SWITCH THAT BLOODY LIGHT OUT... I'LL DO IT... I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS!!

LondonCityMum seems to want to know more about me and has asked me to demanded that I share the answers to her ten questions here on my blog.  

1. Name of your first pet?
I had an Abyssinian guinea pig called Cuddles (and my sister had a rabbit called Flopsy - they lived in a hutch together).  If this is a thinly veiled attempt to find out my porn star name then the street I lived on was Curzon Road.
First Pet Name + Childhood Street Name = Porn Star Name
"Cuddles Curzon"
I quite like that actually... hhmmm *ponders career change*

2. Your most delectable piece of lingerie?
Erm... lingerie is not my strong point.   It it's not grey then it's an achievement.  If it matches then it's a miracle.  If I'm wearing it in bed then it gets in the way.  I'm a lost cause, aren't I?  Maybe I should hint at some lingerie companies to kit me out?

3. Be a famous person for a day - who and why?
I would like to be Louie Spence.  I want to dance around London and not care in the slightest.  I can do jazz hands really well but I can't do the splits any more.

4. Your neighbour's dog chews up your prized, and very expensive, Manolos. What do you do?
Why would my neighbour's dog be chewing up my shoes?
Why would I have a pair of Manolos?

5. If you could only eat three things for the rest of your life, what would they be?
KFC boneless chicken
Chip butties (real chips, homemade)
New Jersey potatoes with butter
(I'd be the size of a house, wouldn't I?)

6. Caught speeding. How do you get out of it?
Not an issue... I'd be doing 88 mph and time-travelling, therefore un-catchable!

7. Secret crush as an adult?
It hasn't changed since I was about 12 years old.  Simon le Bon... *drool* and he IS one person who has got better with age.

8. Which side of the bed do you sleep on?
As I lie down, I am on the left hand side of the bed.

9. Tom Cruise: kiss, marry or send to live permanently with the Pope?
Tom Cruise in Cocktail/Top Gun/Vanilla Sky/Days of Thunder (delete as appropriate) - kiss.
Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa, banging on about Scientology - send to live permanently with the Pope.
I wouldn't marry him.

10. Rudest word you have in your (child-free) vocabulary?
My kids are a lot older now so I'm allowed to say rude words in front of them without feeling much guilt.  In fact, they have taught me one or two...
* * *
OK, now time for my questions:
  1. Who is the most pointless celebrity, and why?
  2. If you had to take a random item to an interview to help describe you, what would it be?
  3. What is your favourite cartoon?
  4. If you could only listen to three pieces of music for the rest of your life, what would they be?
  5. What film would you have liked a staring role in?
  6. What, if anything, do you wear in bed?
  7. Favourite item of footwear?
  8. Look over your right shoulder.  What do you see?
  9. If you were a flavour of crisp, which flavour would you be and why?
  10. Twitter or Facebook?
And who shall be answering these questions?

*shines an interrogation light on...*

(use my questions, make up 10 of your own... feel free to change the meme to suit yourself - it's a bit of fun at the end of the day)

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
