I saw PJ at the excellent Urban Recluse do this meme and so I decided, without the slightest qualms of conscience, to steal it. There are 29 levels (I'm not sure why) and only on two levels do I end up with a complete set of blanks. But I suppose there is still time to do some of the things I have so far left undone.

OK, Nicholas, your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to wear a string of pearls whilst eating sushi, thereby answering yes to at least one question at all levels. Seriously though, that was fascinating, and I'm very impressed by your honesty :-)

Quite an interesting list Nick!

Very impressive results, you've had an exciting life!

Cool meme. I had fun reading your answers and I'm almost tempted to copy it and answer it myself... (too lazy right now, though).
But some of the questions made me scratch my head: Have you ever kissed a fish? Licked a cat? WTF?
I wonder if there are really people who can honestly answer those with yes. If so, I'd like to meet them. :-)
Also, what's with the levels? They don't correspond in any way to the questions as far as I can see.

You haven't lived until you've gotten your tongue stuck to a frozen pole!

I'm gonna steal it, my dashing English friend.

Hi Nicholas,
Those were so interesting. I think I shall give it a go. I have been a bit lazy and not inspired to write in my blogs lately. It seems as if so much is going on that it is taking me away. Glad I stopped by your way.
Take care.
Your friend across the pond,
Tawnya
