It is rarely on tv, and even if it is - India v Nepal/Bangladesh isn't very appealing. (and in the wcup qually stage we get hammered as well as Asia cup)

Have you been to many live games? (higher level league /national games)
3 top level games
England 0-2 Chile
England 0-2 France
West Ham 2-1 Southampton
What are you doing now?
Well, the TV is usually on but our team is so boring and play so ridiculous that I don't bother to watch. It's most like listening to what happens.
What do you like more, the FIFA world cup or the European championship?
Oops , I just did a D-Type.....
It's 23.25 so I'm in my bed with the tablet on my belly and I'm listening ( again) to my fav TV show. I'll probably fall asleep while typing and wake up at 1.00.
What are you doing now?
PS Steve, you definitely don't have to go to England's matches....:laugh:
I prefer the World Cup, simply because there is more variety. The African and South American teams have a completely different way of playing than the Europeans (apart from the Brazilians diving and rolling around on the ground most of the time).
How can diving (cheating) be removed from the game?
Since the on field refs seem blind to it, use video (by a tv ref like the 3rd umpire in cricket) who informs the main ref about any blatant diving - a straight red should do the trick.
What type of lamps do you use at home? (CFL/bulbs etc - I was just reading abt the Nobel for physics this year and the Japanese inventors of the blue LED got it. Really energy saving and hopefully it will mean the end of normal bulbs in the near future)
Ordinary bulbs for ordinary girls like me.
The old fashioned ones that aren't fabricated anymore in EU
How much do you pay for electrcity?
$ .1570898 per kWh (US). We just redid our kitchen and used all LEDs for the lighting, both ceiling and under cabinet. The rest of the house is a mix of CFLs and conventional light bulbs.
What sort of heat do you have - oil, gas, electric, geothermal, solar?
For two days I have a gas heating central and I'm a bit nervous about how it will work. It took me about 2 years of fighting with our bureaucracy system to get all the papers right. Before this I used wood and it was a nightmare to get such fuel, to start the fires, to watch out the fire, to throw out the ashes, etc. In the last 2 years I used 2 electric radiators that were too small for the big rooms. I trembled of cold all of my life and now I hope it will be finally OK.
Same Q as I'm really interested.
obviously the wrong person for that q..but yeah a lot of natural solar heat ;)
so same Q.
Gas fired central heating like most houses in Britain. After the late summer today is the first time we've had it on.
Let's go the other way. How do you keep cool in summer, or for Storm, in the hot season?
Except for my bedroom it's quite bearable in my old house. When I slept in that room I kept the door open to a hall and get some cold air. The best thing is that I can live without air conditioning but I admit I don't wear too much clothes in the house ::p
Same Q
I have several fans, although they just move the air around rather than cool it. Otherwise its just a case of getting all the windows open.
Do you/would you enjoy an traditional open fire for the cold winter nights?
No. I'm scared by fires since my house burnt when I was very young.
When do you start to heat your home?
This 'winter' I hardly turned the heater on at all, we had maybe three days where it was cold enough to light a fire, but otherwise, we had a warm (around 15 centigrade) winter. The down side of this is that most of the flu and cold bugs that die off in the cold stayed active and everyone is less well this spring that is normal.
Does cold weather make you feel alive, or does it depress you (personally I love it.... but I am a bit odd :))?
I love the cold winter weather, I love snow, but wish we had a bit more of it in the UK. A few years ago we had 3 or 4 winters in a row with quite a bit of snow, but last year it was warm.
Gadjo doesn't like the cold and snow though as she tells me I am mad.
Do you follow Tennis?
To be honest Steve tennis is one of the only sports I don't watch, for some reason it bores me to tears (but as I said I am a bit odd:)).
Here is a deep philosophical question.
Imagine there is a train speeding towards a broken bridge. It has 100 people on board and they will all tragically be killed when the train plunges off the end of the track. You can save them all, but the only way of doing so is to push a complete stranger into the path of the train.
What would you do?
Nah...Only when Simona Halep plays a big tournament.
But where are the days of my childhood when I didn't go to bed before listening the results of the most obscure tournament and had copybooks with all the results? Nobody could move me from TV in the days of Davis Cup.....
Are you interested in politics?
:s late again
To answer anfield's q:
I'll call anfield who's odd enough to find the right solution.
Are you interested in politics?
Not telling, now that you have called me odd!!
Nah..... just kidding :)
Not really interested in politics on a national level, but world politics is a different matter.
Thinking about world affairs, especially economics. My dads former boss came up with the idea that every country should cancel their debts to every other country, and the whole world should start with a zero bank balance. i.e. no country owes any other country anything.
Would this work, considering that almost every nation is in debt to every other nation?
Ceausescu had the odd idea to estinguish the country's debts and he really did it. When he died our debt was zero. How can you do this when you don't have a competitive economy? Cutting all imports and sending to export everything that may bring some money. Life was a nightmare cos all our food was exported and our shops were empty. Even basic products like bread, oil, sugar were rationalized. Even toilet paper was a luxury. Then we had to save energy so electricity was cut whenever they wanted, hot water was available only a few hours/day, radiators in our homes were mostly cold.
We lived like animals in cold, darkness and hunger and guess what. Those who came after him managed to increase again our debts.
Have you ever baked a cake?
I bake quite often, not so much cakes any more (I dont eat much sugar) but I make my own bread most weekends.
Do you like the smell of fresh bread?
Yes. Unfortunately the smell makes me eat it.
Would you have liked to work for police?
Kinda depends on what country I am living in. But on the whole, looking at the NZ police force I would say no. They do a difficult job and deal with some quite terrible situations and people, and don't get paid enough for the job they do.
How about being a fire-fighter?
I've said I'm afraid of fire so no.
What about working as a bodyguard?
:laugh: Don't think I am body guard material. Scared of too many people and things.
What about working as a Paramedic/Ambulance person?
It's a bloody difficult job (pun intended). But the rewards can be quite good it terms of feeling good about what you do.
What is your personal ideal in terms of a relationship (male or female or friend or lover)?
Don't know if I understood the Q. All I ask for from those around me is a bit of sensibility and refinement. I'm fed up to deal with the rude pragmatic type of persons who'll pace on corpses to reach their goals. I also appreciate a good sense of humour, I can't see myself around serious people but then again I dislike the rude sexual jokes. Then I'm aware I need someone to pull me out of the monotony I'm indulged to. I don't get to see very often my best friends but when I do I realise I need new clothes, I have to read a good book, I have to go to the theatre, etc. and to be again the interesting and modern person I used to be.
Do you post on forum when you're at work?
In short yes... sort of. I post from my work computer, but not usually during work time, apart from sometimes.... most times... always.
Is this a bad thing?
No. Helps you to relax. :p
Has anybody at work noticed you post on a forum?
I'm sure the IT manager knows, but it is fine, as long as work is done. While my trainees are busy on their own projects/work, all I would be doing is sitting and watching them.
It is a big sporting weekend down this end of the World. Bathurst day is Sunday, the A-League kicks off, the ANBL starts and over on the dark side the first Russian GP is happening. Are you looking forward to any sporting events?
Yeah, we'll play again against Hungary in European Championship qualifiers. It's a big rivalry between these two. Like Liverpool vs Man U.
Do you like honey?
Who is she? Or if you mean bee poo, then yes, but I try to avoid it as I do with most things that are sugar rich.
If you had to lose one of your major senses which one could you best live without?
sense of humour :p
Do you drink directly from the bottle or do you use a glass?
It depends on what I am drinking - beer, soft drinks from the bottle, wine - usually from a glass, milk - urgh
which is worse - a high fat diet, or a high sugar one?
both are but if I had to choose - high sugar is worse
Do you like fried foods? (who doesn't) what's your favourite?
Yes. Fried peppers in tomatoes sauce. Macedonian dish and my fav food. Unable to cook it though.......
Do you use to wear a tie?
Only on a few (very) rare occassions. Never needed to wear one for my job and although I like it, the weather here means I am not likely to wear one unless someone has a gun pointed to my head.
Do you like people who are smartly dressed all the time?
No. It's ridiculous to go to the peasants market with a fur coat ( My best friend does :laugh:). Matter of fact I like smart clothes but not too elegant like those you have to wear at a wedding or reception. If I have to spend much money on a outfit I like to wear it often not just once.
Do you like to wear jewellry?
No, I only wear a watch, but not for jewellery purposes.
If someone gave you a free weeks holiday in Tuvalu, what would you do with your week there?
