Tilly’s Blog Jubilee: Day Three

30 Jun

 

Three Six Word Saturdays To Celebrate:

Today’s My Actual Blogaversary – Three Years!

Hope You’re Enjoying The Old Posts.

*

I had great fun last year, tormenting the WordPress prompters who helped us to write a postaday2011.  Rather than show whole posts, I have selected some of my favourite responses.

*

What non-exercise activity do you wish would keep you fit?

You all think I’m going to say ‘Eating Maltesers,’ don’t you? Guess again. And keep guessing until I hear something I like, then I’ll use that one.

*

Describe the perfect crime.

Someone breaks into my house and cleans it.  If they steal the Hub’s crap, that’s a bonus.

*

What’s the biggest lesson you learned so far this year?

WordPress prompters can’t grammar.

 

 

How do you decide who to be friends with?

What’s to decide? In TillyBudland, it’s friend until proven unfriend; I don’t see why I have to choose.  I have disliked very few people in my life, but even then I have been friendly to them. It’s just good manners.

Bonus: What defines the difference between a good friendship vs a close one?

The amount of gifts they bring me.

*

If you started a music band, what would the name be?

WordPress & the Prompters.

*

If you got a tattoo, what would it be?

News to me.

*

Make a prediction about life in 2021.

I will be posting 105 times a day.  You have been warned.

*

Describe your first job interview.

Boss: Your Mum says you’ll work hard; is she right?

Me: Yes.

Boss: Here’s your desk.

Who says nepotism’s a bad thing?

*

 

What film have you seen more times than any other?

The Terminator. Sigh. The greatest romance ever.

What? We’ve had this argument before: he came across time for her. I rest my case. 

*

Write a sequel to your favorite movie. 

Terminator 5: John Connor finally nails those buggers.

*

What is your favorite way to procrastinate?

Let me think about that and get back to you.

*

Do you like surprises?

Yes, and if anyone wants to throw me a surprise birthday party when I turn fifty, I promise to enjoy it.

[Not particularly funny; I threw it in as a hint]

*

How do you know when it’s time to go?

I get a little damp patch around my lower-middle area.

*

Why does corruption exist?

Because it works.

Can it be stopped?

Bung me a fiver and I’ll see what I can do.

What can bloggers do to help?

Lend you a fiver?

*

Write about the one that got away.

I lost a Malteser in March 1997. I know this because I found it under my bed in 2006, alongside a copy of a letter typed in the same month. You’ve gotta love carbon dating.

 

*

And finally, my all-time favourite response to one of the prompts:

WordPress Asked: Does Grammar Matter?

Does grammar matter?

Faints.

    Why exercise with maltesers? Opening the packet takes no energy at all. Half fat Philadelphia uses far more during the spreading – and you can eat twice as much (or so says the advert) 🙂

    Good ones, T.Bud ~~ It looks like you really had fun. It might have been too bad that I’m a Saturdays only friend. I’ve missed a lot of your good posts. I sure do relate to Hub’s ‘stuff’ [please don’t call it crap :)]

    Will you do it again? I would if I didn’t have soooo much other ‘stuff’ to do!

    There are two reasons that I miss the prompts, one is that it made blogging easier because I answer easily, coming up with a post is much harder and two, you are the Queen of taking a prompt and doing things to it to turn it into something funny and creative.

    you are one very funny lady..when I read about blogging in 2021 I immediately thought ‘ that don’t affect me I’ll be dead’ but maybe I shall still be here , hopefully still blogging at 81 you never can tell !! I loved every bit of the rest…does that deserve a Malteser but not the one you found under the bed !

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
