Having read the posts so far I think I know some people a lot better, but how well do I know myself? How many of the answers somebody else has given do you think to yourself 'Sh*t how did I forget that' or 'damn I should have picked that one'?

One afro for each one of those thoughts.

When I finally get around to passing my driving test and getting a car I have always said I will get a green (BRG) or yellow one just to be different. Maybe MPOWER can answer this one but why is it that just about every new BMW on the road is SILVER (or grey as I like to call it!). Why oh why  ::)

Truth, have you (not sure if you work for P4C) had much interest in the Xmas Nottingham Race course poker tourney?

I see its pencilled in for 3rd Dec, and was going to put it to some of the other lads from Glasgow, to see if they fancied a wee day out, to meet some of the other Blondites?

Hi Dave

I have a little to do with P4C. The Nottingham event is selling tickets at a tremendous rate. 100 capacity and half the tickets havee already been paid for. It would be fantastic to welcome a contingent from North of the border. If you require any help with accomodation etc contact angienewth@poker4charity.org as we have a number of deals that will benefit P4C / Game for Life. If its anything like last year it will be fanbloodytastic.

Miles solo stuf was OK. Did you see the recent bust up on the old website? Milo broke from the rest of the band but is now playing his new 'solo' stuf as 'wonderstuff' music.
I only saw them once at the kings college student union when they had reformed '99 i think...

Well to be honest you didn't really learn much from me there apart from the fact that i don't have any favourites in a lot of the categories!!

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 :)
