From childhood, a lot of soot falling down the chimney just before bed. Of course I thought Santa Clause was above, on the roof, biding time until I went to sleep.

Yours?

My nana singing old Christmas songs in the kitchen, it was such a lovely moment

It will sound strange but, my bed. It was hand made for me and there's a carved message to me on inside of the mattress frame. There's another message at the back of a mirror made at the same time.
I have some found natural objects given to me that mean an awful lot to me too.

Are you happy by nature or would you choose a different word?

RMAOK · 14-10-2019 12:17pm

Happy enough, I guess

Would you make a good or bad poker player? And why?

Maybe a good one because I'm very good at reading people's faces. And now I have Kenny Rogers "The gambler" stuck in my ear.

Do you ever cycle rather than drive?

RMAOK · 14-10-2019 1:07pm

No. I always drive - hate cycling tbh

Are you left or right handed?

Yes, proper moonshine. Mixed with warm water and a little sugar.

What was your first ever pet?

honeybear · 14-10-2019 10:04pm

A family pet sheepdog. He was beautiful.

Did you ever have to stand at a gap on a farm?

Sephiroth_dude · 14-10-2019 10:05pm

No

What does that entail?

honeybear · 14-10-2019 10:16pm

It was a very boring “job” Seph! Our farm wouldn’t have had the best fencing when I was growing up and there were plenty of gaps in ditches (aforementioned sheepdog, while beautiful wasn’t living up to his name). Cue, a gaggle of us kids having to fill the gaps when animals were being moved from one field to another. I’d say I spent a Summer of my childhood standing in a gap.

Do you own a pair of wellingtons?

Sephiroth_dude · 14-10-2019 10:18pm

No

Can I borrow yours?

honeybear · 14-10-2019 10:54pm

No problem (I’ve 3 pairs!)

Visitors here atm. How do I politely send them on their way?

I'm up now. My oh gets up for work at half 6 so I usually make her breakfast while she's getting ready if I'm not at work myself.

Have you been sick lately?

If I gave you a tin whistle would you be able to get a tune out of it after a bit of trying?

Not a chance tbh

Would you consider yourself left wing or right wing wrt your political viewpoint?

Trigger Happy · 15-10-2019 1:25pm

I would be right in some respects and left in others. For example - We need a caring society that looks after those who need a helping hand when they need a helping hand. But we don’t need a social welfare system that can be abused and offers a viable way of life to some.

When did you last wear fancy dress?

RMAOK · 15-10-2019 1:54pm

Years ago when I was a young lad.
