This is another one of those posts that are more for honour’s sake than anything else. Otherwise April 2012 would be an unrecorded blank. Two deaths, one funeral and sundry other factors have made it a quite ridiculously busy month – though not so much that I couldn’t get 15,000 words of the WIP wrote.<\/p>\n
So for something to do, here’s one of those quizzes that were all the rage a few years ago. You hardly see them nowadays because probably everyone’s gone over to Facebook. Without further ado, pinched from far too many places on the internet to attribute the source:<\/p>\n

\nBlack, and we call them mobiles over here.<\/p>\n
\nTwo desktops, one very old laptop<\/p>\n
\nNot a clue<\/p>\n
\nRight<\/p>\n
\nMy adenoids. They adenoid me.<\/p>\n
\nA suitcase<\/p>\n
\nNo<\/p>\n
\nAs little warning as possible, thanks. Though plenty of warning to fellow road users or anyone else who might be around at the time would be nice.<\/p>\n
\nIf it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I would however like to be able to communicate the correct spelling of my surname by some form of telepathy whenever I say it out loud.<\/p>\n
\nDepends how badly I needed $1000 (right now the answer is not very).<\/p>\n
\nNone<\/p>\n
\nMore like they had a run-in with me – the time about 10 years ago when a drunk guy got into my car at some traffic lights late at night, plastered enough to be extremely polite but unable to remember where he lived and under the impression I was a taxi. Took him to Abingdon nick, which was deserted and locked; a phone at the door put me through to Wantage, where the work experience temp (I presume, from the quality of her advice) advised me just to turn him out again so he could get into someone else’s car, or possibly cause a fatal accident. Not impressed.<\/p>\n

\nMy monitor, would you believe?<\/p>\n
\nBathroom<\/p>\n
\nThe Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn<\/a><\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nAt work, yes. At home, rarely if I don’t recognise the number, never if the number starts 016something because it will be someone trying to persuade me I was mis-sold PPI. And if I answer anyway and it’s one of those calls where I’ve been autodialled and I have to wait five\u00a0seconds\u00a0before someone with a foreign accent notices and hesitantly asks to speak to Mr Jipis, I wait for that slight indrawn breath prior to their speaking and hang up.<\/p>\n
\nI’ll let you know when I wake up at a sensible hour and read it.<\/p>\n
\nIf it ain’t broke …<\/p>\n
\nWhat\/where is Sonic?<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nYes – I think I got through a few goldfish when I was younger<\/p>\n
\nSans Day Carol<\/a><\/p>\n
\nPeace on Earth and gender parity for convention panels.<\/p>\n
\nNot well<\/p>\n
\nNever tried, not starting.<\/p>\n
\nOh, excited<\/p>\n
\nI saved the one Bonusbarn sent the morning after our wedding … until the phone died.<\/p>\n
\nCrash, yes. Wreck, no.<\/p>\n

\nPCC, then sleep. Ideally this will be consecutive but I can’t promise.<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nNothing.<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nWill the WIP be a success?<\/p>\n
\nThe usual. Spammers. Mediocrity. Fundamentalists. Etc.<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nI expect by waking up and remembering it’s the New year.<\/p>\n
\nQE2 by Mike Oldfield.<\/p>\n
\nNo way.<\/p>\n
\nAs long as I could blend in and get back again<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nThat is far too raw a question.<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nNot yet<\/p>\n
\nAge is relative.<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
