Ask The Person Below You A Question: that tricky third thread...

Friday when I go to my art group, and days when I have arranged a day trip on a coach. Back on now thankfully.

If you had to choose between blindness or deafness, which would you choose?

That's tricky, if I was deaf I could at least get about and retain my independence but never hearing a piece of music again, laughter or conversation would be hard, but I really couldn't bear to be blind as I love being creative with sewing or knitting etc etc and to not read or watch telly would leave an enormous gap.

Are you good with your hands, ie can you juggle or shuffle a pack of cards with skill?

No but I can pick up a chocolate - eat it - and then pick up another one very, very fast!!

Do you like yourself?
I do most of the time - but when I asked this question to friends and family most said "NO"

I dont always "like" myself because I can be very harsh and unforgiving. I do respect myself and what Ive achieved which I think is more important.

Have you ever skived off in work?

I used to work in a university (long before smart phones) and you were not allowed to have your phone on in the library. So no one could reach you if you said you were going there. I used to go and look around the shops or just go home early. However I always made up the work in my own time to meet deadlines. So more re-organizing the schedule to suit myself rather than skiving.

No, never…..

Do you like the new bronze statue of Diana, Princess of Wales ?

No, I think it makes her look short and dumpy.

What are you doing this weekend?

Not terribly. It’s a bit sentimental for me.

Did you smoke, and if you did have you given it up?

Never smoked as didn’t have the patience (thankfully) to give it a go. If it had worked straight away, like an alcoholic drink, it might be a different matter…

If you had to choose a nationality for your (imaginary?) next husband, which would you choose?

Im divorced and would never marry again! If I did I would prefer an American. I lived in the USA for a year and find American men more attractive than Brits.

If you could chose any car regardless of price what would it be?

I dont drive but if I won the euro lottery my choice would be a chauffeur driven rolls.

chose = choose

What question would you ask if you didn’t have a question? ?

I’d ask ‘What question shall I ask you’?

So?

I'm confused!
It's too early for this!

I love my car so would just buy a newer version. A black John Cooper Works Mini . I would sell the old one and give the money to the local food bank.

Do you eat fish on Fridays ?

Yes always eat fish on Fridays.

Are you doing anything exciting this weekend?

No

What is your favourite Disney film?

Little Mermaid (Bambi was too sad).

Where do you keep your vacuum cleaner(s)?

In a cupboard under the stairs.

If you have to be reborn as an animal which one would it be?

I would return as a cat. They have such a superior and entitled attitude and owners indulge them.

biglouis I’ll leave your question for the next poster as my answer would be same as yours.

If you have to be reborn as an animal, which one would it be?

I'm not sure that I'd want to be an animal but I'd choose to be a cat too. I'd laze about and look quizzically at the human race and hope to be indulged.

Do you still use a fountain pen for special letters?

No, I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter. I do like a nice pen though rather than a plastic biro.

If you drive, do you enjoy it ?

I do drive and hate it. My eyesight is adequate but it makes me very tired. Never more than about 30 minutes if I can.

Can you play a musical instrument?

A little piano, but singing is my main thing.

Would you say your wardrobe consists mainly of neutrals or patterns/florals?

More patterns and florals. And bright colours.

Do you own a suit? Remember when trouser suits were popular?

Plenty of trousers but not a suit. I’m enjoying wearing long flowing skirts this summer.

Have you ever ridden on a motorbike or scooter?
