Question

Hello All,

First of all I would like to thank you guys from coming back over and over again and answering all the question I keep coming up with. I know they are not the best question, and you could probably do better but I have really enjoyed hosting this.

Becuase this is the 10th time I have hosted Common Answers ( Im counting the first one which it was call "Common Questions"), I have decide to ask all the common questions on a common theme which hopefully all you will releate to, and even might find amusing for a minute or to. All these questions are on a simular theme which should hopefully appeal to you.Also the answer to question nine is "I read your post". If this is going to continue, if you guys have some good question, just add them to your PM, i'll give you credit. It is harder than it looks.

Im sure you guys are getting board of this, it has been going twenty days and some of yous have answered every time, well done for that. It your your contined involvement which keep this coming back. If you guys are keen I will keep this going, If you would like a slightly different game I'll see what I can come up with.

Anyway I have wrote enough here, im sure only half the people are going to read it, lets get to the questions..

I guess more than one person said Jane was a liar, including me! :P But I didn't call you a liar, I called the Jane in the question a liar. :)

Prehaps, I should of picked a different name, I had not intended the Question to be directed at you Jane, am I sure no one else has. Jane was just the first name I though of!
