Talk-trait of the Nation

If you could be anyone in the world, who would you be?

An A-list celebrity

A world leader

A reclusive millionaire

A secret agent

A UN peace negotiator

A richer version of me!

My idea of a perfect evening is:

Curling up on the sofa

Enjoying a few at the pub

Hanging out at a trendy club

Going to the cinema

Catching up on my beauty sleep

Playing video games

It's Friday and you cannot wait to go home and relax. Just as you're leaving work, a colleague asks you to go for a drink. Do you:

Feign illness (cough, cough)

Join them for a swift one

Find yourself dancing on a table 3 hours later

Get dragged there regardless - no-one ever listens anyway

Promise to go next time

Say you'll meet them there, then go home and text an excuse the next day

You have a long train journey ahead of you, what's going to keep you entertained?

The latest magazines

Work... and then sleep

I have a built in DVD player in my laptop!

A tragic memoir

Catching up on texts and calls to friends and family

Who cares? I just enjoy the ride

My idea of a perfect holiday is:

Going anywhere with close family or friends - it's the company that matters

A high-end resort, with NO children!

Somewhere I can just sunbathe and escape

Disneyland

A safari

What's a holiday?

What's your perfect pet?

A cat

A dog

None, I hate the responsibility!

Fish - they seem to survive even when I forget to feed them!

A parrot

A virtual pet

My ideal first date would be:

Going out to eat

A trendy bar

The cinema

One where they actually turn up!

Anything I like to do

Whatever they want to do

How do you feel when you phone and get someone's voicemail?

I don't mind - they're probably screening their calls

It frustrates me - I'm sick of only ever talking to machines!

I wonder what they're up to - and why I wasn't invited!

Phone? Why would I call when I can text?

I don't think too much about it, I guess they're just busy

I just leave them a message to fix-up a time for a proper chat

A colleague at work has taken credit for a piece of your work. Do you:

Silently seethe - but say nothing

Immediately email the boss

Have a quiet word with them

Scream at them in front of the whole office

Who cares? I'm going out with the boss!

Sleep on it... then promptly forget

It's your birthday and you want to organise a party. Do you:

Send a group email to all your friends

Leave a message for a few friends, but find yourself celebrating alone

Create a big Facebook event - this will be the party of the year!

Make lots of plans in your head, but forget to invite anybody

Phone your nearest and dearest to organise something small and intimate

Text a few friends, and then worry that nobody will turn up

You've received a voicemail from a close relative asking you to call for a chat. What do you do?

Sigh with relief - they've finally returned your call!

Wait until you're at home and make a long call from your sofa with a mug of tea

Text or Facebook them the next morning with all your latest news

Plan to call for a proper chat but only manage 5 minutes out of your busy day

Nothing, they'll call back if it's important - besides you've got places to be

Text to say you'll call on Sunday evening as usual

You've got some really great news. How do you tell your family and friends?

Update your Facebook status - it's much less hassle

Throw a party, climb up on the table and announce it to the world

Plan out who needs to know, and in what order, before you call

Ring your nearest and dearest and give them all the juicy details

Send a few texts and then get sidetracked - the others will find out anyway

You ring your friends and leave a voicemail, but hear nothing back
