... to the next person to get them know you more, rather than single threads.
So as a starter:
Poster A: What’s your favourite Bond film?
Poster B: Goldfinger Poster B: What’s your favourite holiday destination?
Poster C: Barry Island Poster C: Do you own a cat or dog?
It just needs a follow up question from your answer.
Do shout if you’re not sure.

No. But I would very much like them - both, ideally! One day.
Where in the world would you most like to live, if distance to family/jobs were not a constraint?

Same here, would love a dog or cat but out too much of the day and away weekends - so really not fair.
I like here, though not right now as it’s chucking it down with rain and slightly envious of your sun - maybe in later life I can be a swallow and switch between the two. If it wasn’t so expensive I would happily live in Sweden or Denmark.
Q: What has been your best holiday so far?

A trip to the Black Forest in Germany. I saw the world's largest cuckoo clock!

Long time I went into a Greggs - do you they still do those sausage bean and cheese melts? One of those and a jam doughnut.
Q: When was the last time you watched a film you thought was so horrifically bad, and turned off/stomped out the cinema? What was that film? Lets name and shame.

I've never left a film early. Though I did fall asleep during The Phantom Menace. Films at home tend to be a background thing unless I'm watching with someone else so it's unlikely I'd choose to watch something particularly bad. There have been several occasions when they've been watching something and I decided halfway through to find something better to occupy my time with.
Q: Have you ever been on television?

Sleep in, resign my job, and order a Chinese takeaway to my bed at eleven in the morning. And buy a penguin.
Favourite pizza topping, and favourite European city?

Post by Panda on Aug 14, 2019 13:25:41 GMT 1
Chicken and mushroom, though I'm generally happy with anything that doesn't involve onions, pineapple or peppers (don't mind the last one, just not on a pizza).
I haven't done a huge amount of travelling but I enjoyed visiting Dublin. Basel was very nice too, especially as in Switzerland they use real cheese in McDonalds, rather than the plastic stuff you get over here.
Are you still friends with any exes?

Not long term - they have always ended up not speaking again for a reason - but short term yes I do.

Do you usually remember your dreams?

Post by greendemon on Aug 23, 2019 23:46:14 GMT 1
Sometimes. I used to have very vivid dreams and wrote them down in a journal. These days, though, the dreams I tend to remember are the ones I wish I didn't What's your favourite book and why?

A: The first instalment of Stieg Larssons “Girl” series “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” was utterly gripping for me. I bought it on 3 for a tenner as a filler on a Waterstones deal - and read it from cover to cover on a particularly bad holiday in Egypt in one day. The others were a bit meh - but the first one you almost felt sorry for her, but it’s one of those books where there really is no likeable characters, but the storyline is brilliant. A bit like Dr Foster.
Other mentions: Ayn Rand - Fountainhead, Albert Camus - The Plague (he provided stats as well as updates so ticked that nerdy box for me)
Q: Name a song that changed your life?

Tainted Love by Soft Cell
Was in the second year of senior school, a new romantic convert and pretty much into disco music
