Re: What's your favorite sport?
For me, it depends on whether I'm watching or doing the sport. If I'm participating in it, I really love skiing and swimming. It's a solitary sport that doesn't have me rely on teammates. There's also no sound to be mindful of. I love to just lose myself while I swim laps or go down the hill. As for...

The Eurovision Song Contest, often known simply as Eurovision or by its initialism ESC, is an international (though mostly European) song competition organised annually by the European Broadcasting...

Re: Card Games
I play (gin) rummy and Hearts the most. Rummy's my favourite card game, I think, especially since it was my grandparents that taught me how to play. Hearts is simpler to teach and play, which I mostly do when I need a little breather, but can't compute strategy (card counting). During one of my firs...

Re: Holidays? Where to go?
It very depends much on the length of the vacation, not so much on the season. Generally, I love to go somewhere warm, either in the Mediterranean or somewhere tropical. If the vacation only lasts a couple of days, my usual stop is any of my country's spa resorts. For longer, I've been to France, Sp...

Re: Coffee Shop Orders
Espresso Romano. :wub: It's basically just an espresso served with a slice of lemon. Then you squeeze the lemon into the coffee. Some people add a teaspoon of sugar, but that's not to my taste. Despite its simplicity, there are a lot of variations of it, from dropping the whole slice into the espres...

Re: The Whole Nine Yards - Week 4 - Stevenson
#1 – During his life, in September 1876, Stevenson traveled to Grez-sur-Loing, a tiny place in France, to meet with his cousin. Unexpectedly, it was at this location that Stevenson met the married American Fanny Osbourne and her two kids, Lloyd and Belle. Stevenson was twenty-five years old, and Fan...

Re: Which Wizarding World Food Would You Most Like to Try?
I'm really curious about any candy that has some kind of animal imitation spell cast on it. When I'd read the books, I thought the chocolate frog was just chocolate shaped like a frog. I didn't think it was supposed to be 'alive'. It would be curious to see how it behaved while about to be eaten. In...

Re: What would your magical career be?
I think I'd be a photographer for a wizarding newspaper or some other graphic-making career. Maybe a person who does marketing for stores and those eye-popping advertisements. I think I'd be great as a taster for any food-related new inventions from Honeydukes or other magical confectionaries. I thi...

Re: Favourite Shop/Supermarket
I try to avoid shopping as much as possible, I don't really like crowds. The three stores that I usually go to are Lidl, K-Market, and S-Market. I've got a whiteboard where I write the items that I need and where they can be got for the cheapest. While that might be tiring, to go to three stores jus...

Re: The Whole Nine Yards - Week 3 - Steinbeck
#1 – I'm quite surprised to see that Steinbeck wasn't just a novelist or rather, a writer of fictional novellas. Following the quite successful publication of The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck traveled to Mexico with freelance biologist Edward F. Ricketts to gather marine species, and the two men worke...

Re: What to Watch....?
I might be biased because I'm so happy with the representation, but I do recommend anyone who can watch Marvel's Echo. It's shorter than any other series, with only 5 episodes, but I think that counts as a positive because it doesn't seem bloated. Its action is very well choreographed and I love tha...

Re: Savories instead of dessert after the main course? Yay or nay?
I'm going to go with 'nay', here. As many said previously, that's just another part of the main course for me. I can't imagine the whole thing being savoury and then 'finishing' it with something savoury too. Granted, I don't always eat dessert as a finisher, but it's nice to eat something sweet to ...

Re: How do you unwind or relieve stress?
I've got two primary ways to relieve stress. I love to play video games, so some of my mental stress goes away with that. But when I want to physically relieve stress as well, I usually do woodworking, which is one of my passions! I also like to cook and bake, but I usually save that for when I'm st...
