Someone linked me to this on Facebook, and I’m a sucker for pointless surveys when I should be doing something more useful, so here you go

1.EVER BEEN GIVEN AN ENGAGEMENT RING?
No, though I live in hope So long as it’s a small, unobtrusive engagement ring that didn’t cost anyone very much money.

2. LONGEST RELATIONSHIP?
Is it bad if I say I can no longer remember?! About three and a half years, I think. Less than four definitely, but more than three.

3. LAST GIFT YOU RECEIVED?
Crikey, I’m not sure… Erm, Tim bought me some really cool books in July when we went to Buxton, as well as a learning to drive kit which I intend to make some proper use of very shortly

4. EVER DROPPED A MOBILE PHONE?
I think I drop my phone at least once a day, I’m kinda clumsy like that. The good news is that so far I’ve never actually dropped it in the toilet.

5. WHEN’S THE LAST TIME YOU WORKED OUT?
Worked out? Me? Erm, I don’t do exercise

6. THING(S) YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON?
Probably holidays. Not that I normally go on expensive holidays, but over the course of a year I try to go on lots of cheap holidays, which adds up.

7. LAST FOOD YOU ATE?
Lebkuchen. Oh yes, it’s that time of year again – Lidl are selling Lebkuchen

8. FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?
It depends which way they’re facing, clearly. If I see them from the front, I’d look at the eyes. If I see them from behind, I’d see what the arse was like.

9. ONE FAVORITE SONG?
Of all time? Ash, Sometimes.

10. WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
Birmingham. For now. I never thought I’d say this, but hopefully I’ll soon be living in Nuneaton!

11. HIGH SCHOOL YOU ATTENDED:
St Paul’s School for Girls. It was an interesting experience.

12. CELL PHONE SERVICE PROVIDER:
One of my phones is on O2, the other is on T Mobile.

13. FAVORITE SHOP:
I hate shopping Probably Waterstones, although I rarely buy books.

14. LONGEST JOB YOU HAD:
I’ve been at GT for over three years now – how shocking

15. DO YOU OWN A PAIR OF DICE?
A pair? No. I have one die; it’s the sort where you throw it and it tells you whether you ought to watch tv or make a cup of tea. I did once have some kinky dice, but I don’t know what’s happened to them.

16. DO YOU PRANK CALL PEOPLE?:
Ha. Cue onslaught of Catholic guilt. I did on one occasion, yeah. I learnt the hard way that it isn’t a very clever idea. Don’t ever do it, seriously.

17. LAST WEDDING YOU ATTENDED?:
Oooh, if you mean wedding as in ceremony, it was Hannah’s in April If you mean wedding as in party, it was a lady that Tim works with a month or so ago.

18. FIRST FRIEND YOU’D CALL IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY:
I’d call Tim to get him to check the numbers in case I’d got them wrong.

19. LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR BEST FRIEND(S):
Now I feel inadequate because I don’t have a best friend…

20. FAVORITE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT:
It’s got to be Burger King. I mean seriously, Burger King is so superior to MacDonalds it’s not even funny

21. BIGGEST LIE YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
Someone who said they were dying when they were actually in perfect health. Quite sickening behaviour.

22. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
Depends. If we’re talking about guys, definitely brunette. If we’re talking about girls, definitely blonde.

23. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL MOST OFTEN?
If I say 1471 is that going to make me sound really sad?!

24. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?
Accountancy, regrettably.

25. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY?
I was trying to do a Pentana on a set of charity accounts without having last year’s answers to copy and not getting very far.

26. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I would never, ever have plastic surgery. Unless I’d been in some sort of accident and needed it to repair nerves or tendons or something. But never for cosmetic reasons.

27. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?
Because it seemed more attractive than finishing the Pentana, or writing a summary of non-existent JEB activity over the past three months, which is what I ought to be doing.

28. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
I don’t think I ever get complimented :’( A client complimented me today on the colour-coding I used on my spreadsheet, but otherwise I’m struggling…

29. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?
Regret that I wasted so many years not drinking.

30. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
Personally, I don’t want kids at all but that’s rather selfish, so I guess I want however many Tim wants.

31. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Sometimes, yeah. I’m a little superstitious.

32. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
I think my handwriting is truly amazing, unlike Tim’s which is utterly illegible

33. WHEN DID YOU LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY?
How nosy! It was October 9th, 2006. At least, that’s the day I intended to lose it but it was an early hours of the morning sort of thing, so possibly it was actually October 10th.

34. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I doubt it, I probably wouldn’t get round to saying hello to myself.

35. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Depends. Clothes etc don’t matter. Attractiveness does, but people can be attractive without technically being good looking.

36. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
I cry, or eat chocolate, or go for a fast walk.

37. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
New Street station, I seem to spend half my life passing through it.

38. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?
Yes, I can be a little naïve.

I try, but I find foreigners tend to misunderstand it so perhaps I don’t use it very well

40. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
Happily no.

41. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Radio. You can call me that but please, don’t ever call me Klara.

Pasta, yep.

45. WHAT CAR DO YOU DRIVE?:
I don’t drive. Tim drives a nice car, it’s sort of silvery.

46. BEST DATE YOU’VE EVER BEEN ON?
It would be easier to tell you the worst ones! Perhaps the second date I ever went on, which was ice-skating back in the day when Planet Ice was the place to be. Soooo exciting!

47. LAST TIME YOU CRIED?:
Monday night, when I suddenly had a very nasty thought. Can’t tell you what it is for a few weeks until I clarify whether there’s actually something to cry about or not.

Green ones.

With pyjamas if I’m on my own, without otherwise.

A PR guy who keeps hassling me about wanting to take a sideways photo.

Pyjamas with hippos on.

68. CAN YOU PLAY POOL?:
No. I find the rules a little complex.

Spring.

6.01. I was trying to set the alarm for 6.00, but overshot slightly.

72. BEST THING ABOUT WINTER?:
I can go outside without getting sunburnt!

Never

74. DO YOU THINK PIRATES ARE COOL OR OVERRATED?:
Overrated, definitely. Pirate English will never supplant Esperanto as the universal language

Seeing Tim, trying to work through my backlog of unfulfilled Esperanto commitments.

76. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE:
Married, not an auditor, and the owner of a house with lots of bookshelves.

77. WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET?
Wilfully hurting people that I love with pointless lies.

78: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?
I suppose so, but I dislike the concept of being in love. People can fall in and out of love at the drop of a hat – does it really mean so much? The sort of love that matters is more permanent than that.

79. ARE YOU SMILING?:
No, should I be?

80: DO YOU PREFER TO SMILE WITH A TOOTHY GRIN OR A CLOSED MOUTH?
I have no idea, I don’t normally smile at the mirror. I suspect I keep my mouth closed when it’s an obligatory polite smile.

81. DO YOU MISS SOMEONE RIGHT NOW?
Yeah

82. IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Somewhere in Germany, I don’t mind where.

83. DO YOU HAVE A HIGH SEX-DRIVE?
No, I really don’t think so. But Tim has on occasion compared me to a teenage boy and rationed me to five shags a day, so perhaps…

84. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH?:
No.

85. NIGHT OR DAY?
Day, if it’s a weekend; night if it’s a weekday.

86. PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
I play the guitar shockingly badly.

87. DID YOU GO ON VACATION LAST MONTH?:
October? Nah, sadly not.

88. DO YOU HAVE SISTERS/BROTHERS?
One sister

89. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO JAIL?
No, but if I do I console myself that at least it will be fun in the showers

90. DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SEE ANYONE IN PARTICULAR RIGHT NOW?
Not really. I’m seeing Tim tomorrow, so no rush.

Isn’t that an oxymoron?!

92. YOUR HAIR COLOR?
Horrible mousey sort of brown.

93. YOUR EYE COLOR?
Blue. Ish.

No, but I wish Tim would, I find them quite attractive

HIGNFY – it was hilarious this week!
