    I will watch until England is sent home (that will take care of the first week then ) then prob watch selected games after that.

    If you had to get up in the middle of the night to watch Euro (like we do down this end of the world) would you bother?

    I'm fool enough to post on the forum in the middle of the night so probably not. However I'm famous for falling asleep during late hours matches.

    What are you doing when you miss somebody?

    I get a little sad, but remember the fun we will have when we meet again.

    Its raining to the point of flooding here. Have you ever dealt with floods?

    The climate around here has changed over the last few years and we started having torrential rains in summer. Those were quite rare but very spectacular. The drainage did not have enough capacity to cope with it. As a result, after some brief but powerful rains we would have floods in downtown with sunken cars and basements full of water. I even heard stories of people riding water bikes in the streets. Now the city authorities have improved the drainage so we no longer have that problem.

    Have you ever got sunburnt in a funny way?

    In April I managed to get sunburnt while skiing (the lovely google tan) but while it was completely cloudy and overcast. I had a stupidly red face and had to put up with people saying "there's been no sun". The worst bit about it was that I'd joked with someone else in the morning because he'd put suncream on!

    Have you ever seen a tornado/twister?
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Not really, no. A couple of years ago I saw one beginning to form. It was kind of eerie as it was a small "tail" beginning to descend from the bottom of a layer of very dark, dense cloud. As quickly as it started it dissipated.

    Continuing on the meteorological theme... Have you ever experienced damaging hail?

    No. Never had that level of hail. Only marble sized stuff which hurts when it hits you.

    Do you look back at the past and ever think "wow" I cant believe where life has taken you?

    Yep. When I was a kid the biggest phobia of our generation was to be drafted to the Soviet army and sent to fight in Afghanistan. The army was withdrawn from there before I hit the draft age. Yet I got to work in Afghanistan many years after on a commercial basis and that was a huge experience.

    What was the most dangerous place you have visited?

    Are you afraid about getting old?

    Nope. Its something which you cant battle or stop, so go with it. Just makes you think that you should make the most of it.

    Same question
