Love, like, hate or dislike

[Maryd.]

yes like weddings I've been to many. (Big family)
Births?

[Henry P]

I loved my daughter's

[Maryd.]

yes I loved my children's

[Henry P]

religious relics?

[Maryd.]

never really thought about it. You?

[Henry P]

They're interesting as curios- I've seen embalmed saints and chains supposedly put on St Peter in Rome. Dislike if they're a con, as the chains were

[Maryd.]

I dislike anything or anyone that is a con.
Teenagers?

[Henry P]

like if they're nice people, like any age group, though there's a lot of hormone sto contend with. I was never areal problem for my parents, and neither is Steph

[Maryd.]

My daughter gave us some stress in he last year of primary school. But she settled 2 year ago.

[Henry P]

good, but we never know what life has in store for us

[Maryd.]

fingers crossed, nothing. But one never knows?
Horses?

[Henry P]

like, but I've never ridden one. have you?

[Maryd.]

Yes and was bucked off one because i was with a little boy at the time and he panicked and started kicking the horse and the horse lost the plot.

[Henry P]

going to church?

[Maryd.]

I don't mind. The kids have a special youth mass tomorrow night. There's going to be singing and clapping. A very different kind of mass.

[Henry P]

I stopped going while you-know-who was being weird, but I'll go with her tomorrow for diplomacy's sake

[Maryd.]

Then you are a bigger person than me. I don't go anywhere with 'you know who' unless it's for the kids sake. Actually, 'you know who' isn't going tomorrow

[Henry P]

Does he go to catholic church or Greek?

[Maryd.]

he only goes to Catholic church when his kids are doing something important, otherwise he goes to to Greek Orthodox church.

[Henry P]

football on TV?

[Maryd.]

No darling I don't like football. Unless you are speaking of soccer, then I don't mind it.
Beauty contests on TV?

[Henry P]

they don't do them here any more. They're demeaning to women, I suppose, but women have found new ways of demeaning themselves while pretending they're achieving something

[Maryd.]

sad. i didn't mind them. I always wanted to look as beautiful as those women. But I did laugh at their dumb answers to important questions.

[Henry P]

are they still shown on Oz TV?

[Maryd.]

yes Miss Universe or Miss World... Whatever it's called.
Parties?

[Henry P]

like, if they're not dull or wild.
eye shadow?

[Maryd.]

I wear it some times. Not every day though. It's not my preferred make up.
Eye liner?

[Henry P]

I stopped wearing it when an interviewer said I looked like alice Cooper.
But it has its place to make women look even nicer

[Maryd.]

Ok. I'm going to hope that was a joke Henry.
Blusher/rouge

[Henry P]

like, on the right occasion.
lipstick outside the pink/red range?

[Maryd.]

No darling if it's not good old fashioned red. Then it's no good to me. I have been known to year a light brown but I'm a red girl.

[Henry P]

what do you recommend for me?

[Maryd.]

Hey my dear, I thought you said you are not a tranny... Never mind... If I must. Hot red, a very hot red, looks lovely. Although from your photo, I see your skin is pale, if this is so, then a soft pink should do the trick.

[Henry P]

thanks for the advice, my dear.
What about men in uniform?

[Maryd.]

Love a man in uiniform...
(Quickly - go buy one)
Same

[Henry P]

No, I like women in uniform, my dear- nurses, french maids, policewomen

[Maryd.]

I can be french... Bonjour...

[Henry P]

ah, tu parles francais, ma cherie

[Maryd.]

No... Just a few words from school... La port, Le chian, I think the spelling is correct - the door, the dog. So funny.

[Henry P]

Formula 1 racing?

[Maryd.]

No, my husband likes it and he takes my son to it and thinks he likes it but he doesn't

Motocycle racing?

[Henry P]

Also boring
bottled water?

[Maryd.]

It has a funny taste, but I drink it, if I am out.
I usually boil tap water now.
Fizzy drinks?

[Henry P]

like on occasion, but it's a way of making money out of CO2

[Maryd.]

Reading?

[Henry P]

love.
same?

[Maryd.]

Love of course.
Exercise?

[Henry P]

dislike. I can't get in the habit of it

[Maryd.]

Don't make it a habit, make it a reason to stay heathy. I move all the time and classify that as excercise. whilst waiting for kettles to boil or pasta to cook, I am stepping from side to side, make it accidental exercise.

[Henry P]

good idea

[Maryd.]

When skype is up and running, i will get you fit. I promise.

[Henry P]

Guinea fowl?(to eat)

[Maryd.]

Call me daft but I don't know what that is?

[Henry P]

i cooked it today. Like chicken, but slightly smaller and yum

[Maryd.]

Nice. Like chicken, so will probably like it.
Fast cars?

[Henry P]

like but can't afford

[Maryd.]

Don't like fast cars, they make me dizzy.
Motorbikes?

[Henry P]

like the look of some, but they look scary to ride

[Maryd.]

I love a good Harley Davidson.

[Henry P]

Private schools?

[Maryd.]

If they serve their purpose then fine. But some are leeches.

[Henry P]

They often also create a sense of superiority in the children

[Maryd.]

Yes. True.
Libraries?

[Henry P]

like. but I haven't used one for years

[Maryd.]

I'm always at the library.
Non fiction books?

[Henry P]

Will you keep going once you have your new laptop?

[Maryd.]

Yes my dear. I have children.

[Henry P]

I stopped going once Steph reached grammar school, and rely on used books from charity shops now

[Maryd.]

charity shops?

[Henry P]

Yes. Charities like Oxfam, RSPCA have shops in every town selling used goods. I've found many good books at a fraction of the new price.

[Maryd.]

Spa baths?

[Henry P]

Never had one but they sound good. Have you?

[Maryd.]

Yes. All those bubbles on your skin, you've got to try it. Only don't go to those shared spas. All those smelly people who don't believe in showers.

[Henry P]

So they like bubbles but not washing themselves?

[Maryd.]

Yes. So I don't in to the shared spas.

[Henry P]

steph went in the shared baths in Japan, but I think they're very clean there

[Maryd.]

Good. I refuse to go now. Once bitten, twice shy!

[Henry P]

you didn't get an infection or a rash?

[Maryd.]

No thank God. Just you could smell them before they got in. Pew.

[Henry P]

one new guy at the poetry pub was a bit rancid on Monday

[Maryd.]

Why? What happened?

[Henry P]

he needed a wash and sat down next to me. But he was nice and asked me to sign a copy of my poem

[Maryd.]

Aw, that was so cute.

Horse riding?

[Henry P]

never done, but i'd like to try

[Maryd.]

Writing non fiction?

[Henry P]

I've never tried. Have you?

[Maryd.]

Yes, but I am useless at non fiction.

[Henry P]

It should be easier than making it all up

[Maryd.]

So they say, but I have a great imagination Henry and love to write fiction... It allows me to explore what I cannot have in real life.

[Henry P]

I find it much easier writing about real life

[Maryd.]

I've seen to much of real life to make me depressed. The only time I write about real life is in my poems.
Interenet providers.

[Henry P]

Dislike- the speeds are never what they claim, and every so often I have to ring up a man in India to get reconnected

[Maryd.]

Oh, don't you hate that. What happened to good old fashioned service from someone you understand.

[Henry P]

It's cheaper to have the call centres in India

[Maryd.]

Yes, but they don't understand you and you can't understand them. It drives me batty.

[Henry P]

I know they're based in poor countries but they cause unemployment here and in Oz

[Ike]

This doesn't look like a game anymore...it looks like a blog. :0)

[Maryd.]

This doesn't look like a game anymore...it looks like a blog. :0)

Roller bladding/roller skating?

[Henry P]

Never tried that either. Have you?

[Maryd.]

Have, but was useless at that too. When I take the kids roller bladding. I take a book and read, while they skate.

Jumpers with a hood?

[Henry P]

Haven't got any like that. Have you?

[Maryd.]

Yes, my children bought one for me, for Mother's Day last year. This year I have requested something, so I get something more practical.

[Henry P]

Do you know what they've got you?

[Maryd.]

Yes, I asked for a laundry basket wheelie cart... You put your basket in it and you can wheel it to where ever you want, without any bending and lifting. I have bruises all over my hips from knocking into walls whilst carrying the basket. Now, no more heavy lifting or bruises...
