Noish questions, Warren!
1. How old are you?

32

2. Which languages can you speak and how well?
English -fluent
Polish -fluent, with grammatical errors (I mean more than in English!)
German -would need about a month to be fluent
Spanish -nowadays, only passive :-(, but I can say "I used to speak Spanish fluently, but I've forgotten it all", really well.
Irish -the mandatory few words
(http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=iPH4Mv06Lig)

3. What is your 'pet hate' and why?
people complaining, instead of doing something about it, or shutting up. I should hope the reason is obvious

4. How much time do you normally spend online and where?

In the office, most of the day, but passively. I surf in moments of boredom. At home, about one or two hours three times a week. -ish

I usually check out Irish/English/Polish news headlines, footie news, http://nakedvampirebitches.com, GL, business sites, more and more time on youtube, less and less time on facebook (no, I will NOT take the "which serial killer are you like?" test!)

5. Would you ever agree to pay or be paid for sex?

I realise the question was ambiguous?

What's the point of a private blog?

You may as well keep a diary.

...that you can access anywhere in the world with internet connection. Maybe that IS the point?

Well ok, let me put it this way:
Few people know my blog's address.
And no #1, it's not really "private", as in with restricted access or anything.
And no #2 - it's not a diary.Jarek Adamowski edytował(a) ten post dnia 22.02.08 o godzinie 20:57

Five for Friday, 22.2.08:

1. How old are you?

36 and rising!
2. Which languages can you speak and how well?

English of course
Polish reasonably fluently but without caring too much about the grammar
French reasonably fluently but used to be a lot better
Arabic used to be intermediate but now almost zero through lack of pracice
Spanish basic
Italian basic and mainly invented
German comical and almost entirely my own invention
Greek - was once able to converse with the local taxi drivers but have absolutely no idea how I was ever able to do that!
3. What is your 'pet hate' and why?

Ski jumping on TV. Why? Because it's extremely monotonous. The noise of the sirens drives me crazy. Everyone jumps the same distance more or less - 135 m.
4. How much time do you normally spend online and which sites?

probably 2 hours a day.

youtube
goldenline
GG

Btw, I don't have a blog because I really don't see the point. Why on earth would anyone want to read my diary? And if I put something really really genuinely shockingly interesting in there, do you think I'd want everyone to read it????
5. Would you ever agree to pay or be paid for sex?

I wouldn't pay.
Would anyone pay me? I wouldn't know what to charge....

Latin - enough for my needs

3. What is your 'pet hate' and why?

arrogant, sexist, stuck-up men who cover up their insecurities with pseudo-intelligent speeches which they bash people with (mainly women as they feel superior to them) ....

intolerance, narrow-mindedness, stupidity, pessimism....

hate it when someone takes my parking spot in front of my house - why? pure inconvenience!
hate seat belts - don't like being restricted:)

football - 22 guys running after a ball.... boring ;-p
4. How much time do you normally spend online and which sites?
depends on a day - 2 hrs in between other things that I do.
sites:
social networking: GL, facebook, christiancafe, nasza-klasa, etc.

I do have a few blogs - for friends only :)

1. How old are you?
My physical age would equal 46 of your "Earth" years :)
2. Which languages can you speak and how well?
English, and I learned French; Spanish; Serbian and/or Croatian; Russian; Arabic in extensive classroom settings, and like most, "use it or lose it." Ironically, not Polish, although I know a few words. :)
3. What is your 'pet hate' and why?
US advertising media, and the way US insurance companies do business, especially as it pertains to health care matters. Pricks.
4. How much time do you normally spend online and which sites?
Since I dislike most television, probably a couple of hours. I keep in touch with people I don't get to see, I talk to YOU fools :) I don't get enough e-mail here but I get a lot otherwise. So I answer. :) A-Z about the natural world, birds, wild flowers, etc. Google Sky.
[b]5. Would you ever agree to pay or be paid for sex
Not with a stranger but maybe as part of a twisted game with someone I was close to :)Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.02.08 o godzinie 07:25

1. How old are you?


27 - my age is under construction ;)

2. Which languages can you speak and how well?

Polish
English ;)
Swedish - can argue in Swedish ;)
Rusian - good vodka and some caviar both make me talkative ;)
and French more or less :)

3. What is your 'pet hate' and why?
..taxi drivers who are keen to take me for a looong ride at night. For money, just for money ;)


4. How much time do you normally spend online and which sites?

Depending on my mood and alternative activities ;). Sometimes almost whole day chatting, shopping online and reading news (addiction). Intensive surfing maximum 2-3 hours. Naturally, my eyes once say "no" and then no net for days :), only my mailbox.

At work.... whole working day my computer is on.

[b]5. Would you ever agree to pay or be paid for sex?

..if I knew that I could have an outstanding quality for money ;))) Anyway, I try to cut on entertainment costs ;).

33
2. Which languages can you speak and how well?

English - how well? as you can see
Russian - pretty well I guess
German - so so - can figure out what they say but funny thing: when I try to answer I switch to English automatically, strange, isn't it?
Italian - getting worse and worse as am too lazy to practise on my own
Spanish - can order a beer

3. What is your 'pet hate' and why?

sheer stupidity

4. How much time do you normally spend online and which sites?

can't imagine how I could manage without it 10 years ago.
haven't got a telly, so the net is my source of information, means of communication with family and friends in Poland, source of knowledge I need while performing my job-related activities, a lot on GL, hours on Skype with one geek from Belfast ;)

5. Would you ever agree to pay or be paid for sex?

We all do pay and are paid without even realising the fact as payment may have other forms than cash ;)
BTW, a friend of mine says that marriage is just a form of legalised prostitution :)
