:woohoo: :yourock: :loveya: :toast:

1. How do you take your coffee?
Strong, black, no sugar or any other crap.

2. Are you organized?
My mind is, and thus nothing else about me needs to be - that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

3. When was the last time you bought a CD?
A few weeks ago, I was in a bad mood, and so bought a box-set of Shostakovich's String Quartets to cheer myself (it worked, they're damn magnificent).

I don't actually have one at the moment...need to find one I suppose.

In and of itself it does not give me satisfaction - but it contributes in many ways to an overall satisfaction (which is nonetheless coupled with a desire to improve).

7. Are you close to your family?
Yes - to my "nuclear" family, my parents and two sisters; not so much my grandfather, still less cousins &c.

Over - and woe betide anybody who puts it the wrong way :grr:

Over. I long ago issued a fatwa against the sacriligeous under-rollers. Let there be total jihad!
