Another challenge! Great! I am not sure whether this is supposed to be in the “Everything that starts with B” category or not, I'll just put it in the “Everything that starts with X” category as the B one could be used for something else. To justify putting it in the X I have a word for you ... Xylophone :o)

1. What's on your duvet cover?
Let me check, brb ... It's dark green with some sort of burgundy leaves.

2. What is in the glove compartment of your car?
It depends who's asking. If you are a burglar, my glove compartment is empty and locked. If you are not a burglar, it's got a few CDs of cheesy pop music.

3. What is the background to your computer screen?
A picture of the sky I took a few days ago. I mean to put pictures like these on my website but can't be bothered.

4. What was the last thing you sung?
Scandalous by Mis-teeq. I wouldn't call it “singing” though :o)

5. When was the last time you did a cartwheel?
A few weeks ago in my back garden. Before that, I hadn't done one for a very long time and let's just say that it wasn't as easy as it used to be when I was younger.

6. How do you take your coffee?
Lots of milk and no sugar.

7. Last time you went clubbing?
I can't remember. I think it was last year.

8. Do you brush your teeth before breakfast or after?
Usually after breakfast. Unless I don't have time to get breakfast at home, so I just brush my teeth and get something to eat when I get in the office.

9. Sugar on cornflakes or not?
Ewwwwww, NO! I don't eat cornflakes but I can't stand having sugar with any sort of cereal, regardless how boring it tastes.

10. If you could learn one instrument what would it be and why?
None! When I was younger I thought it would be a good idea to join a brass band (what was I thinking?) and tried to learn to play the trumpet! I was very bad at it and didn't enjoy the experience at all, so I gave up a few months later. It did teach me to blow properly though ;o)

11. If you could speak a foreign language what would it be and why?
Japanese, because I find the Japanese culture fascinating and believe that learning the language would be a good insight. I did some research on the Internet the Japanese language last year and apparently it's quite difficult (surprise, surprise). So I chose to learn German instead!

11a. What would be your perfect email address?
I don't know, it doesn't really matter that much.

11b. Describe your favourite mug.
I had one that was dark blue but turned yellow when filled with hot liquid :-) it was cool

11c. What was your last dream?
Can't remember my last dream but the one before that had something to do with a combine harvester ..... enough said, next question?

12. What time does church start?
Ermmmm, sometime in the morning?

13. What was the first exam you took?
Can't remember, probably English.

14. Did parents hit you?
Nope :-)

15. Do you wear your watch on your left or right hand?
Left hand. What's the significance of this?

16. What shampoo do you use?
Neutrogena Clean Replenishing Moisturising shampoo

17. Last time you cut the grass?
Never.

18. What denomination are you?
Orthodox. Don't ask what the differences are to other denominations, I don't know (I would be interested to find out though).

19. Should we keep the monarchy?
Not really bothered. Yeah, why not.

20. What was the last thing you ironed?
Polo shirt.

21. What was the last thing you bought?
Bottle of water.

22. Have you been to Durham?
Yes, several times. It's a lovely place.

23. What did you have for tea last night?
Tesco fresh egg fussili pasta with mushrooms and red peppers in tomato sauce and a glass (or 3) of red wine.

24. Tea out of a teapot or tea bag?
Tea bag. Less washing up involved.

25. Favourite month?
August for the great weather.

26. Last time you clipped your nails.
Last night.

Is this it? Phewwww, that was fairly pain-free. Hop e you enjoyed reading it.

Thanks,
Steve
