1.There’s nothing better than a good bus, in my opinion. Moderately fast. Inexpensive. And they operate in a great deal more of Scotland than trains do.

2.Bed. Undoubtedly.

3.Modern Popular Music.

4.Primula cheese…

I’m only kidding, chaps.

I’d say flowers. There’s nothing extra-ordinary about flowers. (Conservative answer, I know. Boo.)

5. When obnoxious slugs listen to their music too loudly.

‘The good one’ is a relative term, which is important to take into account when dealing with Toads…

Adam, the waking up shouting thing is surprisingly more endearing than you might guess.

And Ben! I used to think you were the “good” one in the family *sob

To be fair to Tart, I think she made the Dyke point in question three too.

Tart, I don’t know about having to be a dyke, but you might just have to be a nutter.

Adam, with that many of them I am surprised no-one took direct action. 40-year-old women in large herds scare me.

1. Favourite mode of long-distance transport.
Train, definitely. I have trouble staying awake on the train, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Also you can do all sorts of other lovely things, read, listen to stuff, eat and drink, work if you absolutely can’t avoid it.

2. Weirdest place you’ve had a surprisingly civillised meal.
Home.

3. Thing that just isn’t what it used to be.
The bargain cheap takeaway. Everything seems to be hugely expensive all of a sudden – I’ve spent more on takeaway meals from a couple of places round here than I would have planned on spending in the place with drink as well.

4. Most boring everyday thing which actually turned out to be quite romantic.
Time zones. Alright, but I know what I’m talking about here.

5. Most annoying train habit.
I was on a journey recently opposite a bloke who (1) was a twat (2) was having a really really loud conversation on this mobile, with lots of shouted swearing and everything (3) had his bag on the seat and refused to move it ‘no, sorry, I can’t move it at all’ and (4) – as more detail is required to really let this one fly – the people he refused to give a seat to were clearly a hen party of thirty/fortysomethings who then stood all around him and his double seat pouring sarcasm on him until he escaped at the next stop (miraculously managing to take his ‘can’t move it’ bag with him.

Although, for all of that, I suspect that my own personal really bad train habit is snoring and dribbling and possibly suddenly waking up and shouting.

1. Flying – British Air, best tea ever in airline travel situation experience and a sweet upgrade to business section was simply and profoundly wonderful.
2. Roadside stop somewhere between Ephesus and Edirne, literally a petrol station where we thought we were grabbing a sandwich but got seated at a full restaurant, fed an entire meal of delicious lamb kebab and watched out the window as they washed our car top to bottom and vacuumed it as well – no charge for that last bit, comes with the meal, which cost about $4.00 per person (was 2000).
3. bathtubs, wtf? why are they all square, short and shallow? i might perhaps admit to displacing up a teensy bit more water these days but COMEON!!! can’t a girl soak anymore??
4. driving from NYC to LA with 5 dogs – no really, but maybe you have to be a dyke for that to work (?)
5. they don’t exist here anymore, mostly

You have to wonder about people who argue with airport security. It’s like “You’ve clearly bought an airline ticket, do you not want to use it?” Just shut up, do what they say and they’ll let you get on the flight! Fuck them about, spend the night in the airport detention rooms and see how the wife and kids like that instead of flying to Disney-fucking-land.

Apart from at Cardiff airport. The retarded fucking simians they have working there deserve as much shit as you can fling at them.

1. E-mail, because it helps people send other people artwork.
2. Ontario, they have a surprising amount of artwork.
3. The old artwork.
4. Giving someone artwork and having them choose.
5. People that show you their artwork.
