Around a handful

Would you like to be a child again??

I'd like to go back to when I left school and do a few things differently...what a wonderful thing hindsight is!

Who would you like to have lunch with today? (Or dinner tonight, if you've already eaten!)

You of course !

Who would you least want to have dinner with tonight .......?

Wayne Rooney...

Where would you take a guest for dinner?

I think of I were at home on the Wirral, to impress I think I would go to the Hillbark Hotel. (www.hillbarkhotel.co.uk) Its easily the most impressive building on the Wirral.
When the Open Golf was at Hoylake in 2006, Tiger Woods is reputed to have booked the whole place for several days for all his family friends and entourage !


With whom would you most like to share a sauna ??

That would be telling!

And you?

That would also be telling

Did you have a good weekend?

Yes we had a weekend away (free!) at the Appleby Manor Hotel in Cumbria ( I won it as a prize in a Best Westeren Hotels group monthly draw)

If you had a musical horse (a la the racing thread) what name would you give it ??

I have named several race horses as a friend used to own and train them. I would opt for Serenata I think, unless it was a boy! Then I might choose Ludwig.

Would you care to buy me a baroque bassoon for Christmas?

Heaven knows what they cost! And we havent even met, so the answer is NO !
But I love the sound of the bassoon.

Isnt there a medieval double reed called a Rackett, or is it just a single reed ?

i have absolutely no clue. perhaps i should have let somebody who knows answer...

but anyway:
(this takes no knowledge of medieval instruments to answer)
have you ever eaten so much chocolate that you have errr vomited?

To go back to an earlier post, yes, there is a double reed instrument called a rackett. It is a cross between a bassoon and a caterpillar. It is a long pipe folded up several times so that it fits into a small barrel and they almost always rot at the ends of the folded bits. And to Fsharp - where is your sense of festive spirit and good will to all rats that you won't even consider buying a baroque bassoon for me? Just plain mean I call it.
As to the question about chocolate, my capacity for eating the stuff is immense so I have never made myself ill by over-indulging. Fat yes, ill no.

Do you sing in the bathroom?

Yes!!!

Do you make New Years resolutions? (Probably been asked before...sorry!)

i used to, but then i never stuck to them so i stopped. much happier now

Have you ever locked yourself outside your house?

Yes I have...more than once.

How much jewellery are you wearing?

Earrings, and if you can class them as jewellery, I am also wearing a support the grenadier guards in Afghanistan, and a Help for heroes wristband. Usually would have a watch on but the battery has gone, and I feel lost without it

Do you wear a watch?

Yes I do.

Do you support a charity?

several

do you ?

Yes..several!

Do you prefer William Walton to Benjamin Britten..or neither?

I'm not a great Walton fan, so on the whole much prefer BB.

Which do you prefer - a symphony orchestra concert, or a small intimate recital ?

The symphony orchestra...

Do you buy a lottery ticket every/most weeks?

Never ever !

What's your biggest indulgence?

Music!!!!!

And yours?

Do you own an iPod?

No I don't..and earphones are too uncomfortable for my ear now

Would you place a bet on there being a white Christmas this year? (Or have you already??)

I wouldn't bet on it, and it's too cold here just now for snow apparently, so I don't know!

What's made you smile today?

A parcel I received that has taken about two hours to get all the tape off!!!

Are you tempted to open presents before Christmas?

Yes, although I have been good this year, and only opened a present I was asked to open while the person was there

How about you?

Usually I'm good..but I'm very tempted to open the one I have here now...

Have you ever given a gift you have received away to someone else as a gift?

*ahem* yes...but doesn't everyone....?

what's been your favourite hoilday broad so far (if you have had holidays abroad so far)?

my first trip to england over christmas 2001, when flying on an aeroplane for the first time felt as terrifying (and ultimately exciting) as going into space. that was the best holiday ever, for many millions of reasons that would begin to bore you.

what is the lowest note you can sing?

D below middle C usually. But I've got a cold and have just sung a B flat.

What's the longest phrase you 've ever sung to one breath ?

I used to be able to sing through the alphabet twice, slowly, up and down scales both major and minor. I could usually get as far as G in a third go but never longer than that.

Have you made your own pudding this Christmas?

We would have if we were having one.

Do you prefer a quiet Christmas or a big family get-together?

sort of depends what family... but it does get lonely with only four/three of us.

what do you do to get into a christmassy mood?

Bit late to answer that one now...watching one of the traditional Christmas films usually works though

Superheroes!
