I also love the picture of Nick she put on her post! Wow, PK!
Of course, Dan looks very similar!
1 He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen?
The News, Grand Prix racing, old comedies such as Only Fools and Horses, any 'cop' series the bloodier the better.
2 You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad?
He only eats salad when forced. Then he has Hellmann's mayonnaise. He likes it with chips too. (as in fries)
3 The most striking thing about his physical appearance?
His eyes. I love his hands too. And his lips.
4 You go out to eat and have a drink; what does he order?
Gin and tonic - usually Blue Sapphire with a slice of lime and some ice. But he also likes a real ale (that's a draught beer often from a smaller brewery) like Bishop's Finger or Lighthouse.
5 Where did he go to high school?
In a large city where we lived before moving here.
6 What size shoes does he wear?
Size 8 1/2; but they are metric sizes over here now.
7 If he were to collect anything, what would it be?
Dan collects EVERYTHING! He is hopeless! I was horrified when I inadvertently opened an old tin whilst searching for something else, and his "baby teeth" fell out!!!
8 What is his favourite type of sandwich?
Tuna mayonnaise; vintage Cheddar with Branston pickle; egg and cress; smoked salmon and cucumber.
9 What would he eat every day if he could?
Bacon and eggs
10 What is his favourite cereal?
Shreddies
11 What would he never wear?
The colour pink
12 What is his favourite sports team?
Ipswich Town Football Club
13 Who did he vote for in the last presidential election?
We don't have presidents over here!
14 Who is his best friend?
Me! But he has about three really good male friends who he has known for over 30 years.
15 What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do?
Interrupt him when he is talking, especially if he is telling me something he wants me to take note of.
16 What is his heritage?
He is what is known as a "Lincolnshire Yellowbelly". He does, however, have an American president in his direct family tree.
17 You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind?
A Devil's food cake or a chocolate fudge cake. He loves them both.
18 Did he play sports in high school?
He was a very good tennis player.
19 What could he spend hours doing?
Going to football matches (soccer), discussing the merits of certain fast cars, lying in the sun when on holiday (he never burns), watching Wimbledon on TV.
20 What is one unique talent he has?
He is excellent at public speaking and just exudes confidence.
These husbands do have very similar traits.... although P is sadly lacking at sports.

Laughing - is it a "Bing thing"? (Obviously I've watched far too many toddler programmes on CBeebies! No sports over here these days!

Ami,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. It's interesting to see how husbands are alike.
Megan
Thinking about it, I suppose they all have certain traits that women would never have in a million years - mainly because they wouldn't have the time to perfect them! LOL!

Ami
Megan, do you have a blog because I don't go on Google+ ?
DeleteJust realised I have your blog on my list! I must be losing my marbles!
DeleteAmi,
ReplyDeleteDan is one good looking hunk of a man. You are a lucky woman, my dear. I want to write a post and use the word "whilst"
Meredith
When Cali first mentioned me using the word "whilst" she couldn't believe people over here used it, but it's true. I now notice it in nearly every book I read written by English writers. Now I think I'm getting a complex! But I really like the word - it's old fashioned and easy on the tongue. I think you SHOULD write a post with WHILST in it!
DeleteHugs
Ami
Love this my friend! That Dan is such a character! I do picture him in pink now! Don't tell him...LOL he will be upset you shared!
ReplyDeleteMeredith! That cracks me up! Maybe we should all write a post and use Whilst!
Ah no, Minelle! He hates pink! The nearest I got him to wearing it is a sort of raspberry pink winter pullover. And he doesn't wear that very often although it suits him.
DeleteYay! Both of you must write posts whilst you are in the mood for it!
Hugs
Ami
Wow Dan is gorgeous:)~ I opened up my blogroll and found this georgeous man starring at me! This is a fun meme thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI soooooo wish I could send you a real picture of Dan when he was in his twenties/early thirties. He looked very much like the above picture, except in those days there was no such thing as designer stubble. In those days it was only when you forgot to shave. I have to admit I have always been attracted to dark eyed smouldering types. Sigh.

Ami
Lillyanna - Do you have a blog as I don't go on Google+ ?
DeleteI'm trying to picture Hellman's on chips. Loved reading the answers.
ReplyDeleteFries though, not crisps. Hellmans mayonnaise is yummy. I like to dip my chips in it as well. Much nicer than tomato ketchup. I like it to make Coronation chicken as well as the curry powder blends in easily.

Ami
Thanks Ami for sharing more about Dan. I'm also picturing him in a pink shirt and he looks good. ;) I'd join him in eating smoked salmon and cucumber but Hellman's on chips or salad...pass. ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
Smoked salmon sandwiches with the crusts cut off! Wonderful and very English! I am sorry, Cat, but I absolutely adore mayonnaise, and rarely can be bothered to make my own. I also love a Spanish mayonnaise called Allioli (can't remember how to spell it) which is a traditional garlic mayonnaise that they bring you with crusty bread before every meal in Spain. Yum!

Ami
As we've pointed out before our fellows could be twins, loved the picture! You can tell us who he voted for for Prime Minister. And which president is he kin to? Inquiring minds want to know. Great answers.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking he voted for Cameron, but there weren't really much in the way of alternatives this time! We rarely discuss politics as everyone has their own viewpoints and are entitled to them. I wonder, truthfully, whether there are any politicians who are really worth voting for. They all say one thing and then go ahead and do another.
DeleteThe president wasn't very popular and didn't last in office for very long, but he is in Dan's direct family tree on his mother's side, and not that many generations ago. His name was Warren Harding. We had a letter from one of his descendants who was tickled pink to have found he has some distant Brit relatives, and who was very nice to Dan's mum.
Yes, our men are like peas in a pod apart from the golf. Except it is patently obvious you are getting far more action than me at the moment! (Narrowing of the eyes here)

Ami, I am so enjoying hearing about the guys. When I wrote a post about Sam last week, PK found this meme. It has become a way to see just a snapshot about the men we all talk so much about. Thanks, Ami. Dan sounds like your perfect match.
ReplyDeleteHugs across the Pond,
Ella Ever After
Thanks, Ella. Truly, Dan and I are a very humorous couple in real life as well as on the blog. He is one of those men who seems to know just what words suit the occasion. LOL!
DeleteThe meme is good fun, isn't it?
Hugs
Ami
Love reading about Dan. Seems a lot of our men are similar. Does he like aoili?
ReplyDeleteP never burns either and there's me looking like a lobster.
Love,
Ronnie

Ha! We both love aoili! At least that way we BOTH smell of garlic!
DeleteSnag is that Dan is dark and I am fair - but I only burn if I am stupid and don't put any sun cream on. Usually 20 is sufficient for several hours, but occasionally I miss bits, and then I look like a jigsaw puzzle!
Hugs
Ami
Hi Ami, wow, Dan is gorgeous! you lucky thing :) Enjoyed reading this and learning more about him. Interesting about being related to Warren Harding, my stupid tablet just wanted to write Shakespeare lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dan on No's 9 and 17 :)

Roz
Hahahahaha! He DID look like that twenty years' ago! Now he is silver-haired, bless the man. Suits him rather too much!
DeleteI, too, love all things fattening!
Hugs
Ami
WOW...He is a looker....interesting learning more about our...better?...halves.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
I sooooo wish I could send you a real photo of a much younger Dan. I tried my best to find a photo that looked a bit similar. Sigh. These days he is silver-haired, but he still looks good to me.

Ami
So cute, Ami! Thanks for sharing.
