I have been tagged to do a meme, and, as is my way, I have decided to do it immediately – granted I have postponed it for nearly a month… but this is as close to ‘immediately’ that I could get. Thank you Mr Nikos for tagging me!!
Okay…. this is complicated….I have to give four answers to four questions, which are:-
1. What is your favourite food?
2. What are your favourite drinks?
3. Places you’ve been?
4. Names that you’re known by?
FOOD WOT I LIKE:-
1) Chips
2) Potatoes
3) Cake
4) Biscuits
I am a cheap date.
DRINKS WOT I LIKE:-
1) Whiskey
2) Irish Coffee
3) Calypso Coffee
4) Irish Cream Coffee
Not that cheap a date.
PLACES I HAVE BEEN:-
1) The King’s Arms
2) The Hung Drawn and Quartered
3) Dirty Dick’s
4) The Crypt, Deptford
WOT PEOPLE CALL ME:-
1) Ms Scarlet
2) Snug
3) Frustrating
4) Impossible
If anyone would like to join me in some Fourplay then please feel free to do so. And, because it is THAT time of year, I will finish with a tune….

Snug? That would be on account of the fur-lined bovver boots, I suppose.

Good Afternoon, Mr Batarde. Maybe it was Slug??? Either way, I feel we should probably gloss over the ‘Name’ section…. and maybe the other three sections… probably best to just watch the video 🙂

I think alcohol and caffeine balance each other…. one sedates and the other, in excess, gives me the jitters.

Ooh, we do like our starchy food, don’t we?! And it saves on the expense of buying starch spray for blouse collar &cuffs, and the like – I don’t know about you, but I just breathe on on the offending item of apparel, give it a once over with the iron, and it’s fit for a queen!
I’m curious – do you go to those places in that order?

Good tip about the starch breath, Mr D!!
Oh dates….. more dates… The Hung Drawn might be a prune, but it is definitely within my old stomping ground…. and stomp I did, passing Dirty Dicks every day to and from work… but I only went in there once or twice.
Who hasn’t been in The King’s Arms??? Anytime, any place, anywhere.
The Crypt was definitely summer 1984…. I was not dressed for the occasion. The memory embarrasses me to this day.

There has been an unintentional misunderstanding; but a pleasant one. I have lived in the US mid west for thirty plus years. At first I went back to Australia every couple of years; and then that grew to three, and then four years. I just returned from the fatal shore; it had been six plus years since I had been back home. I also was looking for a spare room in which to dwell.
Yours faithfully
