I love travelling, especially road trips around New Zealand whenever we can. I must admit I have a bit of a fear of flying. I fly when I have to, but if there is a way out I would much rather travel by car or train. Last night I...

alextub I never heard about that one, thats terrible. The pilot has such a big responsibility but they are only human. I hate not having the control. Back in the late 80's I flew from Heathrow to Belgrade, that was an experience. The plane was packed full to the...

Why is it that we have become obsessed with reality shows so much? I guess it all started with talk shows, then Jerry!!!. I wonder a lot of times why it is that we are so interested in what other people are doing is because we...

alextub I agree entirely. People seem to be obsessed with them. The shows are just shows, they are not real life. Even the talk shows, why would you want the whole world to know about your life...are there really people out there like that or is it all pretence for...

There's been lot of moose wandering around in town this summer but I haven't met any of them. I haven't really seen moose, I've passed some while driving or riding but not very close up. Today when I drove home from the stable two...

alextub Haha, yes Keas can be pretty destructive, they have been known to tear the rubber from vehicles. If you walk into the bush or go hiking on any of the tracks here in NZ you would hear the tuis, they make a very distinctive gutteral sound at the end of their...

alextub Its great to hear there are animals in the wild you get to see in other parts of the world. In New Zealand here most of our wild animals are regarded as pests, like possums, rabbits, ferrets, all introduced to the country as population arrived here. Wild pigs,...

We have a cat, Baal, who is a persistant talker. The only time he doesn't seem to chat is when he is a sleep. If we talk, he talks, and I must admit, it does annoy me sometimes. It does sound funny, occasionally it sounds like he...

alextub Well done. I am envious. Its just too damp here right now to even bother touching the garden, need a few days of sunshine. We are just starting our spring here, September, so won't be long and I'll be out there growing a few things for the summer. Too wet in...

I am really just interested in knowing how much of what happens here in little New Zealand becomes news in other countries like USA or Germany etc. There was an earthquake in the South Island city of Christchurch 10 days ago, 7.1...

alextub A good listener listens to what is being told them by the other person truly. A lot of people like to be heard but don't actually listen to others. A listener also listens to what is going on around them, the sound of the birds, the sound of the breeze, the...

What is your favorite song of Loreena and why ? I prefer two songs of Loreena: 'The Old ways' and 'The highwayman'. The first one (on the album the Visit) is sad and remind me of my mother (deceased 10 years ago). The second...

alextub Dante's Prayer is my favourite and Night Ride Across the Caucasus, though I like most of her songs. I have Night Ride playing right now, it feels so relaxing, like I am on a horse gently galloping along a road in the darkness, moon shining, wind brushing...

alextub Dante's Prayer is my favourite, I well up whenever I hear it. I always think of my father who passed away 6 years ago. It is a beautiful song.

Do you still listen to the radio? I still do for news and to know what's happening for the moment. How about you, do you still listen to the radio and for what reasons?

alextub No, I very rarely listen to the radio. I tend to go for the television and newspaper to catch up on news, never the radio. My partner, is the opposite, he listens to the radio in the car all the time. He travels an hour to work and back and has the radio on...
