Donney

Were Christmas good to you?
Alexamateo
12th January 2010, 20:31
It was the best Christmas ever. We spent it in Mexico and it was non-stop posadas, Christmas itself, baptisms, weddings, my daughter's birthday, topped off by New Year's Day. The only downside was the 6.5 hours it took to get back across the border to come back home.

52Paddy
5th February 2010, 13:03
Physics is one of my worst areas. But I guess it's that gravity has a force of 9.8 something and "what goes up must come down..." - short answer: No I can't.
Do you like the sound of the bagpipes? :angel:
schmenke

What was the greatest April Fools joke you played or fell for?
Alexamateo
3rd March 2010, 15:53
It wasn't really April Fool's, but in Spanish speaking countries, similar pranks are played on Dia de los Inocentes (Day of the Innocents) which is December 28. I was recently married and spending the Christmas holidays in Mexico with my wife's family, when I read in the newspaper that then President Bush was fishing for trout in Chihuahua, Mexico. I was going to my relatives saying, "Look!" They just laughed and laughed. For me it was believable, Bush had a place in west Texas, which wasn't so far away and liked the outdoors. I figured it out when I read some other articles talking about Madonna and Jennifer Lopez spotted partying together in a bar in downtown Chihuahua City.
So, Have you ever bumped into anyone really famous before?
52Paddy
3rd March 2010, 16:14
'bumped into' I take to mean 'by chance.' If so, then I guess the height of it would be Tony MacMahon who is one of Ireland's best known accordion players. I was at a gig in Dublin and he happened to be there, having a pint and enjoying the music. I got talking to him but had to leave way earlier than I would have liked :( - check him out on Youtube: a controversial character but amazing musician.
Have you ever entered a race or rally?
MrJan
3rd March 2010, 16:34
Me and my Dad run in car in a few sprints each year. It'd great as allows me to drive a car to the edge in a way that I wouldn't dare on the road. It's weird because I'm used to driving within my limits (around 70-80%) but sprinting means I have to push to 100%....and sometimes beyond :D
Do you like cheese? I love cheese me.
52Paddy
6th March 2010, 00:02

NoahsGirl
12th March 2010, 13:30

What is your favourite American TV show that's not a cartoon or animation?
MrJan
12th March 2010, 13:48
Probably Breaking Bad. I think that FiveUS picked it up at some point but it really should be given some mainstream exposure. The 3rd season starts this month and in once of the trailers there is a quote which says "TV as God intended". I couldn't agree more. Find it on the internet and watch the pilot, now.

MrJan
12th March 2010, 16:41

NoahsGirl
15th March 2010, 14:02
It was end of February, had 1 and half days off work.
What is the daftest injury you have ever given yourself?
52Paddy
17th March 2010, 15:44
I guess it would have been a gash in my head which was a few inches deep. It happened in daft circumstances. When I was working as a pushbike courier in Dublin last year, a pedestrian stepped out onto the road as I was speeding up the street. I hit her, went over the handlebars and, typically, hit my head of the very corner of a kerb. Of all the places I could have landed :mark:
