    See if you can work out this:

    I went up the apple and pears to answer the dog and bone. It was all about some dosh I was owed, I think it was a Pony for cash. I shouted can you Adam and Eve it, I am owed some much money. In fact I shouted until the old Hobson's choice was sore. But it was the Mae West when I recieved my rock of ages.
    I went upstairs to answer the phone. It was about a sum of money I was owed, it was some 25 pounds. I shouted, can you believe it, I was owed more money and shouted until I had no choive

    . But it was.......

    ^^ like I said earlier, I watched all sorts of stupid sports on tv, so perhaps I am not the best one to answer..
    still, there are plenty of stupid sports in Olympics where you even get medals..that thing where people brush the surface or something so that the puck thing stops/moves - curling is it?

    Or squash, it might be good as a game to play but it's silly on tv...oh wait, Chess !


    What did you have for dinner last night?

    Bravo Gadjo...... pretty much spot on. You must know your cockney rhyming slang.

    A right old mix. I had lots of bits and pieces that needed eating so, cooked them all. Sweetcorn on the cob, eggs, flat breads, veg.

    Crazy meal.

    Is there local slang in your area, that others can't easily understand?

    I don't have a good understanding of the word "slang".
    We have a few different speeches here, related to the geographic areas, but we can understand each other. Then there's an argotic language but it's spread allover the country.

    What's the last fruit you've eaten?
    (Another stupid question. Came to my mind because I'm eating some peaches. )

    Yes, 61% said so (I'm guessing odykas too!)

    Do you invest in the stock market or any other financial thingie?

    No. Our economy is too fragile.
    But since under the communists we all were owners, all of us were given a sum to be invested in stocks of different companies ( not very flourishing of course ). I was too lazy ( meant to say stupid) to think about companies so I chose an investment fund for my money. Unlike my coworkers who invested in companies I even took some dividends. Not much but enough for a few beers.
    I don't even know their value on stock market anymore.

    Do you have saved money in a bank? ( take care, the next Q will be how much )

    I have saved some, but with my current "scene", that isn't much. Most of the money I saved was invested in some mutual funds (equity type) and now I think is the time to remove it while the stock markets here are on a high and put that in the bank or in a piece of land. But everything is such an flux at the moment that I am not planning too much into the future.

    What's the biggest industry/source of jobs where you live - not in the country but the specific area.

    Usually oil and gas, and dairy farming.

    Are you looking for a new job?
