Q& A
Perhaps members might be interested in a question and answer thread.
Here is a Q&A sample taken from the Guardian newspaper : as answered by a well know British personality. Quote:
I have listed the same questions with some additional ones : please feel free to answer them and if we have a good uptake, we might make this thread a sticky! Where are you from? Where is your favourite location to visit? When was the last time you cried? What is your favourite food? What is your best quality? What is your worst weakness? Which country, that you have visited, impressed you most? What do you dislike most about other people? Describe your perfect day? What is your marital status? What is your favourite colour? What is you best physical feature? Do you believe in God? What would you like your epitaph to read? Who is your favourite cyclist? What is your favourite bike? What is your preferred cycling endeavour?
