Brit Quiz

[hils]

Nicked this from bogwitch


1. When was the last time you ate a pasty?

Oh, ages ago. I don't actually like them that much. I'd rather have a sausage roll.

2. Did the Moomins freak you out as a kid?

Nope. Me and flickums both loved them

3. Got any A-Levels?

Unfortunately my A-Levels was the time when I discovered I couldn't pass exams by just turning up to them. I just scraped a pass in English Lit, did pretty well in English Language (but that was mostly due to a kickass piece of coursework) and failed Sociology

4. What's your favourite pub?

The Masons. Does the best food I've ever had in a pub. Ever.

5. What's your favourite pub grub?

Pie and veg. It's a classic.

6. How about curry, do you like it and what's your fave?

Yes! Chicken Korma with Peshwari Naan and Pilo Rice.

7. Which national saints days do you celebrate?

I'd be more inclined to celebrate if they were bank holidays. Especially since I have English, Welsh and Irish in me.

8. It's Christmas day. Morecambe and Wise or the Queen's Speech?

Bah! I'm usually asleep by then, or watching one of my many new DVDs

9. You are having a dinner guest over. You find out it's a SUN journalist, what do you do?

Treat them like anyone else, unless they piss me off somehow.

10. What did you get up to last Guy Fawkes night?

I went to aerobics but I watched the fireworks while I was on the bus. It's also difficult to do some meditation as part of the cool-down when it sounds like The Blitz outside.

I miss my Randy Giles icon.

Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks.

Eek! This orange is a bit violent!

Same here for #3.

The answer to #9 is very familiar.

Ack! Is it really bad? It's so hard to tell how it's going to look on other peoples computers

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

It's okay, just a bit of a shock!

I bought a new monitor on Friday and everything looks incredibly bright (it's made all my icons look grainy too! Woe!)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Oh no! :(

Still, shiny new monitor = good

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's all sexy and shiny and widescreen and lickable.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yum!

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd understand.

Yes, I just drooled over my laptop. LOL!

Would you recommend it? I fancy a nice big monitor for my desktop PC

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Depends on whether you want all your graphics to suddenly look crap! I suppose that says something about the clarity!

I suppose so, it's hard to say because there's something iffy going on with my graphics card and compared to my 24" screen at work it doesn't look very big! However I think it's plenty big enough for our purposes.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'm just thinking it would be nice to have a big screen to watch all my TV shows on.

Not any time soon though. Other things I need first

[whatiusedtobe.livejournal.com]

i laughed so hard at the Randy Giles comment. :) I love that!

Me too! Tabula Rasa is still one of my favourite episodes

[multiclassgeek.livejournal.com]

Tabula Rasa is, indeed, one of the best Buffy eps ever (in fact, it's one of the best eps of anything, ever).

Sadly, it never got the credit it deserved, because when it aired, people were too busy squee-ing about the all-encompassing wonderfulness of the previous episode (a certain Musical Interlude, which is still probably my favourite 50 minutes of TV ever)

[hils.livejournal.com]

I actually think I prefer Tabula Rasa to Once More With Feeling
