Twenty Questions' list of answerers

Nev of Waterlily has just posted his Twenty Answers, so I've created a list of those bloggers I know of who are taking part in the Canal Boat magazine game (see the list on the right).

The questions are :

1. What's your favourite canal?
2. And your least-favourite?
3. Who would be your ideal cruising companion?
4. What was the last book you read?   (I reckon the question should be "last waterways book you read, not including magazines or canal guides")
5. What's your favourite time of day on the waterways?
6. What irritates you most on the waterways? 
7. When would you most like to have lived? 
8. When did you last fall in?
9. What did you want to be at 12?
10. If I didn't have narrowboating I'd ... ?
11. Narrowboaters are ... ?
12. After a day's cruising I most look forward to ...
13. The waterways need ... ?
14. If you met the Waterways Minister on the towpath, what would you say to him? 
15. Windows or portholes?
16. Pumpout or cassette?
17. Canals or rivers?
18. Where will you be when you are 70?
19. What do you think is your greatest achievement in life?
20. What would your superpower be? 

As good a selection of questions as any, I think.  There's an element of randomness to them, but I can't think that are any that are better, just different.  Since this is Canal Boat's game, let's use their ball, eh?

Sarah of Warrior, in her own post on 6th May, thought it would be a good wheeze to withhold the questions and make you guess them from the answers.

Canal Boat, unfortunately, doesn't put the original feature online, but DogsOnTour has not only given the answers but has also given the questions too, so bang goes Sarah's element of the game!
