The perfect question - inspiration required please

Aitch · 08-07-2010, 08:18

As you may have seen MB and I are going to a recording of the podcast ‘ The perfect 10’ by Phil Jupitus and Phil Wilding. The format is that they pick 10 questions from the audience and use these as a springboard to talk crap for 30 minutes (see MB's thread in forum meets for a link to their website). I would like to put in a question - something witty that is Roo related - but as my brain is full of baby thoughts I need some help.

I had a question included at the Brighton show and since boozing with Phil W afterwards, bumping into him at random gigs and FB correspondence they are aware of us as fans and they know we are coming along with a well baked bump. So any suggestions?

As an example here was my previous question:
‘On visiting Brighton for this show I decided a run the morning after would be the perfect way to clear my hangover. As I forgot my running kit I had to buy new gear from the shops. What important things have you forgotten on a trip away?’

Thanks

I like the sound of that show

Unfortunately my brain is fuzzled thanks to a cold

But I'll have a think.

If you could have a Roo sized pouch, what would you store in it for 9 months instead of a Roo?

Ha! Love it Desmo!

Just ask him 'why' and watch him start smoking and burst into flames like the Professor in the Prisoner

Or was it the General? I forget, it was in the 60's.

What would you do if your mind was transported into the body of a baby, knowing what you know now and what you could get away with?

If the first answer isn't 'grab boobs' I'll eat whatever hat you proffer.

"as an expectant mother, of what seems to be an antipodean child, what would you suggest I use to distract my English husband with when he starts asking difficult questions?"

Ha ha! Some great suggestions which helped get me thinking. In the end I went for:

'As a pregnant lady I have found people to be very curteous of my needs and indulgent of my demands. With only 12 days to go I don't think I've really exploited this! If you were a pregnant lady for the day what demands would you make and what liberties would you take?'

It was selected as item 3 and I had to read it out *yikes* but I was really happy to get my question on the show. The answers were predictably random and rambling but included eating lots of cake and cow pie, pretending to be drunk on the tube and 'riding the moodswings'. Phill W came and chatted to us afterwards to wish us luck and suggest 'Phill' or 'Wilding' as a name!!

It was a great evening and I'd recommend anyone to listen to the podcasts and attend their live shows. As Roo had a mention we'll be keeping mementoes from the show to share with Roo - when she is old enough for the language and content of course
