Perhaps a little silly, childish, or whatever, but it made me smile:

This originally came to me in chain letter email form, but I thought it was better than most.

So I've decided to share it with you lot! I've tried to make it as friendly as possible - you should be able to copy and paste it into a text editor and retain the linebreaks when it is posted back.

For those who don't understand HTML, the <br> characters are the linebreaks - at the beginning of a line to make life easier.

Use your Mudcat name if you prefer, and answer only those questions you are comfortable with. Please try to resist looking at anyone else's before you post your own!!

Should make interesting reading...
