Romania had one heck of a team in the mid 90's Prunea and Bogdan Stelea were both great goal keepers, Dumitrescu Petrescu and Popescu were all world class and Gheorghe Hagi was phenominalQuote:

What is the funniest thing you have ever seen (in real life, not on TV)?
I was at a club when I was about 21 or 22 and we were watching a 2 hour long stripper show by the New Zealand Angels. Forget the stripping parts, it was amazingly a great show that involved the audience getting involved with the ladies pulling men out their chairs and putting them on the stage for some interaction. There was this one guy that was calling out the whole night to be involved in the stage shows so they eventually gave in and pulled him onto the stage, a big guy, well built, kinda like a Ben Affleck lookalike with muscles. One of the strippers had his pants round his ankles doing a move on him when another came from behind and pulled his jocks down to reveal the smallest member I (and I think the crowd too) had ever seen. I'm talking Tic Tac's here! The strippers tried not to but they burst out laughing, the crowed burst out laughing and cheering and the poor guy couldn't get his pants up fast enough or run to the exit fast enough either. Poor bugger :p:
What you got lined up for the week?
Work, work, work, work....
Going to dentist
Watching the tuesday match
Rest of the time I'll spend on this forum :p
Have you ever had an accident?
I've stubbed my toe once if that counts :p:
Did you pass your drivers test first time?
Never tried. :p
Why do you spend time on forum when you're supposed to be at work? :p
I'm the boss so I decide if I want to work or not :D I have a great company and because I have it setup correctly, my managers run it while I oversee the operation and make decisions on the future, finances etc. I do have free time to browse therefore, unlike maybe you who should be, erm....well, working? :p: ;)
Train ride or taxi ride?
I am actually. Harder than you might think. But if I didn't come occasionally on the forum to have a laugh I'd probably kill someone.:pQuote:

Are you scared to go to the dentist?
Speaking of dentists, I was there last Tuesday to get a filling done on a molar. Now another one needs to be done! I hate them with a passion. Hate coming out with a fat lip and a numb face :p: But I do go at least twice a year for a clean and polish, don't mind those as they don't hurt :) :D
Do you go to your doctor regularly for a check up?
No. I even don't go when I'm sick. Just when I feel I'm gonna die. However I go to the family doctor once at two months to take my mother receipt. The doctor never comes at home to see her. Our health system is anyway made to make us die earlier. :p
Have you ever suffered a surgery intervention?
I have had surgery on my right achilles tendon 5 times and my left one 3 times. (a design fault from the manufacturer)
WHat are you most looking forward to?
An email from a friend.
Do you shave your legs?
No way. They are not overly hairy anyway.
When was the last time you had a burger?
Proper home made healthy tasty mmmm good burger last Monday. Decent takeaway burger about two weeks ago, horrid expensive unhealthy tastes like garbage dripping in fat McWendy King burger, I'd rather die first.
Is it better to sit on the fence or be a wee bit more direct... Like me for instance?
Direct is always best. Life is too short to pussyfoot around. Tell it like it is and people will get over it soon enough :p:
You ever been in a fist fight (for da boys) or have you ever been in a hair pulling fight (for da girls)? :D
Not yet.
But I'm still determined to punch my boss in the nose. :p
Have you ever dyed your hair?
yes. The last two times Liverpool were in the Champions League final I dyed my hair bright bright red.If England make the World Cup final I will dye it white and paint a red cross through the middle of it (I think I will be safe with this.)
Do you have any tattoos?
No. When I was very young I thought that only sailors and those who were to jail have such things. Most of them looked rudimentary and we used to have a laugh at them. Now I kinda like it but I think when you'll be old and the skin don't look good you'd be ashamed.
Do you wear ties?
Hell no!!!!!!!! Ties and suits are for another age, not today's real businessmen and events. I look at these idiots that walk around in their three piece suits and ties and wonder what goes through their minds! I pitch up at board meetings in my jeans and still do the same job as if I was in a suit. I aint there for my looks, but what I can offer you and I'm sure you don't want my suit! They are also impractical, uncomfortable and look too formal. Maybe for a funeral I would say ok, but otherwise a smart open neck shirt with jeans or formal pants is far better :)
Where do you shop for your daily essentials?
I don't have time to go shopping during the week so I do it on Saturdays on Sundays at Cora Hypermarket in Sun Plaza or Obor market. Otherwise I buy from a Mega Image supermarket near work or a Billa supermarket near home. There are also a few small shops on my street or round the cormer but their prices are unshamelessy high.
Where from do you buy vegetables, an open market for fruits and vegetables or a supermarket?
Depends on how busy they are. Normally I shop at our supermarket as the fresh food market is normally packed Monday to Sunday and I don't do queues!
What is your favourite fruit?
ALL of them except for pears, apples and melons which I like but I don't mind if I don't eat them. I love fruits in their own season, I mean I don't like a watermelon during winter or plums on March.
What is your fav perfume ( in case you wear one )?
Eau de schmenke
Do you like seafood?
No. Fair to say I didn't ever tasted it cos I have a repulsion towards these creatures.
(also fair to say I'm an ignorant peasant)
Red wine or white wine?
It depends on why you are drinking it. With a meal I like red, but just to sit and drink I would rather have a nice light chilled white.
Lager or stout?
Don't know what you're talking about. I suppose it's lager.
Do you send Christmas cards?
Yes to my wider family and friends so about 50 in all.
Do you have to do much Christmas shopping?
Just immediate family, so there is mum n da, two sisters, one inlaw and six nieces and nephews, plus whatever other friends etc.
are you a day before Christmas eve last minute panic shopper, or do you plan things out and try to have your shopping done early?
I have two thirds done already and hope to have most of it done by December. So I guess I prepare.
What will we discuss on the F1 forum after the season ends?
What you, boyz, usually talk about: politics, football, women.....:p
Have you ever disguised as Santa Clause?
Not a chance, I'm not fat enough or old enough :p: :D
Is Christmas too commercialised now? Have we lost its spirit of family and togetherness?
Yes. It's out of order to go shopping on 15 th November and see shops decorated with christmas trees and already playing christmas carols. In the past gifts were symbolic and mostly for kids, now they should be definitely expensive. Even the end of the year bonus has become a trivial "bonus for the pork" ( a hint that romanians should sacrifice a pig and do a lot of what I call "porkies"- different kinds of food using everything from skin to blood.).
Have you ever been poor?
Yes, extremely so at one stage. I remember going to bed a few times not having had supper as my mother didn't have money for food for us. I remember hearing her cry at night when she thought my brother and I were asleep. I was too young to understand our circumstances and gave her a hard time for not having food for us. It was only later in life that I appreciated the predicament she was in. I am happy to say that I am no longer poor and I cherish everything I have in life, most people don't :(
Have you ever been stuck in a situation that you thought you would never get out of?
Yeah, all the time. Can’t understand why the others get things so easily and I have to fight hard for the most ordinary thing. You can’t imagine the level of bureaucracy and corruption in this country. You need hard nerves and a thick cheek to survive. Unfortunately more and more often I feel I can't continue.
Have you ever lost an exam?
(Don't worry, we are as corrupt as your country is trust me! Our President has just spent over US$ 25 million on his personal home for "security upgrades". Didn't know Jacuzzis and disco balls were part of a security requirement!)
I failed a few exams when at school, more out of laziness than anything else. But since I have left school I have passed every test and tertiary examination that I have taken :)
What are your plans for this evening?
Hope to don't have extra work. I'll watch my fav show on TV - and definitely I'll fall asleep. Might spend some time on facebook chasing my "lovers". :p
Do you decorate a Christmas tree on winter holidays?
I've got 2 small boys aged 4 and 6, what do you think :p: :D And here in the civilised part of the earth it's summer, not winter ;)
What do you hope Santa will put in your stocking this year?
Nothing, as usual. :devil:
Is it necessary to remind this all the time? :(Quote:
And here in the civilised part of the earth it's summer, not winter
No :p: .
Are you traveling anywhere over the Christmas holidays?
No. I hate winter and we don't have a winter holiday anyway.
Do you sing christmas songs?
I absolutely hate Christmas songs! Radios have been known to take flight when they drone this nonsense out for too long. The modern ones are the worst, they are just plain awful badly written dribble... But that's just my opinion
Is it right that the Santa we bring our kids up with i.e. the fat man with a white beard in a bright red suit is an invention of the Coca-Cola company
