This started in another thread to prove who is or isn't in Zagreb, kinda stupid really but some people seem to care.
I thought it could be fun to start a quiz on here, I've always fancied being a quiz show host!!
Anyone who gets 3 questions correct can win a free juggling lesson from me(if you're interested) Juggling will use parts of your mind that have never been used before, it will improve your periferal vision, depth perception, general motor skills, and help with problem solving.
Here's the questions I've already asked, and I'll think of more to come.
1. On the main square there is a building that's under renovation and has been covered up with a billboard for a long time. What image is on the billboard and what does it advertise?
2.within sight from the main square there is a large glass office building.(better viewed from the upper town)What is the significant thing about this building ?
3.On the flower square there is a Beneton store on a corner. What temporary thing has been on the opposite corner for several months now?
4.from the big gold ball there is a lane that leads up to Ilica. What is in this lane at the moment?
5. For the duration of the month of june 2004, there was something on top of the clock on the main square. What was it?
good luck people

Told you EMIZerable does not live in Zagreb! number 1, I think you are wrong about it being olympus, is'nt it NOKIA. I thought it was Nokia. Also on number 5. They had a banner/flag up there advertizing something for a while, I can't remember what the product was though! |

Franchise, good to see you do have a sense of humour after all.
Fresh air, it's definately Olympus. I'm talking about the building on the nama corner, the billboard has been covering it for almost a year now.
Emiz, they are discussing who you really are and where you really are. They do it in the hall so everyone will soon start to ask the same questions.
Here's another question,
On the corner of Ilica and Gunduliceva there has been an empty shop for at least a year now. The whole shop front is covered in an advertisement featuring womens faces, one of which is Australian actress Natalie Imbruglia. What company doe it advertise?

u2---a serious question for you now...everybody has said you're lieing yet your carry on, have you no shame? I even gave you 90% of my Ip address…a Zagreb ip address..when cuz shows his little board it shows I am using t-com
One more question why do you post at 5am Croatian time?? lies lies lies.
Yet you will continue because you really convince yourself somebody will believe you if you say it, you’re a very strange person.
You started off as a man in oz with a business then suddenly you were a woman in Zagreb, and then a woman in Zagreb who is related to u2, shhh, I gave up on you a long time ago.
I find it impossible to believe your command of English is at exactly same level as u2's you use the same words make the same grammar mistakes and say hahaha a lot.
You speak English like an uneducated native.........come on u2...time to get some new beads for your trailer.
Gavin I have a question for you..if you travel to king cross going passed the intersection for mecartone and then onto the highway which if you stay on takes you to krapina, what is in the middle of the slip lane, I pass that everyday I go to the main square about once every two months..so that is easier for me...answers on a postcard.
If you don’t know the answer you must be sharing u2’s trailer in San Jose ;D

Hmmm, now this is getting interesting.
Neither fresh air or emiz managed to answer any of the questions.
Emiz, I'm sure you said that you lived 3 km from the centre and worked near Importane Galerija. If so, what possible reason would you have to travel the route that you mentioned everyday? You only go to the main square once in 2 months, and yet you work 500m from it ? Humour me here because i watched a Sherlock Holmes film yesterday, as I fancy myself as an ametuer detective as well as quiz master.
You point out the spelling and grammatical errors in fresh airs posts, and yet i notice a lot in yours also. Very strange considering you went to one of the top Business schools in England. (yeah yeah, the education system there is not what it once was)
It's all just idol entertainment for me, and I must say I'm quite enjoying it.
In reference to your question. From where I live there is no Mercatone centre on the way to King Cross. I just go straight down Ilica which eventually changes name to Aleja Bolonje, then at some point I take a left turn under the railway and just follow the road a few more kms and before you know it I'm at King Cross. Otherwise i would go off Ilica down selska and on to Ljubijanska which is then kind of a highway down to the exit by king cross. So, I doubt I have ever traveled the route you refer to.
If I get really really bored I'll drive out that way and check it out, but for now I'll suss out the area around Importane and come up with some questions about that.

I go to the main square once every two months because there is nothing to see there. The shops in the centre of Zagreb are terrible.
The only time I go there is to buy a Sunday English newspaper which costs about 6 pounds and is three days late.
Gavin you're jumping to conclusions as to where my final destination is, stick to throwing your balls.
You don't now the answer you don't live in Zagreb blah blah.
The funny part is who the hell would claim they live in Zagreb if they don’t? It’s a dingy dirty ugly old city.
Ahh Yes u2 would, she has her reasons; I belittled her opinions of Croatian in the past as she has never lived here.
The same still applies.
Until you have lived and worked in Croatia, and I mean real work, you do not understand this country.

Hadn't gotten to the conclusions yet, just having a bit of fun is all.
Exactly what is 'real work'?
I worked on a construction site on Krk, is that real work?
Is it the work that turns people into cranky complaining bitter people? Definately not for me if that's the case.
Throwing balls is certainly better than throwing insults, although i prefer fire and knives myself.
and now, back to the quiz at hand.
What's the name of the ice cream shop not far from the flower square that has recently closed and is being taken over by an adjoining business?
The branches of which tree were being carried around by many people today(sunday)?
