BLOG CHALLENGES TWENTY FOUR THROUGH THIRTY

Nearly half way through.  Getting to the point I feel like doing a line per question (If that)

So onwards and upwards with the next 7

24. Your favorite song
Whispering your name by Alison Moyet.  I quite like this version featuring Dawn French





25. Your favorite book
My Favorite book of all time is Charles Dickens The Christmas Carol.  I love that book in any variety and have all versions ranging from novel, cartoon, musical and Alistair Sims.


26. Your favorite quote
One that I keep using is one from Doctor Who of all places.  The Rani advising the Tetrap to "Leave the Girl, it's the man I want!"




27. A photo that makes you angry/sad

This photo says angry and sad in one for me.



28. A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
Nope this makes me cry everytime.  Most of Les Miserable does, despair, pain and death. Leads onto the song.  The death of Fantine (Come to me).  Updating this at work not the best idea as tears are trying to break out as I check to make sure the video works.




29. An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
I have 2 'statues' that I love.  Both Greek design, 1 destroyed, the other in Nashvilee  Tennessee.  There is lot of question if the Colosus of Rhodes actually existed due to the actual size of it.  if it didn't exist then its a great drawing ;)

Colossus of Rhodes
Temple of Athena in Nashville


30. A talent of yours
I'm quite good at spotting a goodlooking guy at 100 paces but since I lent my gaydar out to someone in 2001 I can never tell a straight man from a gay one anymore. I can find my way around a computer, take it apart and put it back together. Does that count/

Anyway, enough updates today me thinks.  Till tomorrow

  1. Never seen the Dawn French vid before - hilarious. I hated the new Jim Carey spin on Christmas Carol, thought it was tripe. I agree with the Colossus statue one of my favourites too. :O)
