I have an old NZ football shirt signed by the 1982 All White's who went to the World Cup in Spain. Not sure if it is worth much, but I like it.
Are you sentimental about things?

Are you sentimental about things?
Yeah. Very. My home is full of old stupid things with a sentimental value. I even keep the so called memories album, a copybook where school mates and friends wrote a few things about me and the ''oracles'' where the same friends had to answer the same questions. I have old jewellery from my mum's engagement, old letters, my dad's driving licence and many many other such things which normally should have been thrown away.
Are you romantic?
No I am a guy :). But in truth I guess I am, but you would have the ask the other half (which will be difficult because I haven't met her yet :()
Is romance a dying art?
I guess so, but what do I know... I'm a guy :p: .
Are you good at numbers?
Better than my wife, but she's better with people.
Can any woman read a map!
Who knows women to say?
Have you ever run a marathon?

as to the Q, no - I haven't run more than 1 km in the last few yrs - my ankles feel the strain and I can't run more although I would like to. I can walk a lot but I don't :(
Do you like climbing hills?
I do, but I do not live near many, so rarely get round to it. However if I am somewhere with a hill. I will climb it
Have you ever been to fly a kite?
Yes. I use to spend some time at my cousin's holiday house. It's on a hills area and we spend a lot of time wandering in the neighbourhood.
Would you like to live in a city on the mountains?
About the kyte:
We tried to build one when we were kids but it was so rudimentary that didn'fly. :laugh:
Used to watch people at the seaside playing with such things. We were se poor and we haven't such things in the shops anyway....And I was impressed by a guy who had one in a vulture shape. Asked where he got it from he said Brazil. Still wonder how he went to Brazil on those times.....
Would you like to live in a city on the mountains?
Yes to mountains...But I would rather live in a small town/village in the hills.
Do you need to wear gloves often? any type.
Only on cold winters although I prefer to keep hands in my pockets.
Also wear plastic gloves when I take care of my mum.
Do you need to wear a muffler often?
No, my car gets upset if I borrow it.
I only wear one on the coldest days (five to ten a year) and then only if I'll be out for a while.
Do you prefer a warmer or cooler climate?
Warmer. I love summer even if sometimes I feel like pouring bottles of cold water on my head.
( wonder where's Starter living that it's so warm......:confused: )
Would you like to live in a cold place like Alaska or......Siberia?
Brrrrrr! No way! But I wouldn't fancy somewhere too hot or humid like Riyadh or Delhi either.
What type of place would be your ideal? (Could be climate, size, politics, lifestyle or all of them)
A place like Greece :laugh:
Apart from politics I love EVERYTHING about it.
What's your sign?
"( wonder where's Starter living that it's so warm....)"
Mid Atlantic USA. it's not too warm here, I just like the variety.
Right where I live now in all the categories mentioned. I complain about many things but enjoy many more of what life has to offer here.
When you vacation, do you do a planned tour or do you make your own plan and arrangements?
Gadjo
Keep Left :rotflmao:
Gemini - Not that I believe in signs and all that stuff.
Starter
I always plan my own holidays
Would you like to be taller?
No. I've noticed that a lot of hot guys are shorties.:laugh:
I'm about 1,65 ( metres!) and I'm happy like this. In time I'll probably become shorter.....
Would you like to be shorter?
Does it mean your birthday is on 13 th June?:angel:Quote:
Gemini - Not that I believe in signs and all that stuff
No to be honest I would like to be a tad taller than I am now.
When was the last time you went to a party?
18 February. 5 days later my mother fell ill.....
Are you a party animal?
:rotflmao: Dear God no. I am probably the exact opposite for someone of my age.
Would you like to have a super power? If so which one.
To be invisible and able to go everywhere I want. Just to clarify the suspicions I have on some people who cheat me.
What's the name you like most for a woman?
The name is not important. The person is.
If you could choose, what color hair would you have?
Any colour apart from grey. :p
What foreign language would you like to know?
Italian
you?
Greek
What foreign languages did you study in school/uni?
French and German (Can't remember much of either though
Have you ever visited south America? Or would you like too?
Never been and I'd love to. It would be a dream come true but nice things never happen to me.
Have you ever been in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, I grew up in Kenya which is on the equator and we were south of it. I later visited South Africa and worked in Swaziland.
Where in the southern hemisphere would you like to visit?
New Zealand. It always strikes as a brilliant place (I am sure Anfield can advise). It has such a range of climates, landscapes and interests.
Is there anything interesting on the cards this week?
Not much really exciting. Our daughter had her Homecoming football game to attend on Friday, and the dance last night. We are going to see our new nephew at some point today. (That should be fun but both parents are... well lacking in family skills) We haven't really made it out to do much as the mostly regular things have interfered with time to go out and do something really fun.
It's finally dropping into the 50sF/10C range here at night, and it feels really cool after such a hot summer. How cool (or hot) is it where you live?
For October in the UK its still pretty mild. we are at about 13-17C most days now. Probably the average for later October is 10-14C or something. We are predicted to get some wet weather this week and then cooler weather after that maybe.
The news agencies and papers are doing their normal "Worst winter for 40 years" thing again, but it hardly ever is accurate.
2009-2013 we had (for the UK) cold winters with alot of snow and cool snaps, but last year we had a warm & mild winter.
So question is: What is your prediction for you upcoming Winter or Summer weather?
We'll almost certainly have some.
Since we've had a few questions about football (Euro style) here's one about football (American style) - Will the Redskins win another game this year?
The ting about NZ is, despite it being so small, it is full of ermm... interesting stuff. For example the North Island is fully volcanic, it exists because of eruptions and lava flow. The south island has no volcanoes and is the result of tectonic interaction, i.e. the Southern Alps are the edge of the Pacific Plate as it rides over the Australian PlateQuote:

So I know a lot about US teams/sports till the 90s/early 2000s but am dodgy on what is happening currently...so I don't know if they will win a game but I hope they do (I dislike the usual big teams like Yankees/Patriots/Lakers!)
Do you have a home team that you support?
Well, against all odds, they won one yesterday. Which pretty much puts the lie to my question.
A little. The Skins and the Ravens in football and the Wizards in basketball (Baltimore doesn't have a pro team). I don't care much for baseball or hockey.
If you could have been a great athlete, which sport would it have been in?
Football or motorsport. The problem with motorsport is I am 6 feet 5 and wouldn't fir in to racing machines of most types, so football it would be.
If you could be famous for reasons other than sport, what would you choose?
Music. Though the only instrument I know how to play is the stereo and when (if) I sing mirrors and windows break for miles around.
What profession would you choose if you could do it all over again?

I liked them when I watched baseball although the team I really liked were the Red Sox ;)
Musician (if I lived in a different country)
Physicist/Astronomer (If I was living here)
Have you ever performed anything in public - could be 25 or 2500 people?
