[QUOTE="pete lashmar, post: 244451, member: 606"] Hi [USER=21]@Barbara Fan[/USER], thank you for your questions. I am much more of a night owl, when I work it's usually until 4am. Before I lived overseas I worked as the Stage Door Keeper at Phantom Of The Opera in London, and again always finished work late and then headed to the bars and clubs. I do love mornings too, but definitely more a night owl. I drink much more coffee than tea, I find tea is nice in the afternoon, but always have coffee in the morning and also when I'm at work. I'm not really a sports fan to be honest. When I lived in East London (Walthamstow) we used to go to Highbury to watch Arsenal most Saturdays, but when it became all seater and the prices shot through the roof we just couldn't afford it and the fun went out of it for us without the terraces. I also don't watch sport on TV, I watch football matches in the bar when I'm working and enjoy the big competitions but wouldn't choose to watch. I do however like a bit of heavyweight boxing and have been known to scream the bar down with "F***ing hit him!" - which always seems to go down well with the staff as I am so not an aggressive person in any way shape or form. Top 5 cities - top of the list has to be London, it was my playground for more than 30 years and I absolutely adore it. Amsterdam was somewehere I visited regularly when I worked in Holland when I was 18, it was just so different and vibrant and I loved the culture. I am a huge fan of Germany, so Munich & Cologne are very high up on the list. I'm not sure what it is about Germany I love, it just has something that nowhere else does. Finally I would say Madrid - but never ever in the summer, it kills you with heat! Concerts - best concert was probably Michael Jackson's Bad tour, which I saw at Wembley - just an incredible performance from a man at the very top of his game. I have also seen Neil Diamond a few times and think he is amazing live. Worst one I've seen - probably and sadly Blondie. I'm a huge fan and Debbie Harry got boo'd off stage because she was "on" something and couldn't sing a note. I've always wanted to see Olivia Newton John live but never had the opportunity, and I would have done anything to see Queen Live (with Freddie). I did meet him years ago when I worked at The London palladium and tore his ticket. I also worked backstage at his tribute concert, but would have loved to have seen him with Queen live. Lisbon is a very popular city, but I prefer Porto, it's far less touristic and therefore natural and has a great feel about it with great people. As I don't drive I don't get to do the cities much, but from The Algarve I would say Savile - I know it's in Spain but it's only 2 hours away and I adore everything about it. [/QUOTE]
