43. Dreamed something really crazy and then it happened the next day?
Nope. Like you, my dreams are typically far too crazy for the real world. Although, sometimes I dream about what I want for breakfast, then I wake up and eat what I dreamed about. Does that count?
43. op. cit.
My girlfriend sometimes has (my sister too). She (BH) dreamed her father paying the ticket :)
38. Been to Florida: No
re No.15 I used to live 15 minutes walk from Victoria Park in Antill Road E3 you know it?
No. 26 No, not sure if I believe in a life-life either.
Viking - aah, breakfast. The only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning...
Shyha - what ticket? Not the winning lottery ticket?
The Curve - cryptic. Don't you like Florida? I'd like to visit Hemingway's house. And Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, of course.
Realdoc, we would've been neighbours, it's a mere hop skip and a jump from here. Antill Road is very nice...
Beyond Black is all about a medium, funnily enough. It is intriguing. I'd like to think we could be reincarnated, and I'd like to come back as a cat. Eat, sleep, eat, sleep, shag, eat, sleep - be fussed over and looked after, and supremely disdainful with no need to return affection if I didn't feel like it.
Unfortunately no :) I have problem with that word (ticket) in English because it's meaning is too wide. What I mean is a ticket in a sense of financial punishment for riding a bus without the valid ticket (without paying a ride). :) Ufffff :D
It's an excellent meme, but it doesn't half go on.
Nice answers - I love the childrens' names.
81. I sang a bit in the shower today, ended with Kate Bush's "WOW". Big mistake, almost bust my stitches and felt a bit dizzy afterwards!
43 Cognitive dreaming. Yes, couple of times.
Good to hear I'm not the only one having a Fleetwood Mac attack.
28. Current favourite word/saying:
Futtock.
A fine old English word.
Say it with me: fut-tock.
There. Isn't that satisfying?
Shyha, aha. We call it a 'fine'.
Billy - I like them, but they might get teased at school.
Señor T - bust my stitches - I feel all faint.
Tattiehead,you mean, you dream about things that actually happen?
Del, if you like them, I can breathe a sigh of relief and regain my groovy points.
Jack - a splendid word, sounding like a cross between fossick and buttock. (Admit it now, did you make it up?)
Oh my goodness - that whole meme is my idea of hell - but it's tempting to have a go - I get bored really easily and start getting all arsey with my replies though. Top marks for doing that!
Glad you are liking the poohcasts - just lost the whole of no.7 yesterday which rather put me off - am slightly less cross today but not much!!
I did better than answer one question (which I failed to do with my last comment), I done answered the whole freaking shebang over at my place.
And using me as a barometer of grooviness is a very grave error, I fear.
Rockmother, memes are good when you're very low on inspiration and v busy at work.
I sympathise. You are very calm considering.
Del, bravo! Good answers! Your podcast is groovy. Especially Speedy Gonzales.
Ta. I should do another one sometime really. Podcast, not quiz. Although I might do another quiz as well. Anyway...
Sorry Annie, couldn't pick one question so I answered them all, elsewhere.
28. Current favourite word/saying:
Gugelhupf. It's an Austrian cake.
I took your memememememe and put in on mymymy myspace.
QE, Adrian, rah! will come and read them pronto.
I did not!
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/futtock
:D
And Adrian, I'd comment, but I'd have to join MySpace.
Jack, so I see... How many times I've needed a handy word to indicate one of the curved timbers that forms a rib in the frame of a ship, and now I have one!
