2001: A Space Odyssey or Empire, it's a tough call especially when films like Gattaca never get the credit they deserve

Would you name your child Hannibal??

No! Would you name your child Adolf?

No! Would you name your child Martin??

No.

Do you prefer Caffe Nero or Pret a Manger?

Caffe Nero. Quite like Costa Coffee tbh

Favourite coffee when out and aboot??

I don't drink it that often. Not sure.

Does this forum ever bore you?? Not you guys of course

I think it would if I were to ever go into the celebrity bit or the reality TV bit or the soap bit or the Strickly bit. Areas to do with mobile phones, radio, pc's etc would bore the pants off me. But we all have our own interests....the folks who post there look down their noses at Chatter. Each to their own

Tis the weekend!!! I am doing NOTHING and it's such a fabulous thought Don't you love doing NOTHING??? Well I say nothing but I shall be doing things I want to do

I love doing nothing but have job applications to complete

Would you have a lodger??

No, unless I was really on my uppers. I like having friends and family to stay and I need the room for that. My son and DIL had lodgers for several years and it wasn't ideal in a small house but they needed the money. When I or others went to stay they had to farm the lodger out onto a friend's sofa!

I've just stacked a vast pile of wood into my woodshed, enough I reckon to last until the end of January Although I am now filthy and exhausted I enjoyed doing it, always do....would you think that odd?

No, physical exercise often increases endorphins

Do you like crab sarnies??

Oh yes! Always reminds me of summer days and seaside pubs. Crab sarny in brown bread with a bit of lettuce and tomato on the side Only had one this year, sadly - when I was in Wales. Quite a few of the locals boil and dress their own and sell from their homes. We got some from a house that sticks a picture of a crab in the window when they've got some to sell...it was lush!

If you sell odds and ends through an eBay "shop" or Etsy, do you have to inform the tax man or just....earn a wee bit on the side?

You should inform the tax man but I doubt there are many people making above a their non-taxable threshold on such transactions

Do you still have any of your childhood toys??

Yes, I have my Teddy bear, an Etch a Sketch, and quite a few childhood books. The Etch a Sketch was my pride and joy

Did you own one?

No. I had a Magnadoodle. It was far superior

Did you have a Mr Frosty?

No

Did you have a Mr Potato Head??

No, but I wanted one...and a Magnadoodle!!!

Good to see you, Moose!

Have you got a new diary yet for 2016?

Yes - Bought it back in October - @Poundland - Burgundy with Gold **** 2016 ****
Full page for weekdays / half page for weekends
Looks just like the £5 ones I normally buy on Ebay
[ Often in black or navy with gold numbers ]

How about you ?

Got one in the Cats charity shop for £1, it's the one I usually like to get and was a set with a large A5 diary, notepad and small diary and pen. Bargain or what!

Who would give away a brand new diary set for 2016 like that?? I guess they must already have got one and someone gave them a present. Win win for me!

Fab Bargain and your guess sounds like the reason for parting with it

I always get - A5 -----------------------------> 8.27 inches by 5.83 inches
which is half the size of an A4 page >>>> 8.27 inches by 11.69 inches

Do you put your right arm / leg >>>>>>>>>> into clothing - first ?

I've no idea! I haven't ever thought about it I probably alternate. I base this on being somewhat ambidextrous. I do a lot of things with both hands that most folks would do either with right or left. I don't write so well with the left but I can do it.

I should go out and do gardening but it's well cold and blowing a hooley. What would you do?

I'd not bother

Carole - No, I use Outlook Express for work stuff and my phone for personal stuff

Do you own a calendar??

Twassy = stay cozy indoors & wait for a milder sunnier day to do those gardening jobs

Edit - Nate Yes I always have a wall calendar up by my front door
Most years - I have a large A3 ? size wall calendar

[ As I am for the last half hour ]
If you were sat and surrounded by
A pack of Large festive smelling Fruited Tea cakes
A pack of 5 Apple Donuts -
Some fresh white bread -
Some Mangetout and Sugar Snaps -
A punnet of Nectarines
Morrison's Hot food counter / pick n mix Brown Bag of Large chilli roasted Chicken portions

What / Which / would tempt you the most - to reach out and eat one item ??

I have three for next year. I like calendars One is a Cats one... I was obliged to have that. Two are pagan ones. I love them both It's like having extra artwork in your home.

Have you had a mince pie yet?

yes - I had 4 x baby mince pies with a perfect cup of tea at at a Friend's house @ 1-45am on Friday Morning
I then left there at 2-30am to drop another friend home a short distance away -
then I came home after our fabulous Xmas Buffet / Champagne night out


Have you had some mince pies yet ?
