Which popular slang expression drives you nuts?
Slang is sick. It lets you know who the teenagers are.
How did you create your username for VOX? What influenced your decision?
Submitted by Strive2Be.
It was available. I didn't realise it would be the URL for all time immemorial. I'd love to change it but there doesn't seem to be a way and you don't seem to be able to export or import blog history etc so I can't start a new one and keep the old stuff in there. Bad blogware. Down boy.
What is the worst date you've ever been on?
February 30th.
Actually, I'm not sure I've ever really been on more than a couple of "dates", it's all a bit too tidy and polite for me to manage. I always tended just to bump into people by chance and then agree to bump into them repeatedly on purpose.
Then again I did once go on a date I didn't know was a date and was subsequently bought a teddy bear by said non-prospective partner (as far as I was concerned) because I mentioned I fancied one in passing in a shop we happened through. I think it was a sort of consolation for her or she was hoping it'd remind me of her if I broke up with the girlfriend I had at the time. I still have the bear almost 20 years later! He's called Albert but with a french pronunciation i.e. Al Bear.
What's the worst thing that could happen to you today? Bonus question: How would that thing potentially benefit you?
Thing: My entire race could be wiped out by an unprecedented solar flare, meteor strike or cataclysmic geological action like a volcano the size of Australia blowing smoke into the trophosphere.
Benefit: I wouldn't have to separate the recycling into separate bags any more.

I get to spend all of it with my daughter :) :) :)

No. It's too late.
Who would you like to trade places with for one day and why?
Submitted by Nathalie.
I wouldn't need a day. I'd lock myself naked in a cupboard with a timelock and trade places with rupert murdoch for twenty minutes then transfer all his dosh to a private numbered account in Switzerland and not tell him the number. Yes I did mean to spell his name without capital letters.
When was the last time you made a drastic change to your personal style (i.e., wardrobe, hairstyle, etc.)? What did you do?

Yesterday I bought a bright orange trendy mountain cagoule type thing to hide in my rucksack when it's sunny. It's great except the first person I spoke to accused me of looking like a road mender. Then again I wore it in the rain on the way to nursery today and I was DRY underneath. Much better than the one I threw away yesterday which was ten years old and had reached the stage of just holding some of the water against my body to keep me cold.
Not very drastic I'll give you but I can't remember that. I suppose that would be when I shaved my beard off in the middle of erm 2005.
However I'll never forget when I shaved my long long hair off when I was at college and half a dozen people I'd sat next to for a couple of years completely ignored me.
Posh and Becks have moved to Los Angeles: [is this good?]
On the basis that they're more likely to be involved in a natural disaster, yeah. The whole of California could slip down it's fault line and slide into the ocean under the weight of all their money. With a bit of luck a lot of the gutter press would go with them. And Hollywood. And the British Film Industry would rise again. Ha Har.
