Friday catch up...
My third time trying to post this... don't you just hate LJ at times?!
Which means the usual... starting off with fridayfiver_ukas usual you can't reply here you need to do that here:
1. First Friday fill in. In 5 years time...
(a) ... Tony Blair will still be saying "Where did it all go wrong? They loved me in '97! What happened?"
(b) ... Gordon Brown will be wondering why he waited until it was all going wrong
(c) ... David Cameron will have been stabbed in the back by his party
2. Who would you rather have heading your country Tony B or George W? Tony, let's face it he can at least master the English language which gives him bonus points over George
3. Monster Raving Loony Party: Why? Because they are more entertaining than Jordan at election time.
4. Final Friday fill-in: Voting is a good idea if you moan about politicians or what they do at any time during the year.
5. What would be the first thing you'd do if you were elected Prime Minister? Appoint Dermot O'Leary as my head of spin and Freddie Ljungberg as my personal trainer.. you didn't expect something political and sensible did you?
Next up is altfriday5 and if you fancy replying than go here:
1. Which country or countries are you a citizen of? How did you attain that citizenship (birth, naturalization, inheritance) British by birth
2. For which countries do you have a passport? Have you ever had trouble getting a passport? British passport - never had trouble although I have lost a few and had one stolen.
3. Have you ever needed to apply for special permission (i.e., visas or other clearances) to enter another country? If yes, tell us a bit about it. Nope, I never go anywhere that interesting :-(
4. Have you ever had trouble entering a country (couldn't get a visa, turned back at the border, etc.)? If yes, tell us a bit about it. Nope unless you count losing your passport and trying to fly to Dublin on a International Student Identity Card (ISIC)... I wasn't *actually* a student at the time and it was all a bit dodgy.. but they did allow it despite it being after 9/11.
5. Have you ever had trouble leaving a country (lost your passport with your entry stamp, not accepted back by your country of residence, etc.)? If yes, tell us a bit about it. Nope, we were allowed to leave Germany on a school trip despite having our passports stolen. I think we set the record for the amount of emergency passports issued in a single go!!
Final one is thefridayfive and if you fancy replying than go here:
1. What is your all time favorite book? Ohh tricky... Anything by Sebastian Beaumont although the Book Thank You For Not Smoking would be a close second... although for some reason it's not available in print only a DVD of the film.. shame!
2. What is your all time favorite movie? I can't have just one!!! It's between The Empire Strikes Back, Chicago and Hercules... whatta mix!
3. What are you reading right now? Blood Fever by Charlie Higson (part of the new Young James Bond series)
4. What is your favorite show on tv? Have I Got News For You?
5. What is the last movie you saw in the theater? Casino Royale and I didn't like it :-(
