Interview the Person below you?

[gadjo_dilo]

It's in vain to pretend. We're not allowed to stay home without a paper from the family doctor. Of course the boss has a few favs who are let home if they have a pain in the nail. When I'm sick the boss simply recomands me to take a pill. In my 100 years of hard work I had only 15 days of sick days with medical recommandation.

Have you ever stayed in a hospital?

[steveaki13]

Yes two nights when I broke my wrist. I had to have it set in a winch and stayed the first night. Have a procedure the next day to put my wrist in the correct position and it cast in plaster (for which I was put to sleep) and then stayed the following night as I was still only coming round from sedation.

That was 5 years ago at the time I joined this forum through being bored. Look at me now hooked.

What is your favourite Motorsport Forum memory?

[Starter]

There is no one memory. Too many good conversations to pick only one.

How did you become interested in motorsports in the first place?

[Storm]

Always loved cars/bikes as a boy even though not many were on the roads here back then...Then whatever snippets of F1 or rallying were on the national tele got me really interested. Just when I finished my high school in mid 90s we got cable/satellite tv here and all types of racing in its full glory on tv..hooked!

Have you met any forum member till now?

[gadjo_dilo]

No and I will never meet.

Do you also have a nickname in real life?

[Storm]

I don't, my real name is short enough

gadjo specific: curious but why do you think you will never meet anybody from here? or is it that you don't WANT to meet?

(personally I was quite apprehensive meeting people from a virtual world but I ended up meeting many (and most were great!) in real life. Will probably meet a few more in the future if I am in the right place/right time (but now they aren't really strangers)

[gadjo_dilo]

I don't, my real name is short enough )

So what? You may not like your real name or some joker would exploit one of your qualities/defects and call you names like dwarf, gipsy, shorty, Tarzan, crazy, etc.

gadjo specific: curious but why do you think you will never meet anybody from here? or is it that you don't WANT to meet?

A mix of these two.
It's unlikely to get to meet somebody from the forum because I don't have the opportunity to travel and on the other hand people don't have reasons to come to Book-a-rest. There are a few romanians here but we aren't friends.

Then I don't want to meet anybody because I'm sick-shy and boring and I can't handle a decent conversation. More than that I've said on the forum things that I wouldn't dare to say in real life and I'd die of embarassment. I'd like to think I have a few very good friends here and I don't want to lose them. At the end of the day the forum is my oasis of serenity where I try to get free of the cruel realities of life.

( After writing this I added a new reason to never meet anybody from the forum )

Now I'm probably supposed to interview the person below me so:
Can I be sadder?

[Storm]

No. unless you want to be?

and I don't think you would be boring in a real conversation at all..we could always talk abt Steaua.
I would like to visit BookARest someday..infact I would love to travel to most of Europe..heck I would give anything to travel the whole world (excep perhaps the middle east - deserts bore me and no alcohol = no go)

Can't wait for tonight...I just fought with a close friend on chat about Netherland and their diving and not so attractive play..people tend to get angry/defensive online a lot than in real life!

Do you read? if yes, who is your favourite author?

[gadjo_dilo]

Not too much in the latest years. I love the south american literature and esp. Mario Vargas Llosa.
I also like a czech writer who lives in France- Milan Kundera.
And then it's the romanian Andrei Plesu who's my model of intelectual guy, very smart but with a refined humour. Unfortunately I don't have the desire to read anymore, I buy books but forget about them on the shelves.

(The single indian book I've ever read is A Bend in the Ganges by Manohar Malgonkar. Found it very interesting, I didn't know too much about what happened on that period)

Who's your fav movie director?

I would like to visit BookARest someday..

Don't bother. It's ugly and boring. But there are plenty of places for a good drink.

[steveaki13]

I don't really watch many movies so I honestly could not answer it. I know none really.

Sorry

Whats your funniest joke?
