    Some - who I would call pretentious, marketing victims or alcoholics - would call me unsophisticated or just plain common but my favourite booze is pomagne often called perry. Tesco's own brand is excellent and costs under £1 for a large bottle. Asda's (Wallmart for you yanks) is not as good...

    when look out my windows i see...

    My windows aren't frosted, but they have that same opaque quality. This is due to the fact I don't believe in cleaning them. So, I see differing sizes of grey spots and smears, divided by narrow lines made from heavy rainfall. What I find puzzling is that when I do wipe a bit of window, the...

    Which writer would you choose as a pal?

    great food memories

    Great chris! Thanks for the unpretentious, honest reply. :D Talk about showing off -:rolleyes: It reminds me of the meal I had with Oscar Wilde and Billy Shakespere on Uranus - truffle and mash with tomato ketchup and a side order of Baluga cavier. Unfortunately, I chucked-up.

    Are you gay?

    Fairy, Sissy, Queen, Puff, Poof, Poofter, Swish, Pansy, Queer, Dyke, Gay, Bent, Nancy boy, Fruit , Fag, Faggot. These are just some of the words which have been nicked from their original use by the shirt-lifter brigade. Thieving gits I say! ;) BTW, I'm not sexual in any way. :)
