[Henry P]

hanging them up is cheaper
chimpanzees or orang utans?

[Maryd.]

Oh chimps.

The worst annoying pet: Flies or mosquitos

[Henry P]

Pets? They don't live long in my house/
A funnel web spider (native to Oz) or black mamba snake would be even worse
Chest freezer or one with shelves?

[Maryd.]

One with shelves.
My son has a birdeating spider, I should upload a photo... It makes me shiver when I go to my book shelf. He is in his den, on the highest shelf.

Exercise or not?

[Henry P]

very rarely

Juices: Orange or apple?

[Henry P]

Apple juice
Lino or tiling on the kitchen floor?

[Maryd.]

We have tiling, but honestly. I love lino, it is so soft to walk on, bare foot. And easier to clean. Also with tiles dirt get's stuck in the grouting and eventually one need's to get out the scrubbing brush.

Painted walls: Plain or mixture of blended colours?

[Henry P]

plain walls
Carpets or laminated floors?

[Maryd.]

Laminated. Can't stand carpet... (Even though I have it) Dust collector.

Glasses.

Drinking tea: In an elegant tea cup or a mug?

[Henry P]

a mug is bigger
Laser eye surgery doesn't affect anywhere else in the body, but it leaves eyes sore and isn't always 100% successful. It wouldn't work on me with my astigmatism
wax or shave/

[Maryd.]

This may come as a shock to you and may be too much information. But I pluck as often as I can... And haven't had to shave since last November. It's cheaper than buying blades or hair removal cream... And it doesn't hurt as much as waxing.
Shave daily or three day growth?

[Henry P]

Ouch. You can buy a gadget of plucking- Silkepil?
I shave when I go out. I thought about a beard but it might be grey

[Maryd.]

Yep... It would probably be grey. Clean shaven is just perfect. (Can't tell I don't like beards, ha?)
Gift buying: Spend time shopping to buy a gift or just walk in and buy a voucher?

[Henry P]

I've done both
new flat screen TV or stay with your old box till it gives out?

[Maryd.]

Yuk, hated maths... English, by far.

Woodwork at school or cooking?

[Nature's heartbeat]

Cooking, by far

Singing or dancing?

[Maryd.]

Oh, so hard. I like them both... I used to do ballroom dancing in my twenties. So love danciing. Yet my 12yr old son is quite the singing and we carry a tune together. So love singing... Oh, cannot decide. I will not.

Sweet wine: Red or white?

[Nature's heartbeat]

Don't drink, so neither...(and lol...can't decide between singing or dancing either...;) Love them both!)

Travelling alone or with someone you know?

[Maryd.]

Don't mind my own company so don't mind travelling alone, in any case I can always read. Yet I am also quite happy to travel with someone, so long as they are dear to me.

Feelings: Cry at a soppy movie or brave it?

[Henry P]

I'll think I'll manage to brave it out, thanks

Rainman or Top Gun?

[Henry P]

Oh, I know this sounds weird, but I didn't watch the Godfather movies. The mafia and things like that never interested me.

My Fair Lady or Sound of Music?

[Henry P]

My Fair Lady
Julie Andrews (Eliza in the theatre) or Audrey hepburn from the film?

[Maryd.]

Well, Julie Andrew's certainly has the voice... But I do like Audrey Hepburn. I Cannot decide.

Same?

[Henry P]

Audrey was better-looking but couldn't sing.
Keira Knightley or Audrey Hepburn?

[Maryd.]

Audrey Hepburn

[Henry P]

French

[Maryd.]

French or Polish?

[Henry P]

French
French or German?

[Maryd.]

French.

German or Russian?

Would you buy ivory or not?

[Maryd.]

No, no... That means sad elephants... Yes?

Would you buy fur or not?

[Henry P]

I like the feel of it, but probably not. My daughter wouldn't like it

[Maryd.]

Trip to the city... Taxi or Drive your car?

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

A small trip: By boat or Aeroplane?

What about you?

[Maryd.]

Same, yes I could do with an island trip too. Shall we? Hahahaha

Deserted Island or inland with plenty of action?

[Henry P]

I used to go for plenty of activities on holiday- now I'm not sure

[Maryd.]

I think a deserted island somewhere, would be nice... Laze on the beach. Glass of cool drink in one hand and the hand of a loved one in the other. Bliss.

Have you ever just taken off somewhere, spontaneously?

[Henry P]

Never. Once we decided to go to the countryside one saturday lunchtime, then turned back because our wall had been damaged

[Maryd.]

It's always the way.

Have you ever wanted to live elsewhere?

[Henry P]

Yes- somewhere warmer and sunnier, in the countryside or by the sea

[Maryd.]

By the countryside... I think.

Visiting family: Ring or drop by?

[Henry P]

Ring- they're far away

[Maryd.]

David... I like soccer. Victoria... I like her perfume. So both.

Same?

[Henry P]

Yes. I don't dislike them
Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie?

[Maryd.]

Not really keen on either... But don't hate them. All actors are odd.

Actors or singers?

[Henry P]

actors are brighter usually, but singers are often creative, writing songs. don't know

[Maryd.]

I like them both too.
Company: people or animals?

[Henry P]

people, but animals are simpler and less demanding

[Maryd.]

Well you my dear, would probably know my answer to that. At least if you are dealing with animals, you can always throw them outside when you are stressed. Try doing that to people...

Bath or shower?

[Henry P]

showers are quicker and cheaper, but I love a good soak
Music while bathing or silence?

[Maryd.]

Same, love a good soak at times.
Music while bathing thanks... But most times I read.
Read in the bath or not?

[Henry P]

No- My book will get wet
Read in the toilet or not?

[Maryd.]

Firstly Henry, you don't put the book in the bath dear... And no, I am not into reading in the toilet. I like to get in and out of that room as quickly as possible.

Voluteer work: Do it or let someone esle do it?

[Henry P]

i 'm afraid I 've done very little in that line apart from helping a homeless charity and donating stuff to charity shops, but Steph worked for Oxfam wage-free
what about you?

[Maryd.]

Yes... I like doing things for the kids. You know me Henry, kids are our future. But honestly haven't done anything for a good 6 years now... I'd like to foster, but hubby won't have it... Typical.

Junk food: McDonalds or Take away chicken?

[Henry P]

Never had takeaway chicken
Have you ever had food delivered?

[Maryd.]

Yes pizza

[Maryd.]

Rice. I am too critical of quick pasta meals.
Drinks: Cola or lemonade?

[Henry P]

cola
mediterranean food or australian food?

[Maryd.]

Mediterranean food... There is so much more variety

[Henry P]

I agree. Italians/Turks/spanish/ Greeks can make simple foods seem interesting
Married or unmarried Catholic priests?

[Maryd.]

I say let them marry.

Popes :Younger modern or the good old fahioned ?

[Henry P]

I think Catholics need a younger moderniser
Modern or Shakespearean English?

[Maryd.]

Shakesperean English is very difficult, but very romantic to listen too.
So will go for Shakespeare

[Henry P]

Me too
Support Oz or Italy in a football match between them?

[Maryd.]

Oh, Henry... You made that tough for me to chose. I should support the Aussies, but if we are speaking of soccer, then in my opinion, Italians are better. I have always liked Italian soccer teams.

Support Oz or England in a football match between them?

[Henry P]

en-ge-land! One World Cup and two world wars! Rule Britannia!

[Maryd.]

You're so funny...

Hunt or protect a species?

[Henry P]

If they need protection, they shouldn't be hunted

[Maryd.]

A good movie cuddled on the couch with a loved one or a quiet night, reading.

[Henry P]

A good movie , especially black and white, with the lights off

[Maryd.]

hmm. Yes.

Snack during movies or sit quiet?

[Ike]

Milk....at least it has cocoa.

Milk chocolate...or dark?

[Henry P]

Both
Colourful cars or those in dark colours?

[Maryd.]

I like simple colours... Nothing too fancy. Except red of course.

Chocolate cake or Icecream?

[Henry P]

Both on the same plate
sliced meats or pate?

[Maryd.]

(Both on the same plate... Way to go Henry)

Pate.

Red grapes or green?

[Henry P]

red, or even better , black
quick soups- packet or carton/ tin?

[Maryd.]

Packet.

Quick meals: Pies and chips or Pizza and Garlic bread

[Henry P]

pizza
Do you eat many pies down there?

[Maryd.]

Yes... The best pies are the ones they sell at the football grounds. I have only been three times. I don't really care much for football, but it was worth the trip to taste the pies.

A good steak or a sausage in a roll?

[Henry P]

steak
Buy home country's goods or foreign?

[Maryd.]

Well we are encouraged to buy home countries goods, but they are so much more expensive and most average families cannot afford them.

Study in your home town or travel abroad?

[Henry P]

I stayed at home and so does my daughter.

[Maryd.]

Around the house: wear shoes or bare feet?

[Henry P]

Slippers but I tend to slip them off
mild or mature cheese?

[Maryd.]

Mild thanks.
Day or night?

[Henry P]

I like both, for being awake and sleeping
living in a small town or a big city?

[Maryd.]

A small town please... Could do with warm, smiling kind people for a while.
Live on a long winding street or in small court?

[Henry P]

I live on a main road with a short side street
What about you?

[Maryd.]

I live on an average street, but have always wanted to live in a small court. People drive slower and the neighbours are friendlier.

If you had a choice, would you like to live: With someone or live alone?

[Henry P]

I need people to talk to
Big spacious home or small and cosy?

[Maryd.]

Already have small and cosy... Could do with some more space, or at least some more cupboard space.

Brick home or weatherboard?

[Henry P]

Brick. timber would rot in our weather
Be blind or deaf?

[Maryd.]

Golly neither if I could help it... But if not, then deaf. I would be depressed if I couldn't look at the beautiful colours of my roses.

Same?

[Henry P]

Yes, at least I could see and learn signing and lip-reading, but music would be a loss
Blind or in a wheelchair?

[Maryd.]

Yes, would hate to lose music, actually I am listening to it right now and the family think I am nuts, dancing around, while sitting down and bouncing around and singing. My poor family.
Blind. One can always get a seeing eye dog. But to bound to a wheelchair for life. I don't know if I would cope.
Same?

[Henry P]

I think I'd prefer being in a wheelchair. I could still get about and do things
deaf or diabetic?

[Maryd.]

Diabetes can be controlled.
Home alone: Sing out loud or work quietly?

[Henry P]

I like music on most of the time. It doesn't disturb me
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Love it... I love to sing and move. It brightens up my sad days and makes my happy days happier.
Rest: Have a siesta or sit and read?

[Henry P]

I like a nap, but I like reading too
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Read. I am too nervous to sleep during the day. Maybe in a few more years. But not at the moment, now I just read.

Queen size bed or King

[Henry P]

King
plain or colurful bed linen?

[Maryd.]

Oh, I am not fussed. So long as it is comfortable.
You?

[Henry P]

Same.

[Maryd.]

Let's talk scenario's.
A needy friend who spends hours on the phone with you, constantly dropping in, texting, emailing and wanting your presence all the time all the time. What do you do?

Do you brush him/her of gently as a one of occasion, because you like them and don't want to hurt them, or do you tell it as it is and hurt the persons feelings?

[Henry P]

They need help and support, so it would be wrong to brush them off. It would be best to help them find solutions to their problem

[Maryd.]

Another one...
A man and his wife are arguing publicly he hits her and she falls to the ground. What do you do...
Run to her assistance or ignore and walk away?

[Henry P]

Help her and ring the police

[Maryd.]

Another
If you were stuck in an elevator and you were told you wouldn't be helped for 4 hours and someone starts to hyperventilate
Do you try to find a way out or perform some medical treatment that may help them?

[Henry P]

I think I'd need to calm him down, as the hyperventilation is probably caused by anxiety

[Maryd.]

I hope you like these, as I find them better than boring words.

Ok, another,

If you were in a handy mart or shopping centre and someon pulled a gun at you and asked you to hand over your wallet, or he'll shoot you...
Give it to him or work out a way of talkin him out of it?

[Henry P]

just give him it- he is probably beyond reasoning with and I want to live

[Maryd.]

And again...

If you won a competition and had $20,000.00 to spend, but it had to be on a trip anywhere around the world, would you go to:
Rome or the Greek Islands?

[Henry P]

Greek islands, because I've been to Rome.
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Haven't been to either so would find that difficult to chose. However, I would like the Greek islands.

Laze on the beach or sit by a pool?

[Henry P]

laze on the beach
eat in restaurants on holiday or buy food that's ready to eat?

[Maryd.]

Well, would like to save a few pennies and spend it on other activities, so whatever is cheaper - ready made I guess and possibly a few trips to a nice restaurant.

Karaoke: Join in and sing a song or just laugh at everyone else?

[Henry P]

Just laugh, I think
earrings- clip-on or pierced?

[Maryd.]

No dear, I would sing... Yahoooo.

Don't wear jewellery, but cannot stand those silly clips on's. Yuk.

A good friend or a good romance?

[Henry P]

Both
Toilet tissue- dry or moist?

[Maryd.]

(I knew you say that H. Me too.)

Ok, I don't usually discuss my toilet habits on line H. However, will say both.

(Can't believe you asked that one?)

At parties are you an entertainer or do you like to be entertained?

[Henry P]

Sorry, my dear. After 1100 posts, it's not easy to come up with new sets of alternatives.
I feel a duty to make people laugh at parties in my home, but try to give others a chance as well
Forgive people easily or harbour grudges?
(Please say forgive)

[Maryd.]

Forgive... You anything.

Write poetry or novels?

[Henry P]

Aw, you're so sweet
Poetry. Novels are such large-scale constructions if you want to write something really good

[Maryd.]

I love my novel writing.

Left handed or right?

[Henry P]

I'm right - handed. But I unscrew jars etc with my left. Otherwise it just holds a fork ,changes gears and pulls on the handbrake.
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Well, I was left handed when I was young... I remember the nuns would rip the pencil and of my hand (not before slapping it though) and forcing me to write with my right hand... This little ritual went on for about 6 or 7 months, until I got sick of being whacked. My father told them that he believed (and a lot of the older Europeans believed this as well) that being left handed was a sign of dominance and a sign of dominance meant the child had evil in her heart. An old wives tale. But he believed it, so I was forced to change. Now I am right handed and have the most shocking hand writing one has ever seen.

You are on a full train: Do you walk to the other side of the carriage to grab a vacant seat or do you just stand, through the journey?

[Henry P]

My dad was left-handed too, but it was discouraged and he had to learn to use his right. My handwriting is awful too.
I'd tried to bag the seat, because I once stood from London to Doncaster (about 200 miles)

[Maryd.]

Yes, me too.
Dislike the most: Dentist or doctor?

[Henry P]

Neither, really, but I prefer not to visit either
Do you take anaesthetic when the dentist gives you a filling or brave it without?

[Maryd.]

No, I take the anaesthetic... Do you?

[Henry P]

Yes. I'm no hero. Why suffer?

[Maryd.]

I did however go through labour without an epidural, though, does that make me a hero.

[Henry P]

It sure does.
Dramatically raise the tax on cigarettes to reduce smoking or not?

[Maryd.]

Thanks... I'm a hero... Wahooo. At least to one person, anyway.

I don't smoke and have never really thought about it. But my father has a mild case of emphysema, so maybe I should say raise the tax. Although, I say if people want to smoke and kill off their lungs, that's their business.

Dramaticially raise the tax on alcohol, to stop the young from buying it or not?

[Henry P]

But they cost money and cause grief by being ill from tobacco and booze. I'd raise the price of booze too. But the government wants it cheap so poor people can afford to drink more and be grateful to them for cheap booze and cigs. They've done some careful maths over this.

[Maryd.]

Well, I believe it differs here in Oz. They have raised the tax on booze and tobacco. I don't think it makes a difference really. If the kids want the them, they will steal to get them.

Red wine or White?

[Henry P]

A good white is cheaper, but a good red is better

[Maryd.]

Let's drink to your health...

Set table for a meal: Tablecloth or no table cloth?

[Henry P]

Thanks, let's drink to yours but remember the tablecloth. I always have one

[Maryd.]

I always have a tablecloth, as well.

Out for dinner: A casual restaurant or a classy one.

[Henry P]

I don't eat out often, so I choose something good or different
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Truthfully I don't take well to restaurants. Not so much the restaurant, but the food... Who cooked it and how clean were his/her hands. Cleanliness in the kitchen and bathrooms are my utmost priority. Everything else, I can live with.
So if I eat out it will be upmarket. Otherwise I prefer to eat at home.
At home: Eat at the table or on the couch, with plate on your lap?

[Henry P]

at the table unless there's something really special on TV
Would you rather lose your PC or your mobile?

[Maryd.]

My mobile... I hate the thing. If l lost my pc. How would I keep my addiction of talking to my special friend... Sir Henry? I'd be terribly sad.:(

Lose your wallet or your passport?

[Henry P]

Aw, I was hoping you'd say that
Lose my passport, but not on holiday abroad. Or maybe even then. Losing a wallet containing credit card, cash card, etc is a proper hassle
Calculator or mobile to do sums?

[Maryd.]

Passport - like you say, not while abroad.
I prefer the calculator but when I am out of the house I use the phone.
At the shops: Stroll for hours and window shop or just get what you need and rush off home?

[Henry P]

Shopping is a mission- get what you want and get out quick
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Yes... My children hate shopping with me, because they work up a sweat everytime we go.
I got told by my butcher once, that he had never seen a woman shop so fast and that I should have a chat to his wife...

Food: Liver or kidney?

[Henry P]

Kidney, unless the liver is calf or rabbit
Girly men like Joihnny Depp or masculine men like young Sean connery?

[Maryd.]

Oh no, love a girly man... They are warm and affectionate.

Your wrestler type woman or a fine lady?

[Henry P]

A fine lady. I'd be scared to offend the wrestler

[Maryd.]

Hahahaha
Friday night: Watch a good movie or chat to a good friend?

[Henry P]

er... let me think. Chat to my sweet aussie friend

[Maryd.]

(A predictable answer for a predictable question)

Night out on town and rage or a quiet drink at a piano bar?

[Henry P]

a quiet drink
Same?

[Maryd.]

Yes, quiet drink. I think I am ready for quiet.

A quiet drink at the piano bar or in the warmth and privacy of one's own home?

[Henry P]

Both.
Long or short fingernails?

[Maryd.]

I like long, but right now with the painting, they are short.
Painted fingernails or natural

[Henry P]

I don't mind either. steph likes painting hers, but keeps them fairly short.

[Maryd.]

When I was younger and was a beauty consultant for Mary Kay. I had to advertise their nail polish... They had 10 colours, so I painted each nail, each colour. It worked and I always got sales.

[Henry P]

there's business in it, what with nailbars everywhere. i shall have mine done for my next interview

[Maryd.]

You are so funny...

Age gracefully or botox?

[Henry P]

Age gracefully. I'm not bad for my age, asnyway.
What about you?

[Maryd.]

Well, still wear make up and like to colour my hair... But no, to botox.
Barbecue or grill meat?

[Henry P]

Barbie tastes better, but the weather is unkind here
Do physical work on Sunday or not?

[Maryd.]

Do what one has to do to finish a job. (But not always. Do like to rest on Sunday)

For fun: Play card games or board games.

[Henry P]

I rest on Sundays
Board games- Scrabble, Monopoly, trivial Pursuit
Same?

[Maryd.]

Yes, board games... Scrabble is my favourite. But I like cherades... Not sure if that is the correct spelling...

[Henry P]

charades?
You can play that for free

[Maryd.]

And it is funny to see people acting without speech. It is was my favourite family game to play when I was young and living at my uncles home... My cousins were great at it.

[Henry P]

I've never really done it

[Maryd.]

Well you would enjoy it... It's fun and people are funny creatures when they have to act, not speak.

Musical instruments: Trumpet or flute?

[Henry P]

I 'm not very keen on either, but probably trumpet
Violin or piano?

[Maryd.]

Piano.

Drums or base guitar?

[Henry P]

I've always fancied playing bass. I'm good at keeping time, I think

[Maryd.]

I bet you'd play pretty good too.
Guitar or keyboard?

[Henry P]

Keyboard , I think. I can play one- handed

[Maryd.]

Yes... It's like the piano.

[Henry P]

Indian or African elephants?

[Maryd.]

(There's a difference?)
I have always thought of elephants a African. So African.

[Henry P]

Me too- the ones with big ears
tunnels or bridges?

[Maryd.]

Bridges, hate tunnels...

Exercise regime, given to you b a trainer or one you created yourself?

[Henry P]

My own- it's cheaper.
Why don't trainers train people's brains?

[Maryd.]

Yes. This is true. I did my own last year from using cans of beans for weights, to walking around the house daily. I watched what I ate and lost 16 kilos... I am so proud I trained my brain to take the plunge.

[Henry P]

Hangover or food poisoning?

[Maryd.]

Hangover... I hate food poisoning.

Totally angry: Drink until you drop or just cry?

[Henry P]

Neither, really, just take my mind off it and sleep
same?

[Maryd.]

It has to be really sad, usually a death, otherwise. I just keep my mind occupied, but the times that I have been at my wits end, I have had a drink until I dropped. Now I just cry.

[Henry P]

When you're depressed, do you get drunk or go bed and sleep it off?

[Maryd.]

No, dear I used to drink a lot, but over the past 6 months I have eased. I still have a few glasses of wine on a friday night... But that's it... It's too expensive and to addictive. So I don't do it as much anymore now I just sleep.

[Henry P]

I just want to sleep when I'm sad

[Maryd.]

I just want to sleep when I'm sad

I guess it's the best cure; sleep.

[Henry P]

It may be a natural reaction and an escape from reality, too

[Maryd.]

When I want to escape from reality... I write. Reality comes out in my writing and I re-read my dilema... It's a vicious circle.

[Henry P]

I can only write when the feeling comes, the poetic trance

[Maryd.]

Write and publish or write and hide your work away?

[Henry P]

Neither, because I'm not sure my work would be accepted for publication yet

[Maryd.]

But your work is good, my dear sir... Well the few that I have read here is anyway.

[Henry P]

I'm not sure I have enough poems that are in the favoured style

[Maryd.]

Excuses, excuses... You're just so good, your frightened they might just get accepted.

[Henry P]

No. i'd be overjoyed. i'd have to tone it down to fit the prevailing subtle style. and how many people buy poetry?

[Maryd.]

I would...

[Henry P]

Thanks, my dear

[Maryd.]

Any time...

Living elsewhere: France or Rome?

[Henry P]

Rome. Italy seems to have more character than France
same?

[Maryd.]

I had to chose those too. I love Italy, because it's my family's home... But I have always wanted to live in France... Argh! This is doing my head in... I spend 6 months in each.:)

[Henry P]

Sounds good to me. Where in France? Paris, the coast, the countryside, the Alps?

[Maryd.]
