No. If its hot, I sleep with windows wide open and just on the mattress.
Do you drink alcohol often? If so what is your favourite drink.

no . No covers at all and no pyjamas. :angel:
Do you like hot weather?
Too late again.
I prefer a good craft beer. Though a decent bottle of wine or mixed drink won't find me turning my nose up at it. I also enjoy a straight malt scotch when I'm reading.
What are your plans for the rest of today?
Plans....For seven months now I don't dare to make plans not even for the next hour. In time I've learnt a bit to cope with the idea that my life don't belong to me anymore. Today I was already warned that coming home wouldn't be very nice and it surely isn't. All I want is to sleep a few hours during night cos I didn't lately.In case I couldn't I don't know.....It will be too late to call somebody up and to talk, the forum is generally quiet, so probably I'll try to read something. Found a good book called Bonjour Tristesse......:s
So, do you like hot weather?
I don't mind hot weather as long as its not too humid. Of course I prefer the snow Gadjo :devil:
Have you ever eaten Octopus or something equally slimy? I personally hate all Fishy things
I absolutely hate it. I only live for the monsoon and whatever short (and these days much milder) winter we have here.
Do you listen to the radio?
edit: didn't refresh after I was away for a while!
yes I have eaten octo and many other fishy/slimy things :p:
I love seafood. Prawns, crab, calamari (and I guess lobster but I haven't really eaten it enough) are the best things in life tbh. Living 200km away from the sea is a pain though, unable to get the really great fresh stuff here.
same Q as above.
No. I find repulsive all these things, octopus, calamars, shells, snails.....grrrr.
OK, I know I'm a peasant but that is. I don't eat much meat either
Where would you like to spend this summer holiday?
Late again......:s
Total mess here....:laugh:
err late again and again :crazy:
:imubash:
edit: cluster**** !
edit2: people reading this page are going to go mad....anyways I am off to make some dinner ...its late and nothing is ready..I think egg sandwich is the most we'll make tonight.
I don't have time to listern to the radio. Used to do it in the past.
Where would you like to spend this summer holiday?
Bon appetit Storm!
I would like to have gone to Scotland again, I love the highlands, but broken foot and no money mean that it will have to be next year.
Do you have any paintings in your house?
No. I had a few old ones but they weren't great and I don't know what happened to them. I have 2 big framed photos of my two grand-grand fathers from my dad's side. Some laugh at them but I love them to bits, they look very Macedonian.
Do you have carpets on the floor?
Carpets upstairs (probably time to replace them :s ). Maple hardwood downstairs, with ceramic tile in the kitchen (recently renovated :) ).
Do you have a balcony or patio that you can enjoy?
I live at the ground floor so no balcony. The apartment on the first floor that belongs to my cousins has a very nice balcony. I can spend time in my small yard or on the terrace above the garrage but it's too hot to stay outside. I use the terrace only to dry the laundry.
What's the most popular name for the girls and boys in your country?
I am not sure...there are just so many. Some are more popular than others obviously and they sort of have eras where those type of names are popular e.g my father's and his brothers' names were typical for that era (1940s and 50s) but now you will not find a single child with those names - at least in urban India.
Do you like your name?
No. It's horrible and too serious. Everybody call me with a diminutive that is not very usual. I don't like it either. Wonder what would I do if I lived with this name in Italy...... Both were the names of my dad's sister who died when she was 28. Aromanian tradition is to name the kids after their grandparents or close family. I escaped an even worse name, my dad's mum name was Despa. Good God, what an embarrassment to be called Despina......
Anyway, I hate to introduce myself and I have to do it quite often at work.
What brand is your cell phone?
dont know, dont care :)
are labels important to you?
None. The ones on clothes are just an irritation, and the ones attached to people are often done without knowing the person but as a snap judgement, often in hopes of making themselves feel superior in some way.Quote:

Aw - don't I sound like a saint :) Sadly though the thanks I received back was that, she no longer needs my help and has decided she doesn't need to speak to me - I really know how to choose friends eh ;)
What has been the worst thing any one has done to you (for my answer read the above answer to the previous question )
Well, there's someone at work who can't stand me and has influence on my boss who's trying to ''bite my ass''. Also she's talking cr*p about me and the rest of the coworkers to the big boss. I don't care but it's disgusting.
What really worries me is the way I lose friends. I mean it happens all of a sudden. Not that I have many. But in real life I'm different than here, I'm polite, calm and thoughtful and they suddenly begin to avoid me. This makes me suffer like hell and I wouldn't mind if they'd tell me where I'm wrong. Such thing happened last week and that's why I'm so such upside down. I always say never mind, I'll move on but it's so painful.....Maybe I invest too much soul and time in people who don't deserve it.
When will you have a day off from work?
I don't know as I am starting work again tomorrow. So I guess its a bit early to have a day off.
Do you ever go into a room and forget why you are in there?
Yes. Esp in the morning when I have to do too many things and I'm late. But it's more like going into a room to do X but doing Y instead. Most of the times I go to the kitchen to start the boiler but when I'm there I think about taking some food for work. I do the package but when I leave the house I remember I forgot the fruits and I'm about to return but the cat is mewing at my feet and I feed her but forget about the fruits, etc. etc. :crazy:
Are you a tidy person?
(PS Steve, i was thinking of a national holiday when all the people stay home)
Oh OK next national holiday is in a couple of weeks, then we have to wait until Christmas.
I am quite a tidy person. I like to have things organised in a certain way, although if I feel down like the last few weeks I often can't be bothered and so things get messy.
Have you ever skateboarded/roller skated/roller bladed?
I have skated a time or two, and don't recall that I've ever roller bladed. BUT I lived in southern California during the big skateboard boom and was a very good skateboarder. Due to where I lived I also met some of the people who would go on to be the industry leaders in skateboarding. I've met Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, and watched some pool sessions. :)
What is the worst job you ever had, however brief and regardless of age?
I had only 3 jobs. First was tough but coworkers super fine. Quit it only because it was far from home. The second was piece of cake, almost nothing to do and very close of home but coworkers very suspicious and selfish. It was also quite boring, just to stay 8 hours doing nothing, we didn't even have computers to pass the time. I left because of the company reorganizatiom. My current job is very demanding ( although you might not believe it ), it's nerves eating and boring, coworkers are mean, selfish, arrogant and boring, but it's kinda well paid and I can't get a new one anyway.
Now honestly I can't say which one was the worst....
At what age have you started working?
I had a part time job when I was 16; full time at 18.
If you could have anyone as a neighbor, who would you like to have move in next door?
Steve :p
If you could punch in the nose anyone who would you like to be?
( I know I'm the first choice so I'm excluded from the start :p )
I think I would like to punch Bernie Ecclestone because
(a) he's smaller than me
(b) he's older than me
(c) I think the changes he inspired have ruined motor racing as iknew it when I fell in love with the sport
This has probably been asked already, what is the worst car you have had - and the best?

Never had a car of my own. When I was a kid my dad bought a Ford Taunus 17 m Turnier like the one above. It was very old ( we bought it second hand ) but it was very comfortable and I loved it to bits. I used to stay in the luggage seat :p It was old and always needed fixing and we couldn't find exchange parts but my dad who was a driver since he was 13 managed to keep it alive. I used to call it Rablette and was a 2 in 1: worst and best car I've had.
At what age did you get your driving licence?
Worst - A 1955 Chevy BelAir 6 banger which was VERY used when it came into my hands. Things would tend to fall off, the gas gauge didn't work and the muffler was iffy - among a host of other things. Very close second was another VERY used 1957 Dodge Red Ram convertible. The rings were shot, the top was dry rotted and the generator was held on with a C clamp. The worst new car was a 1971 Chevy Vega GT. Great handling but a myriad other issues.
Best - A 1992 Acura Integra GT; a 2002 Acura CLS 5 sp; and my current 2011 Infiniti G37S. All excellent, trouble free cars. But my favorite was a 1972 Datsun 240Z. What a hoot to drive. And, for its day, pretty darn reliable.
What is your favorite sport that you participate in?
Gadjo, you're too quick. Or I spent too much time typing. :p
I got my driving licence at 18. I don't participate in any sports - a combination of lack of co-ordination and slow reflexes.
Does wood or charcoal produce a better barbecue?
I have only done a charcoal bbq which has a unique flavour, I probably have eaten wood fired stuff. BBQing isn't something thats done regularly here but I love it and have a very small portable charcoal grill. I am planning to do a small bbq on friday (national holiday!). Luckily a bit of a break in the monsoons after getting pounded for 3 weeks.
What is your ultimate dream car?
An electric one that has as much or more range as my gas powered one.
What color will your new car be.
Depending on the brand.
How many cars did you have during your life?
I have owned 3 (sold 2 of those, including my first ever car :( - which I sold almost exactly 1 year ago to the day), but I have had/driven a couple more quite regularly as well (my sister's 2 cars when she wasn't in the country).
What is your favourite racing livery?
I’m going to sound like an old fart but I’ve always loved the following cars for their liveries:
Lotus Type 25 – The yellow stripes on the green background, coupled with the yellow wheel rims was always attractive.
Lotus Type 76, 77 & 78 – Classic JPS, gold on black.
Porsche 917 in the distinctive Gulf Oil, orange on sky-blue.
Do you keep your vehicle clean, with regular washing and/or waxing?
That was the first car I purchased new (although not a GT). Loved it! Was fun to drive, handled great and was super-reliable. :)Quote:
