Advantages: there are not more than 20
Disadvantages: only 20 questions + it's only me
Here are 20 questions you were always afraid to ask.
=== 1. How long on average does it take you to get rid of someone trying to sell you something over the telephone? ===
I was quite polite before and was losing some time on these rubbish calls but since we are much busier with children I just stop them after 2.6 secs and point out that we are on this BT list which doesn't allow cold calls.
=== 2. What is the most expensive item you have ever broken on purpose, (when angry counts as on purpose) even if you regretted it soon after? ===
Well, I never...
=== 3. If you buy something for 99p with a £1 coin do you really want the 1p back? ===
Not really. I thought it is not polite to leave your 1p and people would see you as a bit arrogant. Now I am starting to leave that 1p and try to save by not spending £1 in the first place. I hope that student on the till will spend it wisely and someone else will return to me a small favour.
=== 4. What was the last thing you shouted when alone in the car? ===
Loooove, Love will tear us apaaart, again! (not that I mean it, just love that song and listen it with a very positive attitude)
=== 5. What is your usual path through the supermarket? ===
I usually go the way they wanted me to go covering all important and unimportant corners. Happy with myself when I resist very strong temptations supermarket guys put on sales racks and unhappy when I spend too much time there promising to myself that next time I'll buy over the web.
=== 6. Do you lick the underside of the foil top when eating a pot of yoghurt? ===
Sometimes. Depends on the mood. If in hurry I just throw it away worried that I will get stained.
=== 7. How many greetings cards have you sent in the last twelve months? ===
Not many. My wife loves that job and I try to give her opportunity to do that for me as well.
=== 8. A criminal maniac invites you to "pick a city for destruction, Mr. Bond" which one would you choose? ===
Salo, Finland - Haven't been there? Well, don't go than - it's too late.
=== 9. Which font do you use most often? ===
Arial and Verdana - easy on the eyes I think.
=== 10. If you had a choice between a petrol chainsaw and a bread knife, which would you use for felling a small tree with a 1in diameter trunk? ===
Bread knife - not always impressed with boy's toys and engines
=== 11. On a scale of 1-10 how confident are you when to use a semicolon? ===
Very confident; not a problem; for me; at least for; hmm semicolon; you know what I mean.
Seriously, not a big deal for me. I more struggle with 'a' and 'the' as English is not my mother's tongue.
=== 12. What proportion of the CDs you own are in the original cases right now? ===
Most of them. The reason is that I rely on digital music more these days.
=== 13. Favourite colour black or white? ===
Not favourite but I prefer black (have a black car - looks less dirty than a white car ;) )
=== 14. How accurate is the time on your watch? ===
Very accurate. I rely on time on my computers which are synced with some time servers. I spend so much time on the computer so stopped wearing watch. I am good with appointments and don't like to be late.
=== 15. What are you wearing right now? ===
Pyjamas - why do you ask?
=== 16. Have you ever written to, emailed or telephoned a newspaper, radio station, TV. Program etc. and what did you say? ===
I won few ticket competitions on the local radio as a student and managed to impress my then girlfriend/nowadays wife with taking her to interesting gigs.
=== 17. Do you in the fundamental depths of your soul; give a crap about the extinction of the red cockaded woodpecker? ===
Yes. I think this world is much crueller place for all of us and I think we have few other things which can make us redundant on the face of the Earth before this type of misbalance would cost us too much.
=== 18. What is the cheapest thing you have bought with a debit or credit card in the past month? ===
Can't remember but I use card for small amounts very often. Don't like wallet full of coins + there are always some points/miles on credit card spending
=== 19. Favourite books? ===
The Joke - Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera
The Trial - Franz Kafka
The English: A Portrait of a People - Jeremy Paxman
=== 20. What is your most favourite meal? ===
Starter - Beef Carpaccio
Main course - Roast leg of kid with potatoes and onions
Dessert - Crème Brulee
...and now for something completely different...
Summary: come on, bring on next 20
