I haven't seen a copy of this questionaire in my e-mail yet, but then if AAC sent me the questions she probably sent them to the eddress that I access via the library and won't see again until this evening. However I'm going to have a got at answering it now, taking the questions from other people's replies, anyway...

1. Full name: Simon Reeve... No middle name[s], because my parents decided that this would make fitting my full name into the relevant boxes on forms easier. (Although as they both preferred their middle names to their first ones I'm surprised that they didn't think giving me a choice too would be a good idea...)

2. Colour of trousers: medium blue.

3. Curently listening too: Duke Ellington's Orchestra.

4. Last four digits of phone number: 1904.

5. Last thing eaten: a vegetable pasty (bought at a bakers' on the way to work, eaten as breakfast after I got here).

6. Colour, if = a crayon: probably a darkish shade of blue.

7. Current weather locally: Overcast, light drizzle with occasional (i.e. when I have to go outside...) heavier showers.

8. Last person spoken to on phone: Somebody or other on work-related business.

9. The first thing that I notice about members of the opposite sex: Approximate age (Just a child, way too young, too young, about my age, a bit older, quite a bit older, very old...)

10. Favourite book: There are too many wonderful reads to choose just one favourite...

11. How I am today: i've just read WOLP! Need you ask...? :-)

12. Favourite drink, non-alcoholic: 'Options' (Cocoa-type drink with added flavourings), in either the 'Turkish Delight' variety or the 'Irish Cream' one.

13. Favourite drink, alcoholic: Southern Comfort.

14. Favourite sport[s]: This question does not compute.

15. Hair colour: Currently medium-brown, but lightened by increasing amounts of grey... I was apparently born with a small amount of reddish fluff but that quickly fell out: When my "proper" hair grew it was originally so fair that it was almost white, but darkened as I grew up (still fair when I left school, but light brown by the time that I finished university). If I try to grow a beard then nowadays it comes out as a patchy mixture of brown, red and grey... so I'm currently clean-shaven.

16. Eye colour: lightish blue.

17. Contacts: No, glasses... I got used to them in childhood, and have never switched over because (a) glasses are now part of my self-image and (b) I'd be too worried about losing contacts.

18. Siblings: One brother, 40 at the end of this month.

19. Favourite food: (See question 10.)

20. Temper: Irritable when stressed (although the anti-depressants helped with this...), may lose temper badly if persistently contradicted by some idiot who obviously doesn't understand anything about the matter under discussion.

21. Last movie watched: at the cinema = Dick Tracy (or was The Rocketeer a more recent release?), on video = Enter The Dragon.

22. Favourite day: 29th February (for its rarity).

23. Too shy to ask someone out: Yes.

24. Scary movies or happy endings: Happy endings.

25. Summer or winter: Summer (if it isn't TOO hot).

26. Hugs or kisses: Hugs.

27. Relationships or one-night-stands: In theory relationships, in practice (for a long time) neither.

28. Chocolate or vanilla: Isn't condensed milk an option?

29. Do I want my friends to write back?: Of course I do...

30. TEA, LIAGB or WOLP: All of the above (and WOLP if I really have to choose... Or is this question about which one I'd use for introducing new readers to the Great Panjandrum's works?)

31. Which Nextian character is most like me: I regretfully suspect that it's Bowden Cable.

32. Lodgings, one room in a shared flat (shared kitchen, bathroom).

33. Books that I'm currently reading: WOLP (to catch bits that I missed first time around), HP5.

34. On mouse pad: Mouse, over picture/text advertising computer supplier.

35. Favourite board game: Scrabble.

36. What I did last night: Read WOLP, then went to sleep (alone).

37. Favourite smells: freshly-baked bread, Honeysuckle flowers, soil after the rain... oh, and frying mushrooms.

38. First thought in the morning: Do I HAVE to get up today?

40. Favourite sound: Good music (probably either Baroque or Jazz, dpending on current mood).
