Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson


Unusually difficult Friday Five today…

1. If you could only choose 1 cd to ever listen to again, what would it be?
ONE?! Why do I get five people, and only one CD? Can I swap some people for some more CDs? One CD… I’d have to choose something that wouldn’t eventually get on my nerves, I suppose. Either The Marriage of Figaro, or Mozart’s Requiem then. Or Dido and Aeneas. Oh, right, choose… um… Figaro, then. It’s got a good beat.

2. If you could only choose 2 movies to watch ever again, what would they be?
1. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead would be number one. Always.
2. The other one would have to be Hard Day’s Night, probably, although I’m sure I’d change my mind a thousand times if I really thought it through.

3. If you could only choose 3 books to read ever again, what would they be?
The problem with this is that if you choose books you’ve already read, there’s no surprise or pay off. If you choose books you haven’t read, you’re taking quite a gamble. So. I’d choose -
1. The complete works of Agatha Christie (unless that’s cheating, which I think it is)
2. A collection of Jeeves and Wooster stories
3. The Ring of Bright WaterTrilogy. I’ve started that book about 6 times, but never got through it, so I think I’d probably manage it, since with these restrictions there’s no longer much choice in my life, reading-wise.

I’d like to also smuggle along the complete Lord Of The Rings, if possible. Again, something I haven’t read, and I think I might be the only blogger in the Western Hemisphere that hasn’t. I’d like to see what all the fuss is about, but I just don’t have the dedication or concentration span.

4. If you could only choose 4 things to eat or drink ever again, what would they be?
1. Crisps. If only one kind - cheese and onion McCoys crisps.
2. Potatoes, in general. I’m Irish, you know. Restricting myself to potatoes, I’ve obviously learnt nothing from the famine.
3. Toast and marmite.
4. Lord, I’d better include a drink. Um… very chilled water. And a soda stream, so that I can make cheap fizzy pop with the very chilled water.

5. If you could only choose 5 people to ever be/talk/associate/whatever with ever again, who would they be?
Good God. People I already associate with? That’s mental, that question. If I leave anyone out here, I’ll be crucified, so I’m not going to answer that, because it’s a risk to my well being. Although coming up with the answer in my head has been very entertaining.

[It's a slow day at work...]
