Interview the person below you II

honeybear

Tenner (he’s married, likes a laugh)

Who is the last person you’ve spoken to (in person)?

Purple Mountain

Mother Bear.

I'd get the colleague a funny mug for the work canteen.

How's the weather your way?

The Princess Bride

It's grand, a wee bit of rain and a slight breeze but I'll survive.

Do you buy daily or weekend newspapers?

honeybear

Weekend (used to buy dailies)

Polonecks - yay or nay?

Purple Mountain

I live in them in winter. Nay on guys though.

Do you buy new clothes for Christmas?

RMAOK

Tbh no - I'm not a fan of Christmas.

I nearly did have to, if I really had to and had a choice of location itd b Cornwall. Weathers good, close enough to visit Ireland with ease, landscapes varied and interesting, good rich history and an alternative feel to it.its the least England feeling part of England. There's plenty of museums and cultural attractions and the Eden project. Nice place to raise a family.


Have you ever been given a second chance?
(In any way)

Yay!

Do you bake for Christmas.. or at all?

No, it would not be a dish I would go looking for. The smell of it is like something from a bush tucker trial.

Not really, I'm not a suspicious person, I tend to take people at face value originally and don't judge until I have some experience of them.

What do you think of Kevin Myers?

RMAOK

He's opinionated. I don't agree with a lot of his ideas, but I respect him for not taking the politically correct option all (or most) of the time.

What's your opinion on the term "West Brit"?

Ooh I loved Walter Macken too.

I've had a few things published but you probably wouldn't know them. I'm going to.be secretive on this one.


Edit: West Brit and all animosity to English or perceived to be English people is ridiculous at this point in time. Some growing up needed by those who cling onto all of that

Do you know your moon sign (as opposed to your star sign)

Trigger Happy

No, I have no idea what a Moon sign is but I have had proper Moonshine in the Appalachians.

If Santa had to review your behaviour over 2019 would you be getting the present of your dreams or a lump of damp coal?
