    Used it on a different site many years ago and it stuck! It originally came from the joke about Robinson Crusoe being the only one able to get everything done by Friday. There's also a pretty decent film called His Girl Friday!

    hellooooooooo!

    if you were in my hand bag would you be easy to find like my hair brush or would you be like a 5 cent coin hiding under a load of rubbish?

    I had a housemate who was a lurker and wanted to ask a question so signed up. Somehow haven't managed to escape! :rolleyes:
    koth wrote: »

    Bridesmaids (about 6 hours ago) and it was BRILLIANT!!! Really enjoyed it!
    koth wrote: »
    3. alcoholic drink of choice?

    White wine, tia maria (mixed with oj) or Captain Morgan (with lime and water)
    koth wrote: »

    Probably Heidi... Unless we count Nemi as a book!
    koth wrote: »
    5. do you keep up on politics/ current affairs?

    I try to. Part of my degree was politics. Sometimes though with work I just want to switch off when I come home! I get a lot of the news via twitter which is really handy but 140 characters means you don't get too deep into it - just the basic facts/views.
    koth wrote: »

    Cold Case - I have loads of them recorded on Sky+ and am watching them from the beginning at the moment as they were showing from Series 1 on universal.

    • What's your favourite song to dance to?

    I don't think I have a favourite... It depends on the mood and the company!
    • Do your friends dance? Cos if they don't dance they're no friends of mine

    Some do, some don't! And some of the 'don't's would be mutual friends so you may want to inform them of your views! :p
    • Will you join me in a rendition of Kate Bush's interpretive dance to Wuthering Heights sometime?

    Only if it is in the privacy of my sitting room and many many cocktails have been consumed... Even then there are no guarantees!

    If you want to do it elsewhere though I shall gladly hold your drink!
    • Do you agree that Van Damme, in his extra tight pants, is godlike?

    Sure, anything for a quiet life! :cool:
    • Will we always be together in electric dreams?

    Yup Goody Two Shoes, we will indeed!!

    Yes, a few times! And I used to have the soundtrack too. It's been a good few years though so must watch it again.
    lil'bug wrote: »

    Probably somewhere between the two... I can hide and you can go ages without seeing me but if you really need me I'm there.
    lil'bug wrote: »

    For a holiday? Probably Boston or Adelaide. Other than that I am actually perfectly content where I am and don't want to go anywhere... :D

    I HATE bananas and I LOVE pyjamas so no contest there!! :p

    I left Rob Lowe out of my list up there. Would you like Rob to saxamaphone at you a la St Elmos fire?

    Well given that subtle innuendo follows I guess they don't post in the Noc forum! Nothing subtle about innuendo here! ;)

    I'm going to guess they knit!

    Pay off debts, buy new (to me) car and probably buy a house.

    josh_duhamel.jpg

    Your favourite sauce is?
    Your favourite drink is?
    Your favourite author is?
    When putting on socks, does the left or right one go on first?
    What’s your most comfortable sitting position?

    Do you know I adore you?
    If you have to choose between a panda and a koala, what would you go for?
    Do you have a certain cup or mug that just always has the best cup of tea in it?
    I’ll think of more...more....MORE :D

    Savoury would be hot sauce (e.g. Franks)
    Sweet would be caramel
    Zwillinge wrote: »

    Non-alcoholic would be tonic water and lime... Or Iced tea... :D

    Zwillinge wrote: »

    Honestly couldn't pick a favourite... Charlotte Bronte would feature in there... Or Ross O'Carroll Kelly*! :p

    Right probably more often than left...
    Zwillinge wrote: »

    Usually with my legs curled up under me... No wonder my knee is starting to complain!
    Zwillinge wrote: »

    Probably sundress over leggings with either a cardi over it or 3/4 length sleeved top under it...
    Zwillinge wrote: »

    Erm... :o
    Zwillinge wrote: »

    I can't choose!! :eek: Pandas are almost extinct and so lovely and I have always wanted to see one in RL... But I actually did get to hold a Koala before and they are also quiet cute! :)

    If it's a black and white panda then I would be frightfully conflicted... If it's a red panda I'd probably choose the koala...
    Zwillinge wrote: »

    No.

    (Cos I only drink tea about twice a year!)

    Nope, I moved out of my parents at 19 and left any that hadn't been dumped there... Not sure if my parents still have them or if not, what became of them!

    Why have prunes such an odd colour to them?
    What kind of car do you own? (If any)
    Why do dogs always píss all over the place to mark their territory?
    Should humans also píss all over to mark their territory as well?
    Which is worse, a weirdo who hangs around where children are playing or a violent drug dealer who is trying to sell smack on a street corner? Also why did you choose the answer you gave?

    Do you own or have you ever borrowed a magic invisibility cloak?

    Childhood hero?

    Boldest thing you ever did?

    Favourite lyrics from a song?

    What toppings would one find on your fave pizza?

    When two tribes go to war, go to war, go to war.... does anybody ever reeeeally win?

    You're walking down a street. Someone you really dislike is walking down towards you.... what do you do?

    Since you've been an adult, has anybody blown into your bellybutton in a comical fashion?

    Favourite Queen song?

    If you had to move to a different country, which one would you go for?

    When you say "FLAME ON!" do you burst into flames?

    What's your guilty pleasure when you find yourself home alone for a weekend?

    Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?

    Violent drug dealer... There's a higher chance of him being joined by others and bringing more issues to the area. Also, people are more willing to approach a lone person so whatever issues are going on there may be easier to address in the long run.

    2mins 17 seconds...

    And the hardest part of living

    Because I know I'm good for something
    I just haven't found it yet
    But I need it

    Jalepenos, ham, bacon, chicken (plain and tandoori) and pepperoni :D

    So hard to choose... I've a few friends and family members who have passed away that I would love to get one last night with so that's a possibility.

    Other than that... Dara O'Briain, Mark Ruffalo, Jack Black, Gok Wan and Alan Carr... (I think! It'll change tomorrow!!)

    I get really paranoid about milk going off as I drink it so rarely that I would recommend having a Cosmo or Mojito instead...

    Have you ever stalked your first/childhood crush on Facebook? If not, will you now? :D

    no, he's not on Facebook! :cool: I don't remember the surname of my first crush... I have checked for my first boyfriend but he's not on there... :o

    can you cheeer me up?

    It would be easier if I knew why you needed cheering up...

    Try these solutions:

    1) Have a hug *hugs*

    2) Watch this video:

    or 3) Have a seat
