Not as much as I used to.
We don't have a bus service here
I've heard there is a school bus you can ride but I haven't tried it yet

Same q

Yes, it's the main form of public transport that I use. Occasionally take the tram. Trains too expensive.

Have you ever lost a large sum of money through gambling?

No but I lost my life savings to other people - identity theft, extortion, and scammers.

same q

Can't say that I have.

Have you ever won a decent/large amount of money through gambling?

(Isabella): I placed a bet of £500 on the Labour Party to win the 1992 General Election in the UK. They were regarded as near-certainties to do so at the time, but they messed things up in the final few days of the campaign and lost. That represented about 70% of my monthly salary at the time.

In 2008 I lost around £5000 by buying bank shares. I knew the banks were having problems, but thought they'd sort themselves out, then came the Lehman Bros crash....It took me the best part of a decade to recover the losses.

(Murihiku): I bought shares in Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust when they were at 450p, and sold them at around 1100p, making about £2500 in profit. That's a 'big win' for me, lol. Biggest win I had on pure 'gambling' was about £120 on a horse called King's Curate in a race at Sandown Park in 1990.


Have you experienced much price inflation yet?

Iv'e done a few scratchcards, most I ever won was £10. But I have relative who likes gambling. But it's a mild thing. William Hill. Horses. He's quite responsible in other areas.

Ouuch...That's messed up. Hopefully you recovered something. I mean legally prosecuted. I don't know what recourse you would have. I've never had enough money of any significance to be stolen.

I'm not into gambling. I never found machines appealing..and the like. In fact most of my life, I live a minimalist kind of lifestyle. I'm not materialist, like most people I Know. I don't have any debts what so ever, and never have.

Inflation - I don't pay attention...but the price of food is always going up.

Favorite flavour ice cream?

Rum & Raisin

Do you know how to do The Twist (dance)?

I don't know how to do that.

Same question.

No, I don't know how to do any dances.

Could you run a mile in ten minutes?

I think that I could run a mile in 11-12 minutes when I was in school.

How many push ups can you do?

Last time I tried (about a dozen years ago), four or five. Probably couldn't even manage that now - and I'm not going to try!

Do you, or did you, enjoy sitting examinations?

Is this a trick question?
The only examinations I enjoyed were art theory, as I usually got 100%.
Same q

No. I'd write five papers if I could instead of one exam.

Invigilating isn't much fun either.

You must have had a great Art teacher! ^
