1. My uncle once :
Climbed several stories of scaffolding on a building in Hong Kong when my grandma wasn't watching. I did not inherit this gene.
2. Never in my life :
Have I shaved my head. Dunno why this popped into my mind. Maybe it's my greatest fear. I like my hair.
3. When I was seventeen :
I arrived at uni, younger than most of the other freshers and a month off the UK drinking age. They had to put my picture up behind the college bar.
4. High School was :
Fine, but not as fun as it could have been. I am now, strangely, close friends with two large groups of my ex-schoolmates who were only vague acquaintances at the time, and I wish I'd befriended them earlier.
5. I will never forget :
This could be a long list, I have a very good memory. But since I guess we're talking about when I'm old and stuff, I'll go with last summer's Far East adventure.
6. I once met :
A man with seven wives. As I was travelling to St Ive's.
7. There’s this girl I know who :
Sometimes appears to share a brain with me.
8. Once, at a bar :
I left my money with a friend and asked him to get me a double vodka Red Bull while I went to the bathroom. When I came back, I found out the Russian bartender had confused my friend's order of a pint of wine (classy, I know) and my order...and given us each a double vodka Red Bull, IN a pint of wine. I drank it, with some female encouragement. I don't remember much after that. Except for falling off a barstool, running into a tree, and laughing a lot. Hell, ask Tilli what happened, I also remember phoning her a few times.
9. By noon, I’m usually :
Hungry.
10. Last night :
I don't remember. Not because it was a wild drunken night, but because the last week has been so fucking dull that all the days have merged into each other.
11. If only I had :
A billion dollars. Yes, everyone says this, but there's a reason. It would solve almost all of my problems, and thus give me time to focus on fixing the ones that it wouldn't solve directly.
12. Next time I go to gym/church :
Will be tomorrow, in the case of the gym.
13. Susan Boyle :
Is very talented. I only found out about her this morning, delayed I know. Does no else find it harsh how everyone keeps pointing out, to her face, how surprising it is to hear that voice coming out of her? She's receiving a backhanded compliment from THE ENTIRE WORLD.
14. What worries me most :
Getting my head shaved, apparently.
15. When I turn my head left, I see :
I don't see nobody by my side.
16. When I turn my head right, I see :
Still nobody in sight. So I turn my head to the north, swallow that thing that they call pride, the old me's dead and gone...but the new me'll be alright.
17. You know I’m lying when :
You won't. I lie so infrequently that no one ever suspects.
18. What I miss most about the eighties :
Umm...nappies? Breastfeeding? No wait, that's not good at all. Blissfull childlike wonder and ignorance, that'll do.
19. If I was a character in Shakespeare, I’d be :
Ha. Um, let's go with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 10 Things I Hate About You.
20. By this time next year :
I might have finished this meme. Halfway through, are you kidding me?! Right, I'm cutting down on the long answers.
21. A better name for me would be :
Seal.
22. I have a hard time understanding :
Chinese.
23. If I ever go back to school, I’ll :
Drink a lot.
24. You know I like you if :
Again, you won't know, not for the first few times we meet cos I'll barely have spoken to you. After that point, if I am anything even approaching talkative, that's your sign.
25. If I ever won an award, the first person I’d thank would be :
Parents.
26. When I compare 80’s rock to 90’s rock :
90's wins.
27. Take my advice, never :
Clean your glasses with aerosol deodorant. That was a motherfucker of a headache.
28. My ideal breakfast is :
Fried.
29. A song I love, but do not own is :
Does this assume non-piracy?
30. If you visit my hometown, I suggest :
Fuck this. http://www.visitlondon.com/
31. My favorite Beatle is :
Paul.
32. Why won’t people :
MAKE SHORTER MEMES.
33. If you spend the night at my house :
Do not expect me to know where the pillows are kept. People found this out the hard way last week.
34. I’d stop my wedding for :
If I made it that far? Nothing.
35. The world could do without :
Piers Morgan. Yeah, you know who he is now America, if you know who Susan Boyle is. God he's an irritating fucker.
36. I’d rather lick the belly of a cockroach than :
Lick the belly of a spider. But licking a cyanide capsule comes above both.
37. My favourite blonde is :
Huh. Difficult, I like brunettes. Ooh, got it, Elisha Cuthbert.
38: Paper clips are more useful than :
Emos.
39. If I do anything well, it’s :
Mental arithmetic.
40. And by the way :
I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for...

LOL I said spider too!!!
I cannot believe you forgot about peanut butter! Shame on you!
for #6, I wonder how he time manages the wives at night?? ;)
Great answers. Yeah, you were right about it being a long set of questions this week. Liked your bar story - vodka in a pint of wine - respect!
Great 'mental arithmetic'....I can do sums in my head, but when it comes to high end math....it's beyond me.
My stolen meme is posted. Do stop by if you get a chance. I'd love to have you for company today. Happy Sunday.
#3 I remember you telling me this, and thinking 'BWAHA! That's what you get for being so smart.' I do feel bad about it now.
#5 I dispute that.
#7 =)
#8 There have been SO many phonecalls. But I do remember that one, and all I can really remember is the *thunk* when you hit the tree.
#15/16 I KNEW that'd be your answer.
#32 I do love it when you get all frustrated.
#38 Wahaahahaha, card carrier =p
Wow, this really was a long meme.
I second your comment about Susan Boyle. If I have to hear how surprised people are I'm going to lose it! Truly awful thing to say.
Joy <--via Sunday Stealing
7 wives???? Yikes. Hope your head is feeling fine and not shaven :)
Wow. A quad vodka with Red Bull and wine. Yum. Tell Tilli to tell. Have a gret day!
Loved all your answers! The head shave was funny! TFD
Sounds like you don't want to shave your head, am I right ;)
LOL @ #8!
Funny answers! Have a great Sunday. ;)
I do not even know where to begin, but I will say it is completely HORRID that they put your picture in the college pub. That is by far uncalled for. :)
Wow, thanks everyone, here goes:
Berleen - I know, I won't let it happen again.
Fickleinpink - I wonder how he manages the 49 sacks of 343 cats and 2401 kittens. Am I making any sense at all?
Eerie - why thank you, it did NOT taste good.
Anni - I used to think I was good at maths. Then I did physics at uni.
Joy - glad someone else agrees!
Harriet - thanks, it is fine, although am not delighted with my current haircut.
Bud - I'm really not sure she got a very clear picture of what was going on.
Anissa - Thanks! Seriously though, would not even do it for money.
NurseExec - you are right. Wow, more people responded to the head shaving than I expected!
Kimber - It was a fun night =)
and last but not least, Tilli:
#3 - meh, it was only one bar, and only for a month.
#5 - *glares*
#7 - =D
#8 - Ha, thunk.
#15/#16 - =$
#32 - *glares*
#38 - )(
kalea_kane - I know, right? Oh well, I hadn't even really started drinking yet at that point.
A pint of wine, with a double vodka and Red Bull... sounds worse than the time I opened the second bottle of Scotch!
LOL we do not even know if you was lieing when you answered just joking but you answered the lieing question like I did
I so agree with you on the Susan Boyle thing. Paul Potts got a similar response as I recall. How shallow is humanity!
Your uncle sounds hilarious! Great blog :]
