I am neither sporty enough nor artistic enough. in the middle :s
Are you following the mess that is the American election process?
Not really, although I've never really made an attempt to understand the US electoral process.
I just enjoy the silly sound-bites from Trump's pie-hole from time to time :D
When's the last time you've cast a ballot (national, provincial/state, municipal...)?
In 2006, and only because I knew the presidential candidate personally so I kinda felt obliged to vote for him.
I have a weird theory that absenteeism is ultimately a stronger voters' weapon than participation, which politicians channel the way they want to, anyway.
When was the last time you fell in love? ;)
where's steve when you need him to answer stuff :D
May I answer on his behalf?Quote:

I have fallen in love in some respects in the past. New friends, pastimes etc....
When did you last laugh out loud?
Getting the game going.

Last nite.
When did/will you change time to summer hour?
Clocks change tonight. So we can have lighter evenings etc.....
Do you think changing time/clocks for summer is worthwhile these days?
I've never thought it's worthwhile.
Sorry, but what are your plans for this weekend? :p
Do some work in my country house, drink wine like it's water, watch the stars, do nothing. In fact, my weekend is still ongoing. What are your plans for the work week?

Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, ........
That's what country expects from me.
Unless you keep me busy on the forum :devil:
What can I do to relax a bit?
Wine, wine, wine, wine, wine wine, wine, wine, wine, wine wine, wine, wine, wine, wine wine, wine, wine, wine, wine wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, ........ - but only two glasses! Then kick the cat out.
Did anyone get given an Easter egg? If so, what was it like; if not, what sort would you have liked?

How is the weather in other parts of the world lately?
You were supposed to answer the q about your eggs :devil:
:angel:
No eggs for me, but the choco bunnies that my kids received are suspiciously missing the ears :angel:
Do typically sleep well at night, or does every little noise wake you up?
P.s. the weather is quite nice here, thankyouverymuch :p:
I alternate between the two. Sometimes I am kept awake by weird sounds and happenings, but sometimes I sleep through earthquakes (literally a 7.1 earthquake in 1993 in my home state and i slept through it)
Can you sleep in airplanes/buses/cars/trains? I envy people like that :hmph:
Airplanes, no. Buses, not really. Cars, yes. Trains, yes. I think the difference is down to space. When I sleep on a train it's only when I have a table to rest my head on (and I usually only use the train after a big night out somewhere). In a car you also have more space than on a coach or a plane.
Have you ever surfed?
No, but I used to compete at surf life-saving if that counts.
have you ever dozed off while driving?
No.
(Because I don't drive :laugh: )
Do you use to sing while driving?
If I were to sing while driving, nobody in the car could sleep. They would probably dive out while in motion. Including me. So I don't sing in the car.Quote:

No. :p
All those around me are aphonous.
Do you sing in the tub/shower? If yes what is your fav song?
Yes, and it sounds like angels :p: . Don't have a favourite song, I think it's usually the last song I heard on the radio.
Is the public transit in your city fairly reliable (are the busses/trains on schedule; are they clean and comfortable)?
In my current location, yes. although the trains seem to have a habit of delays for no apparent reason especially when you are in a hurry :p:
The city I have lived most of my life? horrible buses, plenty but crowded/unreliable/uncomfortable - mostly. Things are getting better but not fast enough. We have a plan approved for metro but I don't think it will happen soon. Traffic is horrendous and we need the underground metro in reality.
same question? Also what's your favourite type of public transport?
The buses are never on time, but as it's nominally every 20 minutes it's not too long to wait. Despite their reputation the trains on my London commuter route aren't too bad - but when something goes wrong no member of staff has the faintest idea what.s happening.
My favourite? The river bus - I use it so rarely I'm like a tourist.
Do you think public transport should be free of [direct] charge?
No. But it should not be too costly either.
How much do you drive daily? gadjo = 0
Wrong assumption. :angryfire:Quote:

Weekends, it depends on what the family plans are (I often don't have a say in the matter :mark: ).
My "daily driver" car is three years old and it has only ~22,000 kms on the odometer.
Does your city/town have many dedicated bicycle lanes?
A few of them. Problem is, pedestrians are clueless. When riding a bile you need to watch out for a granny or a kid or anybody else to step in your way right in front of you
How safe is it to cross the road in your town?
It ranges from very safe to taking your life into your hands even if being careful. The city I live in is a large area of land that has very rural and some very congested areas as well.Quote:

Depending on people's civilization. In my country people would continue to cross the.road like they used to do.:p
Besides, it's difficult for those who are old, have luggage, disabilities, baby carriers, etc.
Have you ever had a video chat session with an unknown woman?
Yes, and she broke my heart. She came from a donor agency and she said she wouldn't fund our projects.
Have you ever had a blind date?
