    I dunno, maybe Stacy Lewis. Perhaps not a celebrity but at least I would no longer have to work. And maybe she could help correct my slice .

    What are you doing on Nov. 11th?

    Why? Are you organizing something?
    Nov 11th in the orthodox calendar is St Victor and it's my fav cousin's husband anniversary. He's a great guy and a supportive friend and I'll try to get some free time to go to them and congratulate him.

    What will you do on the same day? ( is it a holiday? )

    The family is going to the municipal Memorial Park to pay our respect.

    Do you have to equip your car with snow tires?

    Unfortunately there are organisations dedicated to global domination, eg Al-Qaeda

    Have you any idea how we can curb the Islamic fundamentalists?

    Outside of a new virus that only attacks a certain state of mind, no.

    If the only way to stop those same radicals would be to wave a magic wand which would instantly kill all of them and you had the only wand, would you use it?

    No, because absolute power corrupts absolutely, and by using such power, wouldn't the user be as bad as the problem he/she is trying to fix with it.

    Would you rather go on a holiday tour, on a bus with 45 other people, or go on holiday with your self and whoever else, and do what you please?

    I would never, never, never want to go on a holiday tour with 45 other people. No matter how interesting the itinerary I just could not stand not being able to view things at my own pace.

    Have you ever visited somewhere and later regretted missing something?

    Went to Loch Ness once and never saw Nessie. Was back in Liverpool a few years ago and had the chance to go to Liverpool's last home game of the season against Bradford City. It was the last game before the Kop was seated. I didn't go because my cousin was coming round to where we were staying with his new baby, and we were flying home the next day. I don't regret missing the match and catching up with family as family are more important, but I do regret not being able to do both.

    What is the strangest, oddest or most interesting place, thing you have visited?

    Strangest- Poas, which is a volcano in Costa Rica. Been there several times and it seems every time it's covered in clouds. (Or maybe it's just shy.)
    Oddest - The Gulf of Fundy in Nova Scotia. The tides, which can be 30 feet or more, are amazing.
    Interesting - Yellowstone Park in the US. The geothermal activity at many different sites around the park are something to marvel at. Must be seen at least once in a lifetime.

    What do you think is the most important invention of all time?
