Valkyrie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I love this country, but I feel it won't be long before it deteriorates even more, so would love to emigrate somewhere similar but not overcrowded, but it's too late for us - been trying to tell the children there's no future for them here and to broaden their horizons. Any future plans for when you retire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Reading - boring but true Are you reading a book at the moment, if so what one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've mainly been reading "truck", "car", "dear zoo", "Elmers Day".......don't seem to have time to read for myself at the moment! What is your favourite childhood book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The Magic Faraway Tree. I haven't read it for years but remember it so well Do you watch children's TV programmes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I catch the odd programme that my children are watching. Can't stand Tracey Beaker. Thought King Stupid was brilliant - very funny. Which Spice Girl are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'd like to say Sporty but I think I'm more (big) Baby Did you like the Spice Girls BTW - I know one of the writers of Tracey Beaker, he's married to my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I don't like TB because there always seems to be a lot of shouting and arguing going on and the boys used to watch it in the morning as the last programme before switching off to go to school, so it all tended to be a bit shouty and argumentaive here too! The writing is of course superb! No, didn't/don't likie the Spice Girls. Take THat (current line up) or Robbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Neither - never been a fan! What kind of music do you listen to most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Whatever my children are listening to - or I put my music on sometimes and have a singalong in the kitchen while I cook to get my own back! Sam Cooke, The Monkeys, The Who, Dragonforce, Alice Cooper, Herman's Hermits, Glen Miller, Tchaikovsky - all sorts, but where the heck has my ZZ Top gone? I just love all sorts of music (but not keen on modern jazz, although I love Dixieland jazz). Not too fond of rap, but I like the Beastie Boys and Eminem - Will Smith. Prodegy's latest is quite interesting. Armored for Sleep, The Blackout are quite good. But most of my favourites are rock or heavy rock - goes with the Tchaikovsky bit - I reckon he was a bit of a rocker in his day! I have a terrible habit of wanting to see the locations of films I have seen. I recognise a lot of Canadian places which is very irritating to OH because he just wants to look at something else. Of course I have several things that irritate my family, but what do you think is your most irritating habit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Most irritating habit is currently picking my left foot (dont tell anyone). What was the most embarassing thing that ever happened to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I think I answered this one before and I said I hadn't had any - then I remembered a bad one and thought how could I have forgotten that. And it's gone out of my head again! But I do remember another, and I would have been about 16/17 going to school. I had just got off the train, popped into the sweetie shop for some peppermints and found the level crossing had stopped all the traffic. It was raining somewhat and there was a huge puddle. I slipped and did the splits in that puddle with all those drivers watching me. I was soaked through had very wet knickers and was quite chafed by the time I got to school. I cycled after that! I don't have a bike anymore - it was a huge, chunky Raleigh 16 and bright red. I loved that bike - always falling off it mind. Did you ever have a favourite bike?

Sheilaz Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ouch, poor you! Yes! Michelle, ma belle. A blue Rayleigh. Rode my bike for hours every w/e and school holidays between about 7 and 16 years. Strange, but true; Have you noticed how many really good questions are answered with a "No", instead of someone who is interested in the subject responding?

Space Chick Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 No Okay... I can't leave it at just a No, I hadn't noticed Maybe its because someone has thought of a really good question. My question is fairly good I think. What is your earliest childhood memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 When I was 4, I was playing with my brother and cousin in the old run down chicken sheds, The steps were rotten and broken and I fell through them into a patch of stinging nettles. Ouch! But I remember being more upset because the shock made me poo my knickers, I still remember my brother and cousin laughing at me as I ran in to mum. I'm just having my usual breakfast - museli with added seeds. Do you always have the same thing for breakfast or do you ring the changes?

Plum Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 No Sometimes mum makes me porridge from pellets. Sometimes she gives me some cabbage and hangs it from the roof of the run and yesterday she threw wheat at me What was the best thing your mum gave you?

Looney Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ooh that's a tough question A sharp tongue? Ok, seriously...My mum knitted a Shaun the Sheep cot mobile and it is fantastic! She gave it to me to hang in our nursery and no end of people comment on it Do you speak a foreign language? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sort of I sat GCSE French 3 times just to get a grade C and have never used the language since. I could probably get by on asking for a beer & a pain au chocolate! If you were having your last meal what would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
