Different fathers.
Do you think China will become the dominant power in the world in the near future?
Speaking personally I am not quite sure. On the one hand it may well be true but on the other it may not be. It depends on which programme I saw last.
Do you sprinkle sugar on your porrige or are you a masochist?
I sprinkle sugar on my porridge, and no I'm not a follower of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.
When do you think will your country-men beat the Aussies in cricket again.
In about 4 years' time.
Have you ever made someone ill, or injured someone?
Not intentionally, but there's no saying what my food did to people when I was 20 yrs old and knew nada
Would you rather swim the English Channel or climb Mt. Everest?
God, what a choice. Swim the Channel I think.
Would you rather watch a horror movie or a black-and-white romance?
Did someone just say, God what a choice? Ditto! Romance, I guess.
Have you ever been to Belize?
No, not yet, as the Chinese answer when asked if they are married...
You were going to Costa Rica some time soon, weren't you?
Please forgive my slow answers - my computer is really slow (actually, it's A2K)...
We were going, but I quit my job and am now cooking in a restaurant and have less money and just paid for my son to go to England in May and have to visit my daughter and new granddaughter in March (born some time that month)..... Costa Rica will have to wait but my husband has a friend who just came back and so is really, really keen, whereas before I was the keener ....
Do you ever commit the run-on sentence faux pas?
Not in my own opinion but in all fairness I have been accused of something like that quite often on the Science and Mathematics forum where they still count on their fingers.
Are you an intellectual, just highly intelligent or as dumb as a cluck like me?
At least I'm not falsely modest. I don't think that's a fitting question for a lady, be it me or Mame.
Are you going to be meetable in England, Mame, or if it isn't Mame, what are you wearing?
Am wearing a dhoti...just kidding...am in a Hawks T-shirt and a black cargo. Sorry, wont be meetable in England coz you know why.
What are you wearing?
Thick jumper and red skirt and brown suede boots, it's freezing over here!
How's the weather over there?
Mild chill thats all.
Is it snowing over there?
Apparently there was snow in London today, pretty but melting fast; I live in the southwest where we rarely get snow.
What's your favourite food - really aloo paratha?
Give me a plate of large garlic prawns and I'm happy, no idea what 'aloo paratha' is. Indian food?
Do you frequent restaurants?
Frequently. We have some very good ones in this small town.
Have you always cooked?
No.
I didn't cook when I was playing football for example and on many other occasions too numerous and boring to mention in a response to a question from a refined English lady of elegance and sophistication.
Could you describe the point at which an eating joint becomes a restaurant?
Ketchup in little plastic envelopes should not be seen in a restaurant but are permitted in an eating house, or joint, or a pub.
Do you ever eat out?
I don't eat out as a rule but I have done once or twice when I've been stuck. I find it a bit disgusting seeing people stuffing themselves and fannying about at the same time. I gather that George Bernard Shaw's wife was a spectacular example when she was over a plate of liver and bacon stew.
Do you think the pleasureable feeling people get in restaurants is in anyway spiritual?
