Gareth,

How awesome! I am so glad you decided to play along again. I dunno about you. You act like you don't socialize, but you are pretty fun to have around, really. I agree entirely about the folks you want to spend time with - especially some of those who have gone on. I miss them!

I'm very jealous about your time with Liam. I do like his work a LOT. And love the animal!! Thanks for the smiles!!

    I've only stopped socialising in recent years and like to hibernate in my cottage by the sea! lol

    Liam Neeson's sister was my math teacher whichis how I met him when I was in my last year of school (18 years old hence being able to drink).

    Cheers G

I did this too. I would like to have met with Mastery but he passed away in May. Comic book gut from the Simpsons is pretty cool for a cartoon character. Thanks for sharing.

This is great! And I agree - Jay and Sandra are both great, amazing people and writers.
You had drinks with Liam Neison? So cool. I'm sure there's a great story in there, too. :)
Blessings and thank you for sharing,
Deb

You all must have way to much time on your hands. LOL. But it's all in fun and I'm sure everyone gets a kick out of comparing what everyone writes. Thanks for sharing.

    It's just a bit of silliness to alleviate the boredom! lol

I got a few chuckles out of reading this little ditty questionnaire and your answers. Q7. Beating Brad Pitt up in a lift made me laugh out loud but if I was in a lift with him I'd probably just stare at him the whole time... while drinking alcohol. You'd be fun to socialise with by the reads of it even though you don't like to do it... fibber ;-) Thanks for sharing bits of you.

    I prefer my time now with my family in my cottage by the sea than out socialising. Sadly, I still have to go to work though! lol

This was a wonderful G. The picture was phenomenal. Your answers were truthful and deliberate. I enjoyed each and every one of those answers, they were very well done.

I'd have loved to have met jpduck, Dean Kuch and michaelcahill [Strange you should mention, jpduck. We always enjoyed scrutinizing each other's posts. Then I remember getting a note that he was leaving FS. Later on someone mentioned he had passed. Is that true? Dean scared the bejesus outta me. I don't know that I'd have felt comfortable meeting him. Mikey lived only 60 miles or so south of me. I'd always intended to get in touch with him. I never did though. I do thank you for your kind words about me. I assure you, though you'd find me boring, insecure and most un-funny.

A giraffe, a manatee, and a gorilla. It's a Giraffmang.... [Ah-ha! Now I never have to ask again.]

In the 90s I spent an evening getting rat-arsed (very drunk) with Liam Neeson [Really! I'm impressed. Don't know who the other is.]

Geez, that was fun! Thanks, G.

    jpuck (Adrian), had a minor stroke which I think caused him to leave the site. We almost met prior to that as he lived quite close to my sister-in-law. I greatly admired him and he was a fantastic help to me when I first started as were the others. I'm not sure if he's still with us or not.

    Dominic Cooper was in MammaMia among other things. He's a nice young fella - I used to look after his cousin.

    I had it in my head that he had died. I can't imagine my thinking that unless someone else had said it. BTW, it's goo to finally put a face with the name.

-I just answered your review and said you should do the quiz, and here it it is!!
-Great artwork and I enjoyed your answers.
-As far as meeting FS members, we lost so many good ones, and they would have been high on my list, too.
-So that's how you came up with your FS name!
-I wouldn't mind being stuck with Brad Pitt, either, and Liam Leeson is amazing. That is great that you actually met him, and it sounds like it was a really good time.
-Thanks for sharing your answers, G.

    There was a competition a few years ago about how people chose their names. I entered it twice with completely different stories! lol I didn't take it seriously.

    I have been lucky to have met quite a few famous people. I've been in 2 British soaps myself! & game of Thrones (but so has everyone else!). I worked for a lot of children's charities so we got invited to a lot of function and so on. My favourite was meeting Prince Charles at the palace for a sit-down lunch (due to my work in epilepsy). (I've met the prince four times now! lol)

    I'd write a book but no one would believe it.

    Thanks for sharing all of this. You should write a book. I haven't met famous people, but if I wrote a book, people wouldn't believe it, either! Life is like that, some tell, and some don't!!

Enjoyed learning more about you. Everyone has certainly come up with some strange creature names. You did an excellent job and could you tell me how to find Robyn Corum if we're not friends? Have a great afternoon. Shirley
