How much liquids do you drink daily?
I drink around 5 or 6 cups of tea a day, plus while working a litre or so of water.
Do you eat alot? or do you only eat small meals
Theoretically I eat once at work + once at home ( in case I have something cooked which is rarely happening ).
Since my mum can't cook anymore I eat unhealthy food whenever I have time. At work I,d eat anything just for the sake of a pause. Sometimes i take extra food in case I have to stay after hours but then I eat all I have with me. That's why I continue to put weight. :s
What's for lunch today?
Not sure. I have a busy morning but not much on this afternoon. So I will see where I am when I get hungry.
I am off to work now. What does your work day involve today?
I can't divulge much about my work. All i can say is that I have 4 files full of papers that should be studied and then write a point of view.. Next week I'm supposed to take a holiday ( just saying, obviously I can't leave the city ) so i must finish ( finish? they never finish, the papers and files flow day by day, all of them emergencies.....:s ) them in a few days.
What shall I do on a holiday at home? :s
Read books you have wanted to read for a while but haven't been able to...maybe you can start some exercise routine? (which is what I want to do but can't get around to :( )
Do you have any large family gatherings?
Unfortunately my family becomes smaller and smaller. I miss the old macedonian family gatherings on St John or St. George ( only the male members of the family were celebrated :s ). There were about 30 guests + the ten of us ( mine and my uncle's families lived in the same house ). The weird part was that the guests weren't too close relatives of us but the relationships were very warm.
These days I gather sometimes with my first cousins on Christmas and Easter, sometimes on birthdays. But we never are more than 10 persons on the table ( my cousins live in communist-type blocks of flats ).
Same Q.
My wife's family are keen campers so they have a family meet up once a year for a camping weekend. Maybe a dozen people with campervans and tents and 3 generations represented.
Do you think [trailer] caravans should be banned from the roads at peak periods?
I think it could be argued that is a good idea, however in practice very hard to justify. Similar with tractors, but ultimately they have jobs to to. I guess caravans are all for jollies.
Do you own anything very rare?
I have a 90 year old banjolin (cross between a banjo and a mandolin) Some of the rocks and minerals I have are quite rare as well, so yes I do :)
Same question...
Well not really in the sense of the word used..
Do you want to buy something which is rare? (I was thinking after the above question and I didn't seem to think of anything!)
Can't think about such things.
What magical creature is your heart hiding?
a liverbird (what else could it be?)
do you believe in the supernatural?
There's no supernatural. There are powers that humans don't realise they have and entities that human mind don't have the capacity to perceive
Have you ever had an extrasensorial perception experience?
nope.
Which of the 5 is your best sense?
Hearing I would say.
Would you ever do something nasty to someone for financial reward?

The financial side of life doesn't mean much to me so definitely not.
(So beware! I might do nasty to you for free. :devil: )
What's the city you'd like to live in and why?
Not really sure, I am not one to live in big Cities. I live in a small one now. I guess London would be fun. There is always something going on.
Same Q?
Sometimes, when I'm angry on life ( read: most of the time :laugh: ) I ask myself how would my life have been if my parents families had never left their native Greece.....
I'm not the one to live in a small city, the " provincial sadness" ( it's not an offence but the title of a great poem and song ) would kill me. Although I envy my Greek relatives for their style and views on life, I don't think I'd like to live in that small city. But Thessaloniki in the same area would be great. Why? Because I simply love Greece....
Now a boring Q: what are you doing this weekend?
A quiet one. nearly everyone I know is away :( So I have been gardening at home.
There is a heatwave predicted here for next week. Its going to be tough for me outside working.
So question is, Whats the hottest temperature etc... that you have experienced? Was it bad?
Don't know exactly. It happens on our hot summers that it exceeds 40C. Still, irrelevant cos temps are measured on a certain height and in the shadow. At ground level, in the sun and in the central part of Book a Rest it's a real hell of about 50C. Add to this an annoying humidity that makes you feel wet all over your body.
That's why usually temperatures are associated with the index of thermic discomfort.
What's your fav dog breed?

What colour is your hair?
Red. Dyed.:laugh:
What colour are your eyes?
Not really sure. A green / grey . I was once told I had nice eyes.
Have you got any strange habits?
Sent from my GT-I9301I using Tapatalk
Yes. But I'm not ready to share them on the forum. :angel:
Have you ever performed in your school shows?
Yes years ago I was in Mac Beth and several others. I really enjoyed acting.
How often do you use Facebook. ?
Sent from my GT-I9301I using Tapatalk
Used to hate fb. But since the forum is so boring quiet I started to use it quite often. I mean whenever I have time, sometimes even when I'm at work. Don't have many friends though.....
Same Q.
More than I should. Most of it is nonsense, but I have a couple of friends on there I keep in touch with.
Do you ever play music very loud or do you prefer to wear earphones etc....
I can't stand loud music or noises of any kind. It's because I think that nobody is forced to listern the noise of another person and Romanians are champions at having a thick cheek and disturb people around. There are a few songs that make me feel good and sometimes I play them loud but I don't bother anybody. Another thing that annoys me is the volume of phone call sounds. There's a girl at work who always choose annoying alarms and set them at max. The rest of us suggest her we're bothered but she doesn't care.
As a school boy were you scared that the teacher would examine you or that you might get low marks?
I was a drifter at school, which I slightly regret now. I was not a teachers pet or hard worker and thus A*, but conversely I was clever enough not to fail anything despite not much effort at times. So teachers neither focused on me because I was great or because I was a concern.
As a school boy/girl did you try hard or were you naughty and lazy?
I tried hard because I'm not a smart person and the perspective to be a worker in the communist regime was dark. Also we used to be frightened by teachers.
Who was your fav teacher?
Mrs Julie Clark, my high school sophomore English teacher. She made every effort to connect with her students.Quote:

Do you think you have the potential to be a good teacher?
Not at all. First of all I don't have the ability to communicate. I'm shy and I'm always thinking I'll make a fool out of myself. Then I don't think I have enough knowledge to share with others and the pupils might be smarter then me. Then I think this job requires patience and finesse but I'm a vulcano when somebody gets on my nerves. Last but not less mportant I'm not a charismatic person, I'm sure the pupils would call me horrible names and I'd be petrified.
Lol. This made me think of the gallery of cantors ( that's what they like to be called) that buried my youth......
You know, we had a high school class reunion.I looked at them and realised how ridiculous things were. Now we were the powerful guys with successful jobs and they a bunch of old fashioned with old clothes who begged for the favors they used to be offered.
I was shocked when the physics teacher who was the mischievous type that made our life a hell and made me hate this object came conspiratvely to me laughing of my joke I made about him in my presentation and said: so you're working for XXX......Can you help me with my niece, etc. etc......
So you see dear airshifter, school days weren't only beers drunk in the park restaurant wearing stupid uniforms....
Do you think you have the potential to be a good doctor?
Trust me.... though we didn't wear uniforms my stories of high school days are much more sinister more likely.Quote:

Not even remotely. Even if I had the knowledge required, dealing with ill people all the time would quickly bring me down. I have great respect for those that can deal with it on a day to day basis.Quote:

Question on airshifter's behalf:
Did you ever have a crush on one of your teachers?:devil:
( I suspect airshifter has a bit of a story with Mrs.Clark:devil: )
Yes. I did. She was my geography teacher and at the time I think all the boys liked her. At that age I am pretty we liked anyone :D
Do you have what people refer to as a best friend?
No. Not in real life. Whenever I need someone I found myself alone.
But I have a few good friends on this forum. :kiss:
Same Q.
Not as such, no. I have many friends, mainly through shared interests etc, but no 'best friend' as such apart from my hummingbird guitar :)
Do you assign human traits and characteristics to inanimate things (like erm... guitars for example)?
