"Have you ever --?" questions and answers behind cut. Meme from [personal profile] legionseagle



Tattoos: No.

Surgeries: I have recently had a punch biopsy of a suspicious mole on my left arm. Not sure if that counts. Outcome as yet unknown.

Broken bones: No. Serious sprains, yes, twice.

Shot a gun: No.

Quit a job: Yes, I took voluntary early severance of my last job.

Flown on a plane: Yes, but not recently. I take the view that planes are not good for the environment.

100+miles in car: Yes, as a passenger. My parents used to take us on holiday to Scotland from the Midlands, and that was a long journey.

Gone zip lining: No.

Watched someone give birth: No.

Watched someone dying: Yes. Both my parents.

Ridden in an ambulance: Yes. I fell down a flight of stairs at Kings Cross underground station and had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance. I don’t recommend it.

Sang karaoke: No.

Had a pet: Yes, when I was a teenager I had an Old English Sheepdog called Punch. He was a good dog, and I adored him. We also had cats when I was growing up. I now have a cat called Smokey, whom I love immoderately.

Been downhill skiing: No, never fancied it.

Gone snowboarding: No.

Ability to read music: Not really. Though I can sing.

Rode a motorcycle: No

Rode a horse: No

Stayed in a hospital: I have never been hospitalised, but I spent the night by my dying mother’s bedside, waiting for her to pass.

Driven a stick shift: I had 30 driving lessons when I was 17, and never came close to passing my test. That was in a car with gears.

Eat Sushi: Yes: I’m very fond of sushi, and when I was working would occasionally take a lunchtime stroll along Victoria Street to Wasabi and choose some sushi to have for lunch.
