Thx Ania.

Bad boy. Where's the fish?
1.What's your hobby? Can you be faithful to it despite your daily duties?

Reading, mainly. Yes.
2.Have you ever won any competition?

Yes. I recently won the irritate-Warren-award. My first price since I won a kiddie-competition in the village of my grand-parents.
3.Why do people order cola light along with double cheesburgers and big portion of fries?

So that the food-tray is not too heavy for them ;)
4. What's the point of imported mineral water?

It tastes different and looks cool if you speak your native language while spicying it up with loads of English vocabulary. Comes in handy while wearing sunglasses in a night club too.
5. What's your life motto, if you have any?

Joke today, die tomorrow.

:)
1.What's your hobby?
I make some things by painting and drawing. Astronomy. I'm an amateur athlete. I very much enjoy going with my brothers into some places to identify insects, wild plants, and to look for birds we haven't seen before. I grow things. Fishing, swimming, and I race jet-skis in a some long races. Other water/wave things, snowboarding, and I participate in a number of so-called extreme sports. The amounts of time I spend on each is variable.
2.Have you ever won any competition?
Athletic competitions...and oh yeah. In the field of science for when I domesticated fire. hehe :)
3.Why do people order cola light along with double cheesburgers
I don't know but...I suppose they adjusted to it in earlier calorie reducing efforts, and subsequently developed a taste for it.
4. What's the point of imported mineral water?
It depends on your port. Let's ask the residents of Mamfe, Cameroon or other places in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. :)
5. What's your life motto, if you have any?
I can't say I do currently have one.Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 11.09.09 o godzinie 05:25

:) Thanks

1.What's your hobby? Can you be faithful to it despite your daily duties?
I have got several hobbies and they are all kind of related to things I do. I like researching intercultural and international relations and I study this subject in the university, being a journalist in parallel.

I love birdwatching and hiking and sightseeing in cultural heritage. Natural science is my other major and a hobby. I pity that there is not a lot of media interest in these issues, but nevertheless I keep on track. Whenever I hit the mountains or lakes I look at them as a subject of the study, not just a leisure activity.

Yeah...a photography. Great passion of mine and a skill useful in everything I do.
2.Have you ever won any competition?
Yes, I was 19 when I went to one of National Trust/ Cambridge Field Study Centers for reward in ecology competition.
3.Why do people order cola light along with double cheesburgers
and big portion of fries?
Because of the taste.
4. What's the point of imported mineral water?
No idea, Poland does not import any of that.
5. What's your life motto, if you have any?
"Get a job you love and you never work a day in your life".

Why? Isn't good? :/

1.What's your hobby? Can you be faithful to it despite your daily duties?
I'll be totally predictable - guitar: playing, composing... I'm 100% committed and manage to find my way around everyday problems/duties to be able to play.
2.Have you ever won any competition?
I have won a few, last one a couple of years ago.
3.Why do people order cola light along with double cheesburgers and big portion of fries?
Cos they want to delude themselves. It's like watching sports on TV munching on chips (crisps) and drinking beer.
4. What's the point of imported mineral water?
The same as that of importing potatoes to PL or sand to Saudi Arabia.
5. What's your life motto, if you have any?
Can't think of any atm. "Do no harm" sounds about right to me though.

There you got me :) I saw plenty of imported ones in NL, where they mostly come from SPA in Belgium, but not in PL before.

Yet I remember some party where there was a Perriere ( tastes like Mazowaszanka of old times) and it was imported. But I never could find that in regular shop :)

1.What's your hobby? Can you be faithful to it despite your daily duties?

Music and reading. I collect vinyl and read way too much. I still find time to browse what's available in vinyl releases and commuting to see my students allows me to read daily ... quite a bit actually.
2.Have you ever won any competition?

Dummy of the year award.
3.Why do people order cola light along with double cheesburgers and big portion of fries?

It's sort of a ying and yang type o' deal... in this case one ying does NOT equal the other... but life's a bitch.
4. What's the point of imported mineral water?

What's the point of an oxygen bar?
5. What's your life motto, if you have any?
