Fifty Things

1. Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?
   Why lick the back? Isn't that the bit that's printed on, with the CD title & track list? I'd lick the front, if anything.
2. What's the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?
   2 years.
3. Ever been in a car wreck?
   Yes. I was stopped by a policeman who was directing traffic. Somehow the car behind didn't see any of this and ran into me at 40mph. Luckily the back of the car took all the impact and being a Volvo it was plenty strong. His car was worse than mine, by some good way.
4. Were you popular in high school?
   I wasn't unpopular!
5. Have you ever been on a blind date?
   No.

   Yeah, loads. Most of them.
8. By what age would you like to be married?
   I married at 23.

   Yes.
10. Have you ever made a mistake?

12. What's the most you have spent for a haircut?
    £30ish, but that was a long time ago. It's £7 now, every couple of months.
13. Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?
    Oh, loads! Mrs Horn, Mrs Knapton, Miss Langworth, Miss Greenhowe and more.
