put the insides of your wrists under cold tap water.
Sunday, get up early and get the chores done, go shopping or lie in bed all moning ... how do you like to spend your Sunday?
-
(i only mentioned 'chinny reckon' because i've been watching The Mary Whitehouse Experience recently for the first time in ages... it reminded me that we used to use it at school every 10 minutes back in the early 90's - and now it seems to have vanished from the british language completely! i think it should be resurrected.)
as for sunday - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz all the way for me, thanks. (though i'm contradicting that statement by posting this at just gone 8am.)
what colour are your eyes?
-
A sort of greeny blue. More green than blue.
What colour are your bathroom walls?
-
My bathroom walls are hideous. Giant cream tiles with a sort of cactus in a terracotta pot pattern going around the top. Hand me a sledgehammer for me to smash them off. I reckon i have the most hideous bathroom of all time. Previous owner was some hippy solicitor with a liking for paper lampshades and crazy colours and wallpaper on ceilings. The tiles are the last thing of her remaining but need to go.
What was the last meal you ate that you would have scored 10/10?
-
I answered this one earlier but the post has disappeared!!
Not going to do it again - I'm sulking.
Oh all right then, it was on Saturday night when I had an excellent seafood-based Chinese meal, including delicious sweet and sour monkfish. The service wasn't 10/10 though.

-
about 4 years ago. i think i'd easily buckle the wheels if i got on it now.
have if ever driven a sit-on lawnmower? (and aren't they fun?)
-
I answered this one earlier but the post has disappeared!!
GC it didn't disappear, you posted it in the word association thread by mistake!
Back to the question, and no, I have never driven a sit-on lanmower. Not in real life anyway, although I have driven one in the computer game 'wacky wheels' which is really fun.
Have you ever travelled in a helicopter, and if so tell us about it!
-
i presume by the lack of answer and time passed that nobody here has, including myself. oh well.

-
i said 'go on then' to someone in town with a clipboard the other week.

-
AVG (free version). Seems ok. Recommended by many IT students that I know.

-
oh yes. we have a full house here and it only makes sense to keep food out of the rest of the house.
when you go 10-pin bowling (assuming you do), what do you usually score?
-
I am a very erratic bowler! I usually get strikes to start with then I get all blase, lose concentration and mess up the rest of the game. Can't remember actual scores.

-
pregnant woman. (hey, i'm like that.) ;-)
what do you personally find more offensive - calling an indian person a popadum or calling a scotish person a haggis?
-
Both are childish but I think I find the poppadom more offensive, purely because of the anti-English sentiments I hear from a lot of Scots.

-
no. i'm glad i did the 80's as a naive, care-free kid.
if you had a time machine, which 3 historical events would you like to go back and witness?
-
The life of Christ, just so I can finally know the truth. Rome when the Visigoths sacked it so could really see what Nero was doing. Oh, and this sataurday when they're showing the lottery numbers, for obvious reasons. Now that would be a historical moment!
Would you like to be immortal?
-
oh, hell yeah! (there can be only one!!!!!!)
here's a heavy one... ABORTION! your views, please.
-
Hey, Wayne, this one SERIOUSLY should have its own thread! I'd have to say it depended why the abortion was happening in the first place. It's not a form of contraception, kids!
Are the Conservatives making you happy?
-
(wayne?)
no, they're bloody not!
tv - was it really better 20 years ago?
-
Hmmm, well there's certainly a lot more dross on now because there's so much more choice. But I think there are just as many good programmes as there were.

-
I've been to many: London, Birmingham and Manchester. London 2003 in Hyde Park was probably my favourite, although Birmingham used to be really good too.

-
i have done, yes.
what was the very last thing you purchased on ebay? (and how much did it cost you? ... and did you leave positive feedback?)

a) a months holiday with spends.

Is going to Uni a waste of time and money?
-
I honestly don't know anymore. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't half the time - I went for jobs post-uni and got turned down for having no experience, whilst friends who didn't go couldn't get experience because they didn't have the qualifications!
When you last changed jobs did you get a leaving pressie, and if so what?
-
Yes I got a book token.

-
no. i'm too big for the seats, generally. and i don't like being treated like cattle.
ever been on a hovercraft? if so - what was it like?
-
No I haven't been on a hovercraft. The only thing I have ever hovered in is a helicopter and that was amazing. Noisy, but amazing.
What are your hobbies and which hobby is your favourite?
-
well, lets see... i like photography (both standard snapshot and video), i'm a movie-nut (but isn't everybody to some degree?), fishing, writing, the horror movie culture and professional wrestling. there are other things, but that sums me up in a nutshell. i'd say my fave hobby at the moment is model building/painting (i don't play much warhammer these days, but i make and sell alot of figures and scenery.)
have you been to see a 'new' 3D movie recently... and what did you think in general of the technology (ie. did it blow you away or leave you cold)?
-
(well, it's been a month now. i think i've murdered this thread.
really? does nobody have anything to say about 3D cinema?)
-
I haven't seen a 3D movie yet.
What's the last movie you watched?
-
i watched the remake of 'Cape Fear' in HD last night. (only just got HD so i'm watching all my old faves, permitting sky shows them, of course.) but the last movie i saw that i'd never seen before was 'Sunshine Cleaning'... also last night. and it was pretty good!
who, out of all who have come and gone in the last few years, do you wish would come back to the chocolate forum, even if it is just a quick hello?
-
I would like to see Chocolate Chick back at the forum.
When was the last time you changed your bed sheets?
-
I changed them on Sunday. And turned the mattress over.
When did you last dust the curtains?
-
i have NEVER dusted any curtains in my life, but i'm sure mrs. triple 6 does them on a weekly basis.
i'm not after any security question answers, but what was the name of your first pet?
-
Chubby. He was a chihauhaua. He died.
Have you ever owned a fish?
-
I did. I had once called Mr Chips whose lips dropped off. Rarely a good sign.
What do you get fed up of explaining to people (in the way that I might well shoot the next person who calls me a Northerner because I'm from Birmingham)?
-
i get sick of explaining what the internet is, what it's for and how is works to elderly people. you try to break it down into as simple terms as possible, but they still don't get it. which is fair enough - but why keep asking?!
list everything you watched on tv tonight. (saturday the 2nd.)
-
I watched Strictly Come Dancing ... that was it (I had a really very busy day.)
Describe the last photo you took.
-
It was on the Isle of Wight at the weekend - huge waves breaking right over the end of the pier in Sandown.
Assuming you had the money, would you rather have somebody to do the cleaning or the gardening? Or neither!
-
gardening. i don't like strangers pottering around inside my house, but outside i can just about handle.
do you think you are better looking than your partner?
-
No, I feel we're the same in our own ways.
What would you like for Xmas?
-
hoping for 'dead rising 2' on the 360. or failing that i'd just like my new sky hd box to work properly.
what's the best thing you've ever bought on ebay, and how much did it cost?
-
Apocalyptic Raids 12" E.P. by Hellhammer signed by the three band members who played on that release. It was a steal at £25 and I hate to imagine what it's worth these days. Pvre kvlt, as they say in metal circles. \m/
Have youy been ripped off on eBay?
-
oh yes, but nothing serious - mainly just scratched cd's that wont play or dvd's listed incorrectly. the first ever negative feedback i left was for a guy who sold me a faulty ps2 'multitap' for a whopping £4!
staying in the same kind of area - what's your best buy at a carboot sale?
-
It's been mentioned before but it was ages ago - a pair of brilliant condition Levi 501s for a fiver which turned out to have a £20 note in the pocket! For Star Wars fans I also once bought a Yak Face figure for 20p.
What would be your dream car?
-
delorean. (flux capacitor optional.)
ever tried sushi? what did you make of it?
-
Well, being a vegetarian, I don't eat proper sushi. I have tried vegetarian sushi from M&S, but I wasn't completely blown away.
What's your favourite cocktail?
-
white russian.
which famous person do you most resemble?
-
WWE Wrestler "The undertaker" (minus the muscles)
Closest brush with death?
-
going on 'the big one' rollercoaster at blackpool. i know, the chances of me actually dying were close to nil (though people have, of course)... but it really terrified me THAT much.
if you were a wwf/e wrestler, what would be your name?
-
THE TWATINATOR!!
Whats the worst bodge job you've ever done on a car/House
-
the whole middle section of my exhaust fell off my car on my way to work and i reattached it with wire coat hangers (i was working at New Look warehouse at the time and that's all i could find!). it made one hellava noise and filled the car with fumes but it got me home ok!
what's your opinion of iced gems?
-
Iced gems are the stuff of Satan! Sweet, tasteless biscuit covered in a splodge of sweet, tasteless icing. The sort of things evil gran's and aunties used to buy for you as a 'treat'. See also hundreds and thousands covered chocolate drops!
Caramac? Why?
-
why indeed? i don't think anyone can answer that one.
Eclairs appearing in Heroes tins... good thing or bad thing?
-
Look, heroes are rubbish anyway. Celebrations are worse, though.
Smurfette?
-
hell yeah - she's a hottie!
global warming... discuss.
-
Erm.. the earth heats up and i live in a greenhouse.
What are you hoping santa bring you?
-
A java green 1979 Ford Escort RS2000
Longest time without bathing and why?
-
probably about a week, when i was about 11. i quickly developed OCD about bathing shortly after, so i'm a daily guy now.
what's your favourite animal?
-
a panda.
How many umbrellas do you own?
-
zero.
what day of the week were you born on?
-
Tuesday I believe. Full of grace me, yeah right. Do you read your horoscope?
-
used to, but not in a long time. all that mystic babble is not good for the soul.
ever been robbed/mugged/burgled?
-
in 2006 my band had jus played in Croydon and I caught a bus home as i was twatted, i was sitting by the bus door texting the mrs and three youths came down the stairs and one grabbed my phone as they got off. Thankfully they ignored the £800 bass guitar on my lap. Also had my car broken into in an attempt to get my 6x9s out of the parcel shelf. Hence I now live in Hastings; Screw Croydon!
last time you felt like the cat that got the cream and the reason(s) for it?
-
(RIP, interview thread... you had a good run.)
-
Nooooooo, it's obviously that nobody has felt like the cat that got the cream in living memory!
New question - do you buy new Christmas decorations every year? I say this because I read somewhere that this year people are 'economising' and actually re-using their decorations instead of throwing the whole lot out every year....
-
i generally use the same ones each year... i've got a few decs in my home which actually pre-date me. but we have a nice new fibre optic tree this year.
and on that subject - your tree this year... real or fake?
-
Fake (And Tacky) with a big purple star at the top
Whats at the top of your tree?
-
A very strange cone shaped Father Christmas that I bought in a German market several years ago.
Do you have outdoor lights?
-
yes, lots of them.
santa claus or father christmas?
-
Father Christmas of course.
Have you taken the decorations down yet? I've been told mine have to stay until my son is back at Uni!
-
nope, probably tomorrow.
did you have a merry christmas and a happy new year?
-
No. Bloody neighbours!
Are you looking forward to next Xmas?
-
No I'm not. Bah humbug.
Are we beginning to sound like hairdressers on this thread?
-
nah, what gives you that impression?
do you want a cup of tea?
-
Ooooh yes please - you can't beat a nice cup of tea!
Have you booked your holidays yet?
-
Yes. I am going to New York in July.And also looking at a holiday in Cuba.
Have you had any accidents in the snow?
-
Thanks to my WinterTrax, no.
Where's the sun gone?
-
this is true - i haven't worn my sunglasses in weeks, and i'm hyper-sensitive to bright light. maybe some hoodies have made off with it?
why do people think that a chocolate forum is an excellent place to flog viagra? really, where's the connection there? (or am i missing something?)
-
I bet you don't even get any viagra. They probably flog you something poisonous!
What was the last spam email you got?
-
Strangely enough - somebody trying to sell me Viagra!
When did you last write a letter (as opposed to an email)
-
about 7 years ago. i used to have lots of pen-pals in america... i'm still in touch with most of them now, but via the net. (hence
7 years ago - that's when i properly went online.)
what's your favourite breakfast cereal?
-
Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.
If a gumboil could boil oil how much oil would a gumboil boil (if a gumboil could boil oil)?
-
i'm guessing here but i'd say just under half a pint.
how much wood could a woodchuck chuck (if a woodchuck could chuck wood)?
-
73 planks
How pleased are you to see me ?
-
i have to be honest - it's great to have you back! where have you been? and please don't go away again!
who is the best dr. who?
-
That would be a toss up between Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. Can you tell which era I grew up in?
Who is the worst Dr Who?
-
colin baker, but it was more of a design flaw with his character rather than his performance.
best Bond?
-
Roger Moore
Best Bond girl?
-
jane seymour.
best bond villain?
-
jane seymour.
(http://jamesbond.ugo.com/images/girls/jane-seymour.jpg)
Oh, yeah! Now I need to adjust my shirt collar a moment...
Oh, best Bond villain...
Ernst Stavro Blofeld played by Charles Gray in Diamonds Are Forever
Worst Bond villain?
-
Madonna.
Worst plastic surgery you've ever seen on a celebrity?
-
stallone's mum has got to be a contender. but there are so many! leslie ash's lips are a personal fave - mainly because that one was so unnecessary.
what's your fave animated movie?
-
Starchaser: The Legend of Orin. That'll have you scratching your head.
What is the worst animated movie ever?
-
'Fantasia'. yes, i know it's a classic and an amazing achievement and all that... but it really didn't make for a very good movie. it was like watching someones portfolio of achievements, completely devoid of plot or character - you know, those pesky little details that make a film a film?
sticking with movies... lets take a step back a whole decade and look at the nominations for best picture at the 2001 oscars. looking back now in a hypeless environment, which film do you think should have won?
Chocolat, Gladiator, Erin Bricovich, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Traffic?
(or none of the above?)
-
The only one of these I have seen is Erin Brocovich, which was good but probably not Oscar winning material.
Your favourite Julia Roberts film?
-
Conspiracy Theory. (anything but Pretty Woman, really!)
who shot JFK? (and why?)
-
Lee Harvey Oswald because he hated the president for the Bay of Pigs incident. I'm not big on conspiracy theories.
Who killed Cock Robin?
-
no idea, Batman.
which has-been celebrity would you genuinely like to see make a successful comeback?
-
Good question wjp. Rick Astley I think.
What's your view on the whole Charlie Sheen business?
-
charlie sheen is who he is. he's been like if for years. i personally have nothing against the guy. i'm a bit annoyed they fired him from 'two and a half men' before they could finish the series (not that i watch it religiously, but it's good background noise.) compared to some celebrities in similar shoes, his antics are actually fairly tame. (take a look at robert downey jr. a few years back... nowadays he's embraced as an american hero!) so, people - leave the sheen alone!
on that subject, why do you think we never see anything of emilio estevez these days when he was clearly the better actor?
-
I always get the impression Emilio considered himself a more 'serious' actor. You can't picture him doing something like Two and a Half Men, in which Charlie Sheen basically plays a cartoon version of his public persona. And that's the kind of not-very-prestigious-but-lucrative gig that keeps second division film stars in the public eye.
Is Adele genuinely the amazing talent she's currently being made out to be, or is there an element of novelty because she doesn't look like your average pop star?
-
The latter. I find her very irritating. If you want the 'not the average pop star' look, I prefer Susan Boyle's singing.
Will you be buying tickets for the Olympics?
-
i'm avoiding the olympics completely. the town where i live is hosting the sailing, so it's going to be manic down here - so i think i'll just stock up like it's a nuclear holocaust and stay indoors for a month.
in your humble opinion, what's the best british sitcom ever made?
-
One Foot in the Grave. Incredibly funny but with a deeper edge than your average sitcom, and beautifully acted (particularly by Annette Crosby).
Obvious question but... worst?
-
My Family. now let me explain - i am voting this simply to counteract all the people who like it (and for some reason they are plentiful!) i mean if i really thought about it there are worse ones - like Married For Life (remember that?) or other such forgotten gems. but My Family has been around for a decade now, and it's got this huge fanbase of people who dont seem to understand how humour works. so, simply because it's the worst of it's kind to succeed, it gets my vote there it is. (and i'm sure someone reading this will now promptly stick up for it. oh well. go watch some Fawlty Towers and quit moaning.) :RANT END:
will you be watching the royal wedding? (on tv, obviously. i'm not implying anyone here is on the guest list.)
-
No, I will be giving it a miss, even though the NHS have given me the day off. I can think of better things to do like sex and Mass Effect 2 (but not at the same time, obviously!).
Have you ever gone to the gym?
-
HAHAHAHA! i think it's painfully clear to anyone who saw my facebook pictures on here a couple of years ago that i am severely allergic to gyms!
back to movies now! according to imdb.com, the highest rated top 10 movies of all time are as follows:

do you pretty much agree or disagree with this?
-
I've yet to see a single one of them all the way through.
Have you been invited to any silly Facebook events for Japan yet? Apparently next Thursday we should all be wearing red and white to show we care :/
-
yes, a couple of people have sent me invites. the laziest one is something like 'click and support', with the group not actually doing anything... just someone who started the group obviously wanted a lot of followers.
and now, a cutting edge topic that we've simply refused to ever discuss on this forum. (forgive me for bringing it up.) - Ribena... is it really worth paying double for this than normal juice?
-
Ribena, just like any other juice/cordial, is just a bottle load of fruit flavoured sugar. It's more fun to eat real fruit!
Is it more fun to eat real fruit?
-
I think so, yes. Ribena is great when you're a kid but I think as I've grown up I've come to appreciate the taste of proper fruit juice rather than 'fruit juice drinks'.
One of my friends has a weird thing against dried fruit - she says 'you may as well chew on an old corpse'. Given that she eats chicken (although not a lot of other meat), should I point out that she does this every day?
-
Yes, I think you should. I love dried fruit, especially apricots and dates.
Should they bring back Spangles?
-
yes, indeed! Eternal Flame was a classic! ;-)
they say you're either a Beatles person or an Elvis person. which are you?
-
The way I see it, the Beatles did good and bad stuff and so did Elvis, so I don't mind either, but I am also not enamoured by either. See, that buggered up that theory :-p
Who is Liz Jones' rock star boyfriend?
-
buddy holly.
what exactly is a 'grassy knoll', anyway?
-
A metaphor and a source of irony when referring to a suspicion, conspiracy, or a cover-up of some type.
Although I did find a ruder definition....
Tesco or Aldi?
-
Aldi? euck! TESCO!!!!
what is the worst customer service you have ever experienced?
-
Green Flag breakdown. I was stranded (no electric) in my car on an uphill ferry slipway with the tide coming in and my car was obstructing other traffic. After 45 minutes the water was starting to reach the car and a white van man kindly stopped and gave my car a jump start. I waited at the top of the slipway for GF to arrive.
When GF finally did arrive they said my battery was dead (um yeah I guessed that) so I was sorry I ever bothered to call them. If I had waited for them to turn up my car would have been under water. Afterwards when I claimed my £10 because they hadn't arrived within an hour they disputed and said they had arrived in 58 minutes.
So what's the best customer service you experienced?
-
Lucy Drury at jvc. she was an angel! at a time when everybody was telling me i couldn't claim a new cam-corder (for reasons i wont go into), she really went above and beyong the call of duty to help me. this was 6 years ago and i still remember her name, so that should sday something in itself.
when's the last time you gave to charity (if indeed you ever have)... and which charity and how much?
-
Tenner to Comic relief I think.
When, and about what, did you last feel proper child-like excitement?
-
last week, when i saw a video blog from peter jackson on the first day of filming on the set of The Hobbit. it really brought out the child (and nerd) in me.
who was the first celebrity crush you had? (or indeed still have?)
-
Ilie Nastase! (Tennis player for those too young to remember).
How many Easter eggs are you planning on eating over the weekend?
-
Er, one. Do people eat more than one? Does it come down to size?
What's the most expensive Easter egg you've ever bought?
-
i have never spent more than a tenner on an easter egg. ever. so there. and even that's a rarity.
cadburys creme eggs - are they really all that?
-
No they're not. Bring back Mackintosh's toffee eggs (not the toffee and mallow ones which were something quite different but also nice). Lindor are the closest thing I suppose.
Have you caught the sun yet this year?
-
I try every year but I don't ever seem to have a big enough net! :D No, I still have my Scottish tan.
Are you hoping for rain?
-
nah, not yet. bring on the sun!
i can't believe it's not butter... can you?
-
Yes I definitely can.
Do you know of anyone who's actually going to a Royal Wedding street party?
-
nope, can't say i do.
terrorist attack? sniper action? mad streakers? do you think the royal wedding will have anything like this? (ie. do you think it'll be worth watching?)
-
It'll be a snorefest. I won't be watching. . . .
. . . that Kate Middleton is flipping gorgeous though. :)
Anyone applied for Olympic tickets. . ?
-
nah, i'm hiding from the olympics next year. (which is going to be considerably hard, considering my geographical status.)
LOTR or star wars?
-
Star Wars every time - I'm still an addict! (ROTJ being my favourite)
And on that theme - favourite Star Wars film?
-
Star Wars (the original cut) of course. You can't beat the original. Someone should have said that to George Lucas.
Blade Runner. Brilliant or boring?
-
(no, no, no - Empire was far better!)
brilliant. though i do think it is very over-hyped.
the news of arnie making another Terminator movie... yay or nay?
-
Possibly yay, as long as it's better than the trash that was Terminator: Salvation.
Ridley Scott directing the two-part prequel to Alien, called Prometheus. Yay or nay?
-
nay for the idea... yay for mr. scott!
favourite cheese?
-
Wensleydale with cranberries
So.......if you watched the wedding, were you impressed?
-
meh - it was pretty much what i expected. very long and unspeakably dull.
what year do you think they'll get divorced?
-
I don't think they will divorce.
Hows this year going for you ?
-
Please, don't even get me started. I am trapped in the year from hell and I don't know how to get out.
Loads of gravy or drizzle of jus?
-
loads for me, please!
in 2011 do we really need a royal family?
-
After much contemplation, I think yes, if only to bring in much needed revenue. The Americans and Japanese love them, you know. I used to be a staunch antimonarchist, but I'm older and wiser now.
Should we be seeing the end of the ConDemNation right now?
-
i'm surprised it's lasted this long.
do you still have your appendix?
-
Yes, but my brother doesn't.
Do you still have a mouth full of real teeth?
-
i am short of one wisdom tooth, and i had as front one knocked out and reset, but all the other are there and doing well.
what scares you more than anything?
-
War
Did you vote today?
-
i voted by post. (i'm lazy like that.)
obama or bush?
-
Obama by a mile.
Blair or Cameron/Clegg?
-
Blair. He had his faults but Cameron seems to change his policy on a daily basis - and I can't help but believe Clegg is still thinking 'Shit, I wasn't supposed to actually get in - what do I do?!'
Do you ever get the urge to creep up behind strangers and shout 'BOOO!'?
-
all the time.
when you're stood on a cliff edge (or similar thing) with a friend or family member, does it ever go through your head even for a split second 'ooh! i could so push you over right now!', even though you never actually would do such an awful thing? (or is it just me?)
-
No not just you - done that many times (thought about it I mean!) particularly at Old Harry. It must be all these cliffs we live near.
Would you consider doing a parachute jump or bungee jump?
-
parachute, yes. bungee, no way. (don;t mind falling so much... but don't like the idea of going back up again.) but i think i exceed the weight limit on doing either of those things anyway, these days!
really - who goes to a restaurant and orders cheese for pudding?
-
Not me. The poshest restaurant I go to is the one in Harvey Nichols in Bristol and I always try to have some Willie's Cloud Cake. Om, nom, nom!!! Cheese? Pah!
Have you ever bought something at a restaurant that you really couldn't have made yourself?
-
I went to Purnell's for my mother's 60th and I couldn't have made half the things on the menu.
Am I stupid for thinking Old Harry was someone Goldencup particularly felt like pushing off a cliff (see above) before realising it was the name of the cliff itself?
-
Funny that, I wondered who Old Harry was. I thought it was an old forumite. So it was the cliff. I see...
How much would someone have to pay you before you would listen to an entire album's worth of later Cliff Richard material?
-
i'd do if for six figures.
what's your favourite western? (and have i asked this one before?)
-
I'm not sure if you have, but it's The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. The new cut, of course.
Do you like John Wayne?
-
Not particularly - his voice always irritates me.
Should cheque books be discontinued?
(Sorry about Old Harry btw - it was a local reference intended for wjp)
-
@goldencup - don't worry, i knew what you meant!
@drt - the new cut? really? you didn't think the new eli wallach dubbed bits sounded out of place?
cheque books... don't kill 'em off just yet. there's a lot of pensioners who would be lost without them.
cod or haddock?
-
@wjp666 - I didn't really have a problem and felt the new cut adds a lot of depth.
I'm a vegetarian.
Pasta or risotto?
-
Pasta just gets the edge for its versatility and ease of cooking, but I have got quite heavily into risotto lately. (I might even make it tonight in fact).
What public failure has most surprised you (e.g. a new product or TV show you thought would be a smash hit but died on its arse)?
-
the XFL. (google it.)
back in the day, did you ever watch Eldorado?
-
I watched El Dorado in it's day. It seemed like one of those soaps that takes place in a dimension different to ours, much like Triangle, Sunburn and Doctors.
Risotto - naked or added cream?
-
neither! i HATE risotto!
what is you very favourite alcoholic beverage?
-
Rum, every bloody time. I like it white, golden, dark or aged.
What alcoholic beverage can you not stand?
-
My work wife and her real-life husband are both huge whisky fans and keep getting me to taste different ones - I haven't the heart to say they all taste like drain cleaner to me.
On a similar topic, what do you do to humour your friends?
-
i sit there and nod along and pretend listen to them when they're droning on and on about endless football results and who's gone to what club for how muchetc. etc. (i have zero interest in football. the real weird thing is they know this, but does it shut them up?)
how long have you known your oldest friend? (as in someone who you are in frequent contact with today... not facebook or anything.)
-
Since I was 4 - 47 years! I have another friend of 43 years' standing and many more from secondary school days.
Which would you rather be without - TV or Internet?
-
I could be without the TV, because I need the internet for games and I could watch the iPlayer for TV anyway!
16 year old upper class girls and boys who throw lavish birthday parties for themselves. Right or wrong?
-
WRONG! (and making a tv show about it is even worse.)
be honest... do you download stuff off the internet illegally?
-
Yes. I dare anyone to say no. My mother-in-law downloads stuff that her friends put up on 'special' areas of their sites. She does not view herself as doing anything wrong and feels she should not be wearing an eyepatch!
What's the most sensitive thing you've downloaded illegally?
-
i got a copy of Star Wars episode III on it's release day - that's about as daring as i get. (quality was rubbish, by the way. put me off the whole dvd piracy thing.)
do you own or will you consider owning in the near future a blu-ray player?
-
No and no. It's just another way for the electronics industry to screw money out of people desperate for the 'latest thing'. Hell, I still have a CRT TV.
When did you finally stop using your VHS player (assuming you have)?
-
i still use it! mainly for old home movies i have on tape and haven't put to disc yet, and rare ECW tapes you can only get on tape.
what was the first vinyl 'single' you ever bought?
-
Blackberry Way by The Move
Have you still got the means to play vinyl?
-
i do have a record player still, but it's buried in a cupboard somewhere. so if i absolutely needed to i could.
what Windows are you running right now? (and how does it compare to the other editions, in your opinion?)
-
Windows 7 (64 bit, of course) and it bloody rocks! I'd never go back to XP.
Are you a PC or a Mac?
-
i am a pc. simply because it's what i know and i aint changing now!
were you an Amiga or an Atari ST?
-
I was both, but I preferred the Amiga.
Going back even further, were you a Spectrum or an Amstrad?
-
A Spectrum.
And inbetween - were you a Super Nintendo or a Sega Megadrive?
-
SNES! all the way.
Toy Story or Shrek?
-
Toy Story!
Are barbecues brilliant or overrated?
-
Overrated! Why do people stick the things on early just after you've put the washing on the line? Can't they wait until the evening?
Gremlins or Ghoulies?
-
Gremlins! (though i was a huge fan of Ghoulies 2 in my youth... back then i thought it was the best movie ever.)
world war I or world war II - which was better?
-
What? Both were bad for the amount of carnage, but I do have a soft spot for the technology crossover of WWI. The story of the 369th US Infantry Regiment is a tale I'm amazed Clint Eastwood hasn't filmed.
WWIII. Will it ever happen?
-
oh yes, certainly.
england, ireland, scotland or wales - which is better, and why?
-
i'd say ireland for the guinness but we have that here so its anywhere but wales.
who is your favourite member of the royal family ?

Erm, I don't think I've got one. Harry seems ok though.
Am I the last person in the world to start internet banking? I can't imagine why I didn't do it before, it's so easy!
-
i started using it in 1998 on my old sky digital box, so yes - welcome to 2011!
would you agree that Patrick Stewart is the coolest living bald man? (or if not, who?)
-
I'd have said he was definitely a front-runner, but he lost points when he made those stupid 'jokes' about James Corden's weight at that awards ceremony. Weak fat jokes about someone who has pretty much always used his weight to his advantage? Tacky.
One for the football fans amongst you... Despite all the talk of what amazing football they play, how brilliant it is that they develop great young players from within and how well the club is run financially, Arsenal haven't won a trophy in six years. Is it time to be sacrilegious and say it's time for Wenger to go?
-
No, he's still a great manager - they've just been unlucky. And that from a Chelsea fan! Don't get me on Alex Ferguson on the other hand - he's way past his sell-by date, despite their results.
I can't decide whether to have a patio built or decking. Any thoughts please?
-
patio! it's nicer. i think. yes, it is. patio. just do it.
what's the stupidest thing you've done/said this week?

Have you fixed your gas/electricity tariff?
-
it's on my 'to do' list.

-
Probably Jason of Elm Street because whenever I see that movie I still get goosebumps.

-

parents hitting their kids for disciplinary reasons - yay or nay?

-
i like both but if i can only have one then smooth.

-

do you have a preference when it comes to salad cream and tomato sauce or do you think the shops own brand is as good as the big makes ?
-
i hate store brand ketchup. it's either heinz or branston or nothing! salad cream - i can quite happily eat a cheap brand. can't really tell the difference there.
reggae reggae sauce - are you a fan?
-
Yes definitely - love the stuff and all its varieties.
Have you seen a decorated Christmas tree yet? (I have - in Sainsbury's, couldn't believe it)
-
actually, no. i walked into my local adsa in june 2010 and saw a giant father xmas stood in the foyer advertising something or another. i think june was a record for me. but no - this year not been too bad.

-
lovely.
if you could only have one choc item for Christmas what would it be ?
-
it just wouldn't be xmas without a great big toblerone.
lord of the rings or star wars? (seriously - i'm trying to decide which to buy first on BluRay.)
-
How can there be any doubt? STAR WARS of course, the greatest films ever made! And yes, I have them on Blu Ray (Amazon was the cheapest).
How will your Christmas budget compare to last year's - will you be spending more, less or about the same? Definitely less for me!
-
(i love them both relatively equally, but the way i see it is LOTR is 100% excellent... where as star wars is only 50% excellent - sorry... i loathe episode 1 with a passion, slightly disliked 2 and kinda liked 3, ish. what a dilemma!)
definitely spending less. still going to be a blast though.
sticking with the star wars saga here - which film of the 6 in your opinion is the best one? (and why?)
-
I still have a particular affection for 'Return of the Jedi', probably because I used to watch it over and over with my kids when they were small. One of my youngest son's first sentences was 'I do not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation' although I'm not sure which film that was from! Nobody could believe their ears when he came out with it.
Are you having or going to a fireworks display this weekend?
-
(come on, goldie! Empire was the best! Return = too many muppets and furry bear creatures for my liking!)
no, not a personal one. we'll just go to the one on weymouth beach as usual. then the weekend after there's another more extravagant one nearby where i live, so we'll probably hit that one too.
indoor fireworks... should they bring them back in a big way or what?
-
There are two reasons why I don't wanna do in door fireworks. 1. My parents have asthma and they might get suffocated if we do it 2. I'm scared of it. :-[
What are your plans for this coming Christmas?
-
sacrificing my first born to the dark lord Galmenesh.
what does your tree look like this year?
-
It's a midnight blue tree (artificial obviously) with gold, silver and blue decorations. No red or green this year.
Are you a fan of outdoor Christmas lights?
-
yes, when done correctly. if i had a house i'd probably be right into them, but there's not much you can do with a flat.
have you ever seen the blackpool lights, and what did you make of them?
-
Yes I went this year for the first time and I thought they were good. I enjoyed going on an illuminated tram to see them.
Have you been or would you like to go to Las Vegas?
-
never been. my brother got married there (tacky, tacky, tacky)... twice. i'd love to go there just for the atmosphere. it's on my list of things to do when i eventually get to america.
2012 - is the world really in any danger of ending this year? (and if so will it be as uninteresting as the film?)

what was the name of your first pet? (no, this IS NOT a security question!)
-
A dog called Candy.
What will be on the top of your Christmas tree this year ?
-
A fake pine cone. It's a fibre-optic thingy and it's covered in them, so I don't have too much say in the matter, really.
Just been watching St. Elmo's Fire on one of the movie channels... who was your favourite brat-packer of the 80's?
