What is your most prized possession? (Memories more than value)
My first guitar, an Epiphone Hummingbird. I have had it since 1977, it sits at home on a stand and gets polished from time to time, but I tend to play my other guitars and leave the Hummingbird in retirement.
Is "Big Brother" really watching?
Yeah but I don't care. It's funny to see younger people obsessed with being controlled when in the past you had to face the fearful political police known as "Securitate" or "the Eye and the Eardrum Cooperative" :p
Do you play chess?
I have done in the past but I was never very good. I could never master being able to think more than 2 or maybe 3 moves ahead. Not the planning 10 moves and laying traps.
My uncle is from Croatia and is very good at chess, but he was never able to teach me much.
To return the question to whoever. Do you play Chess?
No. That's for intelligent people. :p
Do you eat pop corn when you're going to the movies?
I hardly ever go to the movies to be honest, but when I do I tend to go for chocolate.
What can you see out of the nearest window to you?
The infamous Palace of Parliament, the second largest building in the world. It's across the street.
Can you sew?
Not really. I can just about mend a hole in my trousers, but anything more advanced and I am screwed. :p
Have you ever seen the real father Christmas?
The real Father Christmas is a marketing gimmick from Coca-Cola. Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus is a whole different thing.
What is the most annoying thing your next door neighbours do?
It's what they don't do that bothers me. They never shovel the snow off their sidewalk, so I have to plod through the stuff on my way to the bus stop every morning.
Will you be watching the Olympics?
Don't think so. I'm not a fan of winter sports.
When was the last time you were at a party?
New Years eve I suppose. We had a family gathering/party. Not very exciting but I don't go to many parties.
What is the weather like with you today?
Very unfriendly. -12C over night, about -7C now. Cloudy and the layer of snow is frozen and the pavement is a real skate ring. When I woke up I don't know if it were more than 8C in my bedroom. :mad:
Would you like to have more forumers involved in this thread?
I enjoy the "banter" with the few who show up here, but it could do with some more contributions as I am running out of questions. :p
Where have all the posters gone?
They're bored of our company.
When you were in school did you have one of those copybooks with Q for friends? We used to call them "oracles".
I don't think so, but I cant remember much about the old days. :p
Are you interested in Space and the Universe and astronomy?
Used to be when I was younger. These. days I've become a boring person.
Have you ever seen a falling star?
No, I've looked for them when the August meteor shower comes, but without any luck
Have you ever shot anything?
Apart from a session of 5 bullets shooting during the premilitary service I've never did. Even that time I think I missed the target.:p
Have you ever had your hair permed? :p
I have never had enough hair to Perm it. I am not bald, but since I was young I have cut my hair short. Although if I let it grow it does go a bit curly.
What style of hair do you currently have?
Neither my hair is what it used to be.... :mad:
I simply cut it at my chin's length. My cousin ( who's usually cutting it ) calls this "mala mujer coiffure" ( inspired by a colombian telenovela ).
Do you have a manicure? :p
Everyday of course. ;)
Tea or Coffee or even something else?
Coffee. Tea only when I'm sick.
When it's summer do you wear sandals?
Not really unless I am on the beach or something like that.
Do you think I am spending to much time on this forum?
No, no, no, no, no......
You're the only one who still wants to talk to me.
Do you like to spend time on this forum or you do it just because you don't have something better to do?
I really enjoy posting here. I post a couple of forums. I have a broken foot now so I have plenty of time on my hands.
What is your favourite Fruit?
Oranges cos they're juicy
Sour cherries and plums cos they're sourish.
What's your favourite desert?
hmmmmmm. Apple Crumble and Custard. Yum Yum.
I hate Banana's, do you like Banana's?
Not very much. I eat it but I don't have a special appetence for it.
Have you had a tooth ( apart of milk teeth ) pulled out?
Not Yet.
What do you use Facebook/Twitter?
I have a facebook account but I don't have friends. I mean I have just 5 and one of them is annoying active and posts all night long, my phone beeps and I wake up. I hardly post something, I'm too shy.
How many friends do you have on facebook?
I have 145 friends on Facebook. However about 100 of these I haven't met since school and some I worked with years ago.
I have 45 that are family members plus closer friends.
I too am shy in person but I am not really sure why. Why are you shy?
Because generally people can't stand me probably cos I'm ugly, stupid, unskilful, boring, uneducated, out of fashion, grumpy, ridiculous, naive, childish, etc., etc.
Have you ever attended dancing classes?
I'll answer you question with a question. Have you watched the old Disney classic Fantasia, particularly the dancing Hippo's? If I was 100x more elegant than I am I might just reach the standard of a dancing Hippo. So No I have never attended dance lessons, it would be like asking a fish to take flying lessons.
Other than in school, what lessons have you had?
Lessons? ....
I attended a so called ''course of cinematographic education'' of half an hour two times/month. Also a course of English at work. My biggest regret is that I don't speak French and don't play piano - the two conditions to be considered a lady. :p
Have you ever broken a window?
Yes. When I was young (about 5 or 6) I threw a croquet mallet and it smashed through a window. Then about 3 years ago I was using a grass strimmer and a stone flew up and broke another.
When did you last eat in a restaurant or café or fast food place?
Probably before Christmas. Probably at Pizza Hut.
Do you celebrate Valentine's Day?
Don't have anyone to celebrate it with, but to be honest I don't like the idea much anyway.
Can you drive? and if so what is the car you drive?
Don't have a driving licence although my dad was a driver and took me with him a lot during his job. When Ii was a kid I learnt all the rules from him and from a book that was my fav.

To be honest I love most flowers and plants in general. Miracles of nature.
