The Question Thread

Jimmy Gough · Post by **Jimmy Gough** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 3:59 pm

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?

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:05 pm

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

Jimmy Gough · Post by **Jimmy Gough** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:07 pm

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:15 pm

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

Yes, without a second's hesitation. And to Dinos' question, you wouldn't sound smart with NEOTERIC when your opponent offers REJECTION

I would also say yes to this question.

Jimmy Gough · Post by **Jimmy Gough** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 7:40 pm

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.

Who is your favourite Toy Story character?

As my children are too old for Toy Story, and they haven't made me a grandfather yet, I'll have to say Buzz Lightyear, as he's the only one I know.

What would you do if you were offered the chance to be a contestant on Deal Or No Deal?

I'd jump at the chance, although having 3 weeks off school isn't happening.

Here's a random one:

Who is the most sexually attractive Countdown contestant of all time?

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 12:37 pm

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

Yes, her name was, and probably still is, Denise McHale.

Anna Southgate and Marie Hayden are also worthy of mention as far as attractive contestants go

But Dinos DID ask a question:

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."

Edit: Jimmy, I've since noticed that it was YOU who started this thread! Some thanks I get for making a joke to try and get the Q&As back on track!

If any of them is particularly brainy, they're hiding it well (probably wisely at this stage). But I suspect Ruth Lorenzo would do rather well.

well, I don't think Ruth's English is good enough to do well, even though she's probably most intelligent. Hmmmmmm....good question......I'd go Diana.
