Bit of both really but I'd be more inclined to underline passages. Though I havent had to do that since Year 11 LOL. Seems like donkey-years ago now! :lol

On note taking...Pens:

Fountain or Biro (or Rollerball if you prefer them)?

Erm...again it depends. For drawing and sketching, you can't be a regular HB LOL. But for note taking etc. mechanical pencils are great

Watching an event. Is it better to:

Be there live with possibly a poor view or watch it on TV with the perfect view

^ Depends on the event I reckon.
I daresay in case of horrible disasters most would prefer to be on the safe side of the TV screen (not implying anyone to be a kind of TV-screen disaster tourist).  ;)

I prefer back-up.  I never like playing first, even in tournaments.


What do you prefer...

Early-bird or Night-owl?

Ditto there! Neither! :x Dont like additional sauces on food but if forced to choose I'd probably go with mustard but I'd rather not have any

Movies: Do you prefer to watch them?

In the cinema or on DVD at home? Genuine copies of course ;)
