Now ... Uncle Waz, Waz, Wazza, Sir Warren, and from some the White Knight.

3. Person you would most like to sit next to in a plane and why Peter Marshall (although he is kind of a little dead now!) - awesome communicator - nick was Twittering Birds Marshall 'cause if he was talking about the bird's singing you could hear them, if speaking about a sea journey the audience would be wiping the brine off their lips etc (and I love to communicate) - *and* he was the first adult I ever came across who loved playing games!!!!

4. Best thing you have done/bought for your mother or father For their 40th wedding anniversary we got a star named after them. Also been their friend.

5. Most memorable punishment from your parents and what was it for Don't remember what it was for but it was with a cane duster ... would have deserved it 'though!

6. Your best and worst memory from school? Best memory - strangely enough it was being caned! :D Two of us had failed to escape when the deputy principal caught us playing king of the mountain on the rag bags ... myself and this guy David who was the leader of one of the main gangs at school (primary school). I was first and it stung but no big deal - then David's turn and he started crying ... and kept crying while being told to stop crying *whack* stop crying *whack* etc. From that day on they never touched me again (I had had most valuable victim status). He and all his mates barracked for Collingwood (shock huh!:rolleyes:) Worst memory ... probably the day I ran full speed into a goal post while trying to catch a cricket ball (spatial awareness was not my forte at that stage!)

7. Your dream dish (we mean food)? Roast dinner!

8. Your ultimate holiday destination? Anywhere my friends live - but for locale's sake that would be the UK, Ravenna, India...

9. The best practical joke you have ever played? Methinks I had better not divulge that one - but normally I get just as much pleasure out of the *thought* of it as the action of it.

10. What one talent do you wish you had? Talents I have in abundence ... actually spending the time and committment to make something of them is where I fall down :eek:

11.What would you never do again? Stay with an ex-friend up in Cairns - she went out the night I was leaving and deadlocked the door - had to climb out the second story balcony and work my way over to the next appartment to get out and to the plane!

12.What would be your ideal job? Public speaker / motivational teacher.

13. I would never leave the house without my? Mobile phone and sense of humour!

14. What is your motto?
"Never doubt in the shadows what was clear in the light."

"I am the master of my destiny and the captain of my fate ... not because I can control what circumstances come upon me but because I can choose which circumstances become a part of my world"

"Freedom is not the license to do whatever I please but the liberty to choose to do that which is right"

15. If you could change one part of the game or one rule, what would it be? Penalties given for bad acting:D

16. Who is your favourite cartoon character? The 'Beast' in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

17. Who inspires you? The potential I see all around me! Stranglely enough the more I speak or write about something the more inspired I become!

18. What are you listening to? Last thing in the background was a dvd of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Coat'

19. What are you reading? Currently reading Anne Macaffery's 'Power Lines', the lastest Wheel of Time novel, Colleen McCollough's 'The October Horse', the Histories of Herodatus, 'The Five Love Languages' and of course Big Footy ;)

20. Favourite Movie? While You Were Sleeping, Dave, The American President, Mr Holland's Opus, and It's a Wonderful Life.

21. Favourite TV show? Lions games!

22. Least favourite TV show? Anything purporting to be 'reality' that patently is not!

23. Favourite piece of clothing? Not sure that I have one of those atm - I remember ones in the past that finally were laid to rest - normally shirts.

24. Favourite AFL media personality? The only ones I see are the ones who commentate the games and I am more listening to what they are saying than who is saying it ... so don't really have one.

25. What was the last meal you cooked? Would you believe sausages, mashed potatos and peas! :)

26. Scariest moment in your life? Definitely not suitable for a public forum - freaks out people in person and not going to inflict it on children et al on here. Normally I don't notice things are scary until afterwards as I am too busy paying attention to all of the details so I can tell the story properly afterwards!

27. Worst piece of advice ever given to you? At college "... somewhere you have picked up the concept of 'Warren the Invincible', that you can do things, that you are special - you have to forget that ... you must be like everyone else"

28. Biggest Regret? Not having spent more time with friends now passed.

I make scrambled eggs in the microwave!
Click to expand...

last time I tried that:

mike_explosion.jpg
 
the lid was the problem!!!

just mix up the eggs and the milk cook for 2 mins, pull it out, give it a stir, another 2 mins, flutt it up leave it to cool for a minute and voila! Perfect everytime, no scraping frying pan or saucepan and no dodgy brown bits where it stuck to the bottom! (at least that's where I think they came from)

Leather belting for taking my father's watch apart just to see how it works. Put the loose pieces back and the rest is imprinted in my mind. Talk about childhood scars.

6. Your best and worst memory from school? Hated school so I haven't any good or bad memories of school. I was not the most studious students but always managed to achieve good results. The fact that I did not have to straggle made me lazy and easily distracted and not apply my self.

7. Your dream dish (we mean food)? Any food eaten with good company and invigorating conversation!

8. Your ultimate holiday destination? Anywhere. The destination is irrelevant. It's the people or person I am with that matters.

9. The best practical joke you have ever played? I am not the practical joker kind of guy.

10. What one talent do you wish you had? I have talent for almost everything. What I haven't got is the application and commitment. But I wish I had persevered with many of the musical instruments I tried.

24. Favorite AFL media personality? Don't have one.

25. What was the last meal you cooked? Put the roast in the oven. Does that qualify?

26. Scariest moment in your life? Loosing a job and becoming unemployed.
