What an odd question . . .

[mollykins]

While I was round my friends house, playing monopoly his step dad casualy ask me how long I boil eggs for . . . .

Has anyone ever asked you a random question that was odd for the situation you were in? when they weren't drunk . . .?

[boxtops]

Not a question, but someone once said to me "do you know, the price of parrots is going up?".

[boxtops]

..well I suppose that WAS a question, but it was presented more as a statement!

[mollykins]

Perculiar . . .

[NoMercy]

I once sat up in my sleep and shouted, "I'm a Tescos fanatic."

Molly.... he may have been asking because he's not sure how long to boil them for...

[mollykins]

boxtops I've always wondered what your avatar was so i jsut clicked on you and it's a lovely peacock, I love peacocks. Nomercy, do you lvoe peacocks, seeing as we are in a random question thread in cb.

NoM, he's a chef . . . .it was as if he was questioning my ability . . .

[mollykins]

*love*

[NoMercy]

You're right, Molly. 'Twas an odd question.

[NoMercy]

I love peacocks. They have loads at Warwick Castle.

But he definatly questions my friends ability who he only lets makea drink in the kitchen without supervision. Anything using more electrical equipment than the kettle, fridge or freezer he doesn't trust him to use on his own - my friend is 16!

But shock horror, his mum let me cook pasta with mediterranean vegetables and a sauce in their kitchen! I left my friend in charge of the pasta, who didn't even know how long to cook it for (I guessed 10 mins as there was no packet) and he even did that wrong almost, luckily I was only inches away. Plus I let him chop the vegetables up! and it was edible.

what's wrong with random questions??? at least it wasn't an offensive question...

i like peacocks too. when i went to warwick castle to see JLS in concert, i did see a few peacocks with ear plugs

[mollykins]

I've been to Warwick castle, a long time ago, i think i remember the peacocks, well many stately homes have them so I could be remembering any old peacock .

[NoMercy]

Peacocks are lovely but I prefer crispy duck.

My peacock avatar is the daddy of the peacock family that roams around the resort where we stayed in Marrakesh. Mum, Dad, two teenagers, and a clutch of adorable leggy chicks.
Peacocks have been significant in many parts of my life, and we had a peacock theme to our wedding five years ago - it was a wonderfully colourful event, using all the shades in a peacock's feathering.

[mollykins]

wow, that sounds beautiful, and a suitably random thing to say on this thread. Better than dreary whites and black that make the men look like they're at a funeral.

Last year the Bosses godson who is into the Goth scene got married and the bride looked absolutely stunning dressed in black Morticia Addams style dress most of their friends where in theme clothes as you say it made a change from the usual wedding gear

[mollykins]

Someone I know had a colourful wedding but I didn't go, I only vaguely know them. In the dress code, you weren't allowed to wear just; browns, greys, white and black.

During my first year of teaching at a Christian grade school one of my 6th grade (10-11years old) students asked me if I was a virgin....when I reported this, his parents were called in and rather than admit he was wrong, they were more worried that I refused to answer. They felt there should only be one answer for a single female teacher. Can you imagine?

[mollykins]

It's no of the childs or parents business!

[mollykins]

*not

And I should have put apostrophes in, sorry.
