Good beer and red wine for me almost exclusively. Drinks only occassionally (as in once every 3-4 months), mainly enjoy gin&tonic (50/50) or mojito (bacardi, water, sugar, mint leaves, lime. I don't ever make them though, I'm way too lazy for that. I have barterders do the job for me.
2. What car you'd like to be and why?
Bad-ass american muscle car Mustang Shelby! *
3. What is the sense of your life? Your purpose in the world?
Oh boy... eat, sleep, and the other thing. Seriously though, check back with me in 50 years, I may be able to give you an asnwer then.
4. The best pickup line you've ever used / or heard.
How'r YOU doin'?
5. What was the most joyful moment in your life?
I don't have kids so can't buy my way out of answering this by saying: when my kid was born.
Being married I should say: the day we got married, but that's just plain lame. Besides I was way too dizzy with everything that was going on that day to remember it as the most joyful day of my life.
I don't remember one particular day, m oment, or event. I guess my life is so joyful, all those moments just blend together.

* The real answer is a nice, comfy and safe family car, like Volvo station wagon for example, but keep it to yourselves, will ya?

< 1. Give us the recipe for your favourite drink. With alcohol of course!

A) Must be distilled at a Scottish distillery from water and malted barley, to which only other whole grains may be added, have been processed at that distillery into a mash, converted to a fermentable substrate only by endogenous enzyme systems, and fermented only by the addition of yeast,
B) Must be distilled to an alcoholic strength of less than 94.8%[3] by volume so that it retains the flavour of the raw materials used in its production,
C) Must be matured in Scotland in oak casks for no less than three years and a day,
C) Must not contain any added substance other than water and caramel colouring, and
D) May not be bottled at less than 40% alcohol by volume.

That's what tigers like at most ;-)

ElenorShelby- Old Mustangs never die, they just get continued - as Shelbys!!!

< 3. What is the sense of your life? Your purpose in the world?

Just to live having a sense of shame, as it's one step close to courage and to give more than take!!! It might be too ambiguous, what I mean is that I would like to give to the other people as much of me, as the very act of giving is more joyful than only taking.

< 4. The best pickup line you've ever used / or heard.

I haven't used any sience 6 years, but I neither have any best pickup line but I heard about one which might be pretty effective ;-) :"Do you believe that you may fall in love right after you have just seen someone, or do I have to pass by you once again?" hehehe

< 5. What was the most joyful moment in your life?

Someone may think that I am some abnormal male, but I don't give a damn!!
The most joyful moment or even a whole day of my life, as it's gone so fast, was the day of my marriage.

Dark rum (Mayers, Lamb or Cpt Morgan) , coke, lemon, ice
Simple yet the best so far.

For those in London you must try some of the drinks at 'Below Zero' at Hoddon Street one off Regent Street. My fav is Passion mojito.

2. What car you'd like to be and why?

Papa Mobile - nice milage, people take care of, smooth ride, You will not and up in a scrapyard.
3. What is the sense of your life? Your purpose in the world?

I don't have one. I don't give a shit.

It's quite refreshing and I learned to drink it in Spain. I usually get any semi-dry wine, doesn't need to be top quality, but decent (Bulgarian Sophias are fine). I know it sounds blasphemous, but is really good for a quick and refreshing cocktail.

It does not sound bad... in Spain they call that Sangria and add oranges as well. It is absolutely great drink indeed.

I'm sorry, Tomasz. Sangria is something else. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
Tinto de Verano is lighter, and can be made wit drier wines; Sangria calls for real fruit juice and fruit pieces, as well as sweet red wines. You could also have a white wine tisana.

Sorry, I did not the difference.
