CALLING ALL AQUARIANS!

Post categories: , 

Jarvis Jarvis | 13:06 UK time, Sunday, 23 January 2011

As we have entered the New Year 2011, we thought we’d try something new, a Sunday Service first.

 

We decided to set up a Sunday Service Survey, with an astrological feel. The idea is to get to know you, the listeners, a little bit better.

 

So calling all Aquarians -  born between January 20th – February 18th - we'd like you to answer some simple questions.

 

Leave comments below with your answers and we’ll collate the information.

 

What is your favourite colour?

What is your favourite band?

What is your favourite vegetable?

What is your favourite mode of transport?

What is your favourite Double act – musical or comedy?

 

This feature will run throughout the year so every one of you can get involved!

    1. Did you know that the color blue is not actually in the visible light spectrum? A survey of newborn babies has revealed that they cannot actually see the color until they are culturally conditioned to recognize its absence as a sort of "placeholder" between green and indigo. It is because of this conditioning that humans have a preternatural attraction to blue in all of its forms and have frequently fingered it as their favorite color in international polls.

    The Monks

    3) its a tie, between tomato (for its versatility) and courgette (for its texture and flavour...actually its quite versatile also)
    4) bicycle

    05. initially i was not exactly sure what a 'double act' was. my first answer was 'leonard cohen + miami vice' but perhaps that qualifies as more of a 'double threat'? in that case, mr. burns & smithers

    * please note that i prefer most fruits to vegetables, and was somewhat devastated to learn that 'avocado' was not an valid option for this field.
