Do you like flying?
When was the last time you flied?
A couple of years ago we flew to Barcelona to spend a week with my father in law who has a mobile home near there.
When was the last time you rode a motorcycle of any kind?
I have never ridden a motorcycle of any kind actually. Its weird. I have always loved racing cars and thought I would love to drive at racing speeds, and yet motorbikes scare me a bit. Especially on the roads.
Do you think driving tests should become more detailed and tougher to pass in order to improve driving standards?
I don't think it would help, overall awareness needs to be improved though. I think that a renewal system (after say 10 years) would be good though. The standard of driving in the UK is on average very poor.
Can you operate normally on less than 6 hours sleep?
I often have. Mainly due to watching late night football.
Is medical care stupidly expensive where you are?
Difficult to quantify. Canada has a taxpayer-funded universal healthcare system. I pay squat when I go see a doctor, require prescription medicine or (heaven forbid) am hospitalized. How much of all that "privilege" comes from my taxes, I haven't got a clue :mark: . All I know is that close to 40% of my bi-weekly paycheque is reimbursed to Mr. Taxman :s .
Are you afraid of heights?
not afraid but I do suffer slightly from vertigo, and get light headed when I look down from a height.
what weather phenomena scare you
Tornado probably...although I find extreme weather rather interesting than scary (err...my handle would be a clue ;) )
Have you been in any scary weather situation?
had lightning storm and some off shore tornadoes last night. We had a big tornado a few years ago that flattened a few buildings in New Plymouth. A couple of years ago we had the worst hail storm on record - 5 inches of hail fell in 15 minutes.
what other (non weather) natural phenomena make you nervous?
A certain species, both destructive and self-destructive, called homo sapiens often gets on my nerves.
What non-human natural phenomena make you nervous?
Earthquakes. You never know how long will it take and how stong will it be.
Is it easy to get on your nerves?
Generally not. One can get me ballistic either when I am very, very tired and in no mood, or, on the opposite, when I am thoroughly enjoying myself and somebody gets in my face with some stupid business.
What is your best feature?
Don't think I have one.
Who was your fav teacher in school?
In college we had a professor, Dr. Joe Schwartz, who taught chemistry, specifically organic chemistry. He was a very likable teacher who made learning the subject extremely fun, even demonstrating wacky experiments in class that would be very entertaining. He even had his own 1/2 hour show on one of the local radio channels at the time.
Is there any place that you've ever visited that, in hindsight, you regretted making the effort?
In short no. Even the worst places were interesting in some way, and afterwards we all like to tell everyone how bad the place was.
Where is the worst place you have ever visited?
Moscow. Hostile people, enormous distances, everything far from everything else. Prices are a separate story.
White type of climate do you prefer? Is there a place with an ideal climate for you?
Mediteranean, I guess. Never too cold, still not tropical heat. Back to Greece would be perfect.
Do you like to travel?
I love it, prefer short haul stuff and quite happy just going somewhere different for a weekend. Would rather have 4 short holidays in a year than one big one.
Where did you spend your last holiday?
Haven't really been on holiday in a while. Was in the UK last September for about a week. Nowhere noteworthy since.
Same Q.
Nice/Monaco for the weekend watching the historic, where this happened to a McLaren M23

Have you ever seen something happen and then doubted whether it actually did happen?
Oh dear :erm:Quote:

The following race was really entertaining too, much better than staying at home and watching the F1 :DQuote:

How should the perfect woman look?
90-60-90, heavy makeup, high heels, designer clothing (or not ;)), overpronouncing each word, a yes sayer etc.
A perfect man? A Mister Universe?
A Mister Universe is a big turn off. :angel:
Let's say, 1.85 tall, athletic constitution but not "worked" muscles, long haired, not necessarily handsome but with expressive features. And a big laugh too, I hate constipated people. These been said, I'm famous for liking what other women would consider ugly guys.
Have you ever dreamt ( while sleeping ! ) the perfect woman?
Does this look close?

No way......

Matter of fact I also have a pic of the personification of your dreams but I thought it's still a family forum...:devil:
Send it to me with a PM. And it's not my dream, just a bloke's joke. My perfect woman is the one who treats me right at the moment. And I've seen such women in my dreams.
Your most memorable dream?

Sorry. Family forum! :p
What's the worst job you ever had?
The one that didn't pay. I was supposed to manage the content of the Website for an IT company. Neither they nor I had a clear idea of what exactly that content should be and we were growing unhappy with each other. They wouldn't paymbe the agreed amount until later, which meant I effectively got paid the same amount but for a longer period of time. One day I got fed up and around lunchtime stood from my desk, said I had a fever and left only to come back and pick my belongings a couple weeks later.
Your best job?
I had only 3 jobs, all of them with ups and downs.
First was in a factory. I felt great there because the coworkers were nice, funny and very friendly. But it was far away from home and I had plenty to work
The second was in a foreign trade company. It was in the neighbourhood and I had almost nothing to do - it was a total boredom. The coworkers were awful, probably most of them were members of the communist secret service. Not friendly at all and very suspicious.
My current job is good as social position ( most of the people fear this institution ) and is decently paid ( according to our standards ) but I can't find a sense in my work, it's much to work, generally under time pressure and the results are mostly useless in my opinion. The coworkers are also annoying. They're very proud, bosses asskissing, egoistic, ready to walk on corpses to reach their targets, not loyal and not caring of anybody but themselves.
So I honestly don't know which one was the worst.
What job would you like to have?
I enjoyed my time as a graphic designer, the company I worked for was not the best. So freelancing as a graphic designer would be good. It would be great to have the responsibility of fixing and running F1 and turning it back into a sport again.
What is the worst job you can imagine
Something sitting in an office and being on the phone all the time. My idea of a nightmare.
Do you like spending time outdoors?
Hmm, my life is Steveaki's nightmare, at least to an extent.
I love spending time outdoors. I love traveling ranging from walking in the neighborhood to flying overseas. Just moving along makes me feel better.
Do you prefer being in the crowd or staying by yourself or staying by yourself in the crowd?
Staying in a small crowd.
Have you ever been a two-timer?
What's a two-timer?

Introverted in real life, extraverted on the forum, fb, etc. :p
Will you watch Euro 2016?
