Dear me, I was a provincial child, the coolest place we had to hang was the park or the local Wimpy

Were you able to get served in a pub before you were 18? I was nearly 30 before the questioning stopped And we had no ID in those days

I could really only afford bitter shandy as I was mostly studying throughout my teens. I was given drinks by my parents at home from quite an early age [they liked a drink] but when out, it was rarely more than a few halves of shandy. And even then I needed a friend to buy it from me since I looked about 12 until my mid twenties

Are you going out anywhere today?

as far as I know it is Liverpool - It certainly has improved as it has become far more modern and stylish gradually over the last 10 years
I know Manchester has been a very vibrant cosmopolitan City for many many years

I have to pop out today - to stock up on Kitty biscuit foods
I discovered this morning that - while I am out = I need to return
one of my 2 new **Heat Retaining** stretch tops @ Asda - [ Were £9 each ]
One of them was - A size 14 top - which was on the wrong [ 16 size labelled ] hangar

If you could do something enjoyable & interesting Today - that you don't usually do
- What would you **enjoy doing today ** - ? -
it may even be something that you have not actually ever done before ??

I have always thought hand gliding was the correct wording
& Yes I am coming Nate

Thanks Twassy - I Now - I realise **Hang ** gliding would be correct
Before this I have always thought - it got it's name because
you **hang on with your hands** & glide

What things have you just realised in recent years
that you just didn't get before ?

I'm struggling to think of anything

Do you go through your paperwork occasionally and throw out old stuff to make more room in the filing box? I did this earlier....now got loads of old bank statements to burn!

Yes - usually at 6 monthly intervals
I sort out a stack of unopened mail & brochures etc etc

It always results in all the floor around me deeply layered with loads !!!!! of paper stuff to then gather up and discard / recycle

Have you read any real paper books so far this year ?

No. I read a Batman graphic novel but I doubt that counts.

What real paper book should I be reading??

They mostly all exist in virtual form as well as paper these days. Plus, you aint killing a tree!

Do you snack more when bored or more when watching a film or TV prog you are enjoying?

Yes I watched it last night. Very well made I thought although extremely sad. She was so vulnerable

Do you like her music? I am guessing not! I like some, not all. Never been a fan of jazz.

This one, then probably Mary Sue or the Jimquisition website

I'm not counting Steam as that is more a client than a website

You??
