What would I never, ever give up?	my friends/family who have always been there for me in good times and bad. Failing that, my hair straighteners (have you seen me without them ? lol)
If I had to give a speech on a subject I was passionate about ...	domestic violence (although I did one in college about being against the death penalty and got a distinction for it ).
If I could visit anywhere in the world at any time in history	It would have to be Australia, I visited it some years ago and fell in love with the place and people plus I have relatives living there too.
If I had a million pounds to give to charity	a womens refuge or a homeless shelter (either of them in this country or another country).
My "and finally" section ...	i dont bite message me, nothing ventured nothing gained. if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got, its not the years in your life that matter its the life in your years. you dont stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing. never limit your view of life by any past experience.
