Hi! I'm Donny! (Okay, most of you probably already knew that; shut up.)
Err, so I've been around for a while now. This is my 5000th post. So surely you know me well enough by now that you have a burning question that you'd just
love
to ask me. Well, now we have the perfect platform! I'll even be a nice guy and collate the answers to the good ones in this here post.
Things you may ask me about are: my life, past, present and future; my personal tastes regarding pretty much anything (and why); anything at all about Australia (if I don't already know it I'd be genuinely happy to research it!); moral/logical conundrums; anything you think I might know the answer to really!
Anything that I choose not to answer, for whatever reason, I will say so.
So, uhh, ask away! :)
The Q&A threads that seem to be so popular right now aren't to get a broad range of opinions on various matters, they're for people to get to know forum users that they see every day but may not get the opportunity to ask more personal questions and get to know on a more personal level.
Directly addressing or making threads targeting specific users is frowned upon so these things are in a bit of a grey area and as such are only allowed as long as they stay friendly and as long as everyone involved is happy.

Whats your favourite colour
:)
Mines Purple or Dark Blue
:)
It depends what we're talking about. For example, if we're talking about the middle of a steak, my favourite colour is pink. But if we're talking about a lady's hair, my favourite colours are
Barbie Blonde
, followed by
red
, then
jet black
, then
chocolate brown
. Can you tell I ♥ side fringes?
If it's cars it's usually blue, but there are exceptions. For example, the
Lamborghini Murcielago
looks better green, while the
Holden Monaro
looks just as good in yellow as it does in green or blue.
Do you now see that this is not an easy question to answer?Why does everything in Australia try to kill you?
I can understand why, as someone who has never been to Australia, you may have that misconception. We have kangaroos and wombats that will stand on the highway, 10 out of the world's 10 deadliest snakes, funnel web spiders, red back spiders, the world's most poisonous creature (the box jellyfish), saltwater crocodiles, just about every breed of shark, extreme heat, bushfires, extreme rainfall and floods, so yeah, I understand the misconception.
However, the thing is, apart from the kangaroo, I have never seen any of those animals outside of captivity. Heat, well I lost my brother due to extreme heat, but he was working in a space where the temperature was triple the outside temperature. Floods: the floods in Queensland in December/January only killed 20 people, despite affecting an area the size of Britain and France combined. Bushfires kill a few hundred a year; not good but hardly a major cause of death.
It is also pretty damn hard to get a gun over here, people don't just walk around with them like they do in some US states. In fact, most people I know (myself included) have never even held a fully operational gun, and have never even
seen
one outside of a police officer or armed guard's holster (I had them pointed at me once though!).

I like Marmite. Likely most people don't like it because it's not Vegemite. Personally, I prefer Vegemite, I pretty much consider Marmite a Vegemite substitute. C'mon man, Vegemite is made from beer! How Aussie is that!

I don't just have a single favourite colour though. I can't just say "When referring to abstract colour - colour that has no context - the one I most like is _____". Colour is nothing without context.

You lost your brother to the heat? You mean that he died?
Postado por
donnymurph
Yes, he died in pretty horrific circumstances during a typical summer heatwave in November 2009. It was quite a big news story and the Federal Government copped a lot of bad energy for it.
I should have said foster-brother technically.

Do I get to make a Q&A once I have 5k posts too, Donny?

The answer to that is out of my scope. I'm certainly not going to stop you.

Why would it get locked? There are several other Q&A threads.

Because we generally don't like them. My own Q&A was sort of frowned upon by the rest of the Staff. I am not exactly sure why we left Interest's around, but we had some shady reason. Everything else we've traditionally locked.
I'll let this one live for now, but I can't guarantee anything for the rest of the Staff.

I have a Q&A thread. It isn't locked. I made it when I was more of a presence around this place. Now it has sunk down into obscurity. You really need to be someone most people talk to in order to have a Q&A thread. At this point, I wouldn't say I qualify for one.

Really? I thought quite a few of them were left alive.
