Interview the next person

[drterror666]

Obama by a mile.

Blair or Cameron/Clegg?

[smurfboy]

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!'?

[wjp666]

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?)

[goldencup]

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?

[wjp666]

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?

[drterror666]

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?

[smurfboy]

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?

[drterror666]

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?

[wjp666]

i'd do if for six figures.

what's your favourite western? (and have i asked this one before?)

[drterror666]

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?

[goldencup]

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)

[wjp666]

@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?

[drterror666]

@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?

[smurfboy]

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)?

[wjp666]

the XFL. (google it.)

back in the day, did you ever watch Eldorado?
