ang_rosin1. Name 5 uses for a banana other than eating.
2. What's worse: People who think the Harry Potter books are the greatest pieces of literatur of all time or people who think they can decide what others should be allowed to read?
3. Who win in a fight between Kryten and Marvin (the paranoid android)?
4. What's the funniest thing that's happened at Brownies?
5. Slim or curvy?
Plus questions from Bri via email.
What is your fondest memory?
Where is the strangest place you have ever slept?
If you could only live in one place for the rest of your life and never
leave where would it be?
If you were an animal what would you be?
How many computer programming languages do you know and which is your
favorite?
1. Name 5 uses for a banana other than eating.
Why would I want to do anything other than eat them! Okay... floatation device for very small people, ineffective doorstop, fake vomit for grossing out friends, conversation piece, stand-in telephone receiver in emergency prop situations
2. What's worse: People who think the Harry Potter books are the greatest pieces of literature of all time or people who think they can decide what others should be allowed to read?
I love the Harry Potter books but I wouldn't call them great literature. I agree with whoever said "Even bad books are books and therefore sacred" so I don't think anyone has the right to to tell other people what they read, write, watch or think.
3. Who win in a fight between Kryten and Marvin (the paranoid android)?
I can't imagine the situation where this would happen. Kryten, I think. He has a lot of anger to give.
4. What's the funniest thing that's happened at Brownies?
Oh a lot of funny stuff is comments by the kids or the adults making fools of themselves. Two things I remember that had me doubled over: we ran a fancy-dress competition and one of the girls padded out her chest and bum and came as me, and when we visited the aquarium a ray jumped out of the water in front of three of the grils and scared them to tears. I spent a lot of time with my face hidden and my shoulders shaking that day.
5. Slim or curvy?
Difficult. Slim when one is naturally slim looks good. Curvy when naturally curvy looks equally good. Anyone who tries to be the shape that nature didn't intend looks awful. I'd rather someone was fatter than they should be than thinner.
Brian's questions...
What is your fondest memory?
Meeting you, of course!
Seriously, though. I remember getting my 'A' level results and thinking "This is it, life starts here." I look back to that day and we all had a great time. I was madly in love and my future seemed planned. It was a good time :)
Where is the strangest place you have ever slept?
*Looks at you sternly*
Dover Ferry Terminal, actually.
If you could only live in one place for the rest of your life and never
leave where would it be?
Here. Next question.
If you were an animal what would you be?
I would be a lemming and lead the revolution. Comrades! You don't HAVE to jump.
How many computer programming languages do you know and which is your
favorite?
*Looks at you even more sternly*
I am, as you are fully aware, only formally qualified in Java. I know a functional amount of Perl and Python. I can understand and use other people's JavaScript and VBScript as well as code HTML but I'm not convinced they count. I've recently been forced to learn VBA in order to produce 450 graphs on demand.
I like Perl. It makes sense to me in ways that Java never could.
