Paris, France. It has been my dream since I was a child.
How tall are you?
5 feet six and a half inches, or 171 cm if you prefer. And no, I am not overweight, I am merely under-tall - by about two feet!
And (again, if I may be so bold) , what about your height?
Hey you tower over me... I am only 5ft2... The tallest female in my family.
How many books can or do you read in a year?
(Still two inches taller than my wife!!!! Still, great things come in small packages!)
Nothing like as many as I;d like to, but constraints of time......
Your favourite cartoonist?
Well, I don't have a favourite. I appreciate art in all forms.
Your favourite author?
Alan Coren, without doubt.
Yours?
Charles Dickens.
What is your favourite book?
The Bible. (How twee is that!)
And yours?
Well. Each to his own... The bible is not the most popular book in my collection, but I don't rule it out. It's an excellent source of reality.
Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens.
What is your favourite song of all time?
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, or Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn (watching the white wheat), an old Welsh love song sung by Max Boyce.
Do you like folk music?
Some.
Who, in your opinion, is the most pathetic of protagonists in fiction?
Pathetic in what sense? For mealiness I'd say the narrator in Rebecca for general windbagness I'd say that art critic guy in The fountainhead (can't remember his name).
Would you rather be accidently locked in overnight in a bookstore or electronics store?
Bookstore.....please!!!!!
What is absolutely guaranteed to make you turn the television off?
Televanglists.
Is there a show on TV that you would never miss?
No. Which book/writer has really changed you?
A little bit-many. Really changed- none.
Same question.
None have changed me. But I have alwys been inspired by Charles Dickens.
Would you rather read a book or write somehting (poem, prose, story etc...)?
Depends what mood I'm in. Today, poetry. Tomorrow, well, who knows.
Did you ever read Thomas the Tank Engine to your kids?
No, because I have no kids. Ha, ha, ha.
Would you tell a story to keep still a naughty child?
I'm a parent and a grandparent!! Of course!
Would you bunk off lectures to watch TV?
I did a lot during the Gulf War but now I can't... They notice quickly when the teacher does not show up.
What is the one thing you have to do every night before going to bed (apart from routines such as brushing teeth, wearing PJs or getting into bed)?
Look out of the window to make sure that criminals are not stealing my car/breaking into the shed/nicking the birdbath/leaning in a provocative manner on the lamppost just up the street.
Hoping you will also post a question for the next person before you go to bed!Quote:
