Does anyone else do this?? I have my whole life. I remember being in assemblies as a kid and they're be on serious topics and I'd get the giggles, or on school trips to sad places and stuff and it's gotten worse as I've aged š
Anyone else?? To clarify, I don't find the actual event or whatever funny, I think it's theā¦

If you could pick a mythical creature to be real, which one would you pick?
I'm talking your bigfoots, unicorns, dragons, perhaps the Loch Ness Monster. Anything from folklore or mythology too. Which mythical creature would you be most excited to see if it was a real thing? Nessie would be definitely be somewhere near the top for me. I'd love to say Pegasus but it would have to be only one. Iā¦

Would you want to live on another planet?
I was having this conversation with my housemate this morning and thought it would be interesting to see what you all think! If you had the option to live in space or on another planet, would you go? I'm becoming a bit of an earth-child in my old age, and I think I'd firmly want to stay here even if there was anotherā¦

I love...
Inspired by Biblioklept's discussion about things we don't like, I thought we could share what we love too! I love getting cosy under a big blanket with a cup of green tea and some biscuits. I also love learning about unusual topics, such as bread clips and bus stops!

A surprising fact about me is...
I had a pet tern called Terry! My mum worked for the RSPCA and we had a myriad of animals come and stay with us. It was a very fun time and felt like I was living in a zoo sometimes. However, it did trigger my fear of birds as we housed a parrot for a few days and it absolutely hated me š° Tell us yours!

How do you remember the Fruit of the Loom logo?
I totally remember the one on the left with the cornucopia, but it turns out it's a false memory that a lot of people have and FOTL logo has always been the one on the right without the cornucopia. Until recently I had never heard of or seen a cornucopia, so why has my brain always associated the FOTL logo with one? Iā¦

Anyone tried walking groups?
There's a women-only walking group launcing in my area in a few weeks time and I'm really considering going to it, at the moment only the organiser and 1 other person have signed up and if it's that small I'm wondering if I can manage it, but probably not. The set off point is almost directly outside my house and you canā¦
