Yeah it's something I've thought about before

It's a numbers game really I suppose

Does that mean you struggle with reading and writing these days


I can read well enough. Self taught <4 years old. Writing has never been good = probable dysgraphia. Can't write fast without the quality deteriorating a lot.

Do start entering online contests, I'm sure you are going to find many of them on Facebook for example :D

Another random truth about myself: the most difficult thing for me ever in English is those... articles :? I do know the rules well but I often can't decide when I should use them and when I shouldn't :x

And another random truth on myself - I'm going to buy three PS 4 games and two books for that voucher - one of them is going to be a biography of Lincoln and another one will be the diary of some girl who lived in Grozny in the time of the Chechen wars.

Btw, Grozny is their equivalent of the Polish word groźny which means fearsome or menacing. The Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible is known in Poland as Iwan Groźny :D

Sometimes things happen to me and I wonder if it's ever really happened or if I've just imagined it all

It's nuts

I'm always a bit torn when I'm buying new running shoes

Whether I should go for the same ones as I've just worn out because obviously they've been tried and tested

Or do I go for a completely different brand and style

You see it's things like this that have me stumped

I always buy the same thing again if I can get it, unless I'm feeling starved of adventure. And I find life usually drags me into enough adventures all by itself. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know, and the devil is usually in most stuff that's for sale.

But the trouble is, I look after things and try to choose stuff that's built to last, so by the time something needs replacing, nobody sells it any more so I'm dragged into an unwanted adventure. Especially with computers. I think they're designed to stop my programs from working so that I'll buy new programs. Too many unwanted learning curves.

I too have a special spoon. A titanium camping spork. I've had it for about 15 years. :heart:

I've gambled once in my life, I just turned 18 and I wanted to celebrate in the casino. I met a nice old lady who told me that she lost 1k of her retirement pension that week to the slots. After that I swore off gambling.

To be fair though I would like to be a chimp
Or one of them other monkeys because they have so much fun
And I think they have good eyesight because when I went to the zoo a monkey saw a leaf from the other side of the thing and it came running right over and he got it to chew on

And they're really good at climbing as well and I'd like a tail

So that's why I'd like to be a monkey

I once told my mother I could eat 50 Scotch pancakes. So she made 50 Scotch pancakes. I ate 35 before admitting defeat.
