Question Time - Part EIGHT!

[Jon Masters]

Rhubarb or blackcurrent - although long gone are the days when you could buy fresh blackcurrants.

Do you have any opinion on savoury crumbles ?

[Anthony Williams]

They sound foul! I feel a little ill just thinking about it!

Have you ever had a savoury crumble?

[Nyder]

My mother made a terrific minced beef crumble - add some gravy to that and you have one of my fave dinners!

What do you eat in the evening - dinner or tea?

[Nyder]

MAKES not made - she still does! Anyway back to my question.....

[Anthony Williams]

Dinner! Emphatically dinner!

Are you even remotely excited about the Football European Championship going on at the moment?

[Dave Tudor]

Yes I am, and it's proving to be more exciting than I thought it would be.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

[Anthony Williams]

No, but it is appreciated!

What's your favourite fruit?

[Stuart Wallis]

Bananas.

I am writing a comedy fantasy story. It's called "Chillax the Barbarian".

Can you be bothered to get excited about the Olympics?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

No and again thrice No

Have you ever been to the Globe theatre before?

[SiHart]

I have. One time in the rain and Steve got a parking ticket (on my birthday) and one time to see Paul McGann in a play, for Steve's Mum's birthday.

When will I see you again?

[Nyder]

I have no idea - there's nothing in the diary. That's terrible! Better get looking into that TVC tour....

Do you know the way to San Jose?

[Anthony Williams]

No clue!

Is that exactly what you needed to know?

[Nyder]

That information will prove most helpful.

Who was your favourite childhood radio DJ?

[Jon Masters]

Steve Wright in the Afternoon.

Do you still buy books from a bookshop or is it always online ?

[Anthony Williams]

It's always online these days, which is probably sacrilege, given my past employment as a bookseller!

Same question again.

[SiHart]

Both, but most often I borrow them from the library. It's a whole lot cheaper that way.

Are you a library user?

[Jon Masters]

Up until about 8 months ago I used to be a regular library user - making full use of our county's request system and popping over to small local libraries dotted around us if I knew they had what I wanted.

Unfortunately my home town library changed its opening hours and got rid of its later night openings, and as such I find it almost impossible to get there when I want to. I found I was renewing books online for weeks at a time , not because I hadn't finished them but because I couldn't get there on time to return them and didn't want the fines. So, having eventually returned them all I haven't dare sign any more out since.

Mind you, I'm not exactly short of books I own that I haven't got round to reading yet

Has the sun appeared where you are today ?

[SiHart]

Oh yes... it's gonna be a glorious day!

What's currently your favourite comedy series?

[Si Hunt]

Nothing current! All archive stuff I have to say - "Brush Strokes" and "Gavin & Stacey".

Are work drinks fun or a bit of a chore?

Si.

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Ask me tomorrow or better yet on Friday when I'm recovering but I guess probably. Certainly feels more like an obligation than something to look forward to at the moment.

How patient are you when waiting for replies?

[Si Hunt]

I am quite patient, but I do find it rude when people don't reply at all. That's something that deeply annoys me. Not like a casual reply, every conversation has to end somewhere, but when you ask someone something specifically and they never get back to you.

Do you need or wear glasses?

Si.

[Nyder]

Neither - at the moment. I think I have my Mother's eyes in that respect. Although these days she requires longer arms to read things :-)

When's the last time you had a completely uncontrollable fit of the giggles, and what was it about??

[Si Hunt]

I can't even remember. It's been a while. Maybe a few years. Things make me laugh all the times but it's not often you can't stop laughing. Those moments given are a gift from time.

What really riles you?

Si.

[Jon Masters]

IT systems that clearly aren't up to the jobs you are being expected to use them for - if they can't do it, do ask me to use them to do it !!

Fake tan, sunbed or au naturelle ?

[Anthony Williams]

Er... none! I like to be pale, and I like my women to be pale, too!

Do you like seafood?
