1. What year did you get your first mobile phone? - 1995 - an analogue brick
2. I feel out of the loop when.. - this is a permanent state of being; I'm a mushroom. It's one reason I like facebook; I might have a chance of knowing who is going out with / marrying / divorcing whom.
3. A song you like the lyrics to - how am I meant to pick this!
4. Something you won't miss about Winter - getting up in the cold to go to the gym.
5. Something you WILL miss about it - the long nights and the cold (although I'm looking forward to going swimming again).
Steve-Oh yeah the bills be big in our place too. Electric blankets,electric heaters,night lights.. bad.

Ruth-there's nothing like a snug bed. We;ve got an electric blanket, and climbing in at bed time is up there with the great joys of life.
Amy-I too will miss the freedom of not worrying about the state of my legs
Laetitia- That's what makes me occassionally consider joining Facebook. I often feel out of the loop not being on.

Ahh Ben, feeling like crap, had a bad day, yelled at someone I was helping, and then the quiz - it makes it all better! thank you!
Hope your move goes well.

5. Lots. Winter is my favourite season.
Soph- I like that hymn too. I also love the Lamentations bit that it quotes. One of the few things I've bothered to memorize.
Georgina-Thanks, and sorry you had a crumby day. i hope today's a better one. So.. do their little winter coats now hang on little ferret coathangers during the warmer months?
Maso-I recently got caught in a group of people discussing programming. I suddenlt felt like a 5 yr old listening to his parents conversation.
Beth-Snow seems so romantic to me, as I've never seen it. But I guess that would wear of if I saw it day in, day out.
Nathan-I think Winter being your favourite season proves what I've long suspected. That you and me, though friends, are the opposites of each other.
