What is your favorite carnival/amusement park ride?

I love theme park rides! In the UK my favourite would have to be The Big One at Blackpool pleasure beach, just because i remember when it was first made and I couldn’t ride it without screaming a lot and keeping my eyes shut! Apart from that, I really like the World’s Biggest slingshot on I drive in Florida, especially as Uncle Glyn was to chicken to go on it! :lol:

How do you react in uncomfortable social situations?

Depends on the situation, but I learnt at school that being quiet and staring at your shoes usually works.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy discussing deep, philosophical topics?

I’d say about 7, it’s interesting to hear other people’s view points, but you have to be in the mood for that kinda conversation.

Did you get a flu shot this year? If not, do you plan to?

We were offered them free at work, but I didn’t get one. I think it’s important for more at risk people to though, which reminds me to call mum and make sure Nan has had hers!

*edit* have just called mum and both her and Nan have had theirs :-)

Approximately how many hours per week do you spend watching television?

Since starting my new job, not a lot! Rupert would probably disagree as he says I watch all sorts of trash, but usually its just on in the background. Today I’m having a relaxing slumming around day so will probably watch maybe 2-3 hours later on.

Did you know there are almost 3000 on-line casinos? With each casino offering different games and available to different countries that’s a lot of choice for anyone looking to sign up for the first time.

Pro360.com is an on-line casino review site, which helps making that choice a lot easier. As standard with such sites, each on-line casino receives an individual review. However, the number of casinos listed is much higher than on some competitor review sites. I especially like the option to choose your reviews based upon game played. A casino may have wonderful reviews for poker, but that’s not much help if you’re more of a bingo person. Each on-line casino is reviewed not only by the editor, but also by the players. The reviews are clearly laid out giving information about the casino, bonuses and reasons to join, along with a quick guide showing ratings for, overall, game experience, trust and extras.

The main page clearly states the maximum bonus for each casino, allowing users to identify the currency to be played and paid in. There’s also a column to distinguish if USA players are permitted to use the site, which in turn helps UK players find appropriate sites.

So apparently i’ve been at the new job for four weeks now. With all of the overtime I’ve been putting in, it feels a lot longer! Anyways I had my first performance review today and apparently am doing well :-)

Still not sure about the 4 off part of the shift, I’ll let you know when I actually take the full 4 days off :lol:

Do you ever buy stuff on-line and wonder if you’ve found the best deal at the best site? Ever bought something and then found it cheaper on a different site and wished you’d have checked there first?

Well now (if you live in the U.K) you don’t have to worry. Whether its anything from MP3 payers to baby’s toys, all you have to do is check this site first and it will direct you to the best price.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for within your budget, there’s a handy little tool that allows you to state how much you’re willing to pay. Once the prices are updated, you’ll be e-mailed if it then becomes available at your desired price.

There were different actors/singers than those in the act we saw last year, and I did feel that they weren’t quite as good. The first song was a bit quiet, but I think that was just nerves, once ‘Frank’ had settled in he sounded much more confident. Still despite the shaky start, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily go and see it all over again :-)

Relaxing in the pool in The Dominican Republic, even in February, it is very hot there!

Our usual chef has taken a week off for thanksgiving, so Gattina has nicely served up today’s feast:

Imagine that you are deaf, dumb and insensitive to touch.What other image of happiness could you have?

I would still be able to see and that sense may be strengthened due to the other senses being weakened.

Do you collect anything?

I don’t have anything that I’ve thought ‘I must collect all of them’, but I do tend to bring home a new magnet everytime i go somewhere new or on holiday.

When do you start your Christmas?

I started Christmas shopping in October this year, as due to changing jobs am feeling very poor! usually I’d leave it until December.

What would you do if you were in a corner and a snake was staring you down?

If you were in the library and had gas

to all of my American readers. :-)

So for the first time since 1984 there will be no U.K team in the next European cup. This has got to be the end of McLaren’s spell managing England. I really felt for Scott Carson tonight. Yes he made really bad errors, but this was way too high profile a game for anyone making their debut. The most disappointing aspect for me was most of the players did not look like the were playing to their potential. If Mclaren had chosen 11 blokes off the street, they would have all played with more pride and passion. How Lampard got man of the match was beyond me. Apart from scoring one of the goals, his name was hardly mentioned throughout the game. Hopefully this will be the kick up the arse the England squad have needed since last year.
