Interview the person below you II

Widdershins

Very.

Are you?

RMAOK

I wish I was more resilient tbh

When was the last time you checked your BMI?

Well, checked weight and stuff around April.. I need to lose a bit, but I'm lazy quite frankly..

Do you watch much TV?

RMAOK

I used to watch a lot years ago, but now I watch very little.

Can you let bygones be bygones?

Widdershins

Yes my life's too full for that. I dont bother pointing out to idiots that they are idiots. I just leave them and tbeir cr*p behind. I'd never respect them again though. I can be very nice to people who are nothing to me.

Do you like any sweets?

Upforthematch

Most sweets!

Whats your typical thursday like?

Widdershins

It's a day off for my boyfriend. We always spend Thursday together. Mini road trip, picnic, catch up with/introduce friends.

Do you own any antiques?

honeybear

No.

Do you have any sets of fine china?

Widdershins

Yes, mismatched pieces

Ever seen something so surprising you couldn't believe your own eyes?

Purple Mountain

Yes, about ten years ago I was driving near my house one Sunday, rural roads, and there gliding quite low over a field was a hot air balloon with people looking out over the side. I stayed parallel with them only for a few seconds but then I lost them when I round a bend. Was very strange.

What's the biggest lie you ever caught out?

They look better on men than women I think.

Horrible things.

Crunchie with a latte.

Yes I would

Have you your Christmas lights up ?

honeybear

Not yet. Love Christmas so it’s on the “to do to do” list

Do you have anything on your “to do” list for tomorrow?

Purple Mountain

Yes, tomorrow is a day off work so I'm using it to finish my Christmas shopping. I'm quite excited!

Are you currently reading any book?

honeybear

No. I’m hosting the next Bookclub and there is NO book! (It will be great craic!)

What book best represents you?

Crime and punishment probably..

Do you read autobiographies?

RMAOK

Yes.

Do you like documentaries?

Upforthematch

Ah yeah some great ones out there.

What is your proudest moment?

Trigger Happy

It’s a good question and a hard one to answer. The one that stands out to me right now is that I wrote something once that was published in the Irish times. I was delighted with that as had always done so badly at English in school for the simple reason that I cannot spell due to mild dyslexia. And when I was growing up you were marked down in English exams if you had bad spelling. So to have my way with words recognized like that made me very proud.

If your car got a flat Tyre would you be able to change the wheel yourself or need to call help?

Widdershins

Book that represents me: the time travellers wife (here one minute, vanishes for work the next, haha)

I rarely read autobiographies but I recently read a biography with the personal diary written by Jane Welsh Carlisle and I really enjoyed it.

I don't really watch documentarirs/any tv but try to listen to BBC podcasts when I can.

Proudest moment, helping & believing in someone deemed hopeless and seeing them reach their potential.

I can change a tyre.


Have you ever driven off road?

Have you ever driven off road?

Yes , by a young teenager fella in tractor with a full silage trailer. He couldn't stop so I took to a gap that fortunately was there.
Ever have a bad break up ?

Widdershins

Only had one breakup, it was overdue, I'd half done it about 20 times and didn't want to be there. The chap did it in the end. Not bad as such.
Possibly bad for those I left over the years, but like to think I wasn't callous. I'm afraid I was though.

Any historical 'thinkers' you admire ?

Trigger Happy

People like Newton are and Schrodinger are Godlike in my eyes. How they got their minds to come up with the things they did is amazing.

If you were to be reincarnated as a non-human animal or insect, what would it be?

Widdershins

A hare or a fox.

What would you come back as?

An eagle or albatross.
Must be awesome looking down from that height.
If you could go back in time. Who would you prefer to meet ?

honeybear

A hare

Which celebrity’s hairstyle do you admire?

Widdershins

Nobody famous. I'd meet people I know or knew and spend time with them again. There's never enough

The old Rachel hairstyle on Friends.

Same question?

Were you happy with the cards 2019 dealt to you?

RMAOK

2019 wasn't the worst year tbf.

How was this decade for you?

Bad..

You?

RMAOK

Not great tbh. I won't look back on it too fondly (except 2017) tbh

Do you think nostalgia is a good or a bad thing?

As a genuine human emotion, good..as a means of selling cheap sentimentality, bad..

What would you like to have happen in 2020?

RMAOK

Meet someone new (hopefully)

You?

Upforthematch

2020 - keep things in perspective - I'm always forgetting the important things.

If you had a cold what would you take to feel better?

Yeah, same as that really.. Hope you do..

I actually love Lemsip..

Has the internet led to a more atomized society?

Widdershins

Edit: elderberry syrup for a cold. E.g.. Sambuccol.

A decade of adventures, highs and lows and I don't want to live heart in mouth in future. For 2020 I'm aiming to live a good wholesome family oriented life and stay out of trouble.

Have you had enough adventure for one lifetime yet?

honeybear

No ... need more adventure as I’m a creature of habit and need a shock to the system every now and again!

How many baubles approximately are there on your Christmas tree?

Widdershins

I don't have one up yet :O there'd be about 30-40. Smallish living tree.

Do you use the flashing tree light sequences?

Purple Mountain

No that's give me a headache

Are you a savvy bargain hunter?

RMAOK

I do like a bargain, alright

Are you frugal with money?
