Sands, I'd have to take up drinking. Is it that much fun?
Mind you long drives are boring. I wouldn't mind being able to stretch out in the back with a book after telling the car to take me off to the seaside.
I could call my car James take me to the shops, James.
Molly, I do too. Even quite simple do-able things. What we need to find is a really handy guy who can tinker around with prototypes and draw up patents.
Well hello Map
I think we might have found our man. Time to build that better mousetrap ...
And ooh, could I pick my crime? I'd like to go on a spree killing the most seriously annoying people I know. If I pick the right victims the police will probably let me get away with it for quite a while ...
And eating haggis and drinking whisky, even malt? Pass. I'd rather pick something that gives me terrible heartburn, which under the circumstances would not be a problem.
Trying to think if there's anything I really like that gives me heartburn. Nothing so far. Oh well, by the time I've committed my crime, there may be something.
I would for sure have a final speech. It would probably be quite long.
More interested in seeing who was waiting to greet me, I'll be very annoyed if there's no afterlife at all. What a SWIZZ. I'm personally gambling on reincarnation.
GJ interesting clip, all those lovely women, I knew all the names but it was interesting how they fell into the ones I recognized even before they had finished morphing (not many, Lauren Bacall was the first) and the ones where I had to look at the name (oh, riiiiight) and a few where it was oh, okay, that's who it was.
Was there a lovely man one? I often think how alike many of the great heartthrob actors looked when they were younger, and how very much they changed. Marlon Brando and Paul Newman were almost twins!
Been there, done that, it didn't take. I can't imagine marrying again, although I'd like to know my man would instantly agree if I changed my mind.
Second time round, especially later in life, it is sensible to marry just to simplify the paperwork for that distant future but if I married for fun it would be Star Trek chapel, Vegas. Captain Picard to make it so.
2B, come ON, one of my best buddies is in Durbs and she said it is roasting there at the moment. There's a cold front in Cape Town she's hoping will move your way asap! You like cold? Come visit. Bring jerseys!
My bacon and eggs is on the hob. Reminds me of that old way of defining the difference between being involved in a relationship, and being committed, by using bacon and eggs as an example.
Yup, I was told by a mutual friend that I am probably doomed to die a spinster of this parish. How rude. How true, though.
At worst when we are cackling old harridans we can do coach trips and leer at all the beef totty and work out how to get them drunk enough to smuggle to our rooms. You will be mostly in charge, being by the far the younger. And a hair taller.
Ish, you've MET me. Do I look active? Just keeping up with you would be a full-time job. You would, too. Eek.
Moving to Spain is up there as a definite pipedream, all I have to do is write a couple of books which, if not bestsellers, are at least steadysellers. No problem. I should of course probably be doing that now as part of #1 on my list.

It's a kind of magic ..
Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
