A friend works as a hairdresser and he gave it a trim last year... it just doesn't grow

Football or rugby??

Rugby, only cos the players look more manly and have nicer thighs

You should try massaging your scalp with coconut oil. I bet it would grow then I'd be tripping over mine if I started doing that

Are you a walking encyclopaedia of hippie remedies?

Nate has hippie remedies and Twass has her cauldron.

What does eye of newt and toe of frog cure?

It doesn't cure anything, in the Scottish play they are used to conjure spirits

Have you seen Shakespeare's plays at the theatre??

Some of them, yes. A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, MacBeth, and Coriolanus. Nearly fell asleep during the latter....but it was an A level text

MacBeth is actually my favourite and always has been. Roman Polanski's film version of it was brilliant!

Ever seen that version?

Sadly not

Have you seen Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet??

No, I imagine he'd be good....

Putting off going to the cat shop. Although I may find bargains in there during the visit.

Do you find some of your friends act a little weird around the full moon?

Only if there's hair on their palms.

Do you find the phrase "gibbous moon" mildly amusing?

Indeed, I always imagine a gibbon swinging across a moon when I read that

Can you do the funky gibbon?

Of course, I loved The Goodies

"Gibbous moon" - depends how you pronounce it

Last time you ate chips??

Last week at Legends of Rock, lovely cod and chips with mushy peas

Being halfway oop north, they offered gravy on the chips. Being southern, I was like noooo but all our northern pals drenched their chips in gravy, vinegar etc. I like mine crisp and dry.

Wet and squelchy or crisp and dry?

Crisp and dry is for southern softies only.

Excluding fish, what is the next best accompaniment for chippy chips

Eggs. Fried eggs and chippy chips are the most divine combo!!!

Not pies. Pies belong with mash and licquor. It's a London thing

Pies or Eggs?

My dad originally comes from Wigan so it's obviously pies.

What's the best pie filling.

Curried veg

twass - wet and crisp on the outside, squelchy on the inside

Last time you had to attend a funeral??

I haven't had to yet.

When in the month do you get paid?

24th of this month then 15th of the next

Ever work more than one job??

Not unless you count two part time ones. Not a full time and another as well.

Got a really nice wind chime for frees at the cat shop! They just wanted rid of it. Yippee Also was given a Marmite Yeaster Egg from son and DIL!

Jealous?

Yes

I'm gonna get cheap eggs come next week then they slash the price... aren't you??

Quite possibly yes Will they slash 'em on Tuesday morning?

I don't know = but I may pop in and find out

Do you use a steering lock on you car = ?? =

Non car drivers - When did you last read a paper newspaper ??

Today, I read the Evening Standard. What a crappy right-wing rag it is

Favourite paper??

The local freebie one. I lights the fire with it

I've never owned a steering lock thingy, Choccy.

Most of the time I don't bother locking the car, never mind the steering wheel! One of the joys of living off the beaten track.

Did you know most of Cadbury chocolate is made in Poland now?

Yes, we discussed this on the thread when it was revealed that Turkish Delight was being withdrawn from sale while production was moved to Poland

I couldn't tell you, I no longer eat milk chocolate. Too sweet and bland now I am hooked on the dark stuff

Do you know how to make butter?
