Ready to call time?

I’m struggling to work out whether it’s really time to call time on my chats with The Word Smith. I know that it is, because let’s face it, his intelligence is so beyond me it’s insane and I have no idea what made me message him in the first place. However, I find it very hard to ignore messages from anyone, added to which he has now included a numbered list, and there is a small part of my brain that forces me to gravitate towards lists like nothing else.

There’s only one thing for it; I’m going to have to reply with 100% honest answers and see whether he feels the need to respond. I can’t help but assume that, when you ask someone if they enjoy the FT weekend edition and they reply with “I like the colour, but other than that, I don’t think I have ever even touched one before” it’s only going to go one way isn’t it? I guess we’ll find out fairly soon. 

Just for fun, below is a selection of other exciting questions that he put to me complete with my, I think, rather well thought through replies:

TWS: Have you seen a 1972 movie called Death Train, which is a semi-horror (I think). and rather interestingly involved the London Underground?

Miss P: No.

TWS: Olive green tights and brogues down the Kings Road. Yay or nay?

Miss P: Olive green tights and brogues pretty much anywhere makes me feel a bit sick. That fact that people would be rocking them on the Kings Road is just unnecessarily vile. So, nay.

TWS: Would you object to flying business class on the grounds of suggestions of inequality?

Miss P: If you’re talking about transatlantic travel then I will willingly sign a petition publically celebrating the realities of inequality in all its gory detail if it means that I get a fully reclining seat and a glass of bubbles upon arrival.

TWS: Does wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt make you feel as though you should be painting the roof?

Miss P: I don’t think I’ve ever painted a roof - I have a tendency to fall over / off things, so it would be a little dangerous. I’ve also never worn a plain t-shirt (well not since I was about ten at least). If I had to guess though, I would say yes. That’s something that really shouldn’t happen.
