Hi everyone.
Thanks Airshifter for the nice words. How did you remember me as aki13? I didn't think anyone would take that much notice.

Are you good at Mathematics generally?
I studied a lot of maths both in high school and then at uni because the profile was IT. When I started to work I followed other career and in time I forgot everything. Whenever I'm thinking why I had to waste so much time on it I remember a guy who said that maths develops your logic. And he was right.
They said on TV that this full moon induce suicidal thoughts. Do you think it has an influence on our psychic?
No I do not. I feel OK and not suicidal at all. Thats just a personal view though.
Who do you think will win this years Champions League?
LIVERPOOL!!!!!! Second choice is any one other than The Spanish cash cheats, but that is a hope rather than who my head would choose :(
I was talking to a friend at the weekend and we got to talking about the obscene amount of money people get paid for chasing a plastic orb around a field, or driving around in little circles or going on tv an pretending to be someone else!
My question is are these people overpaid for entertaining the world, and what professions should be paid more for what they do?
Not only that they're overpaid but most of them can't even entertain me. As for other categories I don't know how people are paid in your countries. In my country all of us have low salaries except for those who work in banks or assurance.
What would you like to change about you?
Well... my health has been a wee bit worse than it should be, so getting fit and strong again would be nice. My best friend/ girl friend is no longer speaking to me for reasons I can't fathom (she just decided one day to stop talking etc - bloody women) so figuring that out would be good too.
Do you like to cook and are you a good cook?
Oh no,.......Not this embarassing Q again.......The answer is NO and NO
:angryfire:
Are you a good friend?
:angryfire: Men do the same thing. Most of the time for other woman. :sQuote:

Selfless or selfish?
Both, at different times.
If one of the forumers hit the lottery and was willing to send everyone the airfare to come meet for a visit would you go or would you stay home and be mysterious?
I'd play the mysterious girl role of course. If I really want to meet a former I have enough money to travel anyway.
Do you use to play the lottery?
No. Neither will I start now.
Do you gamble online or have you been to casinos?
(btw I just spent 5 mins reading steve and gadjo have all the fun over the weekend :cheese: I was busy doing household chores, picking up people at airports, visiting my sister and chasing Storm Jr :dozey: )
:laugh:Quote:

How good are the weather forecasts you get on TV? Do they give lots of detail and is it accurate.
I also had to do household chores but Steve kept me stuck on the tablet and I did nothing. Even when I went to the kitchen or bath I took the phone with me.:p Otherwise I would have loved to have your activities instead of staying home alone with a sick person that needs caring.Quote:

Can't forget how on a holiday her mother insisted to play dice (yamms) on money with a young couple who didn't know the game and took them the last money. :p
Do you do sporting bets?
Oops....:stareup:
Wrong question Gadjo :D
Ok, I will do the weather bit...
forecasts are crap on tv, well atl east the monsoon season they often tend to get things totally wrong - well it is very complex and unpredictable but still...for summer or winter, forecasts do not play a huge role in most of the peninsular parts as it is fairly standard weather with no rain (up north near the Himalaya t is different with fog/snow etc in winter)
Which tv show do you see regularly or like to see re-runs even?
I like a show called Cronica carcotasilor ( The grumpies chronicle ) a weekly show based on the funny facts that were ( involuntarly ) on TV channels on previous week. The presenters are very funny and I used to send them messages when I noticed something memorable. I also like a show called Banciu's World. The guy remembers me one of my brother's friends who was also a dear friend of mine. Also his memories of the past and even parts of his vocabulary are on the same wave with me. Otherwise the guy is hated by many people and I also can't stand his political orientation. But every night I fall asleep on his show. Or as I say, last night I slept again with Radu Banciu.:p
Do you do sporting bets? .
Not generally. As I said, the only time I have really bet on sport was greyhound racing and I didn't really like that, it was just a group activity
Have you ever had/do you own a pet? If so what was/is his/her name?
I hadn't cos I'm an idiot who can't take care even of myself leave alone another soul. But I always was fond of my neighbours pets, esp. the cats. I'm afraid I'd become old as "the lady with the cats" :s
Did/do you have a weird hobby?
Well I visit steam railways with my father at times. He engineers live model steam engines, which we also drive.
So I guess to you, thats quite strange.
Why do job interviews these days feature lots of silly questions which bare little relevance to real life? :( (I dont think I did well at my interview today)
I've never been to a job interview so I don't know. When I got this job I had to pass an examination. I've spent a few weeks in libraries trying to find legislation and trying to understand things that sounded like ancient Chinese to me. All who were hired after me escaped with the so called interview. I think I've told you how we're hired these days.
Are you a jealous guy?
PS You're doing very well at this thread's interviews. Mark should offer you a job here for your efforts to keep alive the forum.
I don't think so. I understand people talk and interact with other people, and jealousy is a damaging emotion.
Different sort of question...
Can you explain how this happened?

At a guess I would think the poor moo got caught in a flood and drowned. When the flood subsided the bloated body got trapped in a tree.
Alternatively, they were testing a catapult for a film.
I've been laying concrete paving slabs today. Do you enjoy DIY?
Carried by a flood? :confused:
Do you like cakes?
Again too late :angryfire:
But I gave the same answer.
I would have liked the DIY thing but I have two left hands. :s
So, do you like cakes?
I like eating them but not making them!
What's your favourite type of cake?
I'm sure we all missed a "Pigs might fly" joke here!Quote:

If baked at home I like those with forest fruits.
If bought then the ones with cream.
At this moment I'd eat any cake. :s
Do you like to climb the mountains?
I thought of it but I feared you'd send me again to the oculist.Quote:

I do..or atleast I have climbed in the past - a few smallish mountains/hills close to where I am - but not for the last couple of years. I do dream of climbing something substantial in the future (maybe the smallest mountain in the Himalaya :erm: )
What do you think you must do in the rest of your life which you haven't done yet?
Cook.:p
Do you sweat much?
(Stupid Q but it's unbearable hot here)
Because the "professional" HR people are convinced that your answers show in detail the kind of person and employee you would be. It's all very scientific of course. Me, I say its BS.
What would you like to do for a living? (My dream part time job is to assist Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Carlos Slim count their money.)
Work is over-rated and I have been doing it for a long time now, so I would like to sit on a beach in St Lucia for a living. If any one knows where I can apply for the job pm me :)
Are you happier going to work, or going home after work?
I think a question got missed further up.
Anfield: I love doing things with free time and playing football with my friends. So definitely the latter. Work is only for money to live in my case. Not a love.
Gadjo: Sorry to gross you all out, but I am a very sweaty person. I can sweat just sitting in a hot room, no exercise required.
Do you know the order of the planets without looking online or in a book? It seems amazing how many people in the UK do not. However the Brits as a whole can be quite arrogant about learning such things
Yes - prove me wrong :)....
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and poor little Pluto who is so unloved he is not a planet anymore.
What is the single biggest discovery (not invention) made by humanity?
sounds like another thing we have in common and not a pretty one either :dozey:Quote:

IMO finding out that the Sun and not the Earth was at the centre of the known universe (still wrong) was a huge thing (thanks to Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler et al) which changed how seriously science and especially astronomy was taken. Basically kick started the modern scientific era.
Do you read science books or any other non fiction books?
No. I'm too dumb to read any kind of book. In the past loved to read books about the mysterious places on earth, about possible life on other planets and stuff like that. Now I've become a total insensitive idiot. That's how our country wants us to be.
Will you watch the Perseids meteor shower tonight?
No, its raining here today and we won't be able to see it.
Do you prefer to sleep on your back, face or side?
Side ( and dreaming of cuddling somebody :angel: )
Do you wear pyjamas?
Um, no :erm: :andrea: :colour:
Do you need to sleep under thick covers, even when it's hot?
