Cheap ones, or semi cheap I guess. They do a similar job.
I do wear glasses all the time so I have the option of tinted glasses instead.
Do you prefer serious or light heart questions on this thread?

Do you prefer serious or light heart questions on this thread?
either or both, its good to find out real things about people, but we all need a smile every now and then as well.
Does my sitting on the fence annoy you?
Only if it derails the conversation and causes people to picket the thread.
Where do you hope to be in life in 2020
Still above ground is a good start. Would love to have a couple of acres of land with a couple of horses, a goat a donkey and a Komondor dog.
Are you happy with your own company, or do you need to be around other people?
Other people don't need my company so I should stay on my own but I also dislike me so I'm not happy, so......
Would you like to get letters ( not the usual bills or ads ) by mail?
Yes. However these days everyone is on facebook or email, so I will never get any.
The closest is Christmas, receiving cards from far away, with words of kindness on, despite the fact I haven't met them for years
Do you like Garlic?
Without being a vampire I just hate it and I get sick if I eat it. My coworkers are so rude and eat at work and I'm about to faint. I can only tolerate it mixed
with mushrooms and mayonnaise
What about you? Do you eat garlic?
I like Garlic. I am not mad about it, but I enjoy Garlic bread and it mix into other foods sometimes.
Will you go to the cinema soon?
I'd like to but it doesn't depend on me. If a very interesting movie would come soon I'll try to go.
Do you like cartoons?
No..As a I kid I guess I did (spiderman was the main one) but as an adult I dislike cartoons/animation/comic inspired movies etc. immensely.
What was your favourite tv show from your childhood?
Arthur of the Britons. Kai is still the man of my dreams.
( now I'm so ashamed that I'm going to hang myself :s)
What sport did you use to watch on TV when you were a kid?
Tried to watch football, but in NZ especially when I was young all you got was rugby and horse racing.
What is the best live event (sports, music etc) that you have been to?
2008 British Grand Prix. It was my second Grand Prix, but first with other people and the atmosphere as Lewis Hamilton dominated in the rain was electric.
The racing all down the field was great too, with passing and drivers in slow cars doing well.
How many times a week do you go to a shop?
Depends on which shop you are talking about :p:
grocery - 2/3 times - mainly for milk, veggies & fruits
How often do you need to fill up your fuel tank?
I filled it up today. Shall I get back to you when it runs out :p. Probably once every 3-4 weeks. Hard to say, because most weeks I do short distance, but every couple of weeks I might do a long run.
Do you still buy music on Vinyl or CD or do you digital download now?
at work I use an online streaming service that I will not name here :). At home I still buy music, the quality is much better than digital. The high and low range tones are better, you lose most of these when digital compression happens.
What major event (that you havn't already seen) would you most like to attend?
Olympic Games or a football World Cup. Although I'm not as enthusiastic as in the past.
Are you annoyed by people who speak your language with a regional accent?
No. I like the differences between all the accents here. It is amazing for a small country the difference in accent and dialect.
Do you notice accents in foreign languages to you?
Only in some French speakers ie. French and French-Canadians, otherwise "It's all Greek to me."
Was the ideas of Esperanto a good idea? i.e one common world language?
Yes. Why not?
Have you ever been hit by your parents?
Once by my mother that I remember.
Do you think it right to forbid parents to chastise their children?
I don't know. It's not a good mean to educate a young kid but I admit everybody may have lmits of his nerves. I also admit I've seen spoilt kids that behave so annoying that were asking for some shots.
Have you ever been beaten by a teacher?
A couple of times only - for no fault of mine :eek:...now that kind of thing does not happen in schools (atleast city schools I guess)
Do you tend to do some chore/work much before its deadline or are in a hurry at the end?
I tend to do it before but being a lazy ar*e I'm in a hurry at the end.:p
Do you get on well with your boss?
Yes outwardly most of the time, however I have a constant feeling of being on edge around her. She seems slightly two faced. In terms of nice one minute and then speaking in a tone that scares you.
Can you swim? If so how often do you swim?
I was a national level swimmer through my teens and early 20's, then I made my living as a swimming teacher and coach for a number of years. To be honest, now days I don't go near swimming pools. I haven't swum since I started the job I now have which is six years ago.
What is your fav physical activity (keep it clean it is a family forum :))
Football all day long.
I play 11 aside on Saturdays, and 5-10 a side Tuesday and Thursday.
Failing that cycling
Did you cheat at exams at school?
We hadn't exams in school apart from those to be admitted in high school - a tough one and impossible to cheat and the one for the second level of high school when I hadn't any motivation to cheat. OK, I admit I copied a bit at the math baccalaureate exam from the guy who stayed in front of me but only because all the class chose the geometry subject and I wasn't studying it for the uni exams.
But generally I was a stupid girl who was afraid to copy at control papers even when the teachers indirectly invited us to do it.
Have you whispered the right answers to your colleagues when you were in school?
NO!! (feigning righteous indignation). Just a look at my exam results will make this obvious :). I passed all my exams, but didn't tend to leave much room for movement.
What is the worst lie you have ever told?
My life. :p
See my question above.
Occasionally, but if they asked, I was more likely to give them a wrong answer. If they couldn't be bothered to study and learn, why should I do their work for them?
What is the fastest speed you have traveled at?
Whatever an airliner (not Concorde) can do, about 600mph I think
Given the chance would you take a trip into space?
YES!
Do you like rollercoasters?
No. I am a bit of a chicken/coward when it comes to those sort of things.
When was the last time you went to a fun fair?
About 3 years ago when I was on holiday.
Did you like the merry-go-round when you were a kid? If yes do youi still like them?
Yes I did, I also like bumper cars/dodgems, spinning tea cups, log flumes, and swings.
What do you make of "Euro Troll" Gate in the "whatever happened to" thread?
I think the real one might be back. I remember him mostly as studiose though since I wasn't very active in the EuroTroll period :p:
Who is the next old-timer who will be back (or appear to be back?)
I wish it would be either Ioan ( although we fought all the time and he insulted me ) or race aficionado whose comments I missed a lot during the World Cup.
Who of the old forumers do you miss most?
Race aficionado (and Eki :evil: )
Do you like international breaks in football? (Euro qualifying is boring and one-sided as hell and friendlies are absolutely worthless)
I do like International football full stop, so I love the international break.
England are playing San Marino this week, I would love an England double figure win, but really I reckon 4 or 5-0.
Do you watch your national football team on TV?
