Panda's what?
Cheese? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYz3sl0LEA4
I'd support panda conservation over polar bear conservation because it is harder.
If you were on a plane for 19 hours and went by yourself, who in the world would you like to accidentally get a seat next to?
Not Kimi Raikonnen! gawd how utterly boring that would be. Jessica Alba sounds good (looks good :)). Steven Hawking would be fun to argue with about his hair-brained ideas of the universe.
Who would you least like to be stuck next to?
A so-called celebrity i.e someone famous for basically no reason..
actually I was stuck on a 8 hr flight once in the middle seat of a DC-10 with a guy wearing a ¨hairy¨ sweater...that wool was so itchy and pissed me off no end whenever our elbows touched. Worst flight ever.
Have you had a really bad experience with a neighbour on a flight/train?
Not really bad but in my country trains or long distance buses are designed with a very tight space for the legs and people are too uneducated to understand they bother their neighbours. Some adjust their seat too much on the back and you have to travel with them on your lap. One of the worst was on a train with seats face to face. There were 4 seats and a guy was sitting opposed to me while one of his twin sons was next to me. Our knees were almost touching and I did desperate efforts to keep a distance. Then his son fell asleep with his head on my shoulder. Really embarassing....
have you ever traveled by helicopter?
Once or twice. Interesting experience, bloody noisy though. Had to do the helicopter survival training as well, i.e. being strapped into a frame, turned upside down under water, and having to un belt and find your way out of the frame and up to the surface.
Have you ever been in a glider - would you like to?
No and I don't think I'd like to.
What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you lately?
I posted a picture of myself on FB as a 3 year old :o
Why do none of the old games in this thread get played anymore?
I liked the interview the person above thread. I also enjoyed writing a never ending story.
When are you next going into the shopping mall?
Next weekend.
When are you next going to a sport competition?
I nearly went to Brands Hatch today, but didn't get round to it.
So I am not sure really. I would like to go to a England match at Wembley soon.
What have you done today?
I went to a shopping mall. :p
Have you ever driven a truck?
Not a 'big rig', biggest would only be about 1.5 t fixed axle thing
if you could choose just one thing to do to bring some excitement to your life, what and why?
I`d like to travel. No matter where, just to a place I`ve never been before. But preferably Machu Picchu, Barcelona, Paris, San Francisco, Viena. :)
If I could, gone would be my depression.....
Let`s get personal: what deodorant do you use? ( in case you use one :devil: )
usually Old Spice or something similar...
what will your next gadget be?
I've just got a new phone from work. Not outstanding but a bit better than the last one. The good news is that the new contract assure also free internet. You know I couldn't access youtube or fb when I was at work due to restrictions. Now it will be possible so we'll be able to comunicate all the time. :)
what will your next car be?
Not sure. I have been thinking about getting a new one in the last year. However with starting my business up that has taken a back seat.
Do you buy lots of shoes/boots?
Not so many as I'd like to. :devil:
What had/have/will have you for lunch today?
Nothing. Slept in late (it's a holiday here) and ate breakfast late. We'll go have ice cream mid afternoon at a place that makes their own. For dinner grilled shrimp and corn on the cob are on the menu.
How will you spend your next holiday?
Sad question. I can't have a holiday although it's all that I want.
Same Q
4 weeks of work left then lonnnnnnnnnnnng holiday while I find a new job - luckily I will have nearly 7 weeks holiday pay to fall back on.
Have you ever been unemployed
Yes. Last year after breaking my foot. Found a new job which wasn't great, but then met a friend and started my own business. You never know what can happen.
Do you watch a sports team live regularly?
Not in New Plymouth. I dislike Rugby and there is not much else other than local league sports. When sky had proper coverage of the Premier league I watched Liverpool every weekend (although after this week's debacle prob glad we don't have that at the moment)
Are you a passionate supporter of a sports club ie. did Liverpool's amazingly apathetic (read crap) effort against Stoke City bring you to tears - or similar feelings when your team do or don't perform?
Weird since I am so far away from that location in every sense but yes, I do apparently support a "hateful" team.
I also have other teams I keep an eye on - hoping they win something (cough...LFC being one :s )
What's the furthest you have walked in one go?
used to go tramping (hiking for you Americans), so I would guess about 25-30 km.
Do you feel safe going out at night where you live?
Absolutely and at any hour. No problems where I live. Though about twenty miles from my house (as the crow flies) that might not apply so much.
Since we were talking about hiking, which would you prefer for a nice afternoon - hiking (there's an American joke about the old maid who went for a tramp in the woods), boating, picnicking or a quiet read under a tree?
Now days the quiet read under a tree sounds good. Picnics are too much bother, I love sailing ships, but small boats don't quite measure up, and my ankles are too far gone to allow me to go tramping, or ecev brisk walking.
DO you like spending time on your own, or do you need the company of others to be happy?
I can spend a lot of time on my own absolutely no problem. Doesn't bother me at all. However company is nice.
Do you go out drinking to a local bar/pub often?
There's a local bar which offers craft beer that I like. Only 17 taps, but the owner rotates then all the time so there is usually something new up just about every time I go in. Friday nights if I'm home, sometimes on other days. He has an amazing collection of single malts too, like 207 of them at last count.
What's your favorite pub to stop in to?
Don't really have one to be honest.
How do you like your coffee?
Black and prepared turkish style.
How many coffees do you drink daily?
one coffee, and a couple of cups of tea
used to be a lot more coffees in the past..
What did you do last evening?
I watched a little unknown footballer score a pretty average tap in. :angel:
Same Q
I missed that same bloody thing :(
watched Arsenal win the FA cup, just a few mins and their trophy presentation, a few minutes of Dortmund losing to Wolfsburg, had an ice cold beer while watching Seinfeld and then went to sleep fuming due to lack of Copa coverage after midnight.
How often do you get a food delivery/takeaway?
We've cut way back and now probably only once a week on average. There was a time when we wasted WAY too much money on delivery and such, mostly due to just being crazy busy with life and work.
What is something you know you "waste" money on, but to you it's worth it?
If its worth it it can't be a waste:) I have 7 guitars and suchlike - classic guitar, folk guitar, 12 string, electric, 5 string banjo, mandolin and a vintage banjolin - prob don't need that many but.....
If/when you win lotto 9national lottery) what is the first thing you would/will buy?
I'll buy myself a triple espresso, sit under the tree and reflect on what to do with that money.
Have you ever won anything in a lottery?
Lol. 2 months ago I won at the new lottery of fiscal receipts introduced to reduce the tax evasion. It was unlikely but still I had a receipt of 6 lei with the date 7.02.2015. Unfortunately so did a lit of other people so finally I got only about 50 lei ( 11 euro).
What's the last thing you bought?
