No but I know someone who will most likely be going into one in the near future.

Do you favour a particular colour when buying clothes?

I do, but I'm afraid to mention the colour in case people think I'm racist.

Who will you be voting for as president?

Despite having been in Ireland for 33 years, I am not a citizen (am UK citizen) so can't vote in the presidential election or referendum. If I could vote, I would vote for Michael D.

Do you prefer white or brown bread?

I prefer white for toast, but more often eat and like brown soda bread.

Do you coordinate you clothes every day?

Ted_YNWA · 20-10-2018 8:28pm

Nah, not sales-y person, so would probably f-up the sales pitch to the Dragons.

Would you make a good sales person?

wonderful … not. I did work as a double gazing salesman back in the 1970;s and it cost me a load of money back then.

I have worked in shops a few times too, I was ok in that role.
ever worked un a shop?

Ted_YNWA · 20-10-2018 9:19pm

Nope, could never handle having to deal with all the crackpots of the public.

Do you have a good threshold for idiots?

Rubecula · 20-10-2018 9:29pm

not at all I suffer the pain of idiots

what would you use minced lamb for?

Ted_YNWA · 20-10-2018 9:34pm

Shepherds Pie is the standard use for it.

Are you a good cook?

Rubecula · 20-10-2018 9:59pm

awful I hate cooking to be honest
maybe that is why I asked about the minced lamb. what do you think?

Ted_YNWA · 20-10-2018 10:11pm

And that children is chapter 2 of Mary had a little lamb.

Was that what you went shopping for, or for a jigsaw of a lamb?

Eventually they do I think, but there's always another good thing coming up too.

I wouldn't normally be in them that much tbf, but as it was wet yesterday here I had nothing better to do than go to town with wife, I thought fcuk I couldn't be dealing with this already.

Do you support local shops in general or is it the big supermarkets you shop in?

Mainly the big supermarkets but I do go to the butcher and veg shop occasionally.

Why do men go shopping with their wives and then walk around looking miserable?

Well for myself, I enjoy the odd wander around the shops with herself, it only happens maybe 3/4 times a year, mainly because I'd be working Saturdays and as that's her day off and she always shops on Saturday. She usually bribes me to go by buying me lunch. But generally I think men just go get what they want and home, women like to browse and look at several shops before the decide what to buy.

Are you a browser?

I sure am, myself and my friend can browse all day but usually buy also and return quite a lot too.

Do you ever bribe your wife?

Have you ever blackmailed anyone to get what you want?

No, I'm self employed, had one and gave it up.
Love being my own boss, but mostly my days are longer than 9-5 and often 6 days a week too.

Inside about to head out to collect the lads from training.

Do you need to be very disciplined to be self employed, I'd struggle to get out of the bed if I was my own boss?

Not at all, it's just the same as working for someone else really, just that I give a price for work before I start the job, then the faster I get it done the more lolly I make, its actually more motivating I find.

Are you easily motivated?
