h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dracula. Sorry, I know the vamp thing is so overdone, but if I had to live in a castle with a mad scientist who might chop me up for bits or give me to his creation or with an ancient blood sucker who can give me nghts of exquisite pleasure... (if he so wants), I'd go with the vampire.

In a pie - Rhubarb or Gooseberry?

Classic mistake- the mad scientist was Frankenstein, the monster wasn't actually named in the original novel. But I fully agree with you, there is a slightly skewed romantic overtone to the whole vampire thing. I'd also plump for the nights of exqisite pleasure- though with my back I'm sure the smell of Ralgex would be a bit of a passion killer....

In a pie, I'd go for gooseberry. What to serve it with? Ice cream, or custard?

>>but if I had to live in a castle with a mad scientist who might chop me up for bits or give me to his creation or with an ancient blood sucker <<

If you read that again, I didn't get trapped by the classic mistake at all... I referred to the mad scientist (or whatever he was) and his creation, so I wasn't referring to Frankenstein's monster, except as an offshoot and potential problem with staying with Dr (?) Frankenstein...

Oh, and Custard, even though I prefer ice cream.

Ideally, clotted cream and a butterscotch sauce.

So. Boiled sweets or toffees?

My bad. I sit corrected. Friends??

Umm, toffee for me. Boiled sweets just don't do it for me.

Cif, or Jif??

JIF!

And of course we're friends. If you promise to behave yourself, so will I

If you could have either mondays or fridays off with no loss of income, which would you prefer?

Mondays.

Brown bread or white?

only out of those two? White then

Mobile Phone or Laptop?

Hi there chum! I promise to behave (has fingers crossed behind back, fnar fnar)

Mobile phone, but only for emergencies (ordering pizza or chinese, that sort of thing!)

Sweet, or savoury?

Savoury.

Rice or pasta?

Pasta, definitely. With a nice home-made tomato,garlic and bacon sauce and lots and lots of cheese on top.

Brie, or Stilton?

Brie, at a push. Cant stand that mouldy stuff.

Mayo or salad cream?

Mayo (reminds self to have a go at making some).

Tuna or mackerel?

PP

Tuna - but preferably still swimming. I've not really progressed past haddock and chips!

So, seaside food...

Fish and chips, or ice cream?

(Oh, and MonkeyS - speaking of pasta and bacon, have a look here: A36711731) <-shameless plug!

I forgive the shameless plug cos that recipe sounds lurverleee!! Will make a detour to the shops on my way home for some ingredients. I will use kabanos sausage as I like the flavours.

I take it your not a jellied eel fan, either! Fish'n'chips for me.

Deck-chair, or a towel on the sand?

Deck chair.

Boat or plane?

PP

Hm... Boat I think. I recently discovered I dont deal so well with falling sensations!

Mountains or molehills?

Mountains (not quite as destructive)

Eggs: poached or scrambled?

Definitely poached. It's so much more satisfying having eggs you've poached yourself, from under the very nose of the gamekeeper.

Stoats or weasels?

Stoats. Nicer tails.

(BTW. It is easy to tell the difference between the two. A weasl is weasilly identifiable and a stoat is stotally different).

Weasley or Potter?

PP

<<(BTW. It is easy to tell the difference between the two. A weasl is weasilly identifiable and a stoat is stotally different).>>

How long did it take to "ferret" around for that one?? Eh??? Eh????

Weasley. He's like the underdogs funnier side-kick. Speaking of which....

Jamacian Ginger Cake, or Jam Tarts?
