3. The Seeker - watched it this morning whilst folding washing

4. damn - I consider it a swear word, so find it hard when other people use it.

1. You'd never find me reading... I was tossing up between Dan Brown and M&B and then found that Ruth and Amy have already said those. :-) Apart from those - the horoscope.

Ruth- That's a nice thing to do for V's Day.

And very true what you say about big brekky ingredients-- take one seemingly small ingredient out, and the whole premise crumbles, and just isn't the same. Every part plays an important role, even the humble mushroom.

Amy- I'm pro pash. I think I might use it more. Not out of spite to you, of course. Well, not entirely.

Christine-Yeah, flesh it out sounds a bit icky to me.

Laetitia- Yowza, you cut right to the chase there with your bad word!
ps- Happy Birthday!

Goldy- I like. I've heard bacon and maple syrup go well. I ought to give this a good go.

Izaac-Ah yes. Every Christian husband at some time must endure the six hours of pain, picnics and piano recitals that is Pride and Prejudice.

Tim-yeah, everything is someones oppinion. You don't have to give a little disclaimer every time you speak.

Soph-And you know, not just more ingredients, but more stress. You're trying to time the cooking of ten separate things,fretting over a hot stove. By the time it's ready to eat, I'm all hot and bothered and could just go some corn flakes or something.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Wendy- What is a big brekky? Oh, this brings me sadness. Toast, bacon,eggs,mushrooms,tomatoe,sausage,baked beans,hash brown. Brilliant.

Findo- Thanks for stopping by! What auditions are you talking about?

Maso- What unsettles you about the word 'fighting'?

Georgina-Yeah, for me those fantasy series feel like too big a commitment. Ten books in a series, all a million pages long.

Simone- Not whinging: the gift that keeps on giving.

Kristina- Yeah that counts! I don't like that word either.

Beth- Yeah I should be more business oriented, but that stuff sends me into a coma.

Sophg- How was the Road? Was it as bleak as everyones saying? Could I hack it?

maso said...

Benno ... 'Fighting' was the DVD I saw! It's about, well, fighting.

soph said...

Hey ben, it was very bleak... that's the perfect word to describe what it is.

It's ok though - if I could hack it, you can hack it. Speaking of hacking.... (there is some cannibalism!)

Ben McLaughlin said...

Maso- I totally knew that, I was just testing you.

Congratulations,you have passed the first of many difficult stages of testing.

Sophg- Cool, I'll give it a burl. Ick, man-meat!
