          The questions:

          how many pets do you have?
          what are their names?
          do you have facial hair?
          how many pairs of shoes do you have?
          and what size are your feet?
          how many windows are there in your house?
          and how many are double glazed?
          where is the hq of your end client?
          and how many people are employed by them?
          who gave you your first proper kiss?
          and when was it?
          when was the last time you went to the dentist?
          and how much did it cost?
          have you ever done a poo outside?
          have you ever broken any bones?
          have you ever been in jail?
          have you ever broken anybody else's bones?
          have you ever had cosmetic surgery?
          what kind of surgery was it?
          have you ever been inside a burning building?
          have you ever chopped down a tree?
          have you ever bought a piece of ikea flat-packed furniture, damaged it while putting it together and then thrown it away?
          have you ever been on an ocean cruise holiday?
          if so - what was the name of the ship?

                      I expected something of greater significance for your 6000th post.
