I will watch until England is sent home (that will take care of the first week then :)) then prob watch selected games after that.
If you had to get up in the middle of the night to watch Euro (like we do down this end of the world) would you bother?
I'm fool enough to post on the forum in the middle of the night so probably not. However I'm famous for falling asleep during late hours matches.
What are you doing when you miss somebody?
I get a little sad, but remember the fun we will have when we meet again. :)
Its raining to the point of flooding here. Have you ever dealt with floods?
The climate around here has changed over the last few years and we started having torrential rains in summer. Those were quite rare but very spectacular. The drainage did not have enough capacity to cope with it. As a result, after some brief but powerful rains we would have floods in downtown with sunken cars and basements full of water. I even heard stories of people riding water bikes in the streets. Now the city authorities have improved the drainage so we no longer have that problem.
Have you ever got sunburnt in a funny way?
In April I managed to get sunburnt while skiing (the lovely google tan) but while it was completely cloudy and overcast. I had a stupidly red face and had to put up with people saying "there's been no sun". The worst bit about it was that I'd joked with someone else in the morning because he'd put suncream on!
Have you ever seen a tornado/twister?
Not really, no. A couple of years ago I saw one beginning to form. It was kind of eerie as it was a small "tail" beginning to descend from the bottom of a layer of very dark, dense cloud. As quickly as it started it dissipated.
Continuing on the meteorological theme... Have you ever experienced damaging hail?
No. Never had that level of hail. Only marble sized stuff which hurts when it hits you.
Do you look back at the past and ever think "wow" I cant believe where life has taken you?
Yep. When I was a kid the biggest phobia of our generation was to be drafted to the Soviet army and sent to fight in Afghanistan. The army was withdrawn from there before I hit the draft age. Yet I got to work in Afghanistan many years after on a commercial basis and that was a huge experience.
What was the most dangerous place you have visited?
Sent from my Lenovo P70-A using Tapatalk
Don`t think I visited any.
Are you afraid about getting old?
Nope. Its something which you cant battle or stop, so go with it. Just makes you think that you should make the most of it.
Same question
Lol. When I was your age I didn`t bother either. But now, esp. since I have to take care of my old mum I`m really scared. In Absurdistan the social assistance is almost nule, the health system is in collapse and generally speaking people don`t bother to help. Not even those who are paid for this. The last year experience when I broke my fingers and became somehow helpless also made me ask myself what if I were really old and had to stay in bed without anybody coming to open my door? Well, I mean I'm not sad about losing some capacities or beauty ( that`s easy cos I never had it ) but about being helpless and a burden in a country that have not respect for old people.
It`s child`s day in Absurdistan. Is this day celebrated in your country?
Yes. In fact, I have organized a Muppet theater performance for children and it is ongoing right now. I heard some complaints from the artists and sponsors about the logistics, which is my fault as I am not a good logistician. Children seem to be enjoying it, though.
Do you enjoy playing with children?
Sent from my Lenovo P70-A using Tapatalk
I don`t know. I`m not a funny person and I think that children don`t enjoy my company. That makes me very unconfortable in their presence.
What was your fav game when you were a kid?
Wow I feel exactly the same about the last question Gadjo. I only start like kids when they get to the age they calm down and you can talk to them.
hmm.... fav game???? er........ kiss chase :kiss::angel:;)
Do you believe people are born a certain way or do character traits develop via the environment in which they are raised?
Both, I've always been very laid back and can remember being so from my earliest days, backed up by what my parents tell me from the few years that I can't really remember. Other characteristics develop over time, I'm a different person now to the one that was gearing up for university 13 years ago.
What colour is your hair? :D
Dark acajou. It's dyed. :p
Do you have a loyalty card at any shop?
:eek: Never heared of such game. Bet you were a girls fav since you were such a cute little boy. :pQuote:

What do you mean "were a cute little boy"? Are you saying I am not cute now ;)
That was the joke/question but I ruined it by missing a word
No, I didn't mean it. Just that you're an adult now and don't play that game anymore. But come here to Absurdistan and all the girls will pick (and kiss) you in that traditional dance called Perinița (little pillow). :p
How do you resume a conversation interrupted by an awkward moment of silence?
Sent from my Lenovo P70-A using Tapatalk
You do what you did Rudy and ask a question.
Can you remember when you first decided to join the forum?
It was in 2001 I think. But haven't the courage to join immediately. :angel:
:angryfire: I asked a Q about having a loyalty card and you ignored it. So it's still my Q.
Plenty of those. Right now at the bottom of the crisis businesses hand their loyalty cards at the moment of the first purchase. I recently bought my wife nice earrings at the occasion of our 10th anniversary and immediately got a card from the jewellry store. My wife saw it and thought I had a mistress. She thinks it takes a few purchases to get a card, and she wasn't getting anything...
Same Q.
No wonder. Now that I know you a bit I would have thought the same. :pQuote:

Do you have a fav store of clothes that you use to follow?
It's not about me having mistresses, honey. I don't have any for the record. ;) It's about women thinking I have a mistress or mistresses. It a nice little sample of women's way of thinking. When they see a guy getting emotional, or inward, or buying stuff, or anything else out of normal routine, they immediately think, oh, he's got a mistress! Not necessarily. Women would be much better off caring about their men, not guarding them.
On the fav store, yes. It's Peek & Cloppenberg. My normal shopping tactic is go to an expensive store (P&C is one) and look for discounts. Then you get great stuff at the price of the average stuff.
What's your attitude towards the celebrity culture?
Hey.......You don`t know much about women's mind.....They`re always suspicious when they have in their claws a good looking guy with a more than decent social position, a good salary in US dollars and clothes from P&C. :p
These guys are always an easy target to unscrupulous women. :angel:
Not a good tactic in case those around you use to do their shopping there. :p They`d know you shopped at discount. :pQuote:

Celebrity culture? i can`t be arsed with such crap. Esp our stupid local "celebrities".
Have you ever liked a reality show?
Not really. I used to watch one where Celebs dance in competition. Not much else.
On the Rudy subject. Do you think relationships are between just 2 people or do you think in the modern world if someone cares about 2 people and they all agree then that's ok?

Now returning the question to you...

I'm overly jealous and possessive. If I find out about the #2 ( :angel: ) it's over. Forever.
If you were an actor what leading role in a famous movie would you have liked to play?
Just to make clear. I wasn't just talking physical relations (sex). I was meaning emotional too
Sent from my GT-I9301I using Tapatalk
Probably a sad answer but James Bond. He has an exciting life in many ways.
My last question got misunderstood. Do I make sense most of the time ?
Sent from my GT-I9301I using Tapatalk
To make it clear I was also meaning from emotional point of view. That's more painful. To see that your love interest not only has physical relations but also has strong feelings about somebody else is something that is killing me.Quote:

What gift would you like to get for your birthday?
I guess we are talking about romantic relationships and those normally involve both emotional and sexual sides. If it were spiritual love or pure friendship it would be a whole different story. But then these days people do not often think of those types of relationships, do they?
For my birthday I would like to have a tour to a mediaeval castle.
You?

Just a simple day walking around and spending time with close friends or family.

Had you/will you have a cake on your birthday?
i hope so. Its always nice to get a cake.
Do you think the EU is a good idea or has it become to invasive into independent nations workings?
EU is as bad as it gets. Being governed by unelected bureaucrats is bad enough, but being governed by unelected bureaucrats from another country is even worse.
Do you think the idea of democracy is getting obsolete?
Sent from my Lenovo P70-A using Tapatalk
I think total democracy is hard to get to be honest and it really doesnt seem to be something easy to manage. Someone is always looking out for themselves and makes decisions for themselves.
I have to vote in the UK EU referendum soon. Do you think it would be make much difference if the UK left the EU?
