To be a bit naughty - I’m happy with that! :slight_smile:

Thank you. I’m happy about this too.

Tell me when it will be out! I even now know it’d be interesting to read!

Thank you for the so much trust, but I am not a good business person. I might have great ideas but when it comes to make them true or someone makes them true before me already or they decay. So giving the chance to two men mentioned here. :slight_smile: .

Was directed to this by an email link and saw your comment about playing for Australia. My first thought was what a liar lol! Then saw your last question and answer… (For info, I am Peter’s long-suffering sister! :smile: )

1. What’s your current favourite ear-worm?/what can’t you stop humming?

Flipping Wuthering Heights by the unusually wafty Kate Bush. It’s all these blooming gales - as soon as I see the trampoline fly out the front gate I start humming…

2. Tell us one unexpected/unusual thing about yourself?

I can’t leave a Rubix Cube undone.

3. When were you most famous?
There’s a picture of me galloping a very nice horse through a water jump on the cover of a horsey magazine with a big grin on my face from about 20 years ago.

4. You’ve got the capital and support to start a new business, what do you do?

@gruntius - you can have all my imaginary money for this, it’s a lovely idea.

  1. What’s the most delicious thing on your menu this weekend?

So as this was posted on Friday, And we are now on Tuesday, I can tell you what was on the menu, which was lots of nattering with the lovely SSIW Oxford lot. The food was nice too but it was the people that made it.

6. What was the last thing you watched on stage or screen?

Yep. Me either. I’ll let you know when I’ve actually left the house.

Make up your own Friday Five question and answer it…

Can anyone possibly make up a really, really good reason to have a take away for tea tonight so that I don’t even have to think of what to eat? And can you choose the dish too so I don’t even have to do that bit?
Indecision prevents me from answering my own question. Sorry!

How about 'cos it could help to keep one or two in work in these straitened times? :slightly_smiling_face:

Why not add some excitement by just giving the takeaway a price and asking them to surprise you with something! :grinning:

Maybe not for tonight, and it’s not takeaway, but next time you have a tin of tuna, a tin of condensed mushroom soup and 3 packets of crisps in your cupboard, you can try “Tuna Glop”

  1. Flake the tuna into a bowl (with a little of the oil unless it’s in brine)
  2. Empty soup into bowl and stir
  3. Scrunch all but half a packet of crisps and stir into bowl.
  4. Tip into oven proof dish and sprinkle remaining crisps (scrunched) on top
  5. Bake at 180C/350F/453K for about 20 minutes and finish under a grill (or a salamander if you’re a Michelin chef :smile:)

Serve with frozen or tinned peas (fresh are not as good :wink:)

This has made me wonder how many other sibling relationships are here on this forum or father/daughter ones etc. Are there other Lewis’s, I wonder…!

  1. Cate Le Bon Oh am Cariad
  2. Probably the thing that confuses must youngsters is the number of jobs I’ve done : Cartographic Draughtsman, Telephone Engineeer, Courier Rider, Computer Programmer, Project Manager, Plumber, Barista too mention but quite a few
  3. I was caught on tv Wales v France this year
  4. I think we need a credible organisation to challenge abuse of the media by the powerful and the influential
  5. I really enjoy cooking and I don’t like cooking unless it’s delicious. But don’t look if you aren’t carnivorous. Last weekend’s highlight was a sort of stirfry come stew involving chicken breast, lardons and lots of veg.
  6. Blues Power at Farnham Maltings. If they turn up near you go and see them
  7. If you weren’t going to work on Monday what would you do? If head of on my motorbike and find somewhere peaceful to contemplate the number 42.

This sounds like one of those genius meals invented by hardy Newfoundlanders that helped them endure Harsh Winters! I approve! It’s a particularly strong name too :smile:

A ‘nunnery of jobs’? You did all these things while you were a nun?

I’m so sad you corrected the spelling. A nun could, of course, do all those jobs.

How coincidental – I only have one of each (liver, spleen, pancreas), too! It’s encouraging to know you have not had a problem because of this.
