2. Do you like your handwriting? Definitely not, my writing looks like a spider has run through an ink pot. When I was about 5yrs , my dad took the fire guard away so he could empty the ashes. My brothers were playing football in the house ( strictly not allowed) the ball hit me and I fell putting my hand out to stop myself ! Being a left hander , it was my left hand that went into the fire. After a trip to the hospital with my bandaged, I went to school where the teachers decided to make me use my right hand….. scared for life!! 🙂

Feb 12, 2017 @ 20:42:09
Nosey yes! Sadly the beige I’d not a lie though it pains me to admit it, red would of been better!! 😱
Feb 12, 2017 @ 19:55:56
Agree about the eyes, they always tell a story. I’d trust a person’s eyes before I’d trust what they might say! Eyes never lie. 🙂
Feb 12, 2017 @ 20:39:49
Do very true the eyes have it!💞
Feb 12, 2017 @ 20:18:02

Fabulous Michael, well I count , well we have seven answers in comon and I am of Irish extraction too!So not bad and I was right you are not boring at all!! 😱😋
Feb 12, 2017 @ 22:51:03
You are too kind….that’s the second such post I have seen today anothe blogger had posted one which had many rather personal questions on it I have to say, at least your questions were not too invasive…lol
Feb 12, 2017 @ 22:58:41
No I would not of done it had they of been in any way invasive I am not keen on over sharing. The internet can be a scary enough place!! 😨😱
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:01:39
Yes it certainly can….I can handle eye colour and name. I left out the last two questions on your quiz as I couldn’t remember some of them….
Colour pants, well I went for what you could see….and as its summer here, we tend to be in shorts and singlets most of the time. It could have asked what colour singlet as that might have been interesting….black and white horizontal stripes…
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:03:13
Ah! A convict no less!!!😣
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:04:52
Yes, on day leave…lol….sadly I can’t confess to convict origins, I can confess to me grandfather’s family coming to Australia as boat people in the 1880’s.
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:18:56
Well let’s hope you don’t need to visit America too soon then. My Dad’s family travelled from Dublin to Manchester in the early 1900s as boat people too. Dad then as he got older made his way to London via Oxford were he met my Mum. 💖
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:21:21
Interestingly my Great grandfather went to America and fought in the civil war. Later he returned to Ireland, married my great grandmother and as things were so dire in Ireland at the time, he had a brother in Australia and so gathered up his family and came here…my grandfather was only a small boy at the time.
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:25:17
The Irish have always been intrepid travelers, usually due to great poverty. Your grandfather was a worldwide traveller in the days when travel was anything but easy!
Feb 12, 2017 @ 23:39:22
Oh indeed and if it wasn’t for his bravery and desire to give his family a new and better life I would not be here…
Feb 13, 2017 @ 07:31:40
It is simply amazing!
Feb 12, 2017 @ 22:59:38
Btw the what colour pants are you wearing did make me smile!!
Feb 13, 2017 @ 18:42:06
My choice would be wine too unless it was a very hot day – then ice cold beer!
Feb 13, 2017 @ 19:43:18
Definitely!!
Feb 13, 2017 @ 22:44:52
