i-con 12 is on the way. I promise.

I saw this form on someone else's blog. and thought it might be fun. Well. It seemed a good idea at the time.

First Name: David. Day-vid. As in David Steele. It’s that simple.
Were you named after anyone?
I don’t remember that far back. I’m sure there must have been a baby born before me.
Do you wish on stars?
Only once.
When did you last cry?
Once a month when I’ve handed back the kids and got in the car.
Do you like your handwriting?
No. But I recognise it.
What is your favourite lunchmeat?
What? That’s like “what is your favourite cavity wall insulation?” How can anyone have a favourite lunchmeat?
What is your most embarrassing CD?
One that’s full of my own music. What was I thinking?
Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell?
I don’t think I’ve ever swore not to tell a secret. But I tend to keep my mouth shut when needed.
Do looks matter?
In my experience, nowhere near as much as money
How do you release anger?
I’m still trying.
Where is your second home?
Surely that’s a grammatical error. Shouldn’t it be “Where was your second home?” Anyway. I spend over 70 hours in the car each month, just short of 200 hours at work, and about 30 with the kids. Home is where ever I’m happy, which is most of the time.
Do you trust others easily?
Only once.
What was your favourite toy as a child?
Other people’s.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
You think?

Eternal Sunshine, Cube (this week, at least.)
What are your nicknames?
I don’t have one now. I’ve been “Tommy” and “Squelch”.
Would you bungee jump?
If sufficiently motivated.
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
No. But I do before putting them back on.
Do you think that you are strong?
Half the time.
What is your favourite ice cream flavour?
Vanilla. Sad but true
What are your favourite colours?
On a woman: white. On me: brown. For a fruit pastel: green
What are you listening to right now?
Distant sheep saying “baa” and the occasional sound of far off traffic.
Last thing you ate?
A peach.
If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Midnight blue.
What is the weather like right now?
Drizzle and mist. I can’t see the field today.

Mrs Pierce from Moorview Way wanting to know when her house would be finished.
How are You Today?
Coming to terms with it
Favourite Drink?
Another (Gin and Tonic, if you’re buying).

No.

Seconds… Or - cherry tomatoes, olives, olive oil, in fact just about anything Italian.

Much ado about nothing.

Nov 5th (Bonfire night in the UK).

There. That was fun now, wasn’t it?

Meanwhile, back to i-con... Writes: "In the end we settled for what we could get. I’ll let you work out the mechanics yourself, but it is at least physically possible, as long as neither of you make any sudden movements or get too excited."

Oh, the suspense.
