This blog has been tagged by the indispensible Daniel1979 (who is a co-conspirator over on Biased-BBC) with a meme….and although he offers all of the Eye site collaborators the chance to take the worm I’ve gone first up. The GOT and St Crispin are welcome to dive in (the water’s warm!).

1. Has there ever been an occasion when you failed to notice that you have paid your mortgage off months, possibly years in advance, and just had not realised?

I keep an eye on all seven mortgages but I’ve not checked on the Cessna recently…cheers for reminding me.

2. Does your property contain a moat?

No – peasants are hung from the battlements. Drowning would be not allowed on expenses but rope is.

3. Do you think you could in good conscience accept a salary and allowances whilst not actually attending your place of work or office?

If I did then I’d send my CV to the BBC tomorrow.

4. If you were told that it was within the rules to go jump off a cliff, would you do it?

Only if I was an extra on “Lost” and knew that I’d strangely come back to life for no real reason at all.

5. Are you able to tell the difference between a room in a house, and an actual house?

Room – retreat for quick fumble under mattress. House – place that random girl takes away from you in court 9 months later.

6. Are you able to commute a distance under 35 miles for work purposes without the need for an additional house being provided?

Dunno. The chauffeur makes things work. Not sure of his name (he’s only been with us four years) so still call him “Steve” and hope. Other people call him “Dave” so am getting twitchy recently.

7. Do you know what an Iron is?

Irony is what my cleaner does to my shirts on a Thursday.

8. Is your TV or Stereo likely to need an upgrade in the next 5 years?

Stuff the TV, have a great new laptop.

9. Do you have a warped sense of humour OR Do you have a helipad?

Helipad? Which of the yachts are you asking about? Please be more specific.

10. If you did need two houses to live and work, do you think it possible to designate one as a main home, and stick by that decision for the duration of that employment?

TheEye would probably nominate his one with the largest wine cellar.

11. If you work in a different place to where you live – do you find yourself, or could you envision, eating twice as much food as you would if you lived more locally to work?

TheEye can only trough so much caviar. After that it doesn’t matter where you live because you just have to quit.

12. Do you know what a pergola is?

One of my castles has one…wooden shed thingy…John Prescott played croquet on the lawn outside once. He was crap but I let him win.

TheEye doesn’t normally do memes so will compromise by tagging his co-conspirators the GOT and St Crispin. Also Bill Barnett from the Jury List who is a great supporter of Gibraltar and the unstoppable David Vance.

UPDATE: Tory Poppins is now tagged too.
