So here is a probing meme about moi:
What time did you get up this morning? 06:08. First alarm at 06:00, one snooze cycle and into the shower. I used to get up as soon as the alarm went off, but thanks to my snooze-addicted spouse, I have to set the alarm an hour before I need to get up so we can snooze a bit longer. Of course, there is no actual extended sleep time - what am I? Hard of telling the time?
Diamonds or pearls? If I'm buying, it's cubic zirconia the whole way baby! Except for ms. mac - rubies are the way to that girl's heart.
What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith. Read my review here.
What is your favourite TV show(S)? The Sopranos, The Daily Show, ER, American Chopper, The Simpsons and Top Gear
What is your middle name? William - the most regal thing about me.
What is your favorite cuisine? I can't pick one so I'll say Asian i.e. Chinese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese. God, anything with rice really.
What foods do you dislike? Have you seen me lately? The obvious answer is none, but in truth, I can't stand the thought of any offal type products. Having said that, I love, love, LOVE Asda Black Pudding.
What is your favourite crisp/chip flavour? Like most of us, this changes over time. As a kid, I loved Samboy Atomic Tomato, but the all-time fave rave is Chicken Flavoured Ruffles. Much love to anyone who can send me a bag of Chicken Ruffles.
What is your favourite CD at the moment? I don't "buy" that many CDs anymore, but my fave at the mo' is still Aha Shake Heartbreak by the Kings of Leon. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

What is your favourite sandwich? Chicken Caesar Salad Baguette (chateau mac speciality!)

What is your favourite item of clothing? My groovy new boot-cut jeans. They have a button fly and until recently, I couldn't buy those sort of clothes. Yay for no longer being relegated to the Mr Big selections!
If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go? Caribbean to an all-inclusive resort for the whole mac clan
What colour is your bathroom? It's predominantly white with grey flashes on the tiles. to be honest, I don't really care. I spent so long showering in stainless steel cubicles (the latest style onboard warships), so ceramic is a nice change.
What colour pants are you wearing? Red boxers and my wholemeal linen trousers... We all now how much ms. mac loves red, right?
Where would you retire? - Somewhere really close to the CBD / shopping and entertainment area and the beach. In some sort of fabulous penthouse type arrangement - Bondi beach / St. Kilda anyone?
What is your favourite time of the day? Room for One More TM shower time.
What is your most memorable birthday? Probably my 21st which was celebrated in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1990. It was noteworthy because I got pissed onboard HMCS Can't Remember and then went clubbing in Halifax. Climbed back into the naval base over the fence because I was too pissed to find the gate, ripped my new jeans. 10 metres beyond the point I climbed over was the gate. Typical!
What's the last thing you ate? Aldi brand cornflakes with milk.

What is your favorite flower? My wife's.
What fabric detergent do you use? I don't use any, but I think ms. mac uses Persil. I just don't do it right, apparently.
Do you wish on stars? I wish I could lie on top of some stars (Julieanne Moore, Uma Thurman, Kate Moss, Kate Fischer {is she even a star anymore?}...the list is endless). Does that count?
What is your shoe size? Euro 46 / Aussie 12
Do you have any pets? Not anymore, have had a couple of dogs and a heap of tropical fish.

Chocolate or vanilla? Ditto.

I'd send you chicken ruffles but we don't have them here, christ we don't even have cheese and onion!
and what is there NOT to love about Black Pudding?
AND I'm looking forward to having one of those chicken ceaser thingys courtesy of Ms Mac!
We have Cheese and Onion here Andi, so we'll stock up for you.
Black pudding rocks! I only got into it cos of ms. mac.
AND we'll make sure there are plenty of good things for you to eat when you come here. Hopefully there'll be Chicken Caesar Baguettes - YUM!
Excellent answers my dear!
Chicken flavoured Ruffles? Can't say I've ever heard of them! :) (We don't have cheese and onion crisps here, either!)
You crack me up. :-D I had to stop laughing to answer the phone at work just now. I don't think we are very creative in the States in the chips department. I have never heard of Chicken flavored chips before. About all we have are BBQ,SourCream and Onion, Mesquite, Dill Pickle,Ketchup, & Salt & Vinegar. I just haven't seen any others at the stores.
Mr Mac - Duly noted re the batteries!
G, Ja das stimmt. Ich bin ganz überrascht daß wir so gleichartig sind. Something to brush up your German with.
Marilyn, thanks. I'm glad you found some stuff to laugh at.
Andi, thanks for the pass. She isn't always Little Miss perfect but she is nice to have around.
You know, it's so lovely to read the comments of a man so obviously in love with his wife. Kudos to the two of you, you obviously have exactly what it takes.
: )
The only thing that sticks after reading this (along with everyone else) is the Chicken Flavored Ruffles?!?
We have crappy flavors here in the US. BBQ, Sour Cream and Onion, Chedar Cheese.
I loved when we went to the UK they had GREAT flavors, like Beef.
