Funny I was just thinking about how much I love Portrait of a Lady today.

Let me check ....

brb

No I have never read a whole book digitally.

Portrait of a Lady, 582
Vanity Fair, 878
Clarissa, 1499
<<<---- Clarissa (lmao)


Sorry my phone died.

same q

I've definitely never read a novel digitally, but I think I've read at least a couple of works in full on Kindle (fairly short factual or autobiographical stuff, probably).

Do you like public holidays (they're called 'Bank Holidays' over here - we'll be getting another one for The Queen's funeral)?

I've read a lot of journals and articles online, but no complete novels or biographies. ^

I hate bank holidays and long weekends with a passion. I don't even like regular weekends.

We are getting a holiday too. Grrrr.


Did you watch Charles and Diana's wedding?

no i wouldn't, prob no tv at that time neither
i don't care for marriages and that sort of drama,
nah 1981; one of the worse years: my life in the underworld

same question

Yep.

Same q.

No. I don't even know when that happened.

Do you drink/like Earl Grey tea?

Yes, I do! I like most teas that aren't too earthy or bitter. I didn't drink earl grey for a long time, it was something I had as a kid, but then I saw it in the store one day and became nostalgic and bought it and now I have come to crave it every now and then and keep some in the cupboard always.

same q

It's fine. I normally drink just plain old English breakfast tea, or chai. I've had Lady Grey tea from Twinings, that was nice and fragrant. Assam tea is nice and strong too. Yeah, I like tea a lot.

Same question

Yes. I find it quite relaxing.

Have you ever gone camping, and did you enjoy it?

(Murihiku): I've never liked Earl Grey. I just drink supermarket own brand red label tea from Aldi or Asda, which is excellent.


(Where_am_I): No. Once went with the cub scouts to some sort of encampment, but we didn't stay overnight.


Do you drink fancy coffees like Macchiato or Mocha?

No, pretty much never. I drink italian lavazza crema e gusto -dark roast blend of arabica and robusto coffee at home from a simple vietnamese metal drip or a french press (if I want more than a single cup), with some oat milk. For me its the best quality coffee my local stores have for the price. The grind is maybe not ideal for these brewing methods and I get some grounds at the bottom of my cup but I have been procrastinating about getting a new rubber seal for my mocha pot so it has been a good compromise so far.

I've never really gone properly camping but I would love to. It's actually been a long dream of mine but I can't really afford to buy the gear because I'm pretty poor. I like to watch camping videos on youtube.

What tv show or movie have you watched the most times?

Box sets: Frasier, studio 60 on the sunset strip, the Office (UK) breaking bad, malcolm in the middle, the thick of it, Peep show, spaced and Dr who.

Movies: Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, LOTR, Deadpool, Millions, Trainspotting.

....and many more that I can't remember right now!

Same question.

Box sets: Six Feet Under, Flintstones, the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials, ER

Movies:
We rewatched Big Chill last night. I was surprised that I knew the dialogue almost verbatim.
I first saw it when I was about 15 and maybe about 8 times since.
I didn't realise how much it's stuck with me.

Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club - About 8 times each, maybe.

Dead Poets - About 5 times. It's too upsetting to do more.

The movies I've likely seen the most are It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Carol (1951 version).
I've seen them both every year of my life.
Oh and The Wizard of Oz I watch every Easter.


What are you procrastinating doing today?

I was going to post in this thread but can't be bothered.

Same Q

Keeping up with Duolingo; German and Spanish.
