Surveyage in The season for arachnids. Autumn 2016

Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet?

There are many, many politicians. Despite being a pacifist, seeing two politicians really makes me want to punch them. Of course, being a pacifist i can only be referring to Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. These two men engender hate and mistrust far too much, in a world which really could do with a lot more love, kindness, understanding and acceptance. They make me feel very sad, those two men.

How do you flush the toilet in public?

Usually with the flush… I’m about to wash my hands!

I feel incredibly unsafe without it.

The male Avon model… Although there Is a photo of him in this year’s Christmas catalogue, wearing a pair of snowman underpants, that is just utterly hilarious. He obviously feels the same way as he’s obviously trying not to laugh!

No, but my ankles often crack in the first length of swimming and my knees crack whenever I squat.

Apart from cheesy joke songs? I’d say Chris de Burg Lady in Red. I do have a very good reason for this but I’m not going to go into it here.

I don’t know. I’m in the bath and the CDs are downstairs. There are a lot of them downstairs though. In the car I have Nine Inch Nails but will have to take that out since I’ll have the girls in the car today!

What things can always be found in your refrigerator?

Milk, cheese, eggs, butter and salad items. I didn’t need to change this from the last person!

At the moment they’re purple, the other set are bright pink and purple satin.

No.

What are your favorite sayings?

Let’s go diem the carpe, as said by Flint Lockwood in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
