Friday Five from the 23rd September

Do you have a dream you will always strive to achieve until your dying day?
Escape from TSC. Right now, it's my only goal. Long-term? I'm going to end up on a remote part of the coast of Scotland somewhere.

Do you believe in fate or free will, or something else?
Fate and free will, I believe them to both be the same thing but packaged slightly differently.

Marilyn Monroe. Conspiracy or tragic accident?
No idea what you're on about.

Favourite childhood sweets/candy?
Flying saucers!

Favourite cocktail (alcoholic or virgin) and it's ingredients?
I don't do cocktails really, wouldn't know what's in most.

Friday Five from the 16th September

Who is your mobile phone provider, and how many minutes are in your plan?
T-Mobile. Staff plan. £2/mo (well, actually free now for TMUK employees!) for 500mins on-net, 30mins x-net, 500 SMS, 5 MMS, 13Mb of GPRS usage, heavily reduced data charges.

If I had to go on a standard, publically available plan - it'd be Everyone 500 Off-Peak, at £20/mo and 500 off-peak minutes, can't go wrong.

What program do you primarily use for instant messaging?
I don't use any one over any other. If I load up one, the others start too (MSN, Yahoo(!), AOL, ICQ).

Who do you send and receive text messages from most?
Jane, and my mum.

What area code do you live in?
I could be cheeky and say "44" but I'm sure that is just me being a smartass. 01226.

What year did you first get an e-mail address and do you still use it?
Back in 1995, when MSN allowed you access to the internet for real, instead of the "walled garden" approach they started off with, I signed up with Geocities as "phil-99@geocities.com". This email address no longer exists, which is a true shame. However, the name lives on in my accounts on here, Mono, okCupid, MSUK, PPRuNe, wherever I can have it.
