    You'll Never Walk Alone is the perfect anthem for the Scouse Nation There is however no way in hell that the funeral dirge God Save The Queen should be the UK anthem, it is so slow and boring. It is the reaqson British sports teams are aweful - by the time the anthem is finished they are all years older.
    Anthems should be inspiring and should reflect the Nation, take 'Das Deutschlandlied' for example

    Nothing really...ok perhaps getting pretty decent at Spanish (working full time as a computer programmer while studying) and getting the advanced diploma from the Uni (now I am not as good due to lack of practice even though I read news)

    btw I had been harping about the monsoon being late - well finally it got here last week


    I am at the lower end of the huge system in the middle



    yeah a question right, What are you planning to buy in the near future?

    0.02 at the moment I have been doing a bit of paid work here and there, but am still looking for some fulltime employment.

    What was the last thing you were given as a present/gift of some kind?
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    I think that on my birthday my cousins offered me some cheap cosmetics and a set of bracelet-necklace that I've never worn. I always get the feeling that when they offer something they are cleaning their cupboards, they never think of my age, personality or taste. The presents I usually get are most of the time a disappointment.

    what was the last thing that you offered to someone as a gift?

    It kinda has become. In my country offering flowers is at high price. Whenever you go at somebody's house you have to bring flowers for the women in it. I mean if I go to a man's anniversary I have to also buy flowers for the wife, or mother or daughter or anybody wearing a skirt. As it happens this otherwise nice and civilised custom was exaggerated and now you can't come with a normal bouquet but with a special arrangement that costs a lot of money. Aromanians don't have such refinements and we prefer to spend those money to buy cakes or drinks .
    Personally, I don't mind getting flowers at home but I hate to walk on the street with flowers in my hand. The most annoying is when I get flowers at work.and I have to carry them on my way home. During my first job when I had a lot of friends at work and flowers were cheap I used to get so many flowers that it was impossible to gather them in my arms.

    I attached a few samples of what offering flowers means today and my Q is: do you offer such floral homages to the women in your life?

    some times, but last time I sent her flowers, she decided not to speak to me for a week - bloody women... you can't live with them, and it's still a crime to shoot them

    would I be better off getting a puppy?

    Yes. Go for it.

    Did you ever want to walk up to a person in a position of power, economic, political or religious, and slap them up side the head and say: "What in the h-ll were you thinking?"
