Ask the person below you another Question

[everywhichway]

So the previous thread is nearly full up.

Wanna start this new one?

Crackers with cheese and pickle

Favourite TV series that's not on Netflix?

I would not know what is on Netflix or not.

Current favourite is Kraft Suspense Theatre.

Are you superstitious and if so please give an example.

Not as a rule, but I will always salute a magpie.

Is there a cookbook you reach for time and again or a chef/cookery writer you trust above others?

Not greatly, but I always greet Magpies and enquire after their families.... Had some nesting in the garden this year, so it's been quite a chatty place here.

Worst date you've ever been on?

Nigel Slater in reply to the previous Q.

So many things I barely know where to start.

Are you in touch with any school friends?

No

Which outfit that you have worn in the past do you remember affectionately?

Double Denim. Nuff said.

If we all had to wear warning labels, what would yours say?

I am totally bonkers

What would you like to happen in Afghanistan?

For the Taliban to be overthrown and a female president to take the reigns and rebuild the country.

How many pairs of shoes do you have? (approximate if you have to)

Probably about 20.

What are your plans for today?

Working. Bit of food shopping. Bit of washing.

Where are you reading this right now?

In the kitchen, making a cup of tea.

What piece of conventional wisdom have you found to be total rubbish?

Total rubbish: The term “lost” virginity. Sexist language! Nothing is lost from having sex. If you fo it right, a lot is gained.

Are you dreading the winter?

Does it not mean losing the status of being a virgin? And it applies to both genders surely?

No. If you approach it in the right way there's a lot to enjoy...

What are you really looking forward to at the moment?

Oops. I was replying to Starlight obvs.

But you're no longer a virgin. You can't gain it back?

Having a coffee

....I'm beginning to wish I'd stayed out of this.

Sorry to derail

Back to @StarlightLady: love chilly dry days, cosy clothing and comfort food. Dislike less daylight and dreary days.

Have you been away on a foreign holiday this year?

Yes, went to the Caribbean.

Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great-grandchildren?

Great question. The past and meet my ancestors. We have fucked up the world for future generations so I wouldn’t like to meet my descendants as they will be of the opposite mindset to mine.

If you were to write a non fiction book what would your subject matter be?

I am writing about my daughters recovery from anorexia and includes positives about how it has changed everyone - for the better in many ways.

Do you find MN depressing with all of its stories about broken relationships? I do.

No. I find a lot of things depressing but the number of broken relationships featuring on MN isn’t one of them.

What from your childhood do you wish you still had?
