A poll of questions

[slemslempike]

A poll for a morning, a Thursday morning, apparently, which means that I must remember to buy the Guardian to get the booklet about Freshers Week.

[Poll #1446248]

And I would have posted about this horrible review in the Independent before if I'd been here. I haven't seen The Girlfriend Experience, though it sounds interesting, and I've no idea if his other criticisms are valid, but this:

One of them, the elephantine Tessa (Debbie Chazen) giggles nervously about going to see a play that she's in.
There's no point in not saying that these huge and unappetising women come across as being incredibly sad and curiously stupid, with their whale-like lolloping around

is fairly vile no matter what.

I think I personally would like it, but I'm thinking of the children.

Also I decided I'd support both teams who looked as though they were having fun AND who clearly hated it. But I think moreso the ones who clearly hated it.

I hadn't read the other comments before posting (which I should have done, sorry). And I assumed because it wasn't an option on the poll it might be considered an 'incorrect' answer.

Much appreciated

If you're interested in more detail on optimism/pessimism - I would put us both as 'realists*' (though I think it's hard to tell from just 'knowing' you on lj). But I have been told by numerous people that if you say 'oh, I'm not really an optimist or a pessimist, I suppose I'm something more like a realist?' then you're probably a pessimist. *shrug*

* though 'I'm a realist' always sounds a bit pretentious.

Aha, that was my logic for calling you optimistic - you very clearly believe that things can be better and that that's worth striving for.

On the not drinking thing, the thing I find really uncomfortable is that I appear to be of the age and marital status when choosing a soft drink frequently causes people to make erroneous assumptions about pregnancy/"trying" and it's really very icky. It's enough to drive a woman to drink!

That's funny, motorways are not a standard subject in Irish table quizzes! Don't think I've ever encountered a question on them...
