4) If you could design a your perfect food,

a) what would it have the texture of?
b) what would it have the taste of?

    1) Without food. When I was in my early 20s, I would have said sleep.

    2) squirty cream...of course, a giant sausage (how could I not?) and pickled onions (because I would be competitive and they are playing a bit dirty with all that vinegar). Anyone wanna fight?

    3) I think it would have to be banana (although buttered toast comes a close second)

    4)
    a)smoked salmon
    b)cottage cheese
    c) freshly baked bread
    d) warm (not hot)
    e) shovelled in with a spoon
    f) Purple - for novelty

    5) Marzipan, mussels, fatty/gristly meat, broad beans.

    Well I have done the sleep thing:I used to have a job were I worked 24hr with 10 off for 3 weeks at a time & I never knew the date!
    Coca cola, flour & eggs as weapons (not forgetting a box of matches)
    Pears.
    Cannot answer the rest have been over taken by extreme hunger, cat-cha later honey ;)

    1) Er, I have a habit of forgetting both at times. Probably food though, going without much sleep gets harder with age.

    2) Flour, custard and jam doughnuts. Clearly the obvious choice for any battle ready food fighter!

    3) Banana. Well as long as they were always ripe and didn't have any of those nasty brown bruised bits. Otherwise I'd go for the fish.

    4) Pork Pie. It would just be Pork Pie.

    5) Cheese (except on Pizza, unless there is too much cheese then I don't like it), Cabbage, Sprouts, Marmite.

    1) Without food

    2) Can of squirty cream, bottle of cola and bag of brussel sprouts.

    3) Argh, extreme toss up between Banana and Buttered Toast. I'm going to plump for buttered toast, but I think I would usually say Banana.

    4) a) Texture of crunchy cereal with cold milk.
    b) Taste of chocolate custard
    c) Strawberries.
    d) 11 degrees C
    e) Spoon. (Probably necessary given the texture.)
    f) Any colour except blue.

    5) Mustard, Meat, raw brussel sprouts, raw mushrooms, wasabi.

    You interesting, interesting woman.

    1. Without sleep. (can do fairly easily)

    2. Eggs, stinky cheese, and gravy. Slick and smelly. That's how I fight.

    3. Porridge. I really could have that be a daily meal.

    4. My perfect food would be hot, homemade. Might have some lumps (further proof of home-maded-ness). It would be best consumed with a fork, but a spoon wouldn't be out of place. A knife would be right out. Northerners would add a touch of sugar to it, but Southerners would add salt and pepper. It would smell like home and when people saw you eating it, they would offer you their favorite on-hand item for a bite. Which I would give them, because I'm nice like that.

    5. Hardboiled eggs, liver. (I pretty much like everything.)

    Some of your questions didn't include all the necessary options.....

    1) Sex (but no more than 24 hours)
    2) Tasmanian poison-tipped rocket bamboo
    3) Beer
    4) Wine, wine, wine, room temperature, drink, red.

    I reckon we should meet in a large wooden vat and have a food fight. I think the odds would be:
    be
    Heron's View 5:1 (reckon finishings would hurt)
    Andy C 10:1 (slightly soft foods although the rules might mean you were in with a chance - doughnuts are hard not to eat)
    Leilai 6:1
    Pearl 3:1
    Mark: 2:1 (that sounds scary)
    Molly 3:1 becasue I will have practised hard.

    The rules are:

    1) If any food lands on the referee after a contestant has thrown it, it’s a free throw to the other contestant.
    2) Any food landing in the audience can be thrown back at the contestants.
    3) A contestant wins by slipping over the least number of times, when their opponent gives in or if their opponent swallows something.

    There were far too many choices, and questions. All I remember is spitting my tea everywhere at the notion of a jug full of gravy in a food fight. That will henceforth be my weapon of choice when I am challenged to a duel; a not uncommon occurrence!

Breaking the blog spell...

My beautifully captivating and mesmerising big sister cast a spell on me. It was a spell that would make me sit in up in the clouds and write a blog every single day...mostly for her benefit - as she dutifully and kindly read and commented on each one. Being easily coaxed into most things and liking the idea of a blog meant this spell was fine...for a while. Then.....I was sitting minding my own business (I look quite funny when I do that - most people do) when a huge green common-sense elf wearing red hotpants came and waved his wand at me declaring, "Writing a blog every day when you work full time, have two youngish children and a million projects on the go at any one time, is a little silly. You can waffle on and on about just about anything and do have about forty draft blogs saved ready to run, but it's probably best you aim more for quality than quantity and only write about slightly more fully formed ideas! After all, less IS more." I was released -although I fear...

51 quirky features of Norwich Cathedral that you can go and find

Image
I have always loved Norwich Cathedral as it is beautiful and atmospheric. But it turns out that it is also loaded with a hotchpotch of history as building started in 1096. The more I learn about it, the more fascinated I become. So here are my recommendations for what to look out for should you ever visit the cathedral. 1) The Elizabethan grave of Thomas Gooding Thomas was a mason of the cathedral. He paid a fair amount of money to be buried upright because he believed this would give him an advantage come judgement day. At the base of his memorial is a typical of its time, poignantly death-focused inscription: 'All you that do this pass bye Remember death for you must dye As you are now even so was I And as I am so shall you be Thomas Gooding here do staye Wayting for God's judgement day' If you look at the skeleton, you will see there is poor knowledge of anatomy. 2) The grave of the baby that died before she was born . I have been told that this is be...

Anal Retention Test

Image
I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now. Just shows you how far a bit of anal retention can take one. *************************************************** DEFINITION A popular term for “anal retentive personality,” a personality marked by excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve. According to psychoanalysis, an anal personality is formed in early childhood as a result of efforts to control bowel movements. *************************************************** Now tell me, does anal retention *increase with age? *really make life easier? *have very strong links to the need to b...
