This was in response to my wanting to tag along with my older brothers and cousins, which they very often didn't allow me to do. I can still feel the burning frustration of being limited and controlled against my wishes.

What song makes you rock the karaoke mic?
Submitted by Ann.
My last karaoke experience was at home, with family, more than 10 years ago. It was a wonderful night, so much warmth and laughter. Everyone had a turn, including the ones who didn't know the words (we didn't use a karaoke machine, just a hi-fi with a karaoke setting), and we finished with a group rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. It was stunning.
We made a recording of the night's performances, it's one of the few recordings that exist of my late aunty Ayesha's golden voice. She was a treasure... I miss her so much.
What comedian makes you pee your pants laughing?

Not a single one, but a duo: Mitchell & Webb. Their radio show (That Mitchell & Webb Sound) is hysterical. The TV version of it is less screamingly funny, but still prompts a chuckle. :-)

Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right"
