> 1. Marmite or Bovril?

Bovril

> 2. How many paperclips can you find when you really need one?
> 3. Question 2 also applies to pencils.
> 4. And safety pins.

See the cheeseburger poll...

> 5. When you pick up a magazine, do you start at the back and work your way forward? (please tell me that I'm not the only one in the world who does this.)

I start at the back. It catches them by surprise. I want to read magazines that have been well designed, not designed to lead you through from the front. Fight the system. Etc.

> 6. If you have ever watched "While You Were Sleeping", have you ever gone and tried on all your old jumpers in the vain hope that you will look like Sandra Bullock? This question may only apply to girls. That's not to say that guys can't join in though.

No comment.

> 7. Peppermint or Spearmint?

Peppermint chewing gum, spearmint mints.

> 8. Annoying paperclip man on Microsoft Word 'on' or 'off'? You know, the one who pops up, winking profusely to say "Looks like you're writing a letter...need any help?" when you type "dear". NO I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!!! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!!!

See 2, 3, and 4. I found the option to remove him from the installation. I've never been so happy to see the standard Windows help system. Bliss.

> 9. Do you draw your curtains in the summer?

Yes. I combust in direct sunlight.

> 10. Which yoghurt is always left in the fridge because noone wants it?

Plain. But a more important question is, do you lick the yoghurt from the top of the lid first or after you've eaten the rest? And if you're eating a "fruit corner" style yoghurt, do you dump and mix or spoon bits from each section?
