Maryd.
28-02-2010, 01:33 PM
Mick Jagger... Love The Rolling Stones.

In the garden: Fruit trees or vegie patch?

Henry P
28-02-2010, 01:39 PM
I prefer Bowie.
Less work with fruit, but the veg is so fresh. So veg. I'll have to grow something this year. My daughter wants to try sweetcorn and fancy salad leaves
Big or small tomatoes?

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 01:51 PM
Not fussed, so long as they are juicy... Hmmm. (Go for the fancy salad leaves)

I can't dance, but I like tango music
Hardbacks or paperbacks?

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 03:51 PM
Ah dear, Henry, you must learn to dance. It is the next best thing in life than romance. (Well it is to me anyway)

Not fussed really, but if I had to chose paperbacks, they are easier to hold.

Meals: Vegetarian or a big fat juicy steak?

Henry P
28-02-2010, 05:14 PM
Big fat steak every time
Gold or silver jewellery?

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 08:51 PM
I really don't like either. I despise jewellery with a vengeance. I wear a gold wedding band and engagement ring because I have too... But I wouldn't if I didn't have too. (I know, I know, I am the only Italian that hates jewellery...)

Same question?

Henry P
28-02-2010, 09:16 PM
I prefer gold, although my skin is sensitive to it
Diamonds or emeralds?

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 09:54 PM
Again, niether... But I am a sucker for a lovely frock and a great pair of shoes.

Women: Gentle and kind or tough and arrogant?

Henry P
28-02-2010, 09:56 PM
Let me think... gentle and kind go a long way to making a woman beautiful
Men: funny and sensitive or macho and aggressive?

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 10:35 PM
Funny and sensitive, by mile. I love to laugh... Aggresive men think they are God's gift to women... Little do they know that women find it very intimidating. (Well most do anyway)

Songs: Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers or Love me Tender by Elvis?

Henry P
28-02-2010, 11:05 PM
elvis every time

to be telepathic or invisible?

Maryd.

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 11:37 PM

Henry P
28-02-2010, 11:45 PM
Wise
Glasses or contacts?

Maryd.
28-02-2010, 11:47 PM
Well, I have a weird nose and glasses hurt me... Though I don't wear them anymore, due to my problem correcting itself. I may have to wear lenses when I am older.

Henry P
28-02-2010, 11:58 PM
I've never partied ALL night, so I'll say romantic dinner
Michael Caine or Sean Connery?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 12:00 AM
You've never partied all night... You need a night out on town with me... Yahoo. But romantic dinner is better, I guess.

Sir Michael Caine by a mile.

Henry P
01-03-2010, 12:14 AM
Connery was better looking, but Caine is the better actor
Neighbours or Home and Away?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 12:18 AM
Agh! Hate them both... So silly to instill such nonsense into the younger generation's heads, but the mindless plots on both of those shows

speedos or bermuda shorts on men?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 12:49 AM
Not keen on speedos, don't really want to know what's there and/or what's not. So bermuda shorts thanks.

Skirts: Just above knee length or as short as one will go?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 12:56 AM
Just above the knee, not too short
Skirts or trousers?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 01:00 AM
I prefer skirts. Trousers are good when one is working around the house or garden... Nothing worse than gardening in a skirt.

On the hotest days: Men wearing a singlet or topless?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 01:28 AM
I prefer a T shirt

Henry P
01-03-2010, 10:23 AM
Brunettes- there are few natural blondes
music or talk radio?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 11:37 AM
Music... I get completely bored with talk.

Play the Radio or a cd?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 11:56 AM
Talk on the radio bores me usually. It has to be news or something really funny.
Music on the radio is more varied but the chat and ads are annoying
TV comedy with a laughter track or without?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 12:11 PM
Sometimes if they have a laughter track if you want to laugh, you don't miss the next line, because it usually waits until the laughter track stops. And agian sometimes it is totally annoying. Considering you may not find the comedy funny.

Wash windows with sudsy water or use Windex?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 01:08 PM
Sudsy water
We have a gadget with which you can clean both outside and inside at the same time, which we bought online
Australia as a republic or under the Queen?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 02:15 PM
That's a hard one... Very political to my mind and I don't really get involved with pollitics. Although, I have to say, she is safe under the Queen... You know the old saying, "Better the devil you know"

What are your thoughts?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 03:15 PM
I'd want a republic, here, too. I like the Queen but monarchy is outdated
Garages- built in or separate?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 03:20 PM
Built in is good, only if there is entry into the house, if not, seperate will be better.

House or unit/flat?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 05:00 PM
I have a built-in garage, but there's plenty of room in the house.
House. I've never lived in a flat
Holidays- all inclusive or self- catering?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 09:44 PM
I like a place where the offer breakfast... This way, you get up early, eat and you don't have to worry about food for a few hours. For the rest of the day. I prefer cooking my own meals. I'm a little pedantic about restaurant food. (Gastro scares me, I hate throwing up) And I prefer to be able to wash my only clothing and well, fussy aren't I?

Oop, did I get sidetracked. Self-catering.

Travel: by plane or drive?

Henry P
01-03-2010, 09:57 PM

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 10:09 PM

less sour and better
Herbal tea or normal tea?

Maryd.
01-03-2010, 11:29 PM
hmm, sounds yum. But I have never seen one in the supermarkets. Wonder where I can get one?

I drink normal tea. I use to have chamomile, when I had stomach issues. But now its the pot brewed, normal tea. (Not those wretched teabags?)

Want to hear a tea joke...
English man to his wife: Pass me the sugar, Honey.
Irish man to his wife: Pass me the honey. sweetie.

Hahahaha.

Henry P
01-03-2010, 11:33 PM
Sensitive, those Aussies

Maryd.

Um... it's all snooker to me...
Explain the difference as I don't know?

Henry P
02-03-2010, 12:54 AM
snooker has a bigger table and smaller balls. In pool you have your own set of balls, which you try to pot first. In snooker you go for any red and then any colour. Snooker is harder and better to watch
Long or short hair on men?

Maryd.
02-03-2010, 01:07 AM
Long is cute... But short is neat. Either is fine with me, so long as it is kept clean.

Henry P
02-03-2010, 01:12 AM

bath or shower?

Maryd.
03-03-2010, 01:02 AM
I have showers because they are quicker. But I love to soak in a tub of hot water and read. When the water gets colder, I refill and continue. Its so soothing.

I preferred Brando
Both good, but a really good theatre production is fantastic
The same film on TV or at the cinema?

Maryd.
05-03-2010, 01:39 AM
TV, as much as I hate the idiot box. I like to be able to watch a movie in peace. Plus it is so much more relaxing, one can lie down on the couch or slip into to your pj's.
Same question?

Henry P
05-03-2010, 01:46 AM
I agree. Some films are better on TV, especially the old b/w ones, but action stuff is best on a big screen
Blue or brown eyes in men?

Maryd.
05-03-2010, 01:51 AM
Well, my son has blue eyes, so I should really say blue. But for some reason, brown makes a man seem, manly... I hope that doesn't sound to weird.

05-03-2010, 11:48 PM
(You're so funny... I have to say, I don't mind a quick peck, but I love a good cuddle.)
It doesn't bother me either way... If the fellow feels the need to colour his hair, then who am I to complain. In any case I colour my hair.

Henry P
06-03-2010, 12:26 AM

that depends on the woman
Full names or diminutives?

Maryd.
07-03-2010, 03:14 PM
Well that depends... Do you like being called Hen? I have to say, I don't like being called Meh! Australians have a nickname for everything.

relax on holiday or fill each day with activity?

Maryd.
07-03-2010, 10:02 PM
Funny this one... When I was younger I filled each day with activity... But I haven't been on holidays for years and would just like to relax. I think it depends if you travel or not.

Same question?

Henry P
07-03-2010, 10:12 PM
A mixture of both. I get bored doing nothing after a day and itch to go somewhere

Maryd.
07-03-2010, 10:23 PM
On the net or play music (or both!)

Henry P
07-03-2010, 11:56 PM
Often both. I like a babble in the background, radio in the kitchen, Tv in the lounge, hi-fi in the study, otherwise I feel lonely.

Do you feel best in mornings or evenings?

Maryd.
08-03-2010, 12:19 AM
I like to read outdoors. On a fold out chair under the pergola area... If it is cold and raining I pop a blanket on (with the dog curled up to me) and listen to it while I read... It's bliss. If it is hot, same thing, but without the blanket.
I am a live and strong in the morning. But I also feel great at night.
Same?

Henry P
08-03-2010, 12:28 AM
It takes me a while to get going in the morning, then usually my mood and energy lenel drop in the afternoon. I feel at my best mid-evening to night-time.

Maryd.
08-03-2010, 12:33 AM
I used to love Sundays... I would take the kids to church and we would go to the local shopping centre later for coffee/hot chololate and cakes... Now I dislike the weekends for obvious reasons... I prefer week days... Life's to busy to notice grumpy people.

Do you?

Henry P
08-03-2010, 12:46 AM
When I worked, I used to wait for weekends , then they passed so quickly. I have my routines, so days follow similar patterns most weeks, but I think I still like Saturdays best

What about you?

Maryd.
08-03-2010, 01:11 AM
Well, with the kids, still young, one has to plan everything. And yet sometimes spontaneity gets the better of me and I do something silly.:bleh:

Maryd.
09-03-2010, 12:03 AM
Never ask a lady that question Henry... She might say yes to both... But I have to admit i had credit cards. I have a small one, just so I can download the backing tracks for Andrew's songs that he needs for competitions. But it is limited to minimal. So I don't go on a spending spree.
Same?

Henry P
09-03-2010, 12:20 AM
Yes. I withdraw cash every week, but anything I haven't enough readies for goes on Mastercard or occasionally store cards. But I never buy anything I know my savings can't cover, so my credit card costs me nothing in interest

Go to the hairdressers or get someone to cut it for you?

Henry P
09-03-2010, 01:22 AM
My wife used to cut mine, but I ran out of anaesthetic

Maryd.
09-03-2010, 01:25 AM
You are cracking me up here.

I cut my own hair. Hairdressers always have a field day when I walk in... Ask for an inch, they take four... They say, "Older people shouldn't wear their hair long... It looks ridiculous" Can you believe it... I am the "Older People" Me, older... Piff!!

Henry P
09-03-2010, 01:34 AM

Henry P
09-03-2010, 10:42 AM

Use a calendar or diary for daily reminders?

Maryd.
09-03-2010, 09:04 PM
