    Andrew is greek and means brave or manly. So I am a Manly little village on a hill. Kinda sounds like some sort of 70's porn star retirement village when you put it that way

    Do you have any famous ancestors or family connections?

    Whoops! Beaten to it so I'll change my reply.

    No, I don't have any famous ancestors that I know of.

    If you could choose a new first name, what would you choose?

    Because my surname is Rollason, I like the rhythm that X-x X-x-X has on people's names in our family. I think I'd be a Matthew.

    If you could have any address in the world to live, which one would you choose?

    Someplace under a coconut tree on Bora Bora.

    If you could move to any city, town, etc. in your country from where you are now, what would it be?

    I wouldn't be happy anywhere else in this country. Brasov or Sibiu seem to be nice places but I definitely won't live there.
    If I really have to mention an option I'd say Campina, it's a quiet clean city about 90 km far from Book a Rest.

    Do you mind living in a village?

    Probably not. Would make a nice change from living in a big city.

    Are there many dedicated bicycle lanes in your city/town?

    We don't have at all. Right now they're trying to build one on one of the main boulevards.

    Are you turning your head after girls wearing mini skirts?

    There are supposed to be some, obviously completely useless to any bicycles now that they are encroached on by pedestrians, hawkers, even motorbikes and the odd stray dog (add the enormous money spent on making those lanes and the obvious graft/bribery/embezzlement that went on in that)

    A sad picture of life here for any 1st worlder but that is the fact

    When did you last watch a movie in a hall?

    edit: got pipped to it by gadjo,
    err likely to turn my head even for a very brief instant

    It's been quite a while. I think it was Oz The Great And Powerful with my kids, probably about a year ago.

    Do you purchase expensive (designer) sunglass, like Rayban, Serengeti, etc., or just the cheap ones that you can buy from a service station?
