Meme/quiz

Okay, here it is. Thanks to Betty, such an excellent idea.

These are my answers.
All you have to do is work out what the questions are.

They may or may not be similar to
Betty's questions,
more or less.
But then again, they might not be.


1. Pork scratchings.

2. Armadillos.

3. Orange flared jeans, baggy flowery smock top with long puffy sleeves, long white crotcheted waistcoat.

4. Digestive biscuits with (lots of) peanut butter.

5. Stealing flowers from other peoples’ gardens.

6. A tea-cosy.

7. Walking very fast.

8. Checking my blog for comments TOO FREQUENTLY.

9. It involvied a glass door, toes, wrists and (nearly) arteries.

10. Sheeps’ feet.

11. 14.

12. China.

13. The back of my head.

14. A toothbrush.

15. Otter.

16. “Only in Kenya”

17. Yes.


There may or not be a prize for the winner. Though confirmation of your smart-arse-ness should surely be sufficient reward. Maybe I could commission Betty to write you something.....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

This is so much fun, I urge you all to do your own too. All hail to Betty.

Right, scores so far (duplication of answers already given scores nothing) :

Dons, 2 points, questions 9 & 11. Question 9 - the accident was through our bathroom door, stitches for my sister's toes and my wrist - barely missed the artery. I've only recently realised how close I came to death and what it must have been like for my parents.

Trac, pretty close on 1, 2 &. Points if no one else gets closer.

Meg. 2 points, questions 10 and 15. (Otter - would be my totem animal/daemon (Pullman) if I had one. Not often still, sleek, sociable, likes fun in water. Sheeps Feet - in provincial France, not my order, my husband's (on recommendation of good French friend)(Limace friend, actually). Very very tasty but very very very very gluey.

Trac and Betty - extra points for making me laugh so much. (Whose Line is it Anyway scoring here)

lettuce said...

Above should read 1, 2 and 16 for Trac - close, no cigar (yet)

grumpy old woman said...

Oooh, I wish I had time to have a go at this - still writing essays :o{

Tanya said...

but my page looks ok on my puter, what's going on??? i still haven't had time to do your quiz :-(

The fabric of my life said...

Betty did you know that Jenny Joseph is Tat's husband's aunty? The one who wrote when I am old I shall wear purple?

The fabric of my life said...

Sorry about M being Aries. ;-)

lettuce said...

Wendy - 3 points!!
No. 3 - right, actually! tho' its worst, I must admit, from my nearly-47 year old perspective. At the time I was about 14 and probably looked fab.
No. 4 - close enough, a secret pleasure. Has to be secret as M has instructed me to hide any digestive biscuits I might buy, to prevent him from scoffing the lot.
No. 5 - more or less. On the way home when I was about 7, with a friend. (I'm sure she led me on...)
12 - not quite.

Trac - the least likely questions are by far the funniest. No, you didn't get 17. right, that was a late admission on my part, post-dated my quiz. (The question wasn't is CE sexy, either) (or Johnny Depp)

Oh dear. I had no idea my sidebar had slipped! Can anyone else see it?

Molly Bloom said...

I'm so glad that I have bought so much fun inventing this game. I can't wait until you've all done it.

:)

Sorry to have offended the aunty. Oops. I suppose Tats will let me off because it is still the nation's favourite poem...

ramblingwoman said...

Hi I'm back! And I've missed loads! This meme and it's comments is hilarious!

Identikit said...

This is too complicated for now. Too tired. It looks fun though. I will work it out tomorrow and have a go.

Ah Rambling is back, I see. That's good.

The fabric of my life said...

Your blog looks fine to me :-)

Bird said...

this is too rich!

i am brain dead this evening so will have to devise questions later.

Identikit said...

No, I can't see your bit on the side either!

Well, you got 9% more than me.

I was going to try to do one of these meme things but it's actually harder than it looks isn't it?

lettuce said...

I found it hard to get going - but once I did, it was hard to stop!

(which could be a clue to one of my questions, actually!)
