Have you done a military service?
No. National service was abolished a year or two before I was old enough. We did "play at soldiers" in the school cadet force so I did learn to polish boots and brass, march, fire a rifle, use a compass, read a map, etc.
Do you think compulsory military service (national service) is a good idea
No. At least in my country it was a waste of time. I was happy when I managed to get a medical document that exonerated me from the service. The uniform was awful and I think it weighted about 10 kilos during winter.
Would you have liked to be a policeman?
No! A policeman spends his life dealing with the worst in people and I think it rubs off on them and they see the worst in everybody. Call it brutalization if you like.
Have you ever had a bad experience with the police?
Apart from having a police station on the corner I don't think so.
What are your plans for this weekend?
It's Monday already, and next weekend is a 4 day one for Easter.
Can you pat your head and rub your stomach?
I don't think I understand the Q so I'll not risk to say yes.....
What did you cook lately?
Bacon and Leek pie.
Do you swear or curse often? Or are you a good guy/girl.
ALL the time. And in a shameful and frightening way. But this week I'll be nice cos I fast before Easter.
Will you have a Easter holiday?
We have Good Friday - Easter Monday off, then the following Friday is ANZAC Day. So in effect we have four day week this week and a three day week next week.
Do you believe in the after life?
I believe in reincarnation although the simple thought of starting again a miserable life makes me sick. I also use to wonder what kind of terrible sins have I done in my past lives to run such a miserable life today.
What do you usually eat on Easter?
food. I am not a religious person, so I don't hold any stock in not eating certain things at certain times.
what is your fav junk food?
Pretzels. 4 of them was all I ate yesterday.
What is your fav perfume for women?
Eau de home made chocolate chip cookies :D
Do you floss?
Noooooo..........
Do you spit on the street?
No, that's positively repulsive :s
Do you silently fart in public then look around as if someone else did it?
No. I do it only when I'm in the street, after being sure nobody's around to smell it. BTW, usually I produce silent ones.....
Do you pe* in swimming pools?
Grosser and grosser. No, I used to make my living as a swim coach, and can't imagine why any sort of animal would do that.
Keeping the gross thing going - do you pick your nose?
Yeah. Right now. :p
Let's continue: Do you clean your ears with the nail of the little finger? :p
Not the nail on MY little finger
How many days in a row would you wear a pair of socks?
Nah...I can't wear a pair twice.
Do you have smelly feet?
Sadly, it is a family curse (more sweaty than smelly though). In summer I take a spare pair of socks to work and change them at midday.
What are you proud of that other people find slightly revolting or disturbing?
You already know I'm not proud of anything.
Do you talk loudly when you watch a movie in a theater?
No! I absolutely hate people that do that. We went to see LotR The Two Towers. I ended up sitting next to a couple, the woman spent the whole movie playing on her damn cell phone and her partner was giving her a running commentary of the movie. I say the whole movie, but I actually mean, until it was suggested to them that they would be better off sitting somewhere else :)
Should bloody cell phones be banned from public place like cinemas, restaurants etc?
No. The solution is high fines for those who don't switch them on silent mode.
Do you talk much when you're at work?
It is part of my job, so yes.
Do you prefer summer or winter?
Summer. I hate winter.
If you open the doors of your wardrobe and look at your clothes what is the predominant colour?
Blue shirts, khaki trousers
Should women be forbidden to wear black, except at funerals,?
Nah. It's elegant and makes them look slimmer.
Should men be allowed to wear skirts?
Well the Scots and Greeks and others already do, and to be quite honest I like the way kilts look, they have a dignified elegance about them. I have one in my clan colours "Cameron of the Valley" but I have never worn it.
Imagine you have the money to buy a new car, would you prefer something similar to everyone else, to blend in and be part of the group, or would you prefer something way different to stand out. eg would you rather have something like a Toyota Yaris or would you prefer a Fiat 500?
Lol. Yesterday I saw a Tico and remembered the times when my best friend bought one and we were always out for a ride. We were young and it was fun but these days I don't think I'd like it. I wouldn't feel comfortable neither in an extravagant car.
Probably something of about 15000 euros will suit me. A VW Golf or Polo would be fine for the crazy traffic of my hometown.
What is your fav cocktail?
I don't drink cocktails much, but have been known to order an extra wet martini with a twist.
What's the first car you ever drove?
My Dad's Mark 5 Cortina Ghia. It had a v6 engine, was metallic blue with a vinyl roof and had brown velour seats - nice.
What's the first car you ever crashed?
None.:p
How many cars did you crashed till now?
It depends what you mean by "crash". Many many years ago I wrote off my Mini when I went through a 'give way' sign. I won't bore you with my excuses. Since then I've had several minor bumps. The most recent was a year ago when a young lady reversed out of a supermarket parking bay into my passenger door.
Do you feel that the body shops rip you (or your insurance company) off when you have an accident?
I've never had to deal with any but I suppose they do.
Do you dye hen eggs for Easter?
I think some people do, but I personally have not since school days.
Have you ever ridden a camel? Would you like to ride a camel if not?
no and no I'll stick to horses
what about elephants?
no and no I'll stick to walking.
what about donkeys?
I'm 6 foot 5, so if i didn't kill the poor thing my feet would be touching the ground either side, and since I adore donkeys I wouldn't inflict me on any of them ;)
What is the strangest animal you have ever seen?
