Someone forwarded me this meme via email, so instead of mailing it back I’m posting it here.
When was the last time you…
- …ate a takeaway meal?
- I had a Subway 6″ for lunch today, and a double chicken burger from the local takeaway last night. That said I do try to cook for myself…
- …got drunk?
- Friday night. It was the first time for a couple of weeks, though.
- …ate meat?
- Lunchtime.
- …ate in a restaurant?
- Tuesday, with work colleagues. Had a very nice curry.
- …ate at McDonalds?
- Not recently enough for me to remember. Did eat at Burger King a couple of weeks ago though.
- …watched a movie?
- Last night – went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Tim Burton one). Was very impressed – the visuals were superb and Johnny Depp played Willy Wonka really rather well.
- …rented a video/DVD?
- Not in many, many years. Might do again now that NetFlix-esque services are launching here in Britain.
- …gave money to charity?
- Can’t remember exactly. The last big donation I made was to the British Red Cross in January as part of their Tsunami relief fund, but I’ve donated either smaller amounts of money or my time to a number of organisations since.
- …spent a lot of money?
- When I bought my Mac Mini.
- …wore clean underwear?
- This morning. I always wear clean underwear every day.
- …bought some new clothes?
- Not recently, though I did get some new clothes for my birthday in May. Probably the last thing I bought was a Unite Against Facism T-shirt in early May.
- …read a book?
- I read Developing Feeds with RSS & Atom and Hacking Movable Type while waiting for my Mac to be delivered. Both worth buying if you’re into feeds or blogging with MT.
- …read a newspaper?
- I read the Observer today, hence the abundance of Observer articles appearing in my sideblog.
- …went skinny-dipping?
- Never.
- …went bungee-jumping?
- Again, never.
- …went to another country?
- If Scotland counts, then last month, but otherwise the last time I went abroad was to France in 2003. Next planned trip is probably Ireland in November.
- …lied to someone?
- A white lie earlier in the week.
- …betrayed a friend?
- A few months back. I don’t know if that person knows yet. Or if she even cares.
- …snogged someone of the opposite sex?
- A while ago.
- …snogged someone of the same sex?
- Never. I don’t really swing that way.
- …met a celebrity?
- If Ben Hammersley accounts, then him at Open Tech. If not, then the late, great Richard Whiteley back in November. On a train, of all places.
- …smoked a cigarette?
- Never. Smoking isn’t particularly compatible with my asthma.
- …took drugs?
- Never.
- …went to the library?
- I’m in one now.
- …stole something?
- Friday night. Wasn’t my idea.
- …played Solitaire?
- Yesterday.
- …watched TV?
- Yesterday.
- …made a difficult decision you didn’t regret?
- See the betraying a friend question.
Now add your own question and answer it:
- …been genuinely scared?
- I was walking home late at night on my own and a gang of youths starting shouting racist abuse at me. I was worried they were going to come after me and beat me up.

I can’t imagine the new Willy Wonka film to be as good as the old one, a classic. And how can Johnny Depp play an old man?

I heard his portrayal was ‘souless’.

I thought it was great, if a little bit Michael Jackson.

There must be a story behind the betrayal thing, so tell us!
