THE SUNDAY ROAST QUESTIONS

Welcome to the Sunday Roast
Please answer within two weeks if possible and in Black and White please.
I've found it easier to send and receive by email with pictures/photos as file attachments.

Please forward answers to my email address:

Title

We Need a witty/humorous/suitable heading based on your blog title and/or something about you, maybe from your profile. I can help with all of this.

Then the introduction

Some want their full names, some Christian and some completely incognito - either is fine. Everyone is different. Up to you.

 This week's interview is with Mickey the Budgie
who writes the blog, Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

Thank you for the interview, Mickey

 

A very warm welcome to you and your followers

Then perhaps add two photos of you if you wish.

Please make them high definition.
Some add little graphic piccies used for their commenting.  Nice to have these as well.

Then the standard questionsPlease include all the hyperlinks if you can - saves me a bit of time.

Here's the first of the standard questions. Why do you blog?

What's the story behind your blog name?


 

What is the best thing about being a blogger?

What key advice would you give to a newbie blogger?

 

What is the most significant blog post you've ever read?

What is the most significant blog post you've ever written?

Which two blogs would you recommend for roasting?

(more if you like)

Then some more funny questions. If you are uncomfortable answering any of them just pick the ones you feel you can answer, or even omit them all . . . but most bloggers are brave and go for the lot!!)

 

That concludes the formal aspect of the interview but it would be nice to get to know you a little better while you are slowly turning on the roasting spit.  So while you are screaming in agony above the open fire here are a few more questions for you.

Pick three things you can't live without.

If we were to make a movie about BlogLand, what would it be and who would you cast in the leading roles?

If you could live your life again who would you be, and why?

You have been given a wonderful talent from above.  This causes you to make your mark on humanity and be world famous. In which area would prefer: a best selling novelist, a brilliant artist, a gifted musician, a fantastic singer, a charismatic leader, anything you choose, and why?

If you were an ice cream cone, which flavour would you prefer and who would you most want to lick you?

A bit naughty but it usually gets a laugh - leave the last part off if you wish.

Describe in one sentence your perfect day


 

If you were a fiction writer which one would you be and why?

(Leave out if you wish but it has proved a real ice-breaker if treated lightly)

. . . . and if you are really brave . . . . 

If you awoke to find you had changed gender what would be the first and second things you would do?

(Probably scream I would think! . . . . and then scream again!)

Your turn to ask me a question if you wish.

(The questions I have had to answer!!!! They love to put me on the spot LOL and I love it too. However some ask serious questions and I reply likewise.



That's it folks - the invitation is open to everyone - and its great fun.

THE SUNDAY ROAST

Well, I can see you are a little curious so I am going to tell you a little about The Sunday Roast.

It is an interview column founded by David McMahon on 3rd February 2008.
Originally it asked just serious questions but some humour permeated through into some answers by the more extrovert roastees.

David asked me if I would continue the feature when he took a break from blogging in Oct 2009 and I have been Marinating, Skewering and Roasting people ever since.  They just love it!! LOL

The main purpose of The Sunday Roast is to enable bloggers to get to know each other a little better, and sometimes very well.  It encourages people to read your work and to comment . . . and, yes, to follow your blog. Just look on me as a match maker in your life! LOL

We have some fun getting the interviews together with the humorous questions and interface with some light hearted banter, which the readers love, but there are some serious questions as well, which gives the interview a very well balanced flavour.

Now are you hooked, aren't you?  Good, because I think you would make an ideal candidate for the Sunday Roast. Everyone in BlogLand is a valued blogger and has a valuable point of view with unique skills.

So sign up now and as a reward I will give you the password to leave this place called Socrates' Soliloquies and be transported by magic back to Clouds and Silvery Linings from which you will see your escape route.

But you don't want to escape do you? LOL

My email is:

eddiebluelights@gmail.com

WRITE TO ME and I will send you ALL THE SUNDAY ROAST DETAILS free of charge.  Just say Socrates invited you and I'll know from whence you came.

OR Leave a comment BEGGING ME for a piece of this action.

I expect to see a zillion comments here by tomorrow morning LOL

There have been some great people amongst the 140 bloggers interviewed by David or myself and I think you should be numbered amongst them.  David did 84 Roasts and Yours Truly has done the rest.  I have listed ALL roasts a linked them to their relevant Roast Posts, HERE .

Do not be modest - join this elite band of bloggers who hold their heads high in BlogLand. My press gang agrees with me entirely and INSISTS that you WILL board this ship. LOL

I am introducing also The Sunday Roast Supplement, called The Sunday Re-Roast, which gets previously roasted bloggers, who feel they are safe, off their backsides so they can answer my new questions.  I will be writing to them all to invite them onto the show again and the queues have already started for them to feature - so BOOK early!.

So you want to get out, do you?  ONLY IF YOU LET ME ROAST YOU!!!

OK?

OK Press HERE to escape - Now you really want to be roasted don't you! Well don't you?

So why not see the questions?

Maths Problem Answer

Here is the question again:

There are eight doors in a row. Behind each door is a number. Each number is less than 20. No two numbers are the same, and the numbers on the doors are in order.

• three of the numbers are prime numbers
• two of the numbers are square numbers
• two of the numbers are multiples of 5
• five of the numbers are even
• three is a factor of two of the numbers
• there is a run of two consecutive numbers, and another run of four consecutive numbers.
• the numbers sum to 93
What are the numbers on the doors?

How did I do it?
I used a spreadsheet, Exel

I tried to satisfy the 4 consecutive numbers first 
Then the 2 conscutive numbers

And here is the answer:

2, 4, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18

It all equals 93

2,  11, 17 are the prime numbers

4, 16 are the square numbers

10, 5 are multiples of 5

2, 4, 10, 16, 18 are all the even numbers

15, 18 are factors of 3

10, 11 are the two consecutive numbers

15, 16, 17, 18 are the four consecutive numbers

They are dummy blogs, you dummies LOL

You have just made Eddie's eyes light up.

Two of me for the price of one!!

New Experimental Blog

Hello my dear friends

I hereby introduce you to my home for experimental work, Plato's Ponderings as opposed to Plato's Procrastinations.

We cannot get any peace and quiet at Clouds and Silvery Linings with all the every day distractions.

By special invitation you are invited to my inner sanctuary for the purpose of fellowship, discussion and debate, away from the rush and tumble of normal blogland.
