I'm of aromanian origin and we're famous for our tight family ties. My mother lives in the same house with me, my brother comes to see her about 3 times/week.
I'm also quite close with 4 of my cousins who used to live in the same house - we were brought up like brothers. However things have changed a bit in the latest years.
Are you getting well with your in-laws?
Yes I have 5 brothers and 5 sisters in-law and 1 mother in-law. We all get along like a house on fire which is very rare indeed! I'm very lucky!
How far back can you trace your ancestry?
Not very far I'm afraid. From my father's side only till great-grandfather. My mum was always head in the clouds about her relatives. Hard to do any research cos my family came here from Greece.
What's your sign?
Aries.
What's your sign?
Taurus. It means I'm a cow.:p
Do you recognize yourself in the features of your sign?
Well, not really. I am confident and strong as my sign suggests but otherwise I think it's all a lot of astronomical nonsense!
Do you believe in ghosts?
No. But I'm afraid of them.
Do you believe in communication with the spirits of the dead people?
Personally no, but I have friends who believe in it, and I fully respect them for it.
Do you believe in UFo's
Not of the alien variety.
Do you believe in Santa Claus? :p
Yes. I've met him when I was a kid.:p
Do you like to cook?
Absolutely yes
do you eat fast food.
I try not to too often, but yes I do when I need a quick fix :D
You a greens person or a meat person?
A carnivour with some herbivourous tendencies
do you have a favourite colour
No.
Do you like to walk?
No, I don't walk where I can drive or cycle. There is no such thing as a nice walk!
Are you fleet of foot?
No. I'm a lazy a*se.
Are you the handy type?
Yip I am :D I fix nearly everything around the house, from taps to electrical work to the pool pump etc. My wife keeps me busy on the weekends :p:
Have you ever scuba dived?
No. (Good God, my answers in this thread are the real proof I'm the most boring person in the world :p )
What are you wearing in this moment?
(this sounds like one of those dirty phone calls, just need some heavy breathing :) )
I have just arrived at work, so I have clothes on.

Repeat the next day :p:Quote:

Always detested formal clothes cos they make me feel like having a stick in the a*s.. And don’t have a motivation to wear them at work ( that means that none of the guys I work with deserve the effort :p ). There are days when I know that a manager from X company would come and then I try to look „decent”. The trouble comes when my boss and managers pretend to be busy and send me at Parliament or meetings at public institutions and I’m wearing jeans or casual t-shirts. :p
As for the environment, I don’t know if I understood the Q. It’s anything but a relaxed environment. We’re always working under pressure ( although I can’t see the importance of our work ), we’re talking dirty ( not to mention some talk too loud ) and my colleagues are the kind of people that always get on my nerves.
Are you a polite person?
Generally yes. But if you are wasting my time or p!ss me off, I have no problem telling someone to their face to find someone else to annoy!
Have you ever experienced harassment at work from a superior? (doesn't necessarily have to be sexual harassment)
Well, our bosses use to treat us like slaves on plantation but I can't say it's harassment. I've noticed that my boss has a special pleasure to annoy me. He gives me a lot of work and acts like he never notice when I'm sick or have a serious personal problem. Of course he has some protègès who have a nice quiet life with the same salary as me. I wouldn't mind if he was running his private business but we all work for the state.
Will you employ me? :p
Not a chance!!! My staff are hard working, well mannered, efficient, productive.....everything you said you aren't :p: :D ;)
Would you employ me?
Not a chance! You have a bossy attitude......
Are you a mysoginist?
:confused:have I really said these?Quote:

What would you do if one day you lost everything and have no chance to get a job?

what is the main thing in the world, that doesn't affect or effect you own life that really an truly annoys you?
The too many "'nouveau riche'' people in the society I live in.
Have you slept well last night?
I was away last night, and had been active all day so slept like a very heavy log.
Have you ever been to the UK or When did you last come to the UK?
No. Never been.
Have you ever won something at a lottery?
A whole 10 pound on 3 occasions.
Why do you think we exist?
“If I were to be totally sincere, I would say that I do not know why I live and why I do not stop living. The answer probably lies in the irrational character of life which maintains itself without reason.”
? Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair
That's one of my fav quotes from one of my wise fellow countrymen.
Have you ever won an award?
Never done anything worthy of an award.

Yes. Love them. No day without at least a fruit.
Whose was the last gig you went to?
This will sound really sad but, it was the Eagles 10 years ago when they did their reunion tour.
What/where is the most unusual place you have ever visted
Not unusual in a way, but the most surreal and strange was the war grave yards in France. I visited them years ago and there is no describing the feelings and emotions you feel there.
Whats the worst place you have visited?
The little town Floresti in Prahova county. Looked like a miserable ghetto.
What was the last present you've got?
