There is nothing so dangerous as someone who is convinced they're right.

What's your "Claim to Fame"?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 31 Jul 07

Do you live near somewhere famous, have you been an "extra" in a movie or TV series? Perhaps you've bumped into a celebrity in the street, or maybe you live next door to the family of someone famous. I don't care how tenuous the...

What's the best ever movie soundtrack?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 28 Jul 07

It's a simple question, so let's have lots of nominations! It may be a specially composed soundtrack, or possibly a Tarantino-esque compilation. Film music can be evocative, moving and absolutely brilliant - much of the time we...

How do you see the world around you?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 28 Jul 07

Do you see it as something to be moulded to your ideals? Do you see it as something to change yourself to conform to? Perhaps you see it as nature vs. humans, in which case who are you rooting for to win? Are you one of those...

Your Desert-Island Movies

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 27 Jul 07

We all have at least one film we've watched over and over during our lives. You know the one - you never get tired of watching it, you know the script from start to finish, and you could recite it in your sleep, but it never gets...

The Nanny State

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 15 Jul 07

In the UK, our government, helped largely by the "dumbing down" style our media has adopted, have been treating its people more and more as parents would treat a toddler, using taxes as "punishment". Its latest tactic (if it gets...

Water water everywhere!

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 8 Jul 07

Have you been affected by the recent flooding in the UK? Luckily here in Manchester, I haven't, but with all the recent Gordon Brown rubbish taking centre-stage in the News, I can't help but think that this epitomises the problem...

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 17 Jun 07

Nowadays, with Direct Debits being the preferred method of payments for our bills, most companies charging more to people to pay by other methods, and with Banks creating new types of bank account, where they often decide where to...

What can you see when you look out of your window?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 9 Jun 07

Is your view inspiring, or does its dullness spur you on to create interesting posts? Can you see nature, the city or people? What's your favourite setting for myLotting?

What's your all-time favourite snack?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 8 Jun 07

OK, so we all have a favourite indulgent food, which we just LOVE to eat, even though we know it's calorific! So what's your fave foody treat? Is it warm fresh fruit pie with ice-cream? Is it chocolate brownies fresh from the...

How nosey are you?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 17 May 07

Are you a busybody? Do you love to gossip? Are you a net-curtain-twitcher? Do you think you know everything about your neighbours, whether or not you know them personally? In my opinion, people in villages tend to be more overtly...

Have you ever encountered a ZOMBIE?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 17 May 07

How many of you lovely people have ever encountered a zombie? No I don't just mean the movie-style stereotypical type who wander aimlessly about, gazing vacantly and lurching towards their next victim. Although if you have met...

Women - know your place!

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 16 May 07

In my opinion, the idea of equality and feminism has been corrupted, and set back to an even worse place than before the times of the suffragists. The main culprits...? Women themselves!! If we want to be treated as equals, we...

Time-keeping: Does time serve you, or rule you?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 24 Apr 07

Actually that may be one of the most meaningless soundbites I've ever heard - I should work for the media LOL! Basically, are you obsessively fastidious when it comes to time-keeping? Does being on time take top priority in your...

Grocery Shopping - fun or hassle?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 9 Apr 07

Do you enjoy your trips to the supermarket/corner shop? Do you take your time and browse, or rush about trying to get it over and done with? Is shopping a nightmare or a pleasure for you? Do the staff always seem to be blocking...

What's the longest you've had to wait for a bus?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 9 Apr 07

Here in the UK, the public transport system is a nightmare for passengers, and very shoddily run! Where one company has sole rights to a busy route, they often charge far too much, and run too few buses at peak travel times, so...

Elton John - pre or post 1980s?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 4 Apr 07

With Sir Elt's recent 60th birthday celebrations being much publicised, I'm wondering what you all consider to be the "definitive" period of his musical career? Personally I prefer his early stuff - so much raw talent, gorgeous...

What's your favourite word?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 30 Mar 07

Words are great aren't they?! Some words just feel great as you say them, other words are onamatopoeic, others are madly long, or curt and precise. So what's your absolute favourite word? Do you have several, or do you change your...

Iran and the British Prisoners - are they telling us the whole story?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 30 Mar 07

So who here thinks the sailors went into Iranian waters? I personally don't think the issue is as cut and dry as the British (and as I understand it, the American) media would have us believe. Hell, even the UN haven't condemned...
