I watch tons of sport but don't particularly support anyone (unless on a rare occasion having placed a bet on them) apart from Charlton. I don't watch enough tv to warrant giving any adverts or actresses or sitcoms as my favourites. I don't really watch films as i get bored of them within the first half hour unless they a really good film (its about 15 years since my last trip to the cinema). Same with books - cant read one for long enough to get into it. Never watched a play/musical/opera though i was taken to watch a pantomime once as a child - never been to a theatre since!! (if i ever met Russ Abbot I'd rap those red braces round his throat for making me have to watch that drivel!!) Did go to the circus once - was about as funny as 7 consecutive trips to the dentist to have teeth pulled (though at least i got an anaesthetic for that!) I am very very squeamish - will pass out at any sight of blood or bad cuts / injuries / accidents etc etc Drink lots of things but haven't really got a particular favourite - have been teetotal however for 11ish years. Gave up smoking 5&1/2 years ago. erm - thats about it really :) Title: Re: Getting to know you............. Post by: Mr F on August 24, 2006, 05:23:04 PM Star Sign: Virgo
