Snarfed from [livejournal.com profile] emperor:


Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does:
If this really only allows CDs, I'll go for the implausibly-named It's A Drug, It's A Drug, It's A Ha Ha Ha, It's A Trojan Horse Coming Out Of The Wall (American Gothic) by The Very Things.

If we're allowing vinyl, I'd prefer to go for Raw But Tender by Jaki Whitren.

Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does:
Mr Blossom's Shop by Barbara Euphan Todd.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does:
Hmmmm... tricky, I'm not really a movies person, as you all know. But I'd be surprised if anybody else has the silent movie (annoyingly retinted, with soundtrack by Rick Wakeman) of Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney.

Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has:
Even trickier, as I am poorly-travelled, so I will have to cheat and choose somewhere small and dull and just hope that it's obscure enough:
Wymeswold
Willoughby Waterleys (damn you, [livejournal.com profile] hairyears!)
Robertsbridge. (Not dull, actually, but hopefully it'll fox the Leics rambling mafia!)

(If I'm wrong on any of these, please correct me!)

CD? Sheer bad taste can surely exclude all possibility that anyone else I know owns 'Ray of Light' by Madonna. Failing that, 'The Madonna Remix Project' by some chap from the Orb + various digital rights & freedom campaigners. Released as a tribute to Madge's 'WTF' mp3 message to file-sharing fans.

Book? Going Postal by Pterry.

Movie? Tricky. I own very few. Er, three. LOTR box set, Unforgiven and Blade Runner. Someone's bound to have them all.

Places visited? Ballylynan, Co.Carlow. Skull, Co.Cork. Penetanguishine (SP?) mission museum, Ontario. Enfield. Gumley, Leicestershire.

Said Nile, who's been to and through Wymeswold repeatedly with the Ramblers' Association.

I certainly have a ripped copy of Ray of Light, can't remember if I ever got round to buying the real thing. It's fantastic, though!

And I own Unforgiven (but have never watched it) and Blade Runner (which I have watched). Sorry!

You win on Wymeswold; I will revise that one forthwith.

I win on Willoughby Waterleys, too! The Ramblers' programme of walks aims to cover every public footpath in the county over a five-year period, and I was a regular between 1981 and and 1985. There are odd corners of the county I haven't put mucky bootmarks on, mostly in the Loughborough RA's 'patch' in the far North-West, and the bits beyond Hinkley, covered by their club's programme.

Cycled through there, too: it's a nice quiet run between Piddling Parva and Piddling Magna for those too knackered to belt home on the A50.

Buggeration.
I will aim for a different area of the country!

Try a different country. Switzerland?

Oh, come on, everybody on my flist has been all over Europe.

I suppose I might have got away with Bruson, except that [livejournal.com profile] sion_a has stayed at the chalet with us before.

Oh, well; I've only been to Geneva, and Biel.
