Man :p
Is May 1st a holiday in your country?
No, but May 19th is, when we celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday :mark: .
Have you ever snorkeled?
No.
Do you use to play a sport when you're on the beach?
Is bikini spotting counted as a sport? oh and I used to compete at surf life-saving.
Would you like to swim with dolphins?
No.
Do you like to swim when the sea has high waves?
Yep, love it. Living where I do I so rarely get a chance to swim in the ocean, so when I do I want the full experience :D .
Do you have to undergo any kind of specific training for your job? (I just had to undergo a full day of training on Hydrogen Sulfide exposure :s )
Not really, but I do have a couple of bachelors degrees.
is job satisfaction more or less important than earnings?
Yes, I think so. I couldn't work in a place where I wasn't happy (I'd end up like gadjo :p: ).
Do you have to work much on weekend?
No more than any other day (I've recently retired)
When do you think you should start planning and saving for your retirement?
Already have. I joined Kiwi Saver, which is a government established retirement savings plan, it should give me a tidy little nest egg when I retire.
Apart from D-Type who has retired :) would you work if you didn't have to?
Nooooooooo.........All I need is some time for myself.
What was the most radical change you've done to your look?
Nothing. I'm perfect the way I am :D
Are you planning on attending any motorsport events in the near future?
You bet I am. :p
What was the last motorsport event you attended?
Last year's Goodwood Revival. If you mean real race, as opposed to historic racing, it was a European GP at Brands Hatch in 1983 or 1985 - I can't remember which.
Do you feel that these days there is too much emphasis on Formula 1 which means that other forms of racing suffer?
Yes.
What's the most romantic thing you've done?
taken the missus to a motor race :)
Is romance dead?
After reading your answer above I think it is. :p
Whose missus did anfield5 take to a motor race? His own or Billy's? :confused:
I think that's for Anfield to answer - I can only speculate.
What motorsport events take place in your country, and are they affordable?
I really don't know but I've seen a thread on these forums called Sibiu Rally.
Then I think it's a sort of national competition:

What's the latest movie you watched in a theater?
Rush
Has anybody made a good motor sport film?
Rush.
Will people ever stop expecting too much technical detail & accuracy from racing films?
No, but if they are as crappy as Rush, then probably yes - why let the facts get in the way of a story :)
Does it annoy you the way certain film makers from certain countries try to change history, so they can sell more tickets. eg. The aweful movie called U471, that claimed a unit from a particular country siezed and enigma machine to help end the war, when in fact a Brit commando unit seized said machine 8 months befor the US were involved in ww2?
Nah....
After watching even north korean movies I'm not bothered with such things. I simply don't watch them. When I have no choice i just have a laugh.
Have you ever win a contest/competition?
My family is cursed, we simply cant win things. If I bought 99 out of 100 tickets in a raffle I would still not win.
How do you decide if you have had a good week?
If at the end of it I have. some peace of mind.
Have you ever slept in a tent?
We used to go camping every summer when we were kids, so we spent 3 weeks of every summer under canvas. Plus other hiking, tramping trips I have done.
Do you enjoy sleeping under the stars with nothing around you but peace and quiet?
Yes, especially the peace and quiet, under the stars depending on how many insects are around me... But yeah, I do.
What's the best thing you've done today?
Last night I wanted to cut my veins but hadn't the balls to do it. Some would say it's a good thing....
Do you use to go out for a picnic?
Used to, still do. Can't beat lunch on the beach, apart from the sand.
Do you ride a bicycle?
No. My hometown has a crazy traffic and I think it's dangerous.
Where is Djarumdudley?
I dont know. Havent been around much myself here the last couple of weeks.
Who is Djarumdudley? I mean I only ever saw him post in the word games thread. Does he ever post anywhere else?
Yeah, he used to post more often in the other forums.
How often do you purchase a new pair of shoes?
Two in the last month! None for about three years before that (slippers excepted)
Do you think that slippers are designed to last from Christmas to Father's Day, or vice versa, and no longer?
I don't know when father's day is. We don't celebrate it so I can't answer.
However I think slippers last depending on how much time you spend at home and how busy you are.
Do you think you behave like a gentleman?
Of course I do:
- I hold doors open for ladies
- I give up my seat on the bus to a lady
- I get out of the bath to fart (even when I'm bathing alone)
- etc
But I sometimes think the Afghans may have it right: The woman always walks three steps behind the man - except in minefields!
Do you think using land mines is ever justified?
I know a few guys that I'd like to see walking down a minefield.......
Are you short tempered?
Not usually, life is too short to explode at people and things.
Are the words of Bobby McFeran's song 'Don't Worry, Be Happy" a good model for life?
Yes. However I'm more of a "I can't be happy cos I worry all the time". :p
What was the worst gift you've ever received on your birthday?
Hard to say, I am grateful for anything, but if I had to choose I would say a white, black and gold woollen pullover, it looked worse than anything I could describe.
What is the best gift you have ever received?
I think I've already said it. The book ''Playing the moldovans at tennis''. Maybe because it travelled half of the world to get in my hands, maybe cos it was a miracle that I saw the postman laying it at my door and nobody could steal the big tempting envelope, maybe because it was all I needed at that time, etc. etc.
Do you wear eye glasses?
