Who is your countries traditional rival?
Australia - we have a real love-hate thing with them. Although the Aussies see England as their rival instead of NZ, this really annoys us poor little Kiwis.
Is history and tradition important to you?
Yes I think so, I mean we would not have the things we have today without it.
Do you read up on local history to you?
I have done in the past, and tend to if I ever relocate to a new area.
What would be you 'Eggheads" specialist category?
I did not understand the question.
Somebody wants to explain?
Didn't understand either.
Do you often have difficulties in understanding the q's of this thread?
Not really.
Do you like asking questions or answering them?
I think my answers should be shorter. I talk too much about me and I.m afraid I put too much my soul on a plate in front of unknown people. I don't mean the few regular posters of this thread who I already consider dear friends but, blimey, I see that the forums have hundreds guests who might read my elucubrations...Recently I saw that a nephew is a big F1 fan and even went to hungarian GP. I thought what if he's one of the guests and see that his otherwise serious auntie is playing the fool on a forum....So all the time I swear my answers would be yes or no + less than 10 words but then I write again half a page...
I suppose it's because I like to answer the q.
I also like to ask q but I'm afraid I asked almost everything. But my imagination is unlimited anyway. :p
Last but not least, I confess this thread is my fav of the forums.
What is/was your fav thread?
quite a few.I like this one and the counting images too (apart from those rules :s ), also all the football/world cup related threads in CC, also the Geography thread, plus many more in the F1 forum but most are in the past. Still currently the donkey of the race is a good thread ;)
Do you like restaurant food or street food ? (if you have any street food where you live!)
I don't like to eat cooked food with vegetables at restaurants. I'd rather prefer different types of grills with fried potatoes. Street food....They don't have our traditional dishes but shaormas and kebabs, definitely not my taste ( chicken, garlic, grrrrr.....)
In indian tv series I see people no matter social condition use to take food cooked at home in a sort of metalic boxes to eat at school, work, etc. Do you take such thing?
Kids for school lunches, trade people who work away from home or easy access to restaurants and some office folks who bring their lunch do.Quote:

I badly need an elegant dress but I can't find it. On my search I found a rather casual one that I tried on, liked and bought it. I don't wear dresses, just skirts or jeans so I thought it will be a nice change.
Do you like to buy clothes?
Not really.
Do you like eggs? If so, fried, poached, boiled, scrambled or other?
Yes, scrambled, in an omelet, fried or hard boiled.
Do you enjoy reading, if so what?
Posts on forum and I simply adore PM's. :p
Was your country literature a mandatory object of study when you were in school?
*Explanation of Anfield's egghead question. Eggheads are clever people on a quiz show, that people trying and beat. So your egghead subject would be a subject you are very knowledgeable about and enjoy
answer: Yes for a few years later in school life
Do you have a favourite TV quiz show?
Used to love them in the past and was proud of my general knowledge. These days TV channels don't have such shows anymore and I also lost interest. My fav was Who wants to be a billionaire (yes, due to inflation we were billionaires).
Do you watch reality shows?
No I can't stand them to be honest.
North, East, South or West? :p
South.
Have you ever met someone interesting on a train?
Yes. Though I've only been on a train a few times in my life, on one long trip in the US I met a very interesting young woman and we talked most of the day long trip while we were awake.Quote:

No. I would have liked to travel abroad but then again I'm too shy to cope with new people. I hate it even when I have to go to different institutions here. Definitely I'm happy that I don't have to travel within the country.
Does your work require hand crafts?
Does keyboard typing count? :p:
Do work primarily out of one location?
Not really. Being a Gardener I have to move around a bit, but nowhere majorly away from base.
When was the last time you got the giggles?
When I saw a friend doing the ice bucket. :p
When was the last time you lost your temper?
When I had to do the ice bucket ;)Quote:

What is your favourite type of Bread?
A few weeks ago, when one of my former trainees, whom I placed into a job, started spreading wicked lies around town about me, and how I had refused to assist her into a job, how she had to do it on her own, and then she claimed that I was sexually harrassing her while she was on my course. - This kinda got me quite mad, angry enough to see my solicitor and have him issue a letter to this ermm.... person, stating that if she continued to do what she was doing we would issue a defamation suit against her. (who says work is boring?)
Do you hold grudges or do you let bygones be bygones?
Slow down folks :p:
Bugger!! pipped at the post again!!Quote:

What do you think are the best things to go in a toasted sandwich?
Rollo: Cascaval (- don't know how to say in English. It's caciocavallo in italian and it's a sort of cheese) + Prague ham.
Steve: the bread of my childhood, the real bread.
What's the first thing to come to your mind when you wake up in the morning?
Bacon or Cheese
Do you like toasted subs? (I miss Quiznos)
edit: gadjo got there first
mornings- I guess, "It felt only like I slept a few hours) (which it often is!)
Don't know what you talking about but after googled it and saw some pics I suppose I do like them.
What's your fav tea? In case you drink tea.

Why do you ask so personal Q?
I didn't realise that was personal. I thought we were all friends here :p: .
Do you wipe with your right or left hand?
Right.
Wipe where? :confused:
