Henry P
08-02-2010, 01:24 PM
Ouch indeed- I just cut myself shaving, but it makes me look young and handsome.
Women's dress depends on the occasion, but in everyday life somewhere in between. well-dressed mannequins look good but waste money while your sloppy joes are quite endearing in their devil-may-care attitude. what I like is a personal style.

Maryd.
09-02-2010, 11:38 AM

Henry P
10-02-2010, 09:33 AM
Mystery. I'm disenchanted with "love".
Horror or whodunnit?
Maryd.
10-02-2010, 12:05 PM
Whodunnit... Love to guess the killer/villan.

Henry P
10-02-2010, 01:54 PM
good fiction beats non-fiction, but there's a lot crap about

films on DVD or at the cinema?
Maryd.
11-02-2010, 03:52 AM
I used to like the cinema, but recently I prefer to watch movies at home, as every cinema experience we have had lately has not been pleasant. On our last visit there were so many people chatting casually and this one fellow kept belching all the way through the film. Grrrr.
Alone with no debt - In debt, but have an abudance of family members around?
Henry P
11-02-2010, 10:49 AM

11-02-2010, 02:21 PM
Online is much easier because someone always has the book you want out, although I like libraries.
Composing poetry on a PC or on paper?
Maryd.
12-02-2010, 09:44 AM
I have had too many issues with the pc, I write everything down first, then type it on the pc... Then print the pc version... I have recently completed a children's novel and it is at its editing stage. But I have copied it on three different USB's. And I have a printed version... Talk about paranoid... You know the old saying "once bitten, twice shy." Have been virused twice before, so now I just take precautions.

Maryd.
12-02-2010, 01:41 PM
Ground level... I hate having to drive around and up... Around and up... Around and up... I'm, dizzy just thinking about it.
Over eat or portion size your meals?
Henry P
12-02-2010, 01:45 PM
I hate the low walls, nasty barriers and railing in the multi-storey parks.
Occasionally overeat, but I watch the carbs.
Sweet or savoury?
Maryd.
12-02-2010, 01:53 PM
Savoury... No sweet.... No savoury... Argh! Can't I have both. No, then savoury.

Henry P
12-02-2010, 01:56 PM
Meat, but I like fish too- organic or wild salmon, Dover sole, sea bass
Fish or seafood?
Maryd.
12-02-2010, 02:02 PM

Robert De Niro. (Is it Niro or Nero... Nevermind)
Martin Short or Danny Devito?
Henry P
15-02-2010, 12:04 PM
It's Niro. I prefer Pacino- not as good in comedy, but more intense in serious stuff.
DeVito - he just looks hilarious
Dustin Hoffman or Jack Nicholson?
Maryd.
15-02-2010, 12:46 PM
I am a Dusting fan. Loved him, in Tootsie and Rainman.

15-02-2010, 12:54 PM
I like both, but Nicholson is sharper, deeper, more dangerous
I prefer Mr Chase
John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?
Maryd.
15-02-2010, 12:56 PM

Henry P
15-02-2010, 12:58 PM
I prefer John Wayne. Clint looks dour and mean

Maryd.
15-02-2010, 01:21 PM

Andy Williams or Tony Bennet?
Henry P
15-02-2010, 01:25 PM
Clooney is a better actor, though I like both. Big pals, apparently

Maryd.
15-02-2010, 01:30 PM
Bennet, I never understood the hype on Sinatra.
Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra?
Henry P
15-02-2010, 01:35 PM
Sinatra was great at being a megastar, and usually spot on with choosing a song, but I prefer Bennett and Martin as characters. All Italians!
Sean Connery or Daniel Craig as 007?
Maryd.
15-02-2010, 01:40 PM
Never really liked 007. But if I had to chose, I think Roger Moore.
Lucille Ball or Carol Burnnet (not sure if that is the correct spelling)
Henry P
15-02-2010, 01:42 PM
I prefer the very realistic Daniel Craig, but can't really compare the two US comediennes
Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller?
Maryd.
15-02-2010, 01:48 PM
Oh no, you cannot ask me to chose between the two genious. I love them both.
Robin Williams or Jim Carey?
Henry P
15-02-2010, 01:59 PM
Both great performers, but I prefer Williams- a hyperactive, superwitty genius and Sandler, softer and more human, I think

Maryd.
15-02-2010, 02:03 PM
Kate Winslet like Sandler she is more human.

Maryd.
15-02-2010, 10:46 PM

Henry P
16-02-2010, 12:45 AM
Mel is the greater talent, but I like Willis' attitude
Not a great fan of Madonna, but she is preferable to the awful Cher
madonna or Lady Gaga?
Maryd.
16-02-2010, 04:39 AM
I like Lady Gaga a lot. I find her energetic, young and fresh. But in such a case I will have to go for Madonna, as she has created so many hits in her lifetime. She is amazing. (Not to keen on her antics though) Hence the mocking of religion.
The Marx Brothers or The Three stooges?
Henry P
16-02-2010, 09:08 AM
I like Lady Gaga- she writes her songs and has a good voice. I prefer the Marx Brothers
Meryl Streep or Helen Mirren?
Maryd.
16-02-2010, 11:55 AM
Meryl Streep... I love Meryl, she reminds me so much of - well me - I guess. (Without the blond hair of course)

Maryd.
16-02-2010, 11:20 PM
Again I can't chose, but McCartney has always intrigued me. So I might go with McCartney.
Music: Heavy metal or Grunge?
Henry P
17-02-2010, 09:02 AM
I prefer Lennon- more honest and direct, musically bolder and a better lyricist. An idiot for marrying the awful Yoko, but a great loss
I think grunge- the stereotypic posturing of heavy metal bands is laughable, though some music is good. A good choice of antagonists
Soul or rap?
Maryd.
17-02-2010, 12:40 PM
Soul, I don't mind rap. But Sould is better.
Whistling or humming?
drantifag

Maryd.
18-02-2010, 12:03 AM

scrambled eggs or fried eggs?
Maryd.
19-02-2010, 12:15 AM

Henry P
19-02-2010, 04:20 PM
I prefer sofas, too.
I don't have a dishwasher, but hate washing up, so probably would prefer something to do it for me
Alarm clock or mobile phone to wake you up?
Maryd.
19-02-2010, 04:22 PM
Mobile phone... It sounds better than... Loud bells ringing.
Mow the lawn or pay someone to do it?
Henry P
19-02-2010, 04:27 PM
I prefer alarm clocks- I don't trust mobiles to ring on time, but they do
I mow the lawns myself but I don't enjoy it. I'm too tight to pay someone, though
Fix simpler things on your car or pay to have it done?
Maryd.
20-02-2010, 12:25 AM
No, fix them yourself... When I was 20, an elder man from work, showed me how to toy with the carbi, when you flooded it. (Which I often did) And I never got stranded again.

Maryd.
20-02-2010, 11:48 AM
Neither... But at least I can put up with fog.

I dislilke honey.
Cold meats. (ham, mortadella, turkey... etc.)

20-02-2010, 07:35 PM
Set honey is not liquid, processed so it is like butter straight from the fridge

Pastrami or roast beef?
Maryd.
21-02-2010, 12:19 PM
Neither... Not keen on cold meats... Actually not keen on meat in general.
Photos or videos?
Henry P
21-02-2010, 12:36 PM

Maryd.
21-02-2010, 02:55 PM

Over eat or pace yourself?
Henry P

Henry P
22-02-2010, 01:38 PM
I like both, but Firth is a better actor. They look good for 50 this year,(Firth is one day younger)

Henry P
22-02-2010, 03:00 PM
Friendly just gets ignored in my experience

22-02-2010, 03:20 PM
I like the old fashioned methods of learning. You never forget them.
Get involved with a group argument or stand back and watch?
Henry P
22-02-2010, 03:34 PM
There's room for both kinds of methods, but the system doesn't like the old ways any more- it's all very friendly and pupil-engaging now
I had to break up arguments as a teacher, though

Henry P
27-02-2010, 02:03 PM
My women teachers weren't very good, but that was just pot luck

I so agree with this wordage. It seems the most beautiful poetry comes from minds who have been troubled. Emotion is a right frontal response.
