I miss my mum's food. Esp. fried peppers with tomatoes sauce. It's a typical aromanian dish, romanians don't cook such thing so I'll never get the chance to eat this again ( you know how skillful I'm in the kitchen :s ). Here's a photo.
Where will you have lunch today?
I am at home, I have a meeting at 1pm here, so a quick bite to eat before hand. Just a sandwich or something. Then a meal tonight.
Do you like hot and spicy food?
Love it.
If you have time would you like a nap after lunch?
Nope. I don't like it, it would ruin all the day 'cause I'm not used to it. I could only relax after lunch (but not sleep) only if I've nothing to do in the rest of the day.
What is your favourite TV Series?
Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai. :p
What is your fav drink?
depends on the situation. Decent cup of coffee during the day. Nice pint of Guinness is always welcome, or a decent scotch neat is hard to beat. Also strangely addicted to aloe vera juice for some bizarre reason or other
What is you fav food to go with your fav drink?
"Mici" with beer in the summer and "sarmale" with red wine during winter.
What's your fav salad?
Salad? Whats salad :D. I am a man so don't eat much of that.....
Seriously I like some veggies with a meal, but salads I really am not fussed about. With a burger sometimes, but really not interested.
Are you more a meat eater or a vegetable eater?
I'm a vegetable person without being vegetarian. Unfortunately I don't cook and don't get to eat too much veggies.
Meat, I eat only pork and only fried or "sarmale" or mousaka. But there was a time when I refused to eat any meat.
Steve, there are salads that also contain meat. My fav is boeuf salad that, of course, I make without meat. :p
What is your fav dessert?
( as " men" I hope you guys still eat sweet things )
I honestly rarely eat dessert.
If I do, I may have a home-baked cookie or something that the missus baked (recently it's been cupcakes :uhoh: ), but often it's a peice of fruit.
Do you spend much time on FaceBook?
I have a page but I'm rarely there. Mostly a big waste of time.
Is there any real value to social media in your opinion?
Bookface style social media - not really, I have actual friends, I don't need 100,000 people I have never met clicking a button to 'friend' me - what a load of garbage. I also don't need to know what people I have never met are having for lunch, nor how long it took for the wastes to be expelled from their poo shoot after the meal. As with Starter, I have a bookface page, but the last time I looked at it was Christmas eve 2013. Plus I don't need any government type agencies keeping track of everything I do (not that I do anything illegal or immoral etc, its just the thought of Big Brother watching :))
Blogs like this yes, you get to 'meet' people from around the globe who share common interests, and basically relax and zone out for a while (hello Big Brother!:))
Was George Orwell close to the truth in his book 1984?
WTF? Although I have no clue if such a serial exists, I can guess to what it might be like :mad:Quote:

Do you tend to read all the classics or only from a specific genre?
Come on.....The Ragini-Ranveer and then Ragini-Anmol love stories are every woman's dream. Wish I've ever met such guys. :love:Quote:

Well, I tried to read as many classics as I could. Not because I'm an avid reader but because otherwise I should have been considered an ignorant. The romanian standards in the past were totally different than today. :p Even when I disliked a book I finished it because I had to.
Did you read the classics of your national literature?
Yes and no. I read what I like and some of the "classics" are boring as heck.
Do you prefer to read fiction or fact?
It was fiction in the past, then fact. Now I hardly read. :s
Is it a book that you can read again and again without getting bored?
There are a number of books which I have re read. Usually with a gap of a couple years between readings.
What color shoes are you wearing today?
I wear some short black boots.
What colour socks are you wearing today? :p
Brown :dozey:
Did you just switch to daylight savings time? (yawn...)
Not yet. On the last Sunday of March.
Do you mind the switch to daylight savings time?
More daylight in the evening is a great idea, seems silly to waste good daylight hours by sleeping.
Do your farmers complain about daylight saving, or is that a uniquely Kiwi thing?
Not sure if they complain, but that appears to be the only reason that we still have daylight saving in the UK these days.
I like it as it is something unusual, but many would like to see it scrapped.
And the Q is......?
Oh yer....:D
I am really sorry guys. Would forget my head these days if it was not screwed on. Crazy times.
Have you ever run your own business or if not ever dreamed of doing so and what would it be?
Yes. I have had a landscape design business many many many years ago, and have run my own swim schools and coaching. When I win lotto I plan to open a hobby shop, selling kitsets, rc's science kits etc - all the stuff we had as kids, that many kids still want, but is hard to find. It will be called 'Static Motion" and I have already designed all of the marketing and signage for it (just need the finances to make it happen :()
What hobbies etc did you do when you were young, that you would like to still be doing now?
Heyyyyyy.... I'm still young.....;)
I loved to go to the theatre. Now I don't go at all.
I was interested in painting, I used to buy and study albums of art. I'm not anymore. A few years ago I bought an entire set of such albums but until now I didn't open even one of them.
I was a passionate Steaua fan and used to go to the stadium being almost the only woman on the stand. I still love the team but I won't go to watch them.
Etc. Etc. Etc. I used to be a modern person and I become a boring lazy fart. I blame it on my job.
What's the dumbest first name in your opinion?
Blimey, tough question. I guess Dick for a boy has to be up there :D
Have you ever run for office in anything. Government down to local action group?
Yes, that name has to be right up there.Quote:

If you could make one, and only one, policy decision for your country, what would it be?
In my case it would be a decision for a country called Absurdistan, the place on earth where nothing is normal and according to the rules. Since corruption at all levels-the main plague of this country-will never be erradicated, I'd propose a populist thing, a working week of only 4 days. :laugh:
Do you open the door of the car for your lady? :p
PS. What exactly does mean
"run for office in anything. Government down to local action group?"
I don't get it.
Its badly written. If English is not your first language then its no wonder you struggled Gadji :pQuote:

Yeah. It's difficult to live in a city together with about 1,8 mil. of such specimens My daily existence is marked with a long chain of swearings against them. I walk on the street repeating '' tu-ti....." between my teeth. :p
Do you like green coffee?
I don't know, never tried it, or even heard of it :(
Should I try green coffee?
Yes if you want to lose weight. :p
Tried a cup this morning and disliked it. It's very expensive too.
What's your fav tea?
Coff(t)ee :) To me tea is tea, put the teabag in a cup then pour hot water on it and add some milk.
In Nz we have just got the BBC F1 coverage (sky last year). Is it always full of ex F1 pensioners babbling endlessly on about nothing in particular?
Probably. F1 seems to feature a lot of old boys yapping about a sport that has in all likelyhood moved on.
Is it a boring monday morning at work for you today?
Don't have time to get bored. More than that a certain forumer annoyed me at max. this morning. I'm ready to blow up.:angryfire:
How's the weather where you live today?
Grey, cloudy and light rain. :(
Same Q?
Sunny and warm. Too bad I'm a prisoner at work.
When will you stop heating the house ( for those who have winter ).
I feel unloved, ostracised , and left out now :(Quote:
