Ask the Person Below You a Question: Spring Edition!

Tom Ford Oud Wood is my favourite, with Aesop Marrakech a close second .

Do you prefer a bath or a shower ?

I like Come Dine too, but it's not as good as it was. The early series' were brilliant. I remember an old fella who was cooking crepes a l'orange. He didn't have any Cointreau so used Blue Caraco (sp?) instead.

I have not been to the Ideal Home - buy I have been to the Clothes Show Live, which you mentioned on another thread this morning!

What is your favourite perfume?

Come Dine With Me is my favourite. People watching , cooking and nosying around houses!

Have you ever been to The Ideal Home Exhibition?

Yes. I love fairy lights. I've got them round a mirror in my bedroom and some bronze leaf ones round a picture in the living room. And some tiny ones on a large orchid!

What is your favourite rubbishy TV?
Mine is Four in a Bed.
I'm also getting into a New Life in the Sun, which is a bit like TOWIE for older people.

Oh yes, always the crosswords, sometimes the sudokus.

Do you like fairy lights all over the place ?I had them at Christmas and they are so nice I have left them up. Just plain white ones though.

A jigsaw when I was 10 and last year gin and books on GN.

Do you do crosswords, sudoku etc?

No! I've never even touched one

Have you ever won anything?

No.

Have you ever had a real fur coat?

Neither. I once did a flotilla holiday around the Dalmatian Islands and was sick as a dog on several occasions. No cruise ships for me .

Have you ever been in a glider ? I have ... and that’s another story.

Both. We took a helicopter ride to the Isle of Scilly. I don’t know if they still do it. It was over 40 yrs ago.

Do you prefer small/ large ship cruising?

A nurse. Nursing and teaching were the only jobs suggested at careers training.
I swapped my job for work in IT quite late on.

Have you ever been to Lands End or John O’Groats?

No but I consider myself to be quite bright ......... I hope those that know me would agree

What did you want to be when you were growing up?

Yes, I'm not sure what that means, but I more than likely am.
I heard someone describe themselves as 'mixed class'.
That's definitely me.

Yes from Woolacombe to Ilfracombe secondary school

Are you academic?

Spelling, Yes. Grammar, not sure. There wasn’t much emphasis put on it at my Secondary Modern School. But I get by.

Did you travel on the School Bus?

No anniversary celebrations here . No presents either for birthdays .

Are you good at spelling and grammar?

Fanny
Sorry to interrupt the thread but I wanted to explain.
My daughter and I were gardening together yesterday and belting out some George Micheal.
I said to her ^christ your crap ?) she disagreed. She’s wrong ?
As you were.

I love The Sound of Music, it has the right amount of sentiment.

Do/did you celebrate wedding anniversaries?

Yes! I had one done on my hip on a school trip to Paris when I was fourteen.
I got into a lot of trouble!

What is your favourite musical?

Singing! Even the cat screws her face and ears up when I sing.
I like to think of myself as a bit of a Barbra Streisand ?

Have you got, or do you want, a tattoo?

Wow! What a brilliant question Meryl!
I'm going to have a think; I'm sure that there is.

If anyone is sufficiently self-aware to answer Meryl's question - please go ahead!

G&T or Cointreau.
This could be contentious.
Do you think your good at something when your actually not ?

Yes we do. I love it.

What’s your favourite tipple ( probably had this so please forgive me, couldn’t think of anything)?

Goldfinch-they’re so pretty.
Actually it’s starlings. They entertain me endlessly on our bird feeders.

Would you/do you have a wood burner?

I have to say Wiggy as she would be very upset if I didn't.
Apart from her, I think owls are magnificent. But it's hard to choose.

Do you play a musical instrument and if so which one?
