What's the most beautiful-sounding word you know?
Soliloquy. Nice flowing-river sound.

Tell us a joke? Or, if that's not a proper question, can I give you a hug? *Hugs and threatening gestures at the PMT fairy*
Three men walked into a bar. You'd think the last two would have learnt from the first one, wouldn't you?

Oh, and you can give me a hug any time you like.

what one question would you ask me if I were doing this?
I'm no good at thinking up questions for people; others who are doing this will have noticed they don't have any questions from me. Perhaps I'd ask you what the fuzzy bit around 'Rachel' means in your system-diagram.

What are, in your opinion, the five best things about you? (You are excused from modesty for this answer;) )
My intelligence. My faith. My pretty blue eyes. Carlie, my inner dancer. Callie, my inner child, who can still laugh and play in the fresh new world every day.

Will you clean my room for me?
No. I think your floor is probably toxic.

Why do you have "You can always email me if you're really bored." on *every* *page* of your website?
Because I don't have enough content on most of them, so that makes it look like I have more. Also because I started off liking the idea of thinking up a new way to say that on different pages, although I ended up copy-pasting. But by then it was too late 'cos it was no good having it on just some arbitary pages and I didn't want to go through and delete it everywhere.

If you could be an operating system, which operating system would you be, and why?
I am an operating system, it's called InsaneOS 1.7, and it's rather unstable. I'd like to be Mandrake Linux - slightly more geeky than the usual run of OS's, but still friendly and with pretty graphicy bits.

do you enjoy being menzies-like?
No. Being menzies-like depresses me slightly. But if I wasn't answering questions I'd only be writing more bad Harry Potter fanfic.

When will you be around on talker(s)?
When I've stopped being The Big Bad Grumpy-Monster. Probably Monday evening, although I might be feeling too dead on Monday.

Why?
There are only two good answers to this: 'Why not?' and 'Because.'. I prefer the latter because it can be shortened to ''Cos' which is only one syllable, essential for winning The Why Game from the non-starting side.

What question don't you want us to ask and what's the answer?
Anything that is about things other people have told me not to tell you about because it concerns them. And I would simply not answer - I merely told you to ask me a question, I didn't guarantee an answer - although I would give you reasons why not (which would boil down mostly to the above). Of course, telling you example questions may lead you to guessing the answers, which is also not permissable.

Any chance of email in the future for such occasions reading "Neil I won't be on talkers because of [TTOTM etc] until [estimated date]" so that I don't have to spend a couple of days hanging around in the hope you'll come on and worrying about you?

A "I *probably* won't be around for a couple of days due to [TTOTM]" would still be wonderfully helpful (I don't keep track of your periods after all).

At the time that image was made there were several people around identifying as "almost but not quite rachel" that were a real pain to pin down. Hence fuzziness.

Is the last answer designed to confuse people?

Well I understood it, but then I've asked that question before (who was it who did steal my question anyway?).

Actually I'm not convinced by that last answer.

You see of all the really unpleasent questions someone could ask of me questions which ask for confidential knowledge of other people are actually deeply trivial:

Yu just respond as you hinted (can't answer that because ...).

It's the questions which you don't have such a neat get out for that would be a pain if someone asked them.
