Why not? :angryfire
We will also talk about Neymar to keep you happy :p:
Ok :p
Is there actually a question at the moment :p
Yes. Where should we meet?
Under a clock at a railway station is the usual place in films and TV series. How about Book A Rest Station.
What is the weather like where you are?
Book a rest is perfect. It's sunny but not hot beer is cheap the railway station is close to my home
What hour should we meet?
In the evening baby :devil::laugh:;)
Do you like History?
OK. It's a date. To recognize each other you and Storm would wear FCB shirts with Messi on the back. I'll wear a Steaua shirt with no. 7 Lacatus. Although I risk a fight with some possible Dinamo or Rapid fans.Quote:

What was your fav class in school?
Drama. It was easy and free. We would spend hours messing about as we rehearsed plays.
Same Question?
English :laugh:
What was Steve's most memorable role in a school drama?
(Good God.....You studied drama in school....Where were the dull things I had to study? )
Banquo in MacBeth or Gerald in a play called "An Inspector Calls"
Do you have a favourite Shakespeare play?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNShlL5mXPo
The twelfth night. Got to see it in an outstanding version. I still sing the fool's song from the end of the play.
Do you like historical plays?
Hard question. Now that I am older I can appreciate historical plays, but haven't really been to any after I got to the age I could appreciate them. The last play we went to was American Idiot a couple years back.
What is one thing in your life that you have had a long term passion for?
Steaua . I'm a fanatic fan since I was 7 y.o.
Then from that age I also became interested in cinematography, I mean I read magazines, books, reviews about it. Then you can't imagine at what lengths I went to get to see some movies or how early I got up and stayed at queues for tickets.
Do you collect something?
Yes. F1 Races. Sad I know :dork:
Why did you choose your particular forum name?
Because that's what I am here, a gadjo dilo = crazy stranger in Romany. Stranger with the sense of intruder, someone who's not part of a community. Crazy because I'm not interested at all in motorsports but I spend a lot of time here.
Because I love movies and this is the title of a french movie.
Because I never wanted to let the forum know I'm a woman and become the target of stupid jokes and the ™o" ending sounds very neutral. But as it happens, I was betrayed.
Because......
The ''djo'' sounds terrible in my opinion and sometimes I think to change this name.
What nickname should I choose and why?
No Idea. I am no good at nicknames hence why I went with something similar to my name.
Have you a day off today?
For this time of the year I was planning a holiday. I planned it at the end of last year but obviously I can't leave now. I still decided to don't go to work because I'm tired and on the verge of a breakdown. Don't know if it's a good choice cos neither home I can't relax. Matter of fact I don't have the energy to do anything.
How many official days off do you have/year?
You mean paid statutory holidays?
Eleven I think (generally one per month):
January: New Years Day
February: Family Day
March: Nothing :(
April: Easter
May: Victoria Day
June: Nothing :(
July: Canada Day
August: Heritage Day
September: Labour Day
October: Thanksgiving
November: Rememberance Day
December: Christmas Day and Boxing Day
When is your next holiday?
Thats unfair. I only count 8 in the UK I think
January - New Year
April - Good Friday & Easter Monday
May - May Day & Spring Bank Holiday
August - Summer Holiday
December - Christmas & Boxing day
8 :(
So after today Christmas Day is our next National Holiday
When do you start planning for Autumn/winter?
I don't know how many official days off I have per year! :laugh: I just started with a new company and they do things a little differently. We get every big national holiday off, but unlike many companies I have worked for they also include the following or previous days as paid days off. They also don't count weekends against our vacation time, so I can take five days vacation yet not go to work for 9 days. I think it all works out to more paid days off than I used to have, but I'm not sure yet and have other priorities for now. I work independently and will rarely see a boss, so really they do it more on a trust basic regardless.
Does your opinion of a persons professional work ethic make it hard for you to be friends with those that are "slackers" at their jobs?
I don't plan. These 2 horrible things come anyway
Schmenke's q: next days off:
November 30 the _St Andrew (the one who introduced christianism in Romania + December 1 st our national day
How many holiday days from work do you have/year?
In my current position I have six weeks of paid vacation, or 30 days, per year. I rarely manage to take all 30 days off so I typically carry a balance into the following year. I really don’t know how what my current balance is for the remainder of this year :s . I’ll likely take a couple of days off, plus a few days during the Christmas break, and then carry over another balance into next year :mark: .
Similar to airshifter my company provides every second Friday off as a paid day, so taking two consecutive weeks off (which I rarely do) requires only 9 days of vacation time.
Did you enjoy the weekend?
I enjoyed the Belgian GP and talking with my daughter and wife who are out of town. Overall I worked a good part of the weekend, so only those parts were enjoyable. But I'll take a "weekend" during the week.
Do you think all people in Canada get too much vacation time, or is there no such thing as too much vacation?
I could never get enough vacation time.
How flexible is your job? In terms of days off and time of year.
I don't think I understand the q. I have 25 days of holiday/year but our management always turn their noses when we ask for them. The official days off are not a problem but otherwise is difficult to get one. We have to do extra hours and we should get free time instead but our manager refuse to sign the reports of hours or the requests of days off. I think I have more than 100 extra hours.
Do you have siblings?
Fairly flexible. We have a couple periods of time when it's not wise to take time off due to workload being greater, but they won't stop us if we want to do it. I will probably only see my boss a couple times a year on average, so day to day I do what I want and his only concern is if my job gets done. For that matter they don't care if I choose to work in the middle of the night rather than during the day.Quote:

Oh....Now I understand what flexible means. My job is imprevisible. You never know when an emergency comes. They come all the time lately. We work like slaves on plantation and they always consider it's not enough and insult us.
The paying is decent for the level of our salaries but the responsibility is huge. Then it's the frustration that in other countries people like us earn well. We also may represent our institution in boards and get good extra money but you know I don't have a good opinion on me and keep myself apart. I'd rather have a quiet sleep than complicating my life.
Do you think you'll be happy when you'll retire?
Hope so, though I plan to kick the bucket before I get to old :p:
Have you got a retirement plan in place?
I have to get the age and it's always increasing. :s
Will you get a decent pension?
My business and properties are my pension fund so hopefully they are still there when I want to retire :)
What's the retirement age in your country?
No. zero actually.
Do you plan your life for the next 10/15 years?
edit: 555 beat me to it. retirement age for public/gov service is usually 58/60
Private co..about the same but can be flexible for upper management especially.
I plan for today with the possible future in mind :) (hey could get knocked over by a bus tomorrow!)
Retirement or early joyous exit?
I have no other solution than retirement. :s
What age would be perfect for retirement?
At 55 :D
How was your day today?
I did nothing. Just stayed in bed with a tablet on my lap. I was supposed to meet Steve and Storm for a beer but they didn't come. Typical.....
Is 555 back for good?
Depends, who's asking? :D
Where's the party at?
Book A Rest station or something...:s
your favourite pub or restaurent is called?
