My favorite color is all bright and shiny happy colors
My favorite food = Indian/Sri lankan curry s
My favorite holiday is out camping doing almost nothing in front of our holtkamper flyer ( www.holtkamper.nl )
My favorite car I have ever owned is one with mixed feelings as I was only 18 when I bought an old 2CV here and I was ever so happy with it but on the other hand I have felt in love with our A2 as well.
The favorite car I have driven was the 2003 A8 Audi which they let me try here at the Audi dealer pitty it is almost as expensive as my house ;).
The favorite present I have ever had was a yoyo given to me from our adopted son who is 11 he knows I collect yoyo s and gave me from his 2€ pocket money a 1€ present when he saw one he knew I did not had it was not the yoyo who made me cry than but just the thought behind it.
The best day of my life are all the day s that I wake up healthy and feeling happy.[8D]
My favorite films are the back to the future ones and the blues brothers.
My favorite kind of music is the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg or wish you were here from Pink Floyd even though I am more a pop man I love the melody in that classical piece of music
To be honest I realy like this topic My favo hobby are yoyo s *(collecting and tricks jogging and listning to music on my other hobby High end audio equipement
Btw I also love computers and computer related stuff.

Hope we get more people writing their thing here

Car I've driven: Chevrolet Camaro - quite entertaining in its own way - spoilt by an auto gearbox. Unbelievably easy to ground - but then I should have known better than to try and drive it over a lava flow [:I] That said, the A2 still makes me smile every day - except when thinking about my duff CD changer...

Isn't it amazing how many of us have listed 'take away' food? Good on JohnW for the healthy option!

:D Ah, but then I'm addicted to (rather healthier) kebabs from Greek tavernas - not the usual post <s>p1ss-up</s> booze-up fare that those of us in the UK occasionally inflict on ourselves...

Mmm, I must admit that generally my favourites are:

Chinese
Indian
Thai
Mexican

but I am getting very selective in my old age about exactly where I get them from. Delicate flavour rather than heat is harder to find, but I think I'm getting addicted to the Mini Nan bread from Tesco's as well!

The whole Indian food experience from Tesco is amazing.

Ah, Tesco's-who remembers JD's Tesco fetish?.

I seem to remember joining mid-fetish and have shopped at Tesco's for years now, but I'm being 'courted' by Sainsburys at present. Is it just my local Tesco, or are they starting to go a little 'kwik save' on us, pile it high and mainly sell the volume goods, stock management is appalling at ours. The organic section has certainly been trimmed down and this is a very large store. The Sainsburys has less floor space, yet I always feel like I have more choice. Hey ho, time to defect perhaps as I'm starting to buy more and more from there when I find Tesco don't have it.

Rob-ah, old computers!. Mine was an Oric (not the Atmos, but the basic Oric with hard, tiny keys). When my mum found out you HAD to have the tape recorder volume up whilst loading she took it straight back to Laskys (whatever happened to Laskys?) and got me a Commodore 64....

Those were the days....

Commodore 64, now that takes me back. Our next door neighbour had the Sinclair stuff and I have the Commodore stuff, first was a Vic20 and then the C64, those old tape drives were something else weren't they.

Wasn´t it "Load 1,8,15...."...:-) or was that for Floppy drives?
(I never had a C64, I always wanted a C128D, but then my Dad bought an Atari 520ST... much to my dismay. On hindsight I am very grateful that he did..:-)

Good move. When I think about it, the old Vic20 started my long descent into my IT related job I'm in now. From such small beginnings...

I´m in IT, too... but from the Atari I got into desktop publishing and so learned the art of typography as a job... and only then I got into IT (if you count taking care of 120 Macs and a couple of Solaris Boxes IT..:-)

Talking of favourites, my favourite computer game as a kid was Elite on my Commodore 64. Line drawings and dots I know, but it was great fun!

The C64 had the 1512 datasette (I think!). A very nice purpose bult cassette loader. Or was the 1512 the 5 1/2 inch floppy...no think that was the 1540. Ah those were the days. Remember the first time I bought a mouse and some bespoke GUI software-I thought it was the best!.

I had a modem too that plugged in the cartridge port and connected to the Commodore bulletin board. I remember the first telephone bill my mum got.....boy was she mad!.

And a Quickshot II joystick to play HovverBovver, Powerdroid, PitStop II......and then I went and got an Amiga A500 (then A1200)....then into the world of PC......
