CF: Surveys and oh yeah.. articles...

[Guest guest]

G'day all

I go away for a few days and all hell breaks loose

over boxer shorts and sandwich fillers!!

Intrigued by this survey...

1. Boxer girl all the way (on men of course...)

2. Garlic mayonnaise - accept no substitute

3. Dogs... cats... bugger... ask me later

4. At first didn't know WHAT these were but am now

(fairly) sure that they're supermarkets and haven't a

clue. Don't have either of them in Ireland, go

Superquinn all the way..

5. Nephew swears by Pulmozyme (and believe me when I

say he has an extensive vocabulary for a 15 year

old..)

6. Dark chocolate, preferably Swiss, preferably

expensive.

7. " Control briefs " Eh?? Haven't a clue what you're

talking about here and am now officially very, very

scared.. THINK I know what knee highs are but these

may be a very different thing in Ireland so - No

Comment. Someone also mentioned " pantyhose " and all

sorts of images are flooding my brain with that one!!

Pantyhose! Well I laughed!!

8. Well, if I absolutely have to choose, I wouldn't

throw Asthon outta bed for eating chips but Demi would

just have to go. I don't do sharing.
