Don't have one. And I hate them all. :p
Who was your fav teacher?
My Drama/Theatre teacher. I used to enjoy the subject at school. Maybe in line with the fact that the subject was less "sitting at desks", she was very laid back and supportive.
What was your favourite lesson/subject at school?
I was passionate about the ancient history when I was in the 5th grade. I enjoyed all the lessons.
What were the dullest school hours you had to attend?
We would sometimes have exams when we had to sit silent for 3 hours. Even if you finished after 1 hour. That was dull.
Are you interested in space exploration and things being discovered at the moment?
I'm always interested in those things. It's a shame the US, among others, let space exploration dry up toward the end of the '80s. We should have had permanent bases on the moon, Mars and some of the moons of Jupiter & Saturn by now.
What will be the next breakthrough in commonly available energy? Solar, fusion, or ?
Fusion (cold fusion) has been the holy grail of cheap energy, I think it might be the next big thing (we have all the raw material we want in the sea water)
What's the highest altitude you have been to? (Not in a plane!)
About 2300 m in Bucegi Mountains.
What's the most expensive thing you've ever offered as a gift?
my heart (awww :)) - don't get to sick about this, as it was returned with a rusty dagger in it.
What's the most expensive thing you have ever received as a gift
Well, I don't know if it can be classed as gift. I had an aunt who hadn't children and when she died she left me her home - in fact a one room flat in a communist-type block of flats. Otherwise I haven't received too many gifts. :s
What games did you like to play when you were a kid?
All of the usual ones I guess. Can't really remember back that far, old age must be slowly creeping up.
Do you keep in in touch with your childhood friends?
Some of them left the neighbourhood or the country when we were still kids and we lost touch. But my best friend from childhood is still one of my friends, my first friend ever lived a few houses from me until she died of a terrible disease, a girl who played with me works in the same place with me.
Have you ever attended a class reunion?
Yes, pretty boring it was...I prefer meeting the classmates I want to meet over a drink instead. (I still keep in touch with a fair few but only 2 of those live in our city thesedays)
Do you like huge parties with plenty of people or prefer small groups having a dinner or drink together?
I hate huge parties, esp. wedding parties where people come from obligation ( they were to our son's wedding so we have to attend their son's ). Only a few would really like to be there but they have to go. I also hate the organised things like let's reserve a table and meet on a certain date. I like spontanous things like leaving work and going to a pub with colleagues or talking on the phone with a friend and suddenly decide to go out for a coffee or a drink.
Same Q.
Same answer. I can literally repeat it word for word. :)
Do you ever feel like you need to stay all my yourself with a cup of tea in your hand a book or something just to recharge your batteries?
Great. Maybe one day after a nice talk on the forum we'll go out for a drink when we leave work. :laugh:Quote:
Same answer. I can literally repeat it word for word
Matter of fact all I really want is to stay by myself somewhere far away from home or working place and just forget all the troubles and don”t talk to any people who may remember that. Preferably somewhere near the sea. And honestly, I”d like a beer instead of tea.....
Can you work în a noisy environment?
There's nothing like a good Irish whisky when you are tired. But recently I started rediscovering bourbons.
Noise is no problem for me. Where I am now, there's a constant sound of flying helicopters and sometimes sirens are wailing. Still, I am working alright. I would prefer Sirens to be singing, though.
Does music mean a lot to you?
To understand how much imagine that my brother was always forbidden to watch f1 races because I wanted to watch MTV all day long. Poor thing was begging to be allowed to watch at least the start of the race. He never did. :p
But gone are the days when I knew the charts of every country. I kinda lost interest as I lost interest in anything.
Do you have a leather jacket?
No. I barely have a proper jacket. :(
Can I join Gadjo & Rudy for a drink. I also hate huge parties and also could agree with your answer word for word.
Have you got a nice hat?
Only if you'll drink an alcoholic drink. :pQuote:

Do you wear boots?
Not in quite some time, and only when the work environment required it or suited it.Quote:

I'm a sunset man, through and through. I love the colors of the evening sky, I feel the ambient, I am in the right mood.
Do you like watching the stars?
Don't have time for this and it's difficult to watch the stars from the middle of a big city ( ironically the national observatory is 2 minutes from my home ). But I like to watch the moon from my bed during hot summer nights.
I also watch the stars whenever I go in the country to my cousin's holiday house. We spend hours looking for UFOs.
Do you have a romantic nature?
Rise, that way I'd know a really good day was in the offing.
If you could have been anywhere in the world this weekend would you have picked Bahrain (this is an auto racing board) or somewhere else?
Starter, you did a D-type. :laugh:
Does that mean I have to buy the beer or he has to buy the beer?Quote:

me too :D
Storm and Gadjo can share mine :p
Answering Gadjo's question.
I would like to think so. Probably some people would disagree.
Have you ever said something, that you instantly wish you could take back?
Thanx. :kiss:
( that's the reply for Steve's beer ):p
Most of the times. I use to talk nonsense and I have a bad mouth. Thanks God that on the forum there's an edit button and a certain moderator who takes care.Quote:

I would have picked a place where there is still snow or at least cold weather.....39C on Sunday here and we might hit 40 this week :( (that's 100+ for you Americans :p: )
When was the last you cooked a proper meal?
Attachment 593
Well, I hardly can call my cooking "proper meal". But my latest release was pork with potatoes baked in the owen. I don't know how to translate it in english. it's considered an easy to cook dish. I cooked it for the first time in my life ( !!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I know I'm weird...) about a week ago for Easter. And this is what it looked like. I imortalised it for the posterity. :laugh:
Please don't laugh.
When was the last time you got drunk?
I can't remember ;)
(Must have been too drunk)
Same Question?
I could have sworn it would be you to answer this......:p
I can't remember. ( because I NEVER get drunk, I know when I have to stop ;) )
Probably that day when I drank beer in my school uniform. :laugh:
What was your fav fairy tale when you were a kid?
As strange as it seems, I can't remember hearing or reading them when I was a kid. I know my mother read to us, as I remember some Dr Suess and other stuff. I do often wonder though how some of these fairy tales become the ones we heard, or now teach to our kids. I was reading Jack and the Beanstalk to my daughter when she was little, and after the fact thought it's really not a good tale for kids. Broken down, he uses the magic bean to rob and murder someone. How did that become a book we want to read to kids?Quote:

I've noticed that all of you avoid my Q.
It's probably hard for a guy to admit he ever liked fairy tales. :s
gadjo, like airshifter, I vaguely remember reading or being told those stories...but to be honest I did not like them much then and do not like them now. So my 2 yr old watches Grp B rally cars or a recording of BB King/Clapton instead of hearing fairy tales from me.
Do you often feel that endings of books/movies and especially tv shows throws away all the build up of the main body of work? I find that the end could have been done better and somehow drags that work downwards.
Shall I risk to answer this? I took my share of cold showers either on fórum from mr.K or on work where I ended by adopting a silentio stampa attitude.....Once I read that în USA movies should end such as the audience wanted. A bad end would mean a low box office. And if I think twice rare are the american movies that end bad. Maybe that's the key to my lack of interest în them. Now to be honest I don`t care if a book or movie ends well or not, the important thing is that the end of them isn`t previsible. And if I also think of all the movies I saw lately( sadly, I don`t read anymore ), most of them ended unclear letting the audience to think whatever they want.
As probably you`ve noticed, I used to be a fan of TV series. In this particular case I`ve noticed that all start promising, with a very detailed action, but then ends abrubtly and disappoining as if produceres lack money, ideas or interest.
What is the book/movie that you wanted to have a different ending?
Many actually, I can't name just one right away but for some plot based stuff often the explanation falls flat at the end while the build up is nice and intense. Like you I often dislike the all too happy endings of Hollywood movies (lets not even talk abt Bollywood!). An ambivalent or sometimes even a tragic ending makes that story even better. Different from the herd at least.
