That's more or less what happens here with the All Blacks!

Thanks!!

Wow, this is a lot of questions! I had better get started!

Did you watch the news today? Yes, I watch the news in the morning when I wake up, and in the evening. I like to know what is going on in the world!

Do you own a sewing machine? Yes, as well as a Overlocker

Do you like the television show "Cops"? It hasn't been shown over here...

Is anything too serious for jokes? What? Mmmmm, this is a difficult one. I have a problem with people making fun of my Saviour.

You find that your best friend has stolen money to pay for medical treatment for a seriously ill relative. What would you do? Nothing. Unless she stole the money from me!

Has your life ever been changed by an apparently random occurrence? I dont think so... I believe everything happens for a reason, so nothing is really random...

What would you do if your country started a war you considered unjustified? That is difficult, because I was a permanent force member of the south african air force and I am still a reservist. I would be charged with treason if I refused to fight.

What is the most imaginative thing you ever did as a child? It was so long ago I can't remember

You and two loved ones are on a walk through the forest. Your two companions fall into a pit of poisonous vipers. You have enough anti-venom to save only one; the other will certainly die. What would you do? Now - assume it's your two children at risk. I would use it on myself, so I could rescue my children and be in a condition to get them to help. The chances are I would get bitten when I jump into the pit, without the anti-venon I would be unable to resue them and we would all die. You can proberly tell from my answer I don't have children!

What is your morning routine? Get up, feed the cats, watch the news, have a cup of tea, shower, get dressed, go to work. Pretty boring!

What was your previous job? Air traffic control

Do you find it easy to ask for help? Yes, I am not a man!

If you had to ask for help who would be your three choices in order of who you'd ask first? My sister, my mom and then my best friend

If you could learn the secret to any special effect or stunt from a movie, what would it be? How did superman fly??

Would you help a very close friend who is in agony die? No, it is not my place to make a decision wether a person should live and die. That is up to G_d.

Who is the most interesting person you've ever met? My grandfather.

Can you still say "Put it where the sun don't shine " on a nude beach? Of course! but I have no idea what I am doing on a nude beach in the first place!

If the sky is the limit, then what is space? errrrr, beyond the limit???

What was your favorite school lunch? hot dogs with tomatoe sauce!

In your opinion, which animal is the most beautiful? Cats!

In what way are you least understood? I am afraid of rejection. People don't understand that I close myself off in order to prevent this from happening.

In south africa we call maize or corn 'mielies'.

Mielie pap is corn that is ground like a flour and mixed with water/milk/butter and made into a very thick dryish porridge.

Your rose looks lovely! I can imagine that if your roses are so good, then the rest of the garden must be beautiful too!

Oh, I see! It doesn't actually sound very appetising, but I would like to try it all the same!

I was also wondering what the veg/fruit that looks like a giant banana is used for?!! I believe they have to be cooked, so it really isn't a banana! They sell them in my local market and I'd love to try one!
