The Question Thread
Hmmm I thought another way we could all get to know each other a bit more (well most of you know each other anyway) but I thought I'd start a question thread.
So I start with a question, then you answer and ask another question, etc, etc.
OK, I'll go first
Would you cut off one of your fingers for 1 and a half million pounds?

Do I get to pick the finger? And can I be surrounded by a team of surgeons ready to reattach it?

Then no. Money isn't everything, and I'd have the stigma of "mutilated himself for money" for the rest of my life!
My turn: You're on Countdown with the selection JCNRTIEEO and you see 2 8s. Do you declare
a) ERECTION for fun
or
b) NEOTERIC to sound smart

Re: The Question Thread
Well the idea was somebody replies to the original question and posts another, they reply to the next question and post another, then somebody else replies to that question and also post another question and so on. So there's always another crazy question. I'll start again. Hmmmm.

Cant remember her name but I think she was the last contestant of series 57. She was pretty fit, and came across well on camera. Jason Cullen beat her in his 4th game I believe. Also snails on face lady and Debbi F are in pretty close contention

But I'll leave that one for the next person to reply to, and instead answer Jim's. No I wouldn't kill anyone, except maybe Jimmy for not using a smillie after what he said about me which left me unsure how to take it... Sorry if I'm not to your liking, but that's the risk you take when you're open like me, and partake and divulge. I clicked on your name to see your profile, and there's not one bit of info there, so I'll not comment back, apart from to say, as they do on the X Factor "You're entitled to your opinion."Dinos Sfyris wrote:Who dya reckon would fare best on Countdown out of this series' X Factor contestants?
