      Awesome question, me.

      I'd be a Creme Egg, because everyone eats it differently.

      As for who... I'd say someone special.

      Only to get quality, such as with electricals or cars. Not for things like clothing.

      Then again, walking around with budget or crap brand names on the front of your T-shirt can have a negative effect.

      Confidence. I lost it many years ago, and I've been trying hard recently to regain it.

      Not really.

      However, kids these days have no boundaries and can do whatever they want, whenever they want, day or night.

      I think parents should enforce boundaries, with some level of force. Beating your children up is the wrong way to do that, but locking them in their bedroom would drill the message home equally.

      We have to be conscious of safety, but they're safer locked in their bedroom to finish a tantrum than smoking joints in a back alley.

      I see myself having the time of my life, in the job of my dreams, living with my husband and generally being awesome. I hope.

      I don't plan on moving abroad. It might be one requirement to give my career the momentum I seek, but I'm not keen on the idea.

      I am partially asian, but I don't know any of my relatives down that line.

      As for my British relatives, I told a couple of them. They don't like it but they've come to terms with it.

      Most grandparents won't understand. Don't think that you HAVE to come out, but I would recommend that (when you're ready) you at least come out to the people you live with. But remember, even if they don't like it, they'll still love you.

      Personally? If someone called me a 'nigger' then that would just be weird, especially if they meant it offensively.

      In general, it depends entirely on how it's intended. I don't think people saying it to friends casually is a problem - but of course they should be careful not to say it to anyone (or in front of anyone) who could take offence at it.

      If they mean it as an insult, then they are of course horridly wrong and really shouldn't hang around in a multicultural society like ours.

      Of course, I think people are absolutely entitled to be offended by it, given its history. I don't think it should be banned outright in every situation, but I don't think its use should be encouraged.
