TAGGED AGAIN....WHY ME MEME?

I was tagged by Pauline to answer five questions. Gee thanks Pauline, love you too!

Yeah go over and tell her how unfair it is!!

1.If you could remove one evil from the world what would it be ?

The evil that is responsible for people, men and women alike who abuse children. All the talk seems to be catered on things like punishment and conditioning, just get rid of whatever evil that makes them do it. It can’t be done and it won’t be done but if I could remove that evil I wouldn’t stop until I succeeded!
Meanwhile look here for ways of combating it, ok?

2. What is your most enduring memory of your teenage years ?

If by enduring you mean is still very well remembered and even now and especially since July 1st related with gay abandon then it’s a school memory! Even though I left school at 16 so it only covers 3 years. Oh let me explain properly…..
I’ve smoked cigarettes since I was about 12 with the exception of about 18 months and that was about 25 years ago. I was always getting in to trouble for smoking especially at school.
The three rules were : #1. You mustn’t leave the school premises without permission, #2 Under no circumstances (it being a catholic boys school) were you to be seen around the corner at the girl’s school, #3 Strictly No Smoking in school uniform.
Well three days out of EVERY five guess who got caught breaking all three? Oh it wasn’t just me but it was one hell of a reputation to keep up!! Was never beaten either so I was told at the one and only school reunion I ever went to!!
So it’s a physics lesson in the science lab and Mr Bernie McConnell is in the chair!! “Today we are going to look at air and other crappy gasses, I never really listened and see what happens when blah de blah…….(sleepy)…….Well it was the afternoon – after I’d broken all 3 rules! “Wilkinson, let me have a cigarette” “Sir?” “Let me have a cigarette” “Don’t smoke sir” “Just give me a cigarette..please” Now my Dad was away at sea and where everyone else had Park Drive or Number 6 I always had Rothman’s, State Express or Dunhill and always king size and always Singapore duty paid written down the side of each cigarette. So I take my fag packet to the front of the class, open it up and take a cigarette out to give to him. Leave the packet I might need another one.
He lit the cigarette and took great delight in taking long drags filling his boots as well as his lungs in front of the class. Did the lousy experiment and all the swots with their noses turned up yes even then wondered at how marvellous it was. What did he do he sat and finished the cigarette saying things like Oh how nice it is to be able to smoke while I’m teaching. End of the lesson picks up the packet which must have had 14 or 15 in and said, “Pick your cigarettes up after school from the staff room”
Anyway to cut a long story short……..WTF?………I went to the staff room after school , knocked the door and asked for Mr McConnell – Oh he’s gone! Why did you want to see him. I want my cigarettes back. Oh they’re yours, he left them (Thank F for that) and the teacher handed me the pack with just 2 left in it. Meanwhile there was achorus of Oh Ta Wilkinson! Thanks for the fag! Wish I could afford Rothman’s! Can your Dad get me some!!!
Well even now I still relate that story especially to anti smokers and really for no other reason than to state that once even teachers smoke!!

3. If you were to leave everything to one good cause what would it be ?

Easy and quick this one. It wouldn’t be to the organisation that I dedicate over 40 hours a month to as a volunteer. Because by the time I’m in a position to leave everything to a good cause they will have had enough from me!
No question about it the RNLI.

4. What was your greatest treasure as a child ?

This may not be strictly true but was certainly the easiest! Ted! Original name hey? He looks older than me but I’m told he was ‘born’ when I was about three! The red feet are patches, the part fur and part leopard skin coat is to cover a multitude of sins, the red ribbon round his neck is because basically his head came off!

The silver medal incidentally is a medal given to everyone who went through the new Mersey Tunnel in 1934 which me mum did and it’s hers. Ted just wears it like we would a birthday badge.
Oh and easy because he’s up in the bedroom as the great patriarch of all the other soft toys that have been acquired over the years!!

5. If you could choose anyone at all, who would you invite to dinner ?

You might have already guessed if you didn’t in fact already know that I am a bit of an egotistical, smoking pervert!
Well this question was going to be the one that redeemed myself. Some wise old well dead philosopher or politician or architect or artist or ………..
MADONNA!
My only worry given how much I fancy I mean admire her is having anything to eat or just eating very little very quickly to get to the dessert!
However the question was to do with inviting, not doing!

I am now supposed to come up with five questions and five people to answer them and although I know I’m risking eternal damnation I’m not doing either!
However if you want to answer this one question either in my comments box here or make some more up and do them on your own site just go for it!

My one question is this,
IF YOU COULD WAKE UP TOMORROW HAVING GAINED ANY ONE ABILITY OR QUALITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
