Good question, sane again...

jimbobaloobob

I've never bought a thing on amazon.

Do you think this will be the longest summer you've had since being a child?

Strangest thing you bought?

A metal ring - it's for drawing a line on a golf ball

Do you obsess over things or are you able to let go?

Purple Mountain

Strangest thing I bought hmmmm.. I do yoga and have a keen interest in its origins. I bought a book online on it and a lot of it has ancient Sanskrit text. To me it's all part of the culture but I'd imagine someone with no interest would find it unusual.

Definitely the longest summer, ever. I mean primary schools aren't even technically on holiday yet.
I'd imagine if you murdered your child this summer, there might be mitigated circumstances to be argued.

If you had a big problem tomorrow, who would your first call be to for help?

antgal23

What type of problem are you taking about?

Purple Mountain

Say you got caught stealing 10k in a fraud scam...

I'd be on a boat to the Aran Islands..Wouldn't call anyone..

Have you had anything major stolen off you as an adult?

Trigger Happy

My heart.

Are you ok with needles and injections?

Used to be horrifically phobic but used some mind tricks to get over it and now I give too fingers to my old phobia by periodically giving blood. Externally it looks like I am just being a nice guy giving blood. Internally it is me doing a victory war dance and bigging up myself.

What has been the biggest tool for change in your life?

antgal23

Finding out who I am

Same qn

Upforthematch

Biggest tool for change? Honestly probably frustration. "I want to break free"

Are you any good at drawing or art? What's your best picture?

antgal23

Hotel room by Hopper

Would love to take up drawing!

Favorite piece of art?

jimbobaloobob

Currently like this guys work a lot.

Do you have any nice art in your house?

Purple Mountain

I'm not into art but I have some box frames of landscape pictures I took myself from different holidays hanging on my wall. The nicest is actually the cliffs on Achill Island with the Atlantic lapping it.

What's the hardest self truth you had to admit about yourself?

I’m terrible at accepting money from people even if it’s for work done by me.

Do you have a terrarium?

You just wanted someone to Google that, didn't you?!
No, they're creepy looking things imo.

PS.. If you're partial to decling money, there's this Michelin Star place I'm dying to go to...we'll go halves of course..

No one anymore.The ones I went on were either a prank or things got too freaky,heh.

Strangest date you were on?

Purple Mountain

A casual invite to a sports club night out with the view to being introduced to a guy who was in said club with someone I knew who thought maybe we'd be a match. Was barely introduced to him and he started talking about bringing me home introducing me to his mom.
I made my excuses and left the night out early.

Have you ever broken someone's heart?

Yeah, probably, maybe a couple of times..

Do you believe in karma?..

Never done one.

One time you disobeyed your parents?

antgal23

@ Major Bill

Washing hands entering shops

Of course I disobeyed my parents but can't remember when and why

Do you think your parents know you better before you know yourself? For example, career path, friend choices,

Upforthematch

We get on well so they know a good bit about me and we share common interests. They wouldn't have chosen my career path that's for sure.

How many cousins do you have and how many do you speak with on a monthly basis at least?

jimbobaloobob

In the region of 30-40 I think but not too sure.

Don’t speak to any monthly. Maybe yearly a few of them.

Is that considered to be a close family ?

antgal23

A close family to me is more my immediate family to which I'd be close enough but with a bit of distance

If I told you I dipped my biscuits I'm my tea or coffee would that turn you off dating me?

Trigger Happy

No, that would not put me off unless you were dipping mikados.

Tell me about your current, or last, pet?

I hope we continue to practice good hand hygiene, that would reduce some bugs and colds


Do anything nice today?

Got a parcel in the post!
