The latter part of your last one is interesting CP.
I think I probably relate telephones to "work" as I have to talk on the phone all day. Love skyping.

5.  My favourite TV show or Movie is :  Stargate - of course!

6.  Summer or Winter : Winter (and the rest - but I love the cool weather)

I must look at mine and see if I have changed.

Well done DJ.
My selections haven't changed. I thought it was a little weird. Must mean I'm happy or something.
