I don't have one and I don't care where I go as long as the sea is nearby. Most of the times I go to 2 Mai, a small village of fishermen and I feel great cos I stay on the beach all day long.
Do you like to walk barefeet in the grass?

I don't have one and I don't care where I go as long as the sea is nearby. Most of the times I go to 2 Mai, a small village of fishermen and I feel great cos I stay on the beach all day long.
Do you like to walk barefeet in the grass?
Yes. One of the best feelings apart from walking on the sand of a beach with the water in your feet.
Do you like photography and if yes, what sort of equipment do you use? phones don't count.
Yes. I love it. Always wanted my own camera but when i was very young I couldn't afford it. Now I use the cheapest camera on the market - think it's a Nikon L22- but I'm happy with it. When I go to the countryside at my cousin's house I think I become really annoying taking pics all the time.
Same Q to the one below ( cos I feel guilty taking Steve's turn to answer. I know he's a great photographer )
so I won't answer either :p:
oops...steve is probably at work. we'll repeat the q later for him. let's continue
it's not even 8am there, does he start work so early? anyways, what is the question?
But he doesn't jump from bed and just start to work. He probably need to prepare + it takes time with the road to work.
The Q was the same about photography.
I love it too...started with a cheap Kodak digital camera 10 yrs ago which was excellent, moved on to a Lumix (which sadly is not working - the camera is fine but the viewfinder/screen is off :s ). A few years ago finally went for a SLR. So currently have a basic model Nikon D3000 and a few must have lenses. I haven't spent a tonne of money on this like some newbies I know (still quite a bit though) but I do manage to take a few good photos especially when I'm travelling.
Would you have liked to be in the armed forces? (unless you have compulsory service)
:eek:
Hate everything related to uniforms and orders. In the past all the girls ( me included ) who attended universitary studies had to serve . It was compulsory once/week in the first 3 years + a concentration of 1 month during summer ( imagine walking in boots at over 30C ). All the thing was so absurd, the uniform was horrible and heavy esp during winter, just a waste of time + we were ashamed to salute all the grades we've met in our way. After 3 months I managed to get a medical act and escaped.
Have you served?
No. It is voluntary (you can imagine wth such a population we don't need mandatory things as enough volunteers are alwaya available :s )
I did harbour hopes of joining the NDA (it is basically the training school for officer cadets - which is in my city) after completing high school, but I had to start wearing glasses at the end of my school years - which effectively ended my hopes of joining the air force/army ). Later on before age 25 I could have appeared for another exam to be part of the engineering/signal corps but that did not interest me.
Did you have a school uniform?
Yes from the first grade to the last year of high school. All of them horrible but you know that girls use to find solutions when it comes to their look. I think the 3 types of uniforms I had to wear increased in their ugliness proportionally with the number of the grade.
Pics of the various types of uniformes from the golden age:

Wasn't a country's hawk in kindergarten so I won't post that uniform. A! And I'm not in any of these pics Tried an extra pic with the premilitary uniforms in high school but I'm not allowed to post more than 4 pics.
What uniforms have you worn until now?
I've only ever worn the uniforms of the US Marine Corps. I did so of my own will for eight years and don't regret a second of it.
Do you think that uniforms worn for any purpose give the wearers a sense of team spirit and comradery?
To be honest the only sesnse I've got was of embarassment. You can't see it in the pics but we also had to wear a small label with the name of school + personal registering number ( could have been used to report you in case you had "undignified" behaviour ). Since I was a good girl and have no fear I'd be reported ( although I remember that I was in uniform when I had some beers with some colleagues....) I was kinda proud that my high school was an elite one if not the best in the country and people will read I was studying there. What a **** I was.....:p
I suppose that things were a bit different with the boys who had to serve. It was compulsory and it was a stage of 9 months ( for students ) and 1year 4 months for the others. Nobody was happy with this service that was complicating our existance and the conditions were miserable but it strangely realised a sort of communion between the boys.
Now I don't think that if i were a waitress in a pub wearing an uniform I'd show off any sense of team spirit....
Do you have fantasies?
Yeah, I have fantasies of Romanian girls in school uniforms :devil:
What's your latest achievement that you're personally proud of?
I managed to interview a few special guys on a forum.
What can we do to attract more people on this thread?
I think it's difficult because it looks as if it's very cliquey with various two person dialogues going on. On occasions I have felt I have been answering a question that was targeted at someone else. Maybe a "Talk about anything that's on your mind" thread on the main Chit Chat forum might help and ask open-ended generalised questions here.
Who would you like to have a meal with? (Could be past, present, true or fictitious)
Jesus. Now I am not religious in any way, but I think the guy was clearly a very interesting presence and it would be great to see what he was like and how much of his influence is fiction or real.
Would anyone post if I post a thread like the one D Type suggested?
No. There's no topic to beat the apathy of the members. I'm afraid that people just don't enjoy the forum anymore. Maybe we should try a thread about Why have you lost interest in this forum :p
What's your fav thread of the forum?
PS D-type, that's big fun to answer a q that you think that was meant to somebody else. At the end of the day it's a game. Personally I enjoyed answering q about my driving style or driving licence, about the F1 season, fav driver, etc. :p
The one I just set up by stealing D Types Idea ;), probably this one other than that.
Who is going to be F1 World Champion this season then?
Nico. Looking forward to seeing Hamiltwit's face when it happens, watch out for the knife in the hand when he pats Nico on the back :)
What is you lucky number and why?
My lottery numbers are 18, 21, 25, 33, 43, 49 these are the GP-winning Lotus types. Before that I had 5, 7, 27 (for Mansell, Moss and G Villeneuve) and I forget the others.
Do you believe in luck?
on the "Apathy" thing - I think a lot of people are moving from forums to facebook
ARRRGGGHHHHH don't mention the evil insidious book-face thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Studies show that for the most part the "fight or flight" reflex is instinctual, and can't be overcome. Have you ever been in a situation to find out, and did you fight or beat feet?
I believe in luck, but I think that you make your own luck in most cases (lottery numbers aside :))
What superstitions do you have
I'm sure I still have that label but I'm too lazy to look for it.Quote:

Enough with the back talk young lady. Find your registration number or there may be additional discipline in store for you!Quote:

What is the first thing you usually do when you get home from work?
OK, I'll be honest although it's trivial. No matter the season I warm up on my way home. So my first impulse is to wash my hands and throw out the pantyhose or trousers. If it's summer I usually get wet clothes so on my way to bath I start to throw them out.
What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
Young lady? Me?......:eek:Quote:

pee.
What is your favourite thing for breakfast?
Fried English Breakfast. Sausage, Bacon, Eggs, Beans, Mushrooms, Black pudding, Hash Brown and Toast. Yum Yum.
I only have it about 4 times a year though.
Have you ever stayed in a caravan or mobile home?
Like gypsies?....:eek: :laugh:
No. But I slept once in the old Taunus ( pics were posted a few days ago ) that was big enough to shelter me and my parents.
Did you ever shared a bedroom with more than 1o people?
Can't say I have.
What is happening outside your window right now?
Window to the street: wind is blowing into the trees across the street and a young couple is wandering hand in hand
Window to the court: the cat is sleeping at my window and the company over the fence is closed during weekend.
Window to the inner court: too small space for any action.
Do you feel tired after a week of work?
Yes very. I have also been picking apples this evening. I am ready for bed.
Do you eat Apples?
Not my fav fruit but I eat. I like them when they're not fully ripe and sour.
Did Steve climbed in the tree to pick apples?
Not really. Mostly I was using a step ladder.
Do you have a favourite Cheese?
Strange you asked this. Being a genuine '' machedoanca" I should be a strong cheese eater. Romanians say about us that we are kinda shepherds. :laugh: I like cheese but only during summer when I can eat it with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. I eat only cheese from sheep or sometimes cows milk, never of goat or buffalo . In this part of the world we eat telemea cheese and we buy it from the market directly from the producer. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemea I also like feta cheese.
What will you do today apart from watching Belgian gp?
I have an Inter Club football match to play in. I may have to play in goal.
Will you be watching the Belgian GP or any part of it?
