Thanks everyone for humouring me and playing the game. Normal services resume tomorrow, but in the meantime...here are my answers;

Ok. Tell us..Three things you used to be certain of but aren't anymore.
My three are clichéd and I think these are more a symptom of my current state of cynicism rather that any hard lessons that I have learned… but I used to be certain that there’s someone for everyone, that good things come to those who wait, and that bad people get their comeuppance…but I’m not so sure anymore.

Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime, you are near?
Errrm, I think it’s because they long to be close to me.

On average, how many times do you use the word "flange" in one week?
0-10 - Mildly Moderate
10-20 - That's fine
20- 30- Hang on..
30-40- Excessive
40+ - Stop right there potty mouth
I don’t tend to use it at all…so I guess I’m mildly moderate.

..Blimey, these are early posts..Are you up at this time usually?
Bon Bon dear, I’m an insomniac, and having suffered a particularly bad patch just before Crimbo, I have now realised that the best way for me to get a decent night’s kip (even if it’s only 4/5 hours) is to knacker myself out totally. So, yes I am usually up at that time. I read, write, blog and potter until about 2am most mornings and then I finally clamber into my marshmallow duvet and have a kip. Lovely.

How soon is now
Very soon Bon Bon, Very.

No ,seriously, which position....did you start in your job?
PA to the Marketing Director – oooh, get me!

Where's Summer B?
*Proceeds to stop naming song titles this instant*
That’s hard Bon Bon, see, I tried to tell ya, tried to tell ya took a little bit too long and now your phone is disconnected and your shit's out on the lawn

Flittermoose
A bit predictable but still....
Most embarrassing moment ever?
Hmmm, I can’t really think of anything horribly embarrassing Flittermoose, but I am a klutz and am always falling over spectactularly. I did a particularly spectacular one in Jerusalem (a bar off Oxford St) while walking to get my round in. I ended up are over tits at a gorgeous bloke's feet.

Boy
Who would you say you are in Love with right now?
Sadly Boy, no one.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
None. Because I would chuck the pesky wood chuck into the wood.

Why?
Because I said so

Petite Anglaise
What is the most precious thing you own, and why?
My baby blanket. It is a khasto (a traditional nepali shawl) that my Ma used (the same dear one) for my two older brothers and me, and I still have it. Knackered, ripped and totally loved. And precious because it’s comforting and a reminder of all three of our childhoods.

A Desert Island or a Buzzing metropolis?
This is a toughy Legs. I love the seaside, always want to live near it, but I’m not much good at being on my own so….desert island would be a little lonesome. Could I have a buzzing seaside metropolis?

The Mighty Crumb
swallow?
....or....another type of migratory bird?
Blue throated warbler ;-) Is that what you meant?

Neil
Favourite day ever?
Cripes, this is a toughie too Neil…but with careful consideration one day sticks out in my mind right nowbecause of the simplicity and the unexpectedness of it all…a few years ago, my housemates and I decided to combine my birthday and a BBQ house party. My boyfriend at the time was unable to make it, he was meant to be abroad. It was a beautifully sunny day and we were getting the place ready and he phoned me on my mobile to wish me a Happy Birthday. We were nattering away on the phone when I turned around to see him walking towards me with a bottle of champagne in his hand and a massive grin on his face. The sappy bastard had managed to keep the whole thing a secret for weeks!

Brom man
Your 3 fave thongs?

Trainers - 2 pairs
One day I hope to have a room full !

Unlucky
Why do birds always disappear, every time I am near?
Errm, cos you smell?!
Please forgive me, I jest... ;-)

Bubs
Why do birds?
Errrm, because everyone should experience girl on girl?

Why doesn't Nigel Harman love me?
Hmmm? Why?
Because he loves me of course. Sorry sister. You win some, you lose some.

JonnyB
What's it all about then?

Well, okay, I’ll explain about the man’s pee pee and the woman’s butterfly but it may take some time so I’ll have to mail you.
