Sunday Stealing: Random Revelation

 I'm just back from the movies - and what a cracker that was - a little Scottish film called I Swear, about a fellow with Tourette Syndrome. A biopic it shows his struggles and how he came through to make the most of life. Great little film. Seek it out. 

Anyway, on with the questions, brought to us by Sunday Stealing. There's a few more questions this week. Cool. 

1. Is your phone Apple or Android? What about your laptop?

My phone is an Apple iPhone - I believe it's a 15 Pro. I love the camera on it. My laptop is a very old HP. I use Windows for most of my work and I've no idea how MacBooks work. It does the job. 

2. Can you say "thank you" in more than one language?

Hell yeah. 

I can say thank you in the following languages: 

  • French (Merci)
  • Spanish (Gracias)
  • Italian (Grazie)
  • Bahasa Indonesian / Malaysian (Terima Kasih)
  • Balinese (Suksma)
  • Finnish (Kiitos)
  • Dutch (dank je)
  • German (Danke)
  • Greek (ευχαριστώ - Efharsito)
  • Japanese (Arigato)
  • Thai (Khopkun ka)
  • Arabic (Shukria)
  • Australian Standard Sign Language (two fingers to the lips then let the hand drop)
  • Australian Bogan - Beaut mate
  • Danish (Tak)
Not bad for a dumb Aussie. 

3. What do you draw when you doodle?

Circles and five-pointed stars. And sometimes spiderwebs which I fill in. I've tried to break myself of the habit of doodling. 

4. Which do you enjoy more, Scrabble or bowling?

Um, I think I would say barefoot lawn bowling is my favourite kind of bowling. I don't mind scrabble, nor bowling with a hard ball with pins and a lane, but it's been an age - and lawn bowls are great. Just don't tell my mother I like it on a social level. 

5. Can you juggle?

I used to be able to juggle three balls - but it's not a skill that I've practiced. 

6. Have you ever worn pajamas in public?

Yes! I have a very cool pair of silk pyjamas that I like to where when I dress up and go to the Rocky Horror Picture show. I go as Columbia. This is an allowable use of pyjamas in a public setting. I need to find another pair of Mickey Mouse ears. 

7. Was your best subject in school the one you enjoyed the most?

Pretty much. I enjoyed English and French and did fairly well in them - but my Maths and Chemistry scores weren't too far behind them. 

8. When you're offered the senior discount before you ask for it, are you offended or grateful?

I'm not there yet and I've never had it offered. If offered a seat on public transport, if it's a kid offering, I will take it. I still give up my seat to the elderly when required. 

9. Do you agree that with age comes wisdom?

It often does, but not always. 

10. Do you consider Sunday the first day of the week or the last day of the weekend? 

Sunday, unfortunately, is the last day of the weekend. I wish there were more weekend days.
