    Inspired by a forum that is no more that had a lively community about a TV sitcom, which is also no more (Futurama's Futurama Fan Forum) - This forum had a unique practice of an open Q&A. Where a member, if they wanted, could start a Q & A thread where you get to ask the thread starter 1 question about their opinions or experiences or anything like that as well as other things you might be curious about.

    Ask me anything you might want to know about me.
    If you want, you can start your own Q&A thread where I'd happily return the favour and ask you a question to answer.

    I wouldn't mind getting waxed. But... Some women find a hairy chest sexy and I'm not fussed either way, but if have my my chest waxed (as well as my back and arms)... Then, I wouldn't be surprised with myself.
    • Water, Evian or supermarket value still water. I'm considering subscribing to a water cooler service and getting water on delivery, but I haven't shopped around for prices yet so IDK how much that costs.
    • No offspring to my knowledge.
    • I've never counted them, they are English (every form of English I've heard I understand, I was raised in a part of London where everyone my age spoke or understood Jamaican). I remember basic French from secondary school, the school I attended never offered us a choice and the syllabus here made the qualification of a second language a part of finishing secondary school a.k.a high school. I went on to college to study Japanese, I can read and write in Japanese as well as speak it, basic Japanese. Japanese is something I learn as I use and I've made using Japanese #hashtags on Instagram 'a thing' so I don't forget Japanese.. I've found this aids my Japanese as well - by learning new words and how to spell common phrases in the harder main alphabet of Japanese, on Instagram. It's probably offensive that the only Dutch I know is Heineken and hagel slag and now thanks to Instagram, Londen and gitaar - despite the Netherlands to date being the only foreign speaking country I've been to. (I went to Amsterdam, everyone spoke English 'virtually')... I mean it, I came home from Amsterdam the first time I went and all the foreign languages I heard walking through my neighbourhood here in England that night from Eastern European to Arabic or whatever, stood out to me, after 3 days in Amsterdam. Spanish is a socially learned language for me. From my amigos y amigas from Bolivia, the Philippines, Mexico, Ecuador, Argentina and this one Spanish nurse I knew from this club in Soho. The odd phrases and words from German, Norwegian, Polish. Some African word my ex girlfriend from Uganda taught me that I can't for the life of me spell. It means white boy. I also learned a Grenadian word for white guy from a Brit who grew up in Grenada I liked in college from Brixton 'Jahblah'...

    (Released by the Jimi Hendrix Estate this was a tasteful and loving double album released to let those of us not lucky enough to have been alive when Jimi Hendrix was working to enjoy his music. CD1 is Studio, CD2 is Live and it comes with a really cool booklet as an album sleeve in the middle that tells you all of this from his estate). - I really like the music/album and, I thought that bonus booklet they had was very cool.

    Not yet, but, I wouldn't mind other such threads so I can ask some other users on here who I'm curious about, and then perhaps, within time, this could group to a sub section full of Q&A threads by different regular members so they could join in in all the fun too and we all can go there, visit these threads and ask stuff, as well as check if we've been asked anything that we get to answer too (if you've got your own Q&A thread) in such a 'Ask the members' sub section of members. This approach is a municipal and communicative process carried out in a most direct and personal way.

    Tea bag, boiling water, let the tea bag sit in the boiling water 'this is known as the brewing process' remove the tea bag after minute or so, add milk, sugar, you're ready to go.

    Or, tea bags, boiling water, into a tea pot.
    Keep the tea pot warm (like put a cosy on it to keep it cosy), pour to your heart's desire, add milk, sugar, you're good to go.

    Earl Grey has no milk but I'm a heathen and I drink it with milk.

    You can also use honey to sweeten your tea.

    We have little bags of tea produced, called a tea bag.

    That's Tea English style.

    People add tea to milk, but then, some people sit and wipe, so, whatever.
