Widdershins

Playtime for me.

Do you work weekends?

Yeah, weekend night shifts this weekend..

Will you socialise much over the Christmas?

Widdershins

I'll see a handful of people mainly close friends I'd normally see anyway. No pub plans.

Do night shifts interfere with your circadian rhythm much? Sleep pattern messed up?

Ever buy something from a traveller selling door to door?

Yeah, the night shifts suck..at times you don't know whether you're coming or going..

I bought a shítty video camera off a tinker in a garage car park once..never door to door though I think..

Would you say you're obsessive?

Widdershins

Eh, no. About anything in particular?! Not many people would answer that with a yes ...

Do you think you can choose to fall in love with a particular person?

Well, no..do you get obsessive about things if you get into them..

Can you choose to fall in love?.. I don't know.. probably not?.. can you?.. I'm probably not the person to ask.. My heart's been broken to the point where I think I voided the warranty..

Widdershins

Oh well then yes I'm very enthusiastic about my interests...


There was an experiment involving a male and female test subject and 30 questions devised to create intimacy, plus a protracted period of eye gazing. Supposedly it worked

Would you say everyone's had their heart broken?

No..

Do you think some people are just destined to be unhappy?

Widdershins

I like to think not but some people do have very hard lives. Not sure where I stand on predestination.

honeybear

Ordered a vegetarian quiche yesterday and there was ham in it (foreign to me)

Ever been to Gougane Barra?

Widdershins

No but I should...that little church beside the water looks nice.

Favourite Irish places to visit?

honeybear

Always love going to Kerry

Do you like the Kerry accent?

Widdershins

I've always had a soft spot for it. Kerry accents and Kerry itself.

If you speak Irish are you as comfortable and fluent when speaking it, as you are when speaking English?

Tammy!

Sometimes. Other days I give less so it evens out.

If you were assigned to be a spy and infiltrated an organization or group whatever, for years, do you think you'd find it hard to stick to your original motive after living from the others perspective?

honeybear

Tbh, I like to give my all in everything I do (except clothes shopping)
Edit: interesting question Tammy! From watching too much Homeland, I could see myself being turned
What Is your favourite Christmas carol?

Tammy!

What Is your favourite Christmas carol?

Well clothes shopping is a bit different than being sent out as a spy but I think you were answering the previous question

A song by The Band called Christmas Must Be Tonight but I don't think you'd get many carolers singing it.

Is door to door caroling gone now?

No, still active here. Piss poor standard though.

Around three weeks ago.

How do you like your rashers cooked?

RMAOK

Grilled

Favourite pizza toppings?

Tammy!

Favourite pizza toppings?

If I'm choosing the toppings, I always pick pepperoni, peppers, onions and pineapple.

I mean, for rashers..well done or what? I like them practically cremated. I hate when you get a breakfast at a hotel or b&b, whatever way they cooked them it's like they're boiled do you not think that?

Tammy I totally agree. Daycent cooked rashers dont have that pale pasty look about them.

What is the most underrated fun holiday activity in ireland?

honeybear

I’m thinking back to my childhood - used to love “going on holidays” to our cousins. I come from a very big family and these “holidays” usually coincided with my Mum having a new baby. The thing is, our cousins might only have been 5 miles up the road! Smiling Bumbóg thinking about those days!

Do you like going camping?

Widdershins

I do but I have to have certain things to make it nicer. I could rough it but under canvas not plastic as it makes me asthmatic. Tbh I prefer glamping or my favourite, a gypsy caravan.

Did you use a colour scheme for your tree decorations?
