Friday Five

1. Last party you went to?
Ian's 50th. His local had asked him what he wanted and he said "Armarda" (a local band) so they arranged it, and we all had pride of place on the platform in the main room. Great night.

2. Do you pee in the shower?
What a strange question. Of course. Doesn't everybody? ;o)

3. Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes. Started with an air rifle when I was 14, shooting targets and cans in the back garden. When I went up to Uni I spotted a shooting club and thought it would be fun. They used .22 rifles, but after one session I decided I couldn't get on with all the strapping and paraphernalia they made us use. I didn't go back.

4. Where do you call home?
Whalley Range, Manchester. It's the third time I've lived here and this time (I hope) is for keeps. Or at least as long as either of us are fit and healthy enough to live in a large(ish) house and keep it up.

5. What's your favourite board game?
The one I've played most often would have to be Monopoly, but I used to enjoy Cluedo too. We went through a spate with Trivial Pursuit (around the same time everyone else did) but it was never a favourite. As a kid, I loved Ludo and Snakes and Ladders too. I was a bit of a board game nerd in my twenties, and bought loads of interesting-looking new games like Kensington, 2001, and one I can't remember the name of that had stackable pieces which could move one square for each level of the stack. None of them ever really took off in a big way and I gave up trying to find someone to play with after a few years. Sad but true :(
