7. I'll play:
1. What's in your wallet? -- ID card, credit card, medical insurance card, various business cards, a little bit of a rosary; money will be filled according to upcoming events.

2. What's the biggest mistake you ever made at work? -- I accidentally dleted a whole day's work once. Since I'm my own boss, I spent the night being mad at myself. Then I had a beer. :)

3. Onion rings or french fries? -- I like both.

4. What's the dumbest TV show you love? -- I don't watch dumb tv shows.

5. What's the trashiest book you love? -- Uh, must be some Star Trek manual.

6. How do you handle it when you have to get along with people you can't stand? -- Compassion.

7. Does everyone HAVE to like you? -- No, I'm not offended if not liked.

8. Is it ok to keep a snake as a pet? -- I had a few when I was young. Honestly, I evolved since then. To keep exotic animals caged for your own pleasure is just adding to the extinct list. No animal lover should do it.

9. If you had the time and the money, what's the first thing you'd change or fix in your home? -- Bathroom; installing a new bathtub/shower.

10. If you suddenly had just enough money to leave town and change your life (leaving everyone and everything except young children) would you do it? -- No. Because I don't have young children. If I had, my answer would be different. ;)

11. LOL to 10.
Best answer so far to 6.

And I have the same answer to 8. I had Boas and Pythons as a kid. Eventually I gave them to the zoo. But they belong free.

13. They do belong free.
I took over some snakes when I was around 10 years old, because the owner showed everyone and got tired of them. I had a ball python, some corn snakes and a few mores, mostly all form relatively young people who got tired of them. Then I even had tarantulas and scorpions from the same kind of people who had exotic pets just to show off. They all weren't threated nicely, and the python, my biggest one, soon died because of it.

As I said, owning exotic animals just adds them to the extinct list. If there's a buyer, there's a market.

10. Here we go then.
Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 04:05 PM by tjwmason
1. What's in your wallet?

£20 cash, a couple of bank and loyalty cards, a load of receipts and rail tickets going back goodness knows how far, some stamps, and an image of Our Lady of Sorrows.

2. What's the biggest mistake you ever made at work?

I once messed up somebody's expenses by a factor of 1000 - I think they were going to get about £300,000 in one week, it was noticed before anything else happened.

3. Onion rings or french fries?

Neither please - though occasionally proper British chips (like French fries but thicker so they actually taste of potato).

4. What's the dumbest TV show you love?

Wife Swap :hide: though only the British one.

5. What's the trashiest book you love?

Books are about the only place I don't "do" trashy. I jump straight from architectural history to "Winnie the Pooh".

6. How do you handle it when you have to get along with people you can't stand?

I can be a perfect hypocrite, they have no idea.

7. Does everyone HAVE to like you?

No - the fewer people the better.

8. Is it ok to keep a snake as a pet?

If that's what floats your boat and you treat it properly. But I don't think I'd have one personally.

9. If you had the time and the money, what's the first thing you'd change or fix in your home?

A bigger desk (which in reality would just mean more clutter spread over a larger area) - gorgeous dark-wood antique jobby.

10. If you suddenly had just enough money to leave town and change your life (leaving everyone and everything except young children) would you do it?

No. I love the place I live.
