Yes. Sometimes. I have some elements of my life which people might see as strange. I do think people will think me strange or crazy in some ways.
Do you care what others think of you?

Yes. Sometimes. I have some elements of my life which people might see as strange. I do think people will think me strange or crazy in some ways.
Do you care what others think of you?
Usually no. Of course when younger, like everybody else it was very important to do things that were appreciated by others rather than just for myself. Now at this point in life I do not really give a damn about what anybody thinks about me apart from a very few close friends. (but then they don't judge me like my family or some other so called friends tend to)
Last music concert you been to?
I saw Status Quo at Silverstone a few weeks ago. Maybe that counts.
Its started to rain here. When it rains do you use an Umbrella, hat or rain coat?
Never wear hats. In the cold season I have some coats with hood but not exactly rain coats.
When I have no choice I use an umbrella and I hate it. It's annoying to walk with it in the crowded places not to mention that the wind breaks them all the time.
Do you wear sunglasses?
No. I really should, because being outside all day in the bright sun cannot be good for my eyes.
What have you done today?
Sex :p :devil:
Same q
Who should be so lucky! :shock: :blackeye:
Taken my 88 year old mother-in-law to choose and buy a new fridge freezer. (She lives on her own and can't get out - and both fridge and freezer have died of old age)
Do you believe euthanasia should be legalised?
I still can't answer this. I take care of my old mum who's immobilised in bed for 20 months and is totally dependent of me. I'm on the edge of a breakdown and I'm aware that the situation would last but still I can't accept the idea of her death "by request".
Do you like to eat pizza?
Yes. I enjoy Pizza alot. Probably should not eat as much of it really.
Do you believe people should be allowed to choose how and when they die regardless of situation or should it only be on a Doctors agreement? (Similar question to above)
I think it should be upto the person if they want to live or not.
Have you donated/do you want to donate your organs? (eyes or anything else)
I am a registered organ donor. I see know reason not to be. Once I die, if someone can live by using something of mine they need, then thats great IMO
Do you think you should have to opt in for organ donation or opt out?
If so, today you wouldn't have the chance to speak to yours truly.Quote:

If you have enough money for the rest of your life would you like to quit work ?
Up until 8 months ago i would have said yes, but now I might like to keep working a little bit. However I would cut down.
Have you ever been on a boat? If so what type?
Those you may find on the lakes in parks. :laugh:
Still have a laugh with my best friend remainding we were 12-13 y.o. and hired little boats in Cismigiu park although we didn't know to row. I think they were irresponsible to let us. So was my friend's mum who lent us her ID for this.
Also went on ancient steaming boats that cross the lakes.
BTW, my coworker still teases me about cruising.....:p
Have you ever ridden a motor bike?
nope, it was about donating post mortem...I definitely want to donate my whole body (if anyone wants it) :p:Quote:

Have you ever ridden in a super car?
My personal best is a Maserati, if this may count. I wasn't driving though.....
Have you ever jumped in a pool from a platform?
Yes but never the highest one.
Do you ever go to the swimming pool?
Only if I'm on holiday away from my hometown.
Do you like to eat kebap?
No. Not a fan of them. Only ever had one or two.
Do you eat salad alot?
No because I don't have time to do it.
I eat the fresh vegetables without adding oil and vinegar.
Do you eat bread? What kind?
Yes I do. I eat all sorts. Plain supermarket white bread, granary, fresh baked stuff from bakers.
Do you have anything on your bread?
No.
What's your fav TV channel?
I have to say Star Sports (used to have all the footie + F1 and has decent (!) punditry too - its basically a child of Sky UK) but now they have dropped La Liga I won't be watching their channels much.
For other stuff, Zee Cafe or FX - or basically whatever is showing anything I remotely like to watch (Seinfeld/Big Bang reruns etc :D )
same question?
The TV is on most of the time but these days I seldom watch anything. Generally it's set on Realitatea TV, a news channel. Sometimes I watch National TV ( for Indian soaps :laugh: ) and B1 TV for a talk show.
Have you ever been bitten or stinged by an insect?
I once got stung between the eyes by a wasp. As a gardener I am always being bitten by flies of some kind.
Are you allergic to anything?
Two times in my life I had a horrible eruption all over my body except the face. It was like a few red points appearing, growing and filling with a liquid. They were disgusting and very itchy. I felt like wanting to pull off my skin. Both times I was on holiday. I tried to understand what happened, thought it was from the sun, but then the conclusion was it was from drinking water from the tap. Kinda weird cos I don't drink water on holiday but I use to prepare instant coffee with water from the tap..Also weird that in my hometown I don't have this problem. Now I buy mineral water or coke for coffee whenever I go and don't have problems anymore.
( lol. I was kinda incoherent.....)
When you were a school boy ( or girl :devil: )have you ever been in a school camp?
We didn't have school camps in Kenya but I did go to camp with the cadet force - playing soldiers
Do you think uniformed organisations: scouts, guides, cadets, etc are good for children
I cant see many down sides so yes. They hopefully teach children useful skills for life and teach them respect for others etc.... All in all must be positive.
Do you think disciplining of Children should include a physical aspect. i.e a smack if they have been naughty?
Ideally it should not include smacking at all.
But sometimes the urge to do so is overwhelming when you have a 2.5 year old running amok and not listening to a thing you say and shows their worst aspects especially in public!
While growing up we did get smacked on and off, but the generations after us were not - at least in middle class/upper middle class households...Now its pretty rare here.
Do you think you are a good parent (or will make a good parent?)
No i have to say I dont really ever see myself as a parent. I also dont think I would make a good one.
I am not a big child fan and find the whole kid thing drives me crazy. Not sure I would cope with it.
What is/was your relationship with your parents like?
Not great to be honest. My father passed away few years ago but can't say I really had a very good relationship with him...I mean not hostile, infact my mother stays with me for last couple of years, but by then I was so used to living separately that it is a bit difficult for me to be together again on a daily basis.
ps: like you steve, I was never a child friendly guy (still not really) and never thought I would make a good father either...but all that changed when we had our own little one. :)
Do you take prints of photographs nowadays or its only digital?
All digital for me personally. I never got on with print. It was a bit before my interest in photography.
Do you own a camera? If so would you like to get a better one?
I've recently acquired an all singing and dancing Panasonic Lumix digital: incredible zoom range, viewfinder as well as screen, loads of override functions. But it's rubbish. The viewfinder and rear screen can't be used on a bright day, the controls are fiddly and not intuitive. The instruction book is hopeless. So it's a case of 'point and hope' rather than 'point and shoot'. I'd like to change it for a decent DSLR.
Do you think people are taking too many photos now digital technology makes it all too easy to take photos?
I do actually. Photo's have really lost there value I believe. While its easier to get good photos which is important, they now stay on a computer more and rarely get seen. This is a shame.
Do you keep photos on computer now or do you still put them in an album or something?
I have a computer only at work so most of my pics are on a USB stick.
Do you take selfies?
Not often. Not in the familiar way.
What time do you go to bed?
I should have done it at midnight. But I'm trying a review in the movie thread.
When will you wake up in the morning?
Normally up for work at 6am but no work tomorrow. So 7:30 -8am
Same Q?
