I wouldn't mind it really, it's no big thing surely.

What made you laugh today?

The panic on the Coronavirus thread.

Why do a lot of Irish people get aroused by storm warnings?

No. I haven't even thought about it.
Will you go out on St Patrick's Day?

Leg End Reject

No, work the next day ruins it.

Favourite bank holiday?

The Princess Bride

For all the wrong reasons, St Patrick's day, I am not a fan of parades, wearing green makes me look dead, so I usually work it and makes loads of money, so win win for me!

Have you any holidays or weekends away planned for the near future?

Ruby Ring

Weekend away in Manchester in April

Last time you blew up balloons?

The Princess Bride

In the last decade probably.

Do you get manicures or pedicures?

Neither. I bite my nails. Fingernails and toenails! joking of course!

Ever been to a costume party? If so who or what did you dress up as.

Widdershins

Just a dress and eye mask. I get away with witching it up.a bit at Halloween parties, as I'm halfway there already when on a slightly goth fashion kick.

Favourite pair of shoes?

Trigger Happy

My Van's.

Oldest piece of clothing that you have and use?

Purple Mountain

A 10 year old red coat that comes out every winter.

Are you good to remember other's birthdays?

Widdershins

I have a few original Victorian corsets, high necked blouses etc. An antique fox fur stole (bit like a scarf).
A few things from the 70s I think...inc. a cardi with a big sun and moon on it. I have a clothes addiction.

I am good at birthdays...I even think, for example, "its x's birthday" despite not being in touch with x or them not being around anymore.

Do you do anything specialto mark anyone's birthday, apart from giving a gift to them?

Purple Mountain

I'm not a birthday person, even for my own.

At work polishing saddles and bridles.

Strangest thing you ever seen?

Widdershins

An awful lot. The easist to describe here: a huge, bigger than a saucer, large hand span sized black hairy spider in a secondhand van that had been a grocers van in the past. I guess he escaped the pesticides they spray on bananas for export. You'd have to have seen it to believe it. He was chilling out on the sill of the driver's window so I passed a tube of Nivea to tbe driver who gave him a little nudge and off he went. We scrambled to watch him exit the van and he was so big you could easily see him galloping down the road.

Would have to be my time in Al Basrah.Most main streets had a central culvert where all the sewage flowed. So you had food vendors on both sides, and sewage running down the main streets. I always thought it was messed up.

Ever go horseback riding?

The Princess Bride

Never, and it's something I don't think I'll ever do either.

Wildest thing you've ever done?

I think you’re safe enough. Chocolate for the cough and water for the headache.

Is your internet and or phone signal in a jocker after the storm yesterday?

Widdershins

Sorry, it was in Clare
I googled and the Goliath Birdeater looked like the stowaway spider in the van, which was about 8 years ago. They live for about 15 years so he's probably decrepit and slow now, at least

Do you prefer online shopping or physically going to the shops?

Probably online..

Would you say you're a people person?

I am not googling that!!!

My internet is very slow today but it is working!

I like online shopping so I don't have to interact with my fellow humans! But I prefer going to the shops because there's just too much choice online and I get frustrated.

Would you drink mulled wine at Christmas?
