Hello!

Thanks to Elżbieta Czoch (great surname) for these questions! All the way from Warszawa and she likes getting onto the back of a motorbike to get her out of that city fast I'm sure!

1. Why did join this group?

I was made to join it. Warren is to blame.
2. Do you have a pet?

Yeah, a five-year-old. Right, a pet, not a pest. A cat owns me.
3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?

Invest some, and but that country cottage. I need to get away from it all. The first thing I'd do would be get presents for my nearest and dearest.
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda
b) for women: Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, George Clooney

I don't understand the question; but if I was to choose someone I'd like to go out with, I'd go for Julia Roberts, if she had a smaller mouth.

5. Do you like trekking?


Sure. I've done extreme trekking too, carrying a kid on my shoulders up and down a few hills and mountains.

And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

The Jack O' is sitting on the balcony, we've drawn a few scary pictures, and are going to have a small party. If the party is fun, we might end up beheading the cat and sprinkling her blood all over my next door neighbor. Do watch the news tonight.

1. Why did join this group?

Because I am a snob

2. Do you have a pet?

no, once had a fish it died soon

3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?

spend it?
invest it somewhere smartly (employ somebody to do it) and move to Goa

4. Choose someone and justify your choice:

Malkovich...but, can I have Jeremy Irons please....
btw, I could go with Gary Oldman too

5. Do you like trekking?

no, but I like watching photos from trekking in Nepal. Nepal would be fine tough if someone carried me so i could just enjoy my tea (bhang) on whatever peak it might be

And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

Todays lesson for adults was horror movie (youtube) quiz. I was totally dissapointed because they didn't guess PSYCHO...I mean common...the shower scene? WTF is wrong with people

Steve Jones:
1. Why did join this group?

I like English and wanted to be able to communicate in it not only on a professional ground. But then I grew to love it as it is so witty, or rather people seem to be quite intelligent and wickedly witty and it's a great fun.

My star tip from this group so far is ''never eat a yellow snow'' which got me litterally rolling on the floor laughing. And basically you all pretty much make me laugh everyday. Keep on with a good work guys, please, it is so much appreciated :))

Love ya!
2. Do you have a pet?

Yep, two of them lovely creatures

3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?

Become a vet
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda
b) for women: Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, George Clooney

depends on what I was to choose them for...
5. Do you like trekking?

Not really, I think I would rather ride a bike, unless if it was going to be up a steep hill - then I would definitely prefer trekking :)
And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

I would love to. But I probably won't...

That was my best Halloween ever - I'm second to none, but here I'm second to the left :)

Hello!

Thanks to Elżbieta Czoch (great surname) for these questions! All the way from Warszawa and she likes getting onto the back of a motorbike to get her out of that city fast I'm sure!

1. Why did join this group?

Mainly 'cause it sucks to learn at least the basics of a given language and not use it everyday. Plus, after reading throughout the group posts, I've found most of them to be pretty interesting and/or clever.
2. Do you have a pet?

Yup, a wirehaired fox terrier, a gecko, a lobster and a shitload of fish. I'd say that the fish are the most intelligent of the whole bunch. Also, I'd consider eating the lobster, but I'm kinda afraid after feeding him with all the prepared food in pelleted form, God only knows what's in it. Still, after a few months, he's effin big!
3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?

Move myself to Santa Monica and live a life full of luxury... For a couple of months. Then I'd start preparing for inevitable death. You can't exactly win 10 MLN Euro without the criminal groups taking a sudden interest in your person.
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda
b) for women: Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, George Clooney

Kate Blanchett, for the cute smile. Also, this questions sucks some major balls for two reasons:
a) no Zooey Deschanel, she's instant win in my book <3
b) no Sean Connery, and as we all know - you're a fag, if you aren't gay for Sean!
5. Do you like trekking?

Love it.
And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

Nope. I like neither the US happy-time-now, nor the Polish national form of it. I absolutely loathe trips to the cemetery.

Szukran, Elzbieta.

1. Why did join this group?
I came for Warren but I STAYED for Ilter. :)
2. Do you have a pet?
No, but I once had a long-time girlfriend (about 2 weeks) who was a Playboy "Bunny," and in that thing. She used to laugh and call me Joey and slap me on the chest when she giggled at something funny, such as a fly. She wanted to be a "plastic surgeon." To "fix burned kids." ;)
3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?
Pay Steven H. 1,000,000 to let me ask him what to do with it.
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda
b) for women: Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, George Clooney
I want to go off the beaten track and choose in the B section. Sue me. John malevich 'cause he creeps me out.
5. Do you like trekking?
I love it.

And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

I'm packing for leaving again for Sunday. Someone is coming here to help hand out candy and have a talk.
EDIT: Just now I had a call, and it's tacos, and a bonfire.Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 31.10.08 o godzinie 00:49

1. Why did join this group?

Because I feel more comfortable expressing myself in English.
2. Do you have a pet?

A black cat named Guinness.
3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?

Travel, travel, travel...
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda

I'm sorry two of these people I can not stand and who is Kate Blanchet?

ok.. nevermind, looked her up... ehm... can I just go solo here?

5. Do you like trekking?

I love it... if I could live on the road... I would.

And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

Well... last year my friends and I did this awesome thing for the NYC Halloween parade ... and... well we got permanently banned from the NYC Halloween parade... we were too crazy for the craziest parade in the US. To quote a letter from the NYC parade approval commission "Every mother on 6th Ave. called and complained"... so ... I'm staying home.

1. Why did join this group?
To answer pet questions every week and thus develop my environmental conscience.
2. Do you have a pet?
No, but I've owned a C-64.

3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?
Nothing much different; buy a flat in Monaco perhaps.
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda
b) for women: Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, George Clooney
I would team up with Robert and Joj... ooops, I meant George... just to gangbang Doda. Then I would commence a romantic liaison with Kate Blanchet, but I'm sure it wouldn't be reciprocated.

That was an easy question. Events in my life usually follow this pattern.
5. Do you like trekking?
Star-trekking.
And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?
Clubbing, getting drunk, getting drunk again. Reading a book and watching all the films I haven't had time to watch.

People will surely leave Warsaw, so it's going to be a bit desolate. Many Varsavians are actually villagers from the remotest of shithole locations, so I don't expect Halloween to be socially attractive.Adam L. edytował(a) ten post dnia 31.10.08 o godzinie 07:00

Hello!

Thanks to Elżbieta Czoch (great surname) for these questions! All the way from Warszawa and she likes getting onto the back of a motorbike to get her out of that city fast I'm sure!

Hello, my name is Marta and I'm an Angloholic.
2. Do you have a pet?

A cat. We called her Shane but are still considering a legal change to Shame...
3. What would you do if you won 10 MLN Euro?

Buy 4000 pairs of Blahnik's and a pair of Choo's :D

Seriously? Start my own business without worrying to go down after two years. I still hope I'll do it, even without this cash. Wait for the word on the streets :-).
4. Choose someone and justify your choice:
a) for men: Julia Roberts, Kate Blanchet, Doda

Hate being categorised like this... I'd choose Cate Blanchett for 'Sleepover Bandits' and 'Notes on a Scandal.
5. Do you like trekking?

Yup. And climbing. And sliding down ropes off buildings and rocks.
And a bonus question from me, Steve:

6) Doing anything for Halloween?

Just the usual - light as a feather stiff as a board and then sacrificing a virgin on my way out.
