It's far more popular to stream video games via different software (twitch, YouTube or Discord etc)

I would try guessing professions in age gap 40 y.o-80 y.o

My guess it is used a lot now in the profession @pawian is most known by, but I'll give other people a better chance to guess. So I'll try with: Polish Police to coordinate regional operations and if not, my second try: patients in hospitals to be social and not be bored while staying in bed

Good idea Oathi, it must be home schooling! Pawians field.

Yes, exactly. Teams is the best of all.

Who is this?

• 
  
  

Geralt?

Yes, the Witcher. :):):):) from comic books. My fav image of him.

Are you endowed with intrapersonal intelligence???

YOUR SCORE: 1. High internal intelligence.
This means that you know yourself well - you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses, you have a strong awareness of your own emotions, feelings, reactions - you respect them. You follow your own path. However, you do not stop on the journey inside yourself - personal development is important to you. You are probably most comfortable with your own company or a small circle of trusted friends. You need a lot of space for yourself. You can use your high self-awareness to better understand other people and the world in general.

Here's a mini quiz. It was first posted in the thread about proofreading which didn't attract much attention:

When BBC Prime existed in Poland, the subtitles from English to Polish were obviously done by a Pole and not proofread. The two funniest I ever saw (done by the same titling company) were:

1. "Czuję się jak mały koń."
2. "Poznałem go w marcu w Oldham Aston."

Can you guess what they were supposed to be translating?

Młody koń.

The exact word in the subtltles was "mały".

But what was the actual sentence they were trying to translate?

"I'm feeling a little hoarse."

Yes, got it in one!

I met him at an Oldham vs Ashton match.

Wow! That was a good one. Solving it took me 3 long minutes. :):)

Actually it took you 22 hours.

Nope, it took me 3 minutes since the moment I started thinking of it. First it was 30 seconds and I gave up and then 2.5 minutes. Together - 3 minutes. It is quite simple math, you don`t need a calculator.

Nope!

A clue is that one of the words has more than one (entirely different) meaning and something else is phonetic.

Another clue? CND.

I see. Now it is a piece of cake.

When I met him in March he looked like old ham from Aston.

That would have been a better line to have in the boring TV show in question.

The right answer is: "I met him on the Aldermaston marches.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldermaston_Marches

So, somebody changed Aldermaston


into Oldham Aston ???

hahaha Funny.

I must invent a similar translation.

In summer I am going to my uncle to help him with screwing.

You are not needed, he can screw it up himsef.
