    Knives, forks, tablespoons, teaspoons and then 2 sections for everything else.

    Do you have daily use cutlery and separate cutlery for special occasions?


  • Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yes, and the last time the special cutlery was used was about 30 years ago. It just sits in its drawer since that era.

    What is the shortest lived toy you owned before it broken.

    Slightly odd that I was thinking of this only the other day.

    I went over to the local shop to get a football. Once of those crappy plastic ones that would break your foot on a cold day. I think it cost about 2/3 pounds (this is late 80's). Brought it home and I'd say within 30 minutes it had a thorn in it and was punctured. I walked all the way back and demanded another which I eventually got but that one didn't last long either.

    Do you ever hear the word whippersnapper used anymore?

    God, I was called that many times in my life, but thinking about it its one of those phrases that has been forgotten it seems. Haven't heard it in a long time.

    What do you think the standard rate of VAT should be?

    Ours is high, 23%, probably around 20% would be better, but the state probably needs the extra cash.

    Have you ever been in an accident where someone was killed?
