Friday Five
Here we go again, this is the current one (and I may try and do a catchup one for last week later on the weekend).
1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
You are kidding right. This is one of those "chick" questions. I'm a guy. When I have to shop I do and get it over and done with. Like shoes. Last time my shoes were worn out (according to my wife) I went to a sports shop that looked reasonably priced and bought a pair that fitted. My wife on the other hand went to many stores and looked at many shoes and spend many hours doing so before selecting one. She enjoys the process (and that is fine as long as I don't have to go). What about big items (like a new car). Well I go to the pub at lunch time with me mates and we all talk about it and call each other names and then let the wife make the decision anyway :-)
2. What was the last thing you purchased?
Lunch. Satay chicken at the neat takeaway near where I work.
3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
On-line. Quicker and you don't have to deal with sales people.
4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
Yup. Fifty cents a week. 10 percent to church, 10 percent saved and the remainder for me. My grandfather once started down the old "when I was a boy we only got a brass farthing" once and I politely stopped him and asked what he could purchase with his pocket money because that was more important than the amount. He used to see the movies, subscribe to two monthly magazines (like "Boys Own") and buy an ice-cream. We worked out that I would need about $8 a week to achieve the same results. It really spoilt his story.
5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
Lunch. I have been burping all afternoon.
