Even if I could I wouldn't. The posibility of becoming bocked by snow on a road, train or airport would be too much. Then I hate the cold days and long nights that make you stay in the house. Winters are sad episodes of my life....
What colour is your toothbrush?
( stupid question, I know.....) :p
Just changed yesterday from a green/white to a fluorescent green/black with red/white bristles :D
(we have a silly pact so we don't forget the which is which..
mine is always green and her's always red/orange etc)
Are you particular about colors of things you use?
not really. my nylon guitar is bright orange, folk guitar is a red sunburst, electric guitar is electric blue. I do always wear something red (be it a sock or two socks, belt, shirt etc.)
do you or would you choose a new car based on its' colour?
No, nay never. Apart from not buying a car in some outlandish colour like "Girlie shocking pink"
Do you wish that people would wear brighter colours in winter?
Just as long as it isn't "Girlie shocking pink"
DO you wear colours that reflect your current mood or state of mind?
No. I chuck on anything thats comfy, warm or cool depending whats needed.
Have you ever done Jury duty/service?
Yes, twice. The first time I wasn't called for any case. The second it was two interesting ones: a drugs bust and an immigration scam.
By the way, I'm told that the way to avoid jury service if summoned is to write a letter on the lines of "Although I'm not a member of the National Front (or UKIP if you prefer) I have to admit I that I do have a certain degree of prejudice and in all honesty I have to admit that I would find it very difficult to be impartial if it were an immigrant on trial. Can I therefore request to be excused?" They would have to excuse you because if a defence lawyer got hold of a copy the letter there would be hell to pay.
Which leads to the obvious question: "If summoned for jury service, would you try to get excused?"
Absolutely. Although never been summoned, I do have a colleague that was some time ago and he said it was unbearable. He had to be sequestered in a hotel for several days with no outside contact, and long hours in a courtroom. No thanks, I’ll pass.
Are you currently following the Rugby World Cup?
no, I would rather follow an overflowing sewage truck on a moped. :) Can't open a paper or turn on the tv without hearing the words Rugby World Cup, or All Blacks...
do you feel compelled to support you country's national sport?
I don't feel compelled but I always do. Especially in the sports I follow.
Are there any unusual sports that you follow closely ?

My wife thinks all sports I follow are unusual :D
Or I have an unusual amount of interest in them :erm:
Any plans for the week-end?
No. :p
But this morning I took an important decision.
Is there a question that you'll never answer on this thread?
What was the decision? Or is it too personal?
As to your question: I've not thought about it. I suppose there are some that I'd consider a bit too personal, but I can't think of examples. Also I like to stay clear of politics.
Are you surprised that the Rugby World Cup final is between Australia and New Zealand?
Not really because
a) I have never followed rugby, so I don't relly care!
b) even if I haven't followed it I still know who is usually good at it, so NZ Aus or SA being in finals isn't very hard to believe
Have you met anyone interesting recently? (new aquaintance as such)
By complete chance I recently spoke for a while with a former US Olympic team cyclist who rode with all the big names the biking people would know. Amazing stuff as I picked his head about cadence, wattage, etc.Quote:

If it was Gadjo then absolutely, otherwise probably not so much. Leave them to get on with their life.
Have you ever been involved in any kind of road accident?
only 1, when a dog ran out in front of the car one night, didn't even see it until it was too late. Did $2500 damage to the front of the car, but sadly the dog came off far worse.
are you making plans for Christmas yet?
Not really. Its a bit too early for me. However into November i normally begin to plan.
Have you got any kind of pre Christmas tradition that you perform in the build up?
I write a Christmas list which I give to my wife - and she ignores it completely
What is the most non-traditional Christmas you have spent? (If you don't celebrate Christmas substitute another annual festival)
First Christmas in NZ. Instead of near freezing temps etc, it was 30 degrees celcius and we had Chrissy dinner in the garden. Used to it now, so a winter Christmas would seem strange and non-traditional now.
How much is too much?
When enough is enough.
It's bonfire or fireworks night here today. Do you like fireworks or do you see them as a waste of time and effort?
Sent from my GT-I9301I using Tapatalk
I will answer now cos this question doesnt seem to have interested anyone. I think fireworks are OK in a proper display but at home can get a bit dangerous and tiresome when every person is letting them off.
Do you think countries are handling the situation with planes in and out of Egypt well?
I could have answered the fireworks since its Diwali next week and the whole of India is literally burning money during that week.
I'm not really following the plane story, just saw a bit on tv news so not sure how they are handling it.
What's the biggest news on tv/papers right now where you are?
Egyptian planes: If it was a bomb then the Egyptians must up their game regarding airport security. It may have been lax to let the bomb aboard but it's a national insult to claim they can't produce effective security. If, on the other hand, it was a missile - and nobody has said it was - then all the airport security in the world won't help
As it's Remembrance Sunday here in Britain I'll ask do you feel a national remembrance day is a good idea?
It usually is. It reminds those of us who were not alive of the epic struggle in the past to achieve something (I assume it has to do with WWI/II)
Have you done any military service (if not, would you have liked to ? - Personally I'm a sucker for most things related to armed forces and do think I missed my calling!)
I never did national service (it was abolished a few years before I reached the age). I think I would have hated the monotony of peacetime service. I wouldn't want to do active service, but I envy the sense of fellowship of those who experienced it together.
On a lighter note: I always enjoy the range of autumn colours - what is your favourite season?
Winter or Fall.
What's the last movie you saw?
Rush (somewhat predictably)
Has anyone ever made a movie about any sport that fans have been happy with? (Documentaries excepted)
This has stalled so here's a new question
Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?
Not doing Christmas this year, apart from for the kids. Family decided to just all get together for the day instead.
Same question
Yes I have done my Christmas shopping, :D
What will you do for new year?
Get drunk. :p
who have you kissed under the mistletoe?

That is both the answer and next question:p
Billy's missus? :laugh:
( also both answer and next question ).
No
Do you make resolutions (and stick to them)?
No not really. I have never really made any because I know I would never keep them.Quote:

Spent some time walking around a waterfall/gorge, took some photos and drove around. Quite cool but sunny day, was nice after the cloudy, breezy and cold day yesterday!
:s I read it as what did you do today...anyways in the evening, some grocery.. mundane stuff
What are you planning to do on Sunday?
I'll be singing:
" What are you doing Sunday baby.
Would you like to come and meet me baby you can even bring your baby.
Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh."
That's also the new question.
I would like to go to Bucarest one day and meet you Gadjo. Maybe not on an individual Sunday.
What have I missed?
Book-a Rest is an ugly boring city so let's meet up one day in Barcelona. :pQuote:
