Yeah. Without wings. One day I'll throw myself out of the window.
Do you like to run?
Somewhat. I run regularly, about 40kms per week and participate in a few ~10km race events per summer. Unlike others around here (see the other thread :p: ), I don’t run anything close to a marathon :uhoh: .
What do you do to try to keep fit?
Nothing. I'm used with the idea I'm not good looking.
Do you go to a fitness club?
Haven't been to a gym etc for about 20 years.
which weighs more, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers? :)
Pound of Gold, because I am holding onto it. :p
What is your idea of the perfect day?
A day of holiday at the seaside. Swimming all the day, then going out for a drink and dinner, then playing cards with friends while on TV we could watch Steaua winning a CL match, then........:devil:
I'd do anything for a day of holiday.......:s
Do you like to go on holiday at the seaside?
Absolutely, I have not been to the seaside for a day on the beach for years sadly.
Can you ride a bike? If so do you ride one reguarly
Yes. No.
Who's your fav singer/band?
Back in the day it was Ian & Sylvia, Currently its probably Josh Groban.
Have you ever gone to a major concert?
A few, but none all that recently. Bands touring now days have no interest for me, they are mostly either bands from 40 yrs ago, who are now in their 70's or older, ore modern talentless mass produced dross.
what was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Nymphomaniac part II by Lars con Trier
Same Q for you
Embarrassingly it was the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie 10 years ago. I usually wait for them to come out on DVD :(
When was the last time you made someone laugh?
About 10 minutes ago. My wife says that's why she keeps me around.
What is your favorite art form?
Probably music. But there were times when cinematography, literature and painting were highly appreciated. I reckon these days I've become an ignorant insensitive disgusting ××××. :s
Do you like to write letters?
No. I'm lazy that way and my handwriting is terrible. (Not that my typing is much better.)
Who do you speak with most often on the phone? Mother, father, aunt, sister, friend, neighbor, etc.
I've become very close to one of my cousins lately. She and her husband spend summers at their house in the country so we speak quite often and for hours.
Problem is that I can't sleep and need to talk to someone during nights and I can't wake up anybody to talk to me. It's really hard to pass the time.....:s
How high is your phone bill?
I have no idea; the wife pays the bill :p: . It’s not too much though as we subscribe to a pretty decent plan and make next to no long-distance calls. I have been suggesting that we drop our land line as I see no need for it, but she still wants to keep it.
Do you still have a phone land line?
Yes, its bundled with cable & internet. Also have a cell phone on a separate plan.
What electronic gadget, real or dreamt, would you like to own and how much would you be willing to pay for it?
I am not very fond of gadgets. I do lust after certain other things though (especially guitars, speaker systems etc)
Do you play video games? Or did you play any in the past?
Yes. I play F1 & motorsport games and FIFA series.
How many times have you been to a different country?
I was counting up the other day and I've been to 28 different countries. The criterion I used was spending at lest one night there. Day trips and airline stops where you remain 'airside' don't count. Being born overseas and having a father who worked overseas in the days before air travel was common are reasons there are so many. Add in holidays abroad and working abroad and they soon add up.
What country would you like to visit or live in?
New Zealand. I guess I could visit Anfield, but I have always liked the look of it. It seems to have so many diverse climates and places.
Do you ever eat at takeaway restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King or KFC etc etc?
No, I never eat "fast food" (and avoid fried food altogether), although we will sometimes have a pizza or Chinese takeaway.
Do you like sushi (sorry, I get the feeling this question has been previously asked :mark: ).

Never eat. Hate this kind of stuff.
So do you eat healthy?
I try to Gadjo, but I normally end up eating chips, chocolate or cake.
Would you/ have you ever been Sky Diving?
Healthily yes, health food no, just try to balance things eg pies AND beer!
Do major companies who invent false science to make you buy their products annoy the hell out of you, or is it just me? eg cosmetic companies that invent names of sciency sounding compounds that only their crap contains and you can't live without.
too late Anfield :D
Sky diving - hell....no....
Anfield's q -I don't bother with such things
How's the weather where you live? I nearly fainted at 38 C in the shadow. In the sun and central part it was 50C
For the last two days we have had southerly gales, driving rain and a temperature of about 8 degrees.centegrade
what is the single dumbest thing you have ever done?
Waking up at 5.10 on a day off and coming to read the forum instead of going back to sleep :p
What was your most ridiculous outfit?
Blew it again.
Most ridiculous outfit.
I guess when I was young (8-10) and I used to dress up as Dennis the Menace :rolleyes:I looked a fool, but I was young.
Who is the last person to shout at you?
My general manager( or chief of department or god knows how I can call him). But the guy is mad and shouts all the time and at everybody. About half of my coworkers needed medical assistance after a dispute with him. We nicknamed him Tarzan cos he shouts. Just remember me to post about him and Tarzan shout at funny facts thread.
Who's the person you like most to talk to? - Can be from real life, from the forum, from Facebook, etc.
( me excluded) :p
Why should we exclude you? :fasttalk:
Because I ask q to find things about you but because you all have a strong sense of humour, one might say "you" just for fun. :p
Well I do like talking to you Gadjo (dont blush) :p
My answer though is strangely enough my Auntie. She is a very kind person generally, very positive and supportive and we talk at times about all manner of things.
She listens well, which not many people do that I know.
Have you ever picked apples off a tree in person? (Strange Q maybe, but tonight I have picked and boiled apples off my apple tree's)
After a week or two I'll bore you to death as I do with everybody. You'll probably change your forum name just to avoid me :laugh:Quote:
Well I do like talking to you Gadjo (dont blush)
Yes, every year at my cousin's house in the country. They have about 6 apple trees and I love the fruits when are still green and sour. Most of the fruits are attacked by worms and fall from the branches. I don't have the possibility now but on Monday I'll show you a nice picture taken from her house attic. The door of the room is open and you can see the branches full of fruits as if they enter the room.
One of my darkest memory is related to picking grapes. Have you ever harvest a vineyard?
I have been to a vineyard, but never picked anything other maybe my nose :D, I always thought I might fancy working a vineyard but I guess it might be tough work.
Probably asked not that long ago, but do you own a Teddy Bear or soft toy?
No. And all my life I wished I have a teddy bear.
Did you have an electric train when you were a kid?
