Okay-dokey. Got tagged with this quiz by Ruth of the amazing & beautiful garden. I'm suposed to answer and pass it on to at least five other people...
SO HERE GOES:---
If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?
If I had to choose one place in the world I would go for central France because the climate is a mixture of temperate & Mediterranean, there's LOADS of wildlife (again the mixture) and I love French châteaux. An Englishman's home is his...
What’s your favourite article of clothing?
Ooer. It would be the old baggy Peruvian jumper my exex stole off me.
Favourite physical feature of the opposite sex?
Turned sideways, the S-line between hips and thighs.
What’s the last CD that you bought?
Seriously cannot remember I was always a cassette cheapskate. It was most probably either Seargeant Pepper- Beatles or Kraftwerk the one with "she's a model and she's looking good" sung more choonlessly than I do...
Where’s your favourite place to be?
Do you really want to know? In dreamland...
Where is your least favourite place to be?
In withdrawal-land (or bad acid land) or outside when it is cold-land...
What’s your favourite place to be massaged?
On the beach.
Strong in mind or strong in body?
Mind. Definitely. My mind defeats me.
What time do you wake up in the morning?
Well the 1st time is 5am. Then around 7am, 8:30am, 10:30am... Obviously I might have to get up before 10:30am though...

Cheesegrater..?.. I s'pose...
What makes you really angry?
Things not working properly.
If you could play any instrument, what would it be?

Don't know what SUV is, but if it's bigger (which it has to be- duh! I'd go for that..)
Do you believe in an afterlife?
Most definitely.
Favourite children’s book?
Rupert Bear. Why do people so very rarely mention him as a favourite (?), and yet originals of Rupert annuals... well you just can't find them, they're £100s each.

Spring.
Your least favourite household chore?
Drying up. Ugh.
If you could have one super power, what would it be?

If you have a tattoo, what is it?
Asked tattoist about temporary 2 yr tatts (lovely real needle no ugly lifelong mark) he told me I'm not the type to get one as I keep changing my mind. Which is definitely true. The only "tattoo" I need is the one I already have: my memory.
Can you juggle?
Only with 2 balls. Ooer.

My maternal grandmother.
What’s your favourite day?
Ruth said "Today". That's a good enough answer...

Which do you prefer, sushi or hamburger?
Hamburger- definitely! Especially a lovely thick cheeseburger!!! And if from kebab shop with all salad, all sauces, 3 huge chillies...
I tag........... Chipper, Ivy, Mousie, Meg-o-Rama, Grumpy Git!!, my new & fascinating friend Daubmir + Raymi's Mum she lost her entire old blog so I told her this would at least be something to start with...- C'mon folks...!!...
N.B. This is purely for fun and not compulsory so if you don't want to then I SHALL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN!! - and if you believe that you don't know me!...
Thanks for stopping by man,I'm gonna delve deeper in your stuff tomorrow, I seem to be falling asleep at the wheel here.

ReplyDeleteIf you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?

BUGGER! The damn thing went all mad alec on me before I could fix the spacing on your little quiz...
ReplyDeleteARGH! Sorry it's all jumbly and such...
I totally lifted this quiz from your blog for my own purposes. Thanks for the free content. Sometimes I am at a loss for what to write. When/if you read my posting you'll find a heinous admission on my part. My apologies for being such a stupid Yank.
ReplyDeleteWS
Brilliant GW. I'm sure I had an S-line once...must have lost it somewhere! Did you own a pair of Rupert Bear trousers when you were a kid?
ReplyDeleteRx
Ah, the lovely "S-line" ... I never heard it described that way, but yes, I know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteAnd a question re: your least-favorite household chore: what is "drying up?" Doing dishes (as we Yanks might say)?
And alas! I've been tagged. I shall gladly oblige! Sounds fun.
O right - drying up is the drying part of doing dishes, the part children are usually roped in to do. It's my childhood memories of grasping the soggy cloth: the hot-&-cold, wet-&-dry mix got 2 me.
ReplyDeleteG
Rupert Bear trousers? Ohwhh.. not red tartan, no. I do remember wearing a lot of courldroy (whatever you call it, in plain English: Cords), may have had BROWN chequered or checked (what is the word?:,- I don't know my fabric designs.) Actually if you're into patterns go to lealawson.blogspot.com (I "blogs I'm readinged it up top). But to get back to the point, surely brown would have been worse..? Hmmm I don't remember. But in mitigation, I DID have a 1970s childhood.
ReplyDeleteI did answer and published it in my blog, with Docabeille...thanks dear
ReplyDeleteall the best from mousie

Done - answers are on my blog .

ReplyDeleteRe. drying up. Just leave in in the drainer! It dries itself.
For more slacker tips, see me! :-)
Yes you're quite right about leaving it in the drainer, but my elders would not let me. Nowadays I DO do precisely that.
ReplyDeleteOr I just quicky wipe it down with the inside of my sweater...
No-no just kidding!!
