Boring Rugby boring Union boring, gets most coverage, but everytime the All Whites (not much imagination when naming teams in NZ) play their matches are usually on TV. In truth there is a bit of a 'band wagon' mentality here. If the team are looking like qualifying for the World CUp, all of the arm chair experts suddenly appear, and try to convince the rest of us of their dedication and knowledge of all things football.

Would you watch F1 live if races started at midnight and finished at 1:30 - 2am on a Monday morning?

Probably, but no guarantee. You must be very committed to do that.

Yes. :p

Am I a fool for trying to answer the Q above but falling asleep with the tablet on my chest and waking up at 2 am?

Work until 4:30. Home, cook tea, watch replay of England v Norway at 5pm, get bored with watching England v Norway at 5:15, then who the hell knows until bed time :)

In this digital world we live in, do you consider your on-line forum friends as real friends?

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 01:59
A few months ago I would have said no. Now it's completely different. I get to talk to you more often than to my friends in real life and due to this thread you know me as well as they do. So yes, for me some of the forumers are real friends.

Am I really such a sad fart?

anfield5
4th September 2014, 04:37
Certainly not. Your answer was exactly what many of us would put, to be honest I (and probably many others here) tend to open up more in a forum like this than we do to many of our flesh and blood friends...

and how can a fart that is the corner stone of British humour ever be considered as sad? :) (that isn't my question, it was rhetorical)

Do you find the differences in different countries sense of humour confusing. i.e. why for example do many of our American friends find the British sense of humour difficult to understand etc?

Storm
4th September 2014, 05:11
Not confusing but just the like the language or cultural differences ,funny in their own right...The brash/outlandish American humour vs the dry, self deprecating British wit...both can be/are funny in different situations.

What phrase/word (that gets used a lot by people/media) irritates the hell out of you? (Unless you are the saintly type who is above such trivial matters :) )

From sports figures - "We're going to give it 110%.". Just stupid on the face of it.

What's the real world value of an advanced education where you are?

Storm
4th September 2014, 06:42
Not much. The only thing an advanced education does is open doors of bigger companies especially in the high-tech industry...doesn't really help you do your job as such.

(Those sports phrases and most of them from America (and a fair few from UK, especially football related) are what harass me too)

Are you satisfied with the education you received? In terms of quality? Do you plan to study any further?

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 07:51
Storm you were faster in answering a Q that touched my sensible chord and whose answer is the key to my unhappiness. But your Q is also good.
My education isn't great. On that time we studied all to know all but in reality we didn't study anything thoroughly.. However it was difficult to access a university and then to pass the exams so I had to study hard( not to mention that I'm not an intelligent person, just average ). I hadn't problems where I worked and was joking that I needn't my studies to do it. When I started to work in my current job I faced a new problem, I had to study tons of legislation. I did it and even tried to study legislation that didn't apply to my department. I wasn' probably the best employee but I was very serious about my work and followed courses to improve my knowledge. In time I realised I'm a fool, in our society the ones who make it are those with dubious studies ( there are tens of private universities where you almost can buy a diploma of graduation ) who are hired through relationships and gets key positions without any experience. Hence the flourishing economy of the country......Those who are serious and dedicated to work are considered fools and also are used to work while the army of the so called 'wise guys" take the benefits. On these circumstances I'm not interested anymore to study more than I need for my current job. It's their world in which I can't fit in and I dislike it. All the values in which I was raised are obsolete now ( and now I'm not speaking only about work ) and it's a crazy world with new rules that are strange to my nature. I do my best to adapt myself to these rules but it's really hard and I'm more and more unhappy. At the same time I've noticed I changed a lot and I really dislike this person..
Good God... I was determined to sleep a lot this morning and again I was taken by the wave....

Are you happy with your job?

555-04Q2
4th September 2014, 12:55
Yes I love my job :) I wake up every morning wanting to go to work which is a blessing. You need to be happy with your job considering that you spend approx 30% of your life at work. If you don't enjoy your job, move to where you will be happier, even if it's for less money it's the best thing you will ever do.

What would be your dream job?

If you don't enjoy your job, move to where you will be happier, even if it's for less money it's the best thing you will ever do.

I'm glad you like your job, but you must be a patient person. I've been led to believe that at times your boss can be a miserable prick! :laugh:

But I agree completely with your statement. Not long back I left a company and moved down in salary, for the sake of seeing my family and having time to enjoy life. You can't replace happiness with cubic dollars and find a real balance in it, unless you fool yourself into thinking so. This is not to say that there aren't good/great paying jobs that still leave time for a life, as I'm working in one now.




What would be your dream job?

A very tough question, and from my life experiences my "dream job" would be about much more than income. I'd say it would have to involve something where I saw first hand I was helping people truly in need of help. Not as a smile in a suit or upper level position, but where I actually contributed more directly. Maybe a middle level management position for a humanitarian organization, or as a counselor of some sort. But it would have to be a "hands on" type thing in either case.




Do you think that there are people living in relative poverty that are quite happy with their lives and living conditions?

He's the boss. That's why going to work is a blessing. :angryfire:


Do you think that there are people living in relative poverty that are quite happy with their lives and living conditions?
Living in poverty is tough and generates a lot of problems. Still the most important thing is health. I lived at the lowest limit of poverty but I was happier than I'm now when I have a relative good income but about 2/3 of it goes on my mother's treatment. Maybe for you it's hard to understand but poor people has their own reasons of joy. What is considered normal for us for a poor might be a big realization even if we consider it minimal.

Have you been baptized ( or christened or whatever the word is )?

schmenke
4th September 2014, 19:09
Yes.
And we’ve baptized both my kids, even though my wife and I are not really religious. Not sure why we bothered to baptize them; more out of custom I guess.

When’s the last time you attended church (temple, whatever…)?

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 20:19
I usually go only for weddings, christening and funerals and I've never missed the Easter night. However since my mother is so sick I started to go from time to time just to light a candle for her health ( in fact candles are lighted outside the church - an annoying new custom ).

What's your fav cake?

steveaki13
4th September 2014, 22:35
I reckon Victoria Sponge or maybe Chocolate and Caramel shortbread. yum yum

Do you ever diet or are you someone who doesn't care if they are small, big or square?

anfield5
4th September 2014, 23:00
I don't diet as such, but I try to eat a balanced and sensible way (I did say try, not succeed). As to how I look, as long as I am healthy and relatively fit I am not too worried.

Not including any physical traits, what would you consider to be your best feature?

steveaki13
4th September 2014, 23:02
I like to think I am a very friendly person to anyone I speak to, online or in person. I have no time for people who are nasty for no reason.

Be nice and you feel better.

Do you have a balanced musical taste or do you only like one genre of music?

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 23:08
I like different kinds of music. Can't stand folkloric music but there are a few songs that I admit are great. When I'm in the mood I can also listern to symphonic music or opera.

Would you have liked to be a singer? If yes, who?

steveaki13
4th September 2014, 23:12
I would certainly love to be able to sing, but if you had heard my voice you would agree I can't.

I would like to have been someone who can sing many types of song well. Don't really know who though.

Do you read Newspapers?

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 23:17
No. From time to time when I'm at work I read a tabloid online just to tease a coworker with news like ''look what your lover did"".

Do you read comics?

steveaki13
4th September 2014, 23:27
I used too. I was a child and I read the "Beano" Probably not known outside the UK.
http://chrishallamworldview.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/beano014.jpg

Then when I was older I moved on to Superman.

I still have all the graphic novels I got 10-15 years ago and occasionally look at them.

Do you ever remember strange dreams when you wake up?

Usually I'm too tired to dream. I mostly dream with eyes open. :devil:

Do you believe in dreams interpretation?

steveaki13
4th September 2014, 23:35
Not really. I tend to subscribe to the thought that dreams are your days events and thoughts being shuffled around. Most dreams I remember feature things that are on my mind.

What do you day dream about?

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 23:44
About traveling, about guys.....:p

Do you snore?

anfield5
4th September 2014, 23:45
Often don't remember. But from time to time I am in a situation or visiting a place I have never been too, and I know I have seen the place before in a dream.

Does that make me weird? :)

gadjo_dilo
4th September 2014, 23:51
Yeah because you answered a wrong Q. :p

Do you snore?

anfield5
5th September 2014, 00:09
Don't know, but it might explain the grumpy looks I used to get from Denise in the mornings :) I always assumed it was because I farted in bed, or mumbled other names in my sleep.

What plans have you got for the weekend?

steveaki13
5th September 2014, 00:27
I had a hectic weekend last week. This week I have my first football match of the season on Saturday Afternoon followed by a day in my garden on Sunday.

Now I am back at work. I am knackered and don't do any work in my garden. So that is my job this weekend

Same Question

anfield5
5th September 2014, 01:03
It looks like being wet and miserable, so I'll be inside. I am building a few things, a Wolf WR1, and a wooden replica of a 17th Century Man-O-War. The wolf is a kit the ship is from scratch, with the details on its design and specs coming from various books and web sites. If the weather clears up I might get in a round of golf as well. Plus it's Italian GP weekend.

Do you but lotto tickets?

steveaki13
5th September 2014, 01:09
I have done regularly in the past, however I am out of the habit and so have no chance of all that money.

What would you do if you won a huge amount? (After family and friends)

gadjo_dilo
5th September 2014, 01:59

Plans are the same: clean house/find a dress.

Lol. It happened again. I fell asleep while answering anfield's q and then wake up at 2 am.
Do you think I'll find the right dress?

5th September 2014, 02:18
I have done regularly in the past, however I am out of the habit and so have no chance of all that money.

What would you do if you won a huge amount? (After family and friends)

For myself. Buy a house with 4-5 acres of land to keep a couple of horse, a donkey, a goat and a Komondor (google it and smile). Spend a couple of months back in England catching up with old friends and family, then back to New Plymouth and start my own business.

For others, I would look at setting up a trust for up and coming sportsmen to access to help them to get to the elite level of their sport, as many kids have the talent to go a long way, but simply can't afford the costs associated with this. Plus various charities would get a decent windfall as well.

How much is too much when talking about Lotto winnings etc?

After last week-ends rafting rush this will be a down w/e...we plan to shop for some clothes(and a wallet for me - I was stupid enough to take mine while rafting and everything inside got soaked!!! and the leather wallet is now weird shaped :s ) and then eat out and have a beer or two. Sunday nothing is planned , so maybe watch the GP, play with the little one (no footie to watch late nights)

same Q?

steveaki13
5th September 2014, 08:58
Tough one to answer. I guess there is a to big an amount, but you can always use extra for charity or helping family more, so I dare say I could cope with trying to find out ;)

Should I have answered Storms very late question?

Going at the seaside, swimming for hours, getting some sun tan, getting drunk, falling in love, building sand castles, eating fried anchovies/sprats, watching the sea for hours, wandering on the dams, etc. :crazy:

What's your idea of perfect weekend?

555-04Q2
5th September 2014, 16:20
Friday night: watching Friday night rugby accompanied by a large pizza while ignoring the wife.
Saturday: early morning workout session in my gym followed by playing and swimming with my kids then have an ice cold beer or two watching the Springboks play rugby in the afternoon. In the evening chill with the wife watching a good movie.
Sunday: Take my cars to the car wash, play with the kids or visit friends/family followed by an evening of PS3.

That is my perfect weekend which I manage to achieve every now and then :)

What did you have for lunch today?

What's your favorite beer (assuming you drink beer)?

gadjo_dilo
5th September 2014, 17:19
Well, I like beer but it's fair to say I can't make the difference between brands. I'm not very fond of black beer. Also I once tried a Guinness and I thought it was awful, as bitter as a gall bladder's content.To be honest I like Carlsberg but it's too expensive to drink on regular bases. I use to buy the brand that has a special offer.
I'm afraid this post is another low point for me. :s

What is your fav wine?

Starter
5th September 2014, 18:42
Years ago when I worked for a liquor and wine distributor, I learned not to be a wine snob. Some of the best wines are also among the less expensive. Like beer, it depends on your individual taste. I like a nice chardonnay, or a merlot and sometimes a sangria, depending on my mood.

What would be your idea weight (lbs or kilos) and are you far off it? (I'm about 12 - 15 lbs over what I would like.)

gadjo_dilo
5th September 2014, 19:27
I wish you'll appreciate my honesty. I can pretend I have the weight of a supermodel and since none of you knows me or will ever get to see a pic of me I can easily lie. But I admit I'm not happy with my weight, I wish I have let's say about 10 kg.less to be ok with my height, age and constitution. At the beginning of the year when my mother got sick I couldn't eat anything for weeks and lost about 6 kg. Then I learned to cope with the situation and started to eat again but not in the healthiest way possible and put weight again. Then I also have big and heavy bones that must be taken into account. The only good point is that my face look much younger and nobody believes my biological age.
So what is it guys? Question by question and answer by answer I miss points. :p

What kind of women do you like? Skinny or with some meat on the bones? ( I suppose none of you like the overweight/obese type :p).

Do you ever look online at things from your childhood (tv shows, music or toys) and wish you could go back to those days?

555-04Q2
6th September 2014, 09:11
Yes! Loved the 80's. Decade that gave us some great tv shows that i fondly watch re runs of on the series channel. It was a tough decade too where my folks were dirt poor and my parents split up but is was a time that, as a young age, made me realise nothing in life is easy and moulded me into the man I am today.

When you were a kid did your parents throw big birthday parties for you or small family type affairs?

gadjo_dilo
6th September 2014, 09:25
They didn't throw any kind of party because aromanians of their generation didn't celebrate birthdays. The only celebrations were the name days on the days of the respective saints and it was only for men. My name hasn't a saint anyway but to please me they assimilated in to a saint. Family still congratulate me on that saint day rising suspicions on my coworkers mind who think also to assimilate it in order to get cake and drinks. The funny thing is that until I was 19 I had no clue about my parents birthdays. I had to fill in some data for my military service and when I had to say their birth information I hadn't the faintest idea and I lied.

Do you use to celebrate your birthday at work?

Depends on what the weekend was like. GP Monday's I am not fond of. European races start at midnight and finish towards 2am, so starting work on 4 hours sleep is quite a pain.

Not really as I'm one of those people that rarely takes medicine even when sick and my body is pretty immune to most of the crap out there. But I know that hypochondriacs the world over are in for fun times ahead!

What you make of all the troubles in the world today?

steveaki13
7th September 2014, 23:45
Its worrying that as the world advances it seems that just as many groups of people seem intent on holding things back. Most of the issues and conflicts seem so needless, but I guess humans by nature are pretty aggressive creatures and as long as they believe different things, they will always come to blows.

I think there are some very worrying times ahead.

Do you feel any world events threaten you country?

We are less directly threatened than some of our European friends. Still, no place is safe in today's world. I see a possibility of a world wide melt down potentially looming. We'll all be in deep dodo if that happens.

Do you have plans for time off in September for a quick get away?

steveaki13
8th September 2014, 00:54
Not for a quick get away a such, but I do have a couple of days off next week to make a 4 day weekend, which I will do something for. Not sure what yet. It will be a short notice decision.

What sort of things have you done at short notice in a similar situation?

We used to show up at the airport from time to time and jump on a plane and go to wherever it was going for the weekend. (I should explain New Plymouth airport is kinda small and usually only has one plane on the ground at a time:))

How do you decide on where you will go on holiday?

gadjo_dilo
8th September 2014, 07:07
My holidays depends mostly on finding a friend to accompany me. Then comes the money factor. Very difficult to combine these two. Next time I'll go by myself.

Do you spend holidays in your country or abroad?

steveaki13

Both in the past, but more often in the UK.

Do you have a coal fire/central heating or oil/gas heating at home?

gadjo_dilo
8th September 2014, 09:14
Tragedy is that at the moment I have both but none works. I have wood/coal stoves that are old and need serious repairs. Also to get wood fuel in the middle of Bucharest is very hard. I have installed a gas heating central for 2 years but bureaucracy stopped me branching to the gas network. I used electric radiators that couldn't heat the big old rooms and trembled all the winter.

How do you heat your home during winter? ( bet the next to answer is Storm :laugh:)

schmenke
8th September 2014, 16:47
(Not Storm :p: )

Around here pretty much all homes are heated by a natural gas furnace with a fan that blows heated air to all rooms through ducts. I really prefer electric heating but that's very expensive here.

How's public transportation where you are?

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 ;)

After that I owned:
1988 Jeep Wrangler
1994 Acura Integra (the first car I ever purchased new)
2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport
2004 Mazda Tribute 4x4

Our current cars are (yes, embarassingly we own three):
2011 Toyota Sienna LE minivan (the missus' daily "bus" )

You afraid of snakes?

gadjo_dilo
14th September 2014, 10:48
It's more repulsion than fear.

Are you afraid of rats?

steveaki13
14th September 2014, 14:43
No afraid, they have their place, but its the fact that they live off our waste and carry disease. So that makes me wary.

Are you watching any sport today?

555-04Q2

steveaki13

What is your ideal breakfast?

gadjo_dilo

Do you usually get to work on time?

Well right now I make my own schedule, so I always get to work on time. :) But I don't always get there when I want to. :laugh:


Do you usually get home from work on time?

Starter
15th September 2014, 14:37
When I was working it depended. If I was caught up I left when I felt like it. If not, then when I was done. So no particular time.

Would you rather work a set schedule or be able to adjust as needed?

gadjo_dilo
15th September 2014, 14:43
I want to work just 6 hours/day. I don't have enough time to live.:devil:

Are you happy with the idea of retirement or are you one of those who want to work till death?

No, I really don’t like writing but ironically I am quick to “wordsmith” others’ work, for spelling and grammar.

Did you manage to accomplish any household chores this weekend?

steveaki13
15th September 2014, 18:38
Hell yes.

Not on myself.

Do you have a hair style, or a hair cut?

gadjo_dilo
15th September 2014, 23:21
My hair is simply cut at a certain length. My cousin who's cutting it calls this coiffure ''mala mujer''. Not because I'm a bad person but because an actress who played in this peruan telenovela had this cut.

Would you have liked to be a spy?
( in case you're not already, of course)

anfield5
15th September 2014, 23:52
It rather depends on who I am spying on, and whether I get to choose my target :)

Who would you like to spy on?

gadjo_dilo
16th September 2014, 09:18
The next person who'll answer this thread. :p
( I guess it's probably the end of it. :angel: )

Do you think you'll notice that I'm spying on you?

steveaki13
16th September 2014, 09:30
Always, although I am just going to work. How are you going to spy on me there? :p

Hiding behind the trees, sheltered by the bushes.....:devil:

Stay.

Is it fair to ask 2 questions on the same post?

steveaki13
16th September 2014, 20:08
Yes, because I am so dumb I didn't even know I had posted two questions. :p

Will you watch TV soon? Or read a book?

Storm
16th September 2014, 20:18
I am too tired today to do anything...athough in an hour or so CL kicks off :s

steveaki13
16th September 2014, 20:50
I have my own football training at the time, so I won't see any tonight. I will watch tomorrow.

Do you normally sleep well?

gadjo_dilo
16th September 2014, 21:13
Not in the last 8 months.It's hard to sleep when someone keeps on shouting. When she doesn't I still have the feeling she does.

Can you sing yodeling?

schmenke
16th September 2014, 22:14
Never tried, and I don't think I want to :p: .


Have you every played or sang in a band?

gadjo_dilo
16th September 2014, 23:12
No. With my voice no band in this world would want me as a singer

When was the last time you had a blood analysis?

schmenke
16th September 2014, 23:19
A few months ago (April I think) as part of my annual checkup.

Do you donate blood? Does you country have a "national blood bank"?

(Two questions :p: )

gadjo_dilo
16th September 2014, 23:50
1. No.
2. That's the country of vampires, remember?:p
Our blood bank is almost empty. Only poor people donate blood for some bonus.

Would you donate your organs in case of clinical death?

Starter
17th September 2014, 01:46
Yes I'm sure some church or orchestra would love them. :D

Already have. It's an option on your driver's license here to be an organ donor.

When's the last time you had to seek medical help, other than for routine checkups.

anfield5
17th September 2014, 05:50
3 months ago. I started with a common flu virus that migrated to my heart and started interfering with the electrical impulses that make it work - scary stuff. On the plus side I have lost 25kg (55 ibs) in 3 months :)

do you worry about your health or do you have an "It'll all be alright" attitude?

gadjo_dilo
17th September 2014, 06:54
Generally I'm a healthy person and I'm not very concerned about health problems. Whenever I have a problem it takes a long time until I decide to go to a doctor. I did it yesterday and now I'm scared to death.

Do you have to offfer a ''material attention'' when you visit a doctor?

Starter
17th September 2014, 14:17
No.

What is a ''material attention''?

gadjo_dilo
17th September 2014, 14:33
Money, a package of coffee, a bottle of whiskey, chocolates, flowers, a bunch of bananas, etc.
Depending on the medical service, the doctor and the financial power of the patient..
I always do despite being a serious contributor to health funds.

Are you embarassed to go to a doctor?

schmenke
17th September 2014, 16:33
No.

Why would you be embarrassed to visit a doctor?

Storm
17th September 2014, 16:56
If you had a huge ego about being supremely healthy and fit etc...(not that I do..but I did pride myself in the past on not taking any meds unless I absolutely had to)

Is the cost of medicines too high where you are?

schmenke
17th September 2014, 17:11
I think so, but pretty much all of the prescription meds that our family buys is covered by either my or my wife’s company health insurance plans (for which we each pay a small annual cost).

Do you have to pay when you visit a doctor?
