Question game

[ThatReallyHurt]

"To Rule the Waves" by Arthur Herman. It's about the Royal Navy and its role in building the British Empire. Pretty good book.

It's also kind of cool, because I've been playing the "Pirates" PC game, and was getting beat up by two of the pirates that I just read about in the book.

Do you read a lot?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Either a platypus, or those little tiny things that can go without water for years by turning themselves "off".

What's the least interesting creature in the animal kingdom?

[wildmoppet]

Personally, I don't think there is one. I mean, even worms can be interesting if you chop them in half in the right place, they can grow back!

What do you think is the most interesting animal in the animal kingdom?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Hands down, humans. They can be really smart or really, really dumb. Don't see it to as great an extent in other species.

Would you ever buy a fur coat?

[Zilverzmurfen]

Would you ever buy a fur coat?

No.
I don't resent (is this the right choice of word?) people who do - as long as you eat the animal whose fur you make coats out of! - but in my opinion there are other materials who will keep me warm.

What model is your mobile phone (if you have one)?

[Asphalt]

Current model is: Sony Ericsson K700i

and very nice it is too

Do dogs explode if they don't bark?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Nope, just drool a lot.

Do you have a pair of slippers?

[wildmoppet]

Yes. They are flourescent with a giant pink flower on top of large, almost platformed slippers.

And no, i didn't buy them myself. My mum did, thinking they were a bargain at a pound.

(needless to say, i don't wear them in front of anyone i know...)

What are the weirdest shoes you have ever seen?

[Asphalt]

Those flippin Banana boots Billy Connoly wore... jeeez


what time is it in Sweden?

[Zilverzmurfen]

What are the weirdest shoes you have ever seen?

He he he...I once saw a pair of really, really high heeled (think 1970's) 'platform' shoes with an aquarium in the heel!

Yes people - I kid you not!!!

Do you play an instrument?

[Zilverzmurfen]

what time is it in Sweden?

(Ooops too late...)

It's 23.14 over here (and I should go to bed!)

Ok: Do you play an instrument?

[wildmoppet]

Yup, lots: saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone),
Piano and
Singing.

I have had a go at playing the flute as well, though i'm not too good at that yet.

What's your favourate instrument?

[Zilverzmurfen]

What's your favourate instrument?

(Electric) bass. It's my New Years resolution to learn how to play one.

How many countries have you visited?

[Asphalt]

5. And that includes Wales...6 if you count Cornwall


why is my new epee 5mm shorter than my others?

[wildmoppet]

Probably for the same reason my newest epee seems to have a 'waist' (a fat bit about 3/4 of the way down it, just suddenly a bulge, then it gets thin again!)

Incidently. Why does my epee have a waist?

[ThatReallyHurt]

Because it's been eating well and getting lots of exercise.

Do you like what the air smells like just after a heavy rain?

[Soldier]

Oh yes.

Did you know there's actually a term for that smell?

[mrbiggs]

Nope.

Why is my friend being a dick? I'm just asking him why he thinks Napolean Dynamite is funny...

[ThatReallyHurt]

Maybe he's thinking of a little fellow with a fancy hat dancing hard to some disco music...

Ever wonder why storm sewers always overflow during a storm?

[KShan5[PrFC]]

Nope....never seen it happen.

Why do I kick butt in the second half of all my DEs but it takes me half the bout to wake up. Can't I just fence well from the start?
