I have three grandsons – couldn’t possibly choose one favourite. So currently I have a favourite big boy, a favourite little boy (that’s him in the photo) and a favourite baby, and that’s how I get round it. Here’s an EOTWQ that’s all about favourites. So…what’s YOUR favourite 1 Pudding (dessert, sweet, afters – whatever [...]

I am so happy to see so many posts on the ‘Spill. Recently it seems you log off for half an hour, log back on and there’s a couple more up. Are we finally settling into WP? I really hope so. Anyway, loads of great new stuff; the 30 day challenge and the weekly posts [...]

1. The Royal Wedding: do you care? 2. Can you think of any monarch, past or present, who really earned / earns their keep? 3. If you live in a country with a royal family, are you happy with the set up? Or would you prefer something different? 4. If we could vote for a [...]

The first crocuses have just come out, and the light is good and overcast. I know i should get my camera set up now for the year and go out and get my first shots. I didn’t have a good night’s sleep, i’m tired and don’t feel like it. But in springtime plants bloom and [...]
EoTWQ (Don’t Quote Me…)
Posted in EOTWQs on March 9, 2011 | 25 Comments »
1. “Football isn’t a matter of life and death – it’s much more important than that” quoth Mr. Shankley much to the bewilderment of a large proportion of the population. But he had a point. What sport/hobby/pastime or other seemingly trivial (to many) activity do you take so seriously as to produce bewilderment in those [...]
Some Domestic EOTWQs
Posted in Cooking, EOTWQs, Housekeeping on March 2, 2011 | 31 Comments »
I don’t really have time to do this properly, and I really ought to be doing several other things – but since everyone else is clearly in the same position, that is going to provide the theme for these last-minute stopgap EOTWQs. Apologies for the fact that they’re rather mundane, but it’s that sort of [...]
EOTWQs – Where does the time go?!
Posted in EOTWQs, Musing, tagged DarceysDad, EOTWQs on February 23, 2011 | 55 Comments »
This is Julie’s latest exercise – not really a time-waster but it IS an album cover for a record that doesn’t exist! She was doing it to hone her newly-taught Adobe skills, ahead of her next assessment at college. I know I’m getting in a little early, but that’s kind of in keeping with my [...]
EoTWQ from bluepeter
Posted in EOTWQs on February 15, 2011 | 54 Comments »
(bluepeter asked me to post this because the techie side of things is daunting- he’s promised to do the next one himself. Meanwhile here’s another addition to the flow of posts requested by Shoegazer). 1. “How many ‘timepieces’ do you have ?” Some while ago after a ‘heated discussion’ with Mrs bluepeter about time keeping, [...]
EOTWQ waxes nostalgic

So, when I was looking out my B sides the other week, I couldn’t help but have a little muse about my Dansette. As you know, I’m hoping to move house this year; and I won’t be able to take all my stuff with me. I definitely DO want to take my LPs, 45s and [...]
EOTWQ has got the munchies

1. What’s the best thing you can put on toast? 2. If I say “childhood” – what’s the first thing that springs to your mind? 3. Coming over all Prince Charles, if you could destroy one building (without hurting anyone in the process) – which would it be? 4. Tell us your favourite anecdote about [...]
EOTWQ

Seems that recently all I’ve been doing is Earworms and techie show off posts! I thought it was about time I actually did one of my own and seeing as no-one else has bagsied EOTWQ, I thought I’d start there. I’ve got a couple of Spanish music ones in the pipeline (a demo put together [...]
EOTWQ really should go to bed….
Posted in EOTWQs on January 12, 2011 | 82 Comments »
1. I should go to bed right now, but there’s something stopping me, maybe I don’t want the day to end without doing a bit more living. Sometimes I can’t get to sleep ’til I’ve spent equal time lying on all the sides of my body – but what keeps you up at night? 2. [...]
Coincidence City (where it’s two to one)
Posted in EOTWQs on December 1, 2010 | 9 Comments »
A few months before I had my Tom Petty epiphany, I chanced upon this album of surf music. The notes with it implied, rather intriguingly, that the Blue Stingrays weren’t a real band, but a nom-de-disque of a very well-known band who happened to be into surf music. Well, I like surf music so I [...]
Would you…/ Could you…/ Should you…? Or in other words the EoTWQ
Posted in EOTWQs on November 17, 2010 | 41 Comments »
1. I never even tried to learn to ride a motorbike. Most of the time I feel OK about having missed out on this but there are times that I see people on bikes having a lot of fun and wish that I had. Is there any essential or peripheral life skill that you didn’t [...]
EOTWQ – The Outdoor Type

I meant to post these questions back in early summer, but, you know, stuff came up. So here, unseasonably, they are now. And here’s some music to get you in the mood (or possibly not). See that picture? That’s where we camped back in July. St Agnes, Isles of Scily – last landfall this side [...]
Grumpy EoTWQ
Posted in EOTWQs on October 14, 2010 | 24 Comments »
Yeah. Maki’s in a grumpy mood… 1. This morning I had to park in the middle of a quagmire because my student had forgotten to reserve me a space in his company’s visitors’ carpark. So the day didn’t get off to the best of starts! To make matters worse when I went to retrieve my [...]

S’pose we has to have some questions, but why not aim higher? Is the world ready for ‘Spill – The Motion Picture? 1. The Pitch: How to approach this cinematic masterpiece & acquire some cash to get it made? Remember to keep it simple if you’re trying for big bucks from Hollywood – it’s like [...]

MITCH HAS BEEN TRYING TO POST THIS FOR A WHILE AND ASKED FOR HELP. ALTHOUGH MY NAME IS AT THE TOP, THESE ARE ROCKINGMITCH’S FIRST EOTWQ’S… 1. The Con-Dem mob who are currently our government are keen on reviving the “Blitz” spirit and justifying their ludicrous “all in it together” mantra. Bearing in mind that [...]

EOTWQ (or should I be waiting for Blimpy to start a new month?)
Posted in EOTWQs, Uncategorized on September 2, 2010 | 44 Comments »
This week’s theme: Home Economics (in the broadest sense of the term) 1) My back yard – can’t really call it a garden – currently looks very much like the above photo. [OK, our bench might not be in such good nick]. Is it really worth destroying the weeds (I’m thinking in particular of a [...]

1. Are you Don Quixote or Sancho Panza? The idealist tilting at windmills or the realist wondering where the next meal is coming from? Or maybe a bit of both? 2. What famous work of art (picture, sculpture,*edit* building, etc – you choose) really blew you away when you finally got to see it “in [...]

Time to Answer Their Questions!
Posted in EOTWQs on July 13, 2010 | 45 Comments »
We’ve been doing our best to come up with questions for each other for a long time now. It gets harder and harder, although Abahachi’s excellent set clearly struck a chord with most of us last week. Now, I hope I’m not jumping the gun here, but I thought it might be fun if we [...]
