Hey,
I'm a completely random person with practically no insightful information to offer the public. I have made no major achievements in my life, aged 33 and still live with my parents. Go ahead and ask me anything.

A label maker can be extremely useful, so I think $10 is a good buy.
For example, if you live in a house with multiple people who touch your stuff, or even if you take food to work you can put a nice message on there. Something like "This is [insert name here]'s food, if you touch this I am warning you that I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career…"
if you touch this I am warning you that I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career…
What about 'germs'?
I prefer surprise laxatives.
Ahhh the age old Ozbargain conundrum
Are you related to Ilyn and Podrick Payne?
remember when you are ready to listen, you will be told
Hey there Dr., so you have a partner but live with your parents. How do you make that work?
This is only a recent thing to happen. We built and moved into our first home about 6 months ago. Since then the tension has been building up more and more and time apart has become critical.
Before then I actually lived with her and her parents for almost 3 years and that was a head ache in itself… But that allowed us to save up the fund to put down a deposit on the house.
I remain optimistic that we will figure out our differences and then start living together again. The time apart has really allowed us to respect and appreciate how much we care about each other.
Is there anyway you can prove that you are who you are and not just a troll?
Prove that he is a completely random person with practically no insightful information to offer the public??
Not entirely sure how, but I think you are misusing the term 'troll'. I am by no means trying to offend or hurt anyone by replying to these questions.
Have you ever been to Lucky Souvlaki in Santorini?
No I have not, but my regular watering hole is The Tropical when ever I am there. I will make sure I make sure I go there when I visit next (should be mid/late next year).
Friends and family all around the country so generally no need to pay for food or accommodation.
If you could rewind to being 18, would you choose a different path?
Not at all. I am happy with who I have become and where I see myself going.
I have made mistakes, we all have… But I would not be the person I am today if I didn't make those mistakes.
Although, the thought of an alternative path is extremely interesting just to see how slight changes would have affected my whole attitude to life.
PS4 or Xbox One
If PC was a choice I would say that… But because it isn't, I will have to say PS4.
How many 5 year old child zombies do you think you could successfully fend off for 2 minutes?
Depends on what weapons and environment I have available. Once you provide this information, I will be able to respond appropriately.
Hmmm, you are inside a narrow tunnel with zombies coming from both directions and you have a Nun-chuck
Well, I am pretty skilled with the nunchakus (some of my friends call me Bruce Lee)… Although, the fact the zombies would be coming from both directions makes me concerned. The probability is quite high that I could only withstand the waive for about 1 min before getting exhausted.
Hope this is a sufficient answer to your question.
Given they are the child-kind, and they are not the type that run, you may want to consider bashing through while moving in one direction fast enough that your back isn't under pressure.
You just gotta be quick at the start since if you can manage to toss the bodies back far enough they can act as obstacles to impede the wave from behind also while you bash your way through - using the narrow corridor to your advantage. You will tire less easily if you only have to fight from one side.
Hope this helps. Stay safe.
The Wire or Breaking Bad?
Breaking Bad.
Cat or dog?
Dog, even though I have not had one for quite a while. Primarily been surrounded by cats for several years. Have not had the time to invest training another animal.
Would you rather eat:
Poo flavoured ice cream
Or
Ice cream flavoured poo
Poo flavored ice cream to avoid any bacterial infection. I would let it melt down to a liquid and have a chaser of something nice.
and have a chaser of something nice.
Does that imply that Poo flavour isn't nice? If so, how do you know that?
My assumption is that 'Poo flavor' will be unpleasant. Although, you are correct… I could thoroughly enjoy the flavor. Then I could go face first and try the real thing.
If so, how do you know that?
I'd say the smell is a hint lol
edit - mind you, I love durian.. perhaps ignore this post.
You arn't the chef from the Coogee Bay Hotel are you?
Tacos or Burritos?
Burritos. Tacos get stuck in my teeth which annoys the shit out of me.
Are many of your teeth in open contact?
No, not really. Mainly it's because I have quite deep grooves in my back teeth which cause food to always get in there.
Favourite Pr0nstar?
Gianna Michaels
Reason?
I find her sex appeal extremely attractive and she actually seems to enjoy herself. Nothing worse than completely fakery in my opinion.
This is one of the best threads I have come across in a long time.
my new hero :D
HAHAHAHAHA, YES!
seeing as your from Greece …what are you economic (macro and micro) suggestions you would suggest to overcome the present debt situation ?
There is no doubt about it, the country is in a very crappy position right now. But most of my family and relatives are getting by okay over there. The whole country runs off a 'cash in hand' attitude so there is still an alternative source of income for many people.
Our culture is very collectivistic, so the elderly are being looked after from the children. Ultimately, the old corrupt politics need to be wiped out with new young and innovative thinkers.
All in all, I try not think about it too much and just keep in touch with my family who are doing okay.
Who is Jesus?
fast forward 5 years or 10 years from now and you still live with your parents and still think that you have not made any achievement, what would you then do?
Wow, hard to say. I would assume depression would be prominent and I may become self destructive with drug and alcohol abuse.
Knowing this, what can you do today to prevent that from happening?
Get back on my feet and start running. Think of an idea/plan like I normally do in life and start working towards it.
Well, maybe you can be grateful that 5 to 10 years from now, you still have parents to live with. Stay positive bro :)
If you could back in time, what would tell your 20-year old self ?
Do you like talking about yourself?
Thank you for the sharing.
Do you find doing this AMA therapeutic in terms of helping you going through life ups and down?
Yes and no. It is helping to get unexpected information off my chest, but still feel like something is preventing me from moving forward. This is normal for my mind, and generally this phase lasts between 2days to 2weeks.
What it has helped me with is the current predicament I am facing in life. This allows me to understand my mind in greater detail and will eventually help me see clearly.
I'm feeling full after lunch, but I have 2 slices of bread left over. Should I save them for afternoon tea (as opposed to a single scotch finger biscuit), or bring them back home for brekky / lunch tomorrow?
if you write a book about failure, and it doesn't sell, is it called success?
When you have an internal thought, is it in your voice or something more omnipotent. (also is it in Greek or english)
I have always felt as though I can achieve anything, but yet to do anything significant yet. This leads me to believe that I have been deluding myself for a long time. Also, when I have an internal thought it depends on the subject I am thinking about. For example, if I am trying to figure out some mathematical equation, it will all be in Greek.
how much do you weigh?
94ish kg
well at least you aint over weight !!
Do you like "mudkips"?
How can you not? They are one of the cutest Pokemon ever.
Which starter Pokémon did you choose on your first play-through of Red/Blue?
Squirtle.
@DrPayne1990: Did you ever kill mewtwo by accident when you tried to catch it without using the masterball? If so, did you cry?
so what do you do with all your time now that you arent working?
Play video games, make semi efforts to find a job, do garden work….
really living the dream….
what video games you play?
Recently bought a 3DS from the Target Toy sale and grabbed a Gateway 3DS Flash Card as well. Been playing a heap of Zelda, Mario and Pokemon on that.
Do you believe as a person, you need to achieve "something" in order to be happy?
Me, personally… Yes. But everyone is different.
Also, achievement is such a unique characteristic for each person. Things I might deem as just 'life', others will see as an 'achievement'.
How do you stay calm?
It took me a long time to learn how to control my anger and remain calm. Ultimately, I hit a point in my life where I started to look at things a little bit different and stuff didn't bother me that much anymore.
Occasionally, I loose control… but generally it is self talk and meditation which helps the most.
Cool, what type of meditation do you practice?
Generally I put myself in a trance by simply thinking about it.
As long as there are no distractions, quiet environment it is quite easy to achieve.
This allows me to explore my brain like I can actually see neurons firing.
Think of it as 'just being'. Not aiming to go do anything, not wanting to play some games, just sitting there and 'being'.
You correctly used the words "quiet" and "quite" within a single sentence. Would you consider that an achievement?
I didn't even recognise that until you pointed it out. So probably not. I also think that spell check probably was the real hero in that scenario.
What is zero divided by zero?
I think we're all missing the vital questions here.
Is your missus an OzBargainer?
Do you buy Home brands?
Do you have a vegie patch?
Have you ever taken food from someone else's plate after they were finished?
How often do you shower?
Ever thought about moving to Mauritius?
How many Eneloops have you acquired?
Do you shop at Harvey Normans?
Now that you're thinking about getting pregnant, what do you do with the copious amounts of bargain condoms?
If you see a good deal, do you buy 1, 2, 5 or all that's available?
Is your missus an OzBargainer?
Yes, but she does not have an account. Just finds stuff she likes and gets them. Usually bloody flights to somewhere.
Do you buy Home brands?
Yes, I budget at home as much as possible. Get a weekly shop done for around $100 per week for the both of us.
Do you have a vegie patch?
Not at the new house, but have built one for my in-laws who regularly grow things that I pinch.
Have you ever taken food from someone else's plate after they were finished?
All the time…
How often do you shower?
Generally once every 2-3 days depending on the activity I perform during the day. If I get stinky, I will shower more frequently.
Ever thought about moving to Mauritius?
Not until now, but I like the idea.
How many Eneloops have you acquired?
I am currently using two whole packets (1 x AAA, 1 x AA) in products around the house. I also have an extra 3 packets which have been unopened and yet to actually charge any up…
Do you shop at Harvey Normans?
Generally only when I see something good come up on OzB.
Now that you're thinking about getting pregnant, what do you do with the copious amounts of bargain condoms?
I actually give allot to friends. The missus is on the pill.
If you see a good deal, do you buy 1, 2, 5 or all that's available?
Normally 2, if not 1. I can always think of at least one person who would benefit from the item.
Generally once every 2-3 days
Has your gf ever commented on this?
How do you deal with being a virgin at age 33?
By reminding myself that there are people like you in the world.
You said you've had no major achievements in your life so far, but what has been your biggest?
Hi DRPAyne1990
I am questioning whether to buy this label maker.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/204563
I don't recall ever having a need for it.
What shall I do?
