I think that it's because that sort of person rarely has anything of worth to actually say, so they make up for lack of content with high volume.

When was the last time that you genuinely wanted to do someone physical harm?

I cook every day, and quite well (let's not bother with false modesty!). I used to want to run a restaurant, until I realised that cooking wouldn't be as enjoyable if had to rely on it to make a living.

To ask a rather cliched question: You?

To cook, I'm currently enjoying making bean-based casseroles.
To eat, pretty much anything with cheese as a major ingredient.

Do you wash light and dark colours separately, or just chuck everything in the machine together?

i dont wash, my mom does. i dont know

how much is 19 dollars in euros???

Between 24 and 25.

EDIT - Sorry, that's 19 euros in dollars. I calculated it in my head and got the exchange rates the wrong way round. :o

If it takes one man twenty minutes to fill a bath of water with a bucket, how long will it take two men with a bucket each to fill three baths?

its actually 14.85 euros

30 minutes

why was 'the spider bite song' left off of the uk version of the flaming lips 'soft bulletin' album?

To trick people into buying two copies of the same album. There'll be a third version along soon with a DVD, just you wait and see.

If a special edition of Rather Ripped was issued, with a free DVD, would you buy it?

Quite possibly. I'd give the old one to someone else, if I could find anyone interested amongst my musically-challenged acquaintances.

Would you buy it? I've decided it comes with a free window sticker too.

Yes, I'd buy it, I'm sad like that. But I wouldn't keep the old one either.

West Lancashire District Council has banned its staff from taking smoking breaks, and if an employee is caught smoking when he should be working he could face the sack. Is this a good thing, or is it a vile infringement of civil liberties?

Hard to say. Instinctively, one has to saty it's wrong that smokers are entitled to extra breaks that non-smokers are not. But on the other hand we have to recognise that many smokers are addicted to a product that is made freely available to them in many thousands of shops across the land. And people stop work all the time anyway to have a chat or put the kettle on. What's the difference? Tricky.

What's you favourite pie or pasty? I've just had a feta and spinach pasty from Waterfields. They're nice.

I had a vegetable balti pie at football once, that was very nice. Or a mushroom pie at Norwich City. Or a curried parsnip pasty that I had at a shopping centre in Portsmouth. Oh, I don't know! Why did you have to get me thinking about food???

When did you last have your eyes checked by an optician?

When I was at school, and we used to have eye tests once a year. 20 or 25 years ago, I imagine.

How often do you think one should have one's eyes checked by an optician?

every 6 months.

what about teeth?

Hmm I don't know my parents tell me when to go, but I think it's every six months.

every six months. i havnt been for a while as trying to get the nhs to do anything is virtually impossible.

spector or rector?

Phil all the way.

Hi, How are you?

not too bad, just got some big decisions coming up.

yourself?

Too apathetic to care...

Can I have a hug?

Sure... *hugs thin air, while thinking of Trasher*

Feeling better now?
