Yay
Yay, twinny
What your getting ready to go out dancing music?
Hmmm good question.. These days I tend to get ready in such a hurry that I don't listen to music as such when getting ready. If I did listen to music I'd never be ready in time cos I'd get distracted dancing to it. Sad but true
Whats your Tv turn off?
My TV turn off would have to be Big Brother.0 -

Are you doing a happy dance??:P
Don't I always?
Can you throw people down the stairs without them hitting a step?? :P
Yep I've perfected it now. For a while there they were hitting the last step but now they go the whole way down
Drink of choice??
Varies so often. I don't have a particular one. Vodka is a real winner though. Oh and I do love those long island iced teas but only when it's made with lemon and lime and not sweet and sourz mix!
What's your 'never fails to cheer you up' song??
Brucie's Dancing in the Dark0 -

Most awesome experience you've had ever?
Hmmm possibly would have to be being in Croke Park when Tipp won the All-Ireland hurling final back in 2001. Oh and drinking with the team in Roddy Bolands the next day.
What other username would you have chosen if trowelled was taken?
Probably Noodles
Favourite colour?
Pastel blue. Though I do love green and purple too. Though not when they come together and that thing yoke of a dinosaur is created. Flaming Barney *shakes fist*
Describe yourself in five words...
Oooh this is always tough for me cos I hate talking about myself.
Quiet, un-selfish, giver, generous, sensitive
Favourite style of dance?
Don't really have one. However, if there is one dance I'd love to learn it would be a jive.
Can i still be in the dance group? i dont care if i'm at the back
Yeah you can assist Koth. I don't care what he says, he WILL dance0 -

Favourite car?
Don't know it's proper name but I've always wanted a 60s VW bus. It's always been my dream to travel around America in one
That'd be a VW Type 2 T1.
Anywho.. back to the grilling (mmm... i'm a bit hungry now :pac:)
What's your favourite song of all time?
You're stranded on an island and can bring three things with you... what are they?
Coffee or Tea?0 -

What is your favourite science based thing
I don't do science. Goes way over my head
What do you think the funniest name for a body part is
Will have to come back to this because my mind is drawing a blank
Could two skeletons mate in your opinion (the skeletons are magical and animated and such).
Dude I don't wanna know
Favourite place to be
Would probably be my bed cos then I can curl up and sleep away my troubles
Where do you wanna live in the future
I actually don't know the answer to this. Do I have to grow up?:D.
Will you ever get rid of your delusions that I'll dance one day??
Heh, not a chance
Ever found buried tresure on a dig?? Or China??:P
Ha ha, sometimes I did feel like I was digging my way to Chine. HTere have been some considerable depths of crap that I have dug up. Although sometimes, in the crappy weather, there's nothing better than diggin out a section of a ditch.
There has been no treasure sadly. Been on a couple of sites where there were some spectacular finds. There was one site where over 100 Neolithic stone axes found. That was a great site to work on..
How did you get your scars?
I only have one scar which is on my right middle finger (there is a lso a trace of a scar on right forefinger, from same incident). It was due to a dgging accident before I was ever interested in archaeology. It was when I was a child and for some reason we were digging holes in the back garden. I was scooping out some dirt when one of the other kids dug the shovel into the hole getting my fingers in the process
Who do you fancy for the slalom doubles in Vancouver?
There was a time when I took a keen interest in the winter olympics. This year I couldn't tell you who was competing (apart from the fact we are in the bob sleigh).
Does this shirt look good on me?
Most definitely. I trust you have good taste
What's the biggest confession you've ever had to make?
Nope, still haven't owned up to my mother that it was me who scribbled all over the cover of her Bay City Rollers record0 -

What pisses trowelled off about society?
Right now I can't answer this seriously because my father is playing a pretend saxophone beside me. I wish I was kidding. It's ever so distracting. I will come back to it. But remind me as I have a tendency to forget with my head being like a sieve
What's your verdict on UCD; yay or nay?
I didn't really have a problem with it. The archaeology dept was really good and I was privileged to be taught by some of those in the dept. I didn't really like the history dept though. Thet focused far too much on political history and not much on social history. I'm all about social history. I flaming hate politics.
Am I really that small?
Well you ain't tall enough to get on the awesomator
Ah you know we're only kidding with you. You're not that small. You're just smaller than me is all:)That'd be a VW Type 2 T1.
Thanking you for that
What's your favourite song of all time?
God I'm not sure I can answer this. Oooh this is tough. I can't have just one cos I have fave songs for all different reasons. It can also depend on where my mood takes me.
I was gonna try answer this but I've decided it's just far too difficult.
You're stranded on an island and can bring three things with you... what are they?
My copy of Catch-22, so I can have a good giggle.
Mp3 player
My trowel
Coffee or Tea?
Impossible to choose between the two.0 -

Last movie you saw??
Last movie I saw was Ghost. My sister made me sit through it last night
Last book you read??
Jack Kerouac's "Big Sur"
All time favourite tv show??
Hmm toughie. Possibly Band of Brothers. I loves me my war stuffDo you regret doing archaeology
Lol.
There was many a rainy day when I thought "what the hell am I doing?". I do not regret doing archaeology at all. I really wish I could make a career out of it. Why can't I just spend my life researching medieval towns whilst also getting paid for it.??:D
Recently I've been feeling sad about archaeology and the fact that some moronic driver has meant I may never be able to work on site for a very long time. Makes me angry and sad. To say I hate him would be an understatement of the highest order0 -

Do you like cake? If so, whats your favourite type?
Yes I love cake. Mmm maybe sticky toffee or lemon drizzle.
Whats your favourite type of cheese?
This is a toughie. I do love gorgonzola, delicious. But then sometimes I'm in the mood for a really strong cheddar and then sometimes I want a bit of brie or camembert (could so go for some deep fried brie with a redcurrant jelly right now). Me being at the cheesecounter is like a child in a sweetshop
What would you like your last words to be?
"The cheese finally got me". That way I'll have died eaten that oh so amazing foodstuff.
What is the circumfrence of a moose?
I'll go find one and come back and tell you when I'm done
If 3 is the magic number, what the hell is 81?
A darn good age to get to or 18 backwards
Whats your favourite song at the moment?
Well I've been singing Phil Oakley's "Electric Dreams" all day so it would have to be that. Total cheese but hey... and so not what you meant
As for what my fave song out at the moment I don't really know. I'm so not hip with the current music. I tend to listen to oldies
Whats your favourite emoticon? Lets all spread some laughter
When the zombies come, where will you be found making your stand? And what will be your weapon of choice?
I'll probably be on a dancefloor. I shall have a mattock with me cos the archaeologis within me knows damn well how to use a mattock
Yes or No?
No
What would you do if confronted by a serial killer tuna?
Eat it
Whats your favourite number?
It has always been 30 -

Did you have to check how much of your fist fit, or did you already know?How much of your fist can you fit in your mouth?
Not a lot tbh. Only as far as my knuckle. But that's because my hands are ridiculously big due to all the trowelling. I have what is referred to as trowelling muscles.
Good choice!Favourite crisp
Hunky Dorys Buffalo possibly. But I can be fickle bout these sort of things 0 -

Realistically, would you go back to college if there was a course that really caught your interest?.
Yeah I think I would. I did think about doing a phd there for a while. I'm gonna get on to my old college lecturer to rack his brains on all things medieval to see what options are out there for me
The world is facing obliteration, pick your team of five to save it.
Indiana Jones (has to be), Harry Lime (Orson Welles character in the Third Man, he could be the evil plotter). I'll have to come back to this I'm afraid....
What do you like and dislike most about boards?
I like the fact that I have made a good few friends on boards. I have met a couple of people who I shall be firends with for years to come. I like the way most of the fora are welcoming. I have never felt unwanted int he Noct forum.
What I hate are the attention seekers. Those who post complete and utter crap just to get attention from the opposite sex. It has put me off posting in a particular forum. There is another aspect that I hate but I'm not pushed on discussing it. But lets just say it has annoyed me and one or two other boardsiesDid you have to check how much of your fist fit, or did you already know?
I walked out of the room to check that one out. 0 -

Oh noes I struggled enough to pick five with the other
I don't know. Hmmm.........
Ok well Wolfie definitely for his killing abilities. emo!! cos she's my partner in crime and world saving missions. I know Shellyboo will kick ass so she's definitely on it. Then Randy and Onkle could save the world in their own little way (their instruments are a force to be reckoned with).
I'm not great with these lists

1) If you could be anyone for a day who would it be and why?
I would be Indiana Jones. THen I'd get to do some adventurising. I do love adventures. Real archaeology just isn't as fun
2) What sort of car do you drive?
Well I recently had to get a new one. I now drive a VW polo called Connie
3) Were you annoyed at kharn for not comin to the beers
No of course not. I'd never get annoyed with the Kharnmeister, he's awesome. Anywho as I explained the two sentences in my post, in the beers thread, weren't linked
4) Do you have any mottos you live your life by?
Yeah a few. "Never regret what you've done, only the things you haven't." Another one is "To ignore someone is to turn you're back on them and for those who do I have no time", although that one isn't always rigidly applied. Sometimes you gotta give people the benefit of the doubt
5) If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
Teleporting cos I'm a lazy biatch so if I could transport myself somewhere without actually having to move it would be great.
6) do you like short shorts?
Who deosn't. Can't beat a man in short shorts:D
7) is there any song that can cheer you up regardless of how you feel?
As I mentioned earlier, Dancing in the Dark is one of those songs. I can't help but dance to it. I try to do my best Courtney Cox impressions. Roadhouse Blues is probably another one. I love that song
8) any song you could listen to on repeat and not get sick of it?
LA woman. I could never get sick of it.
9) Favourite Book? Favourite film? Favourite book to film adaptation?
Favourite book. Ooh that's hard. I think my top 3, though in no particular order, would be Heller's "Catch-22", Kesey's "Sometimes a Great Notion" and Kerouac's "On the Road"
10) Favourite Boards memory thus far? (beers or otherwise its up to you)
Hmmm I'll have to keep that one to myself...:D0 -

I wants your opinions on the following people's talent (or lack there of);
1. Christian Bale - Good as batman. Other than that I don't really know
2. Marvin gaye - awesome. Heard it on the Grapevine, what a tune!
3. Denzel Washington - a fine respected actor, no? Tis been a while since I've seen him in anything
4. Russell Brand - can take or leave hime
5. Lilly Alan - I don't mind her too much. I don't own any of her music and I probably wouldn't buy it. However, I tend not to turn her off when she's on the radio. As for her personally! I couldn't tell you
Bonus points for guessing who the people are that I think are ****. :pac: - prob them all0 -
