Have you ever followed a thread closely, without posting in it ?

Yep. I've religiously followed all of the YLYL threads but I never post because I'm scared I won't be funny

Are you funny?

Yes. A couple at least. One was my friends Nan's funeral and the priest was giving out gluten free communion. People thought it was a joke. It was not. Gluten free Jesus for anyone who needed it.
Other times usually just because of people telling funny anecdotes and sharing happy memories of the deceased.

Are you afraid of death?

Over a year ago I think. Most of the animals looked bored out of their bins.
Felt a bit sorry for them.

I liked it anyway. Tv series was ok too.

Whats the worst book to film adaption you've seen?

Jamaican Me Crazy

PS I Love You. To be fair, the book was well done. Handled death honestly and with depth and explored family and romantic relationships in an interesting way. It is probably the only book by Cecilia Ahearn that I liked. The movie was just OTT diddly Oirish crap. I was embarrassed by it.

No one book stands out but I like the Ian Rankin Rebus series, Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Brian Keenan's - An Evil Cradling is another that comes to mind.

Toothache. It's the bane of my life at the moment and I hate the dentist. So I'm balancing my hatred for pain and my hatred for the dentist to make an appointment.
