    What brought you to Boards.ie? - honestly I have no recollection!
    Why did you come to Noc-land? - again I genuinely can't remember!
    Are you glad you did? - of course I am :)
    Whats your favourite colour? - toss up between blue and purple
    Can you cry under water? - I am sure you/I probably can
    Do fish ever get thirsty? - you'd have to ask a fish!
    Why dont birds fall off trees when they sleep? - anti-gravity?!?!
    Why is it called building when it is already built? - cos a man came up with the name?!!!!!! :D
    When they say dog food is new & improved, who tastes it? - dogs? I know some picky dogs
    If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches? - tis a play on words!
    Why does round pizza come in a square box? - cos everyone tried to fit the round peg in the square hole when they were kids!
    Why doesn't glue stick to its bottle? - cos glue only becomes sticky when it reaches the air, some chemical in the substance reacts with the air causing it to become sticky /nerd!

    Will be back for more later :D

    Thankya

    2. Whose cruel idea was it to have an s in the word lisp? - someone with a sick and twisted sense of humour!
    3. If Fed Ex and UPS combined...would they become Fed UP? - or UpEx!
    4.If someone owns a piece of land, do they own it all the way to the center of the Earth? - depends on the 'land' they own. I mean land could just be the grass and soil
    5.Why is it said that an alarm clock is going off when it is really going on? - but it is going off and on, in rapid sucession
    6.Why did Sally sell seashells on the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway? - enterprising young woman
    7.Why are both of Spongebob's parents round like sea sponges while he is square like a kitchen sponge? - are you SURE that's his real father?!!!!!!?
    8.If you were to fart and burp at the same time, wouldn't a vaccum create in your stomach? - I dunno, try it and get back to me :D
    9.Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized? - do they!?!
    10.Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white - you have obviously never bought fizzing bath bombs out of Lush. Purple bubbles ftw :D

    Have you ever been in hospital? - yup too many times
    How many tattoos have you got? - 8

    Has a song ever made you cry? (I can answer yes for this question, more than once in fact.. :o) - yep two songs have made me cry. The above song, because my mammy used to sing me to sleep with it every night and then I was watching the episode of The Royle Family where Nanna died and they played that when she died and everyone came to the hospital to see her. I was in tears. Then a song I CANNOT listen to or I cry is the PDiddy/Faith Evans I'll Be Missing you (the one they did for Biggy Smalls) cos that played on the radio THREE times the day I had to put my cat down, so now every time I hear it I burst into tears.
    What's your starsign? - Cancer
    What's your ringtone? - Different ringtones. For my mammy I have P!nk Here Comes The Weekend, for my best friend I have The Saturdays Gentlemen and my general ringtone is Rita Ora How We Do (Party)

    Tell us a weird fact about yourself. - a weird fact about me. that ye don't already know. My baby toenail grows straight up in the air, I dunno why and it is super strong and a bítch to cut!!!!

    Thanks Helen :D
