1. Place of Birth Ayr, North Queensland
2. Nickname as a kid and now Macca or Roo.
3. Person you would most like to sit next to in a plane and why Steve Waugh - my hero.
4. Best thing you have done/bought for your mother or father It's my mum's 50th in a couple of days so i better think of something.
5. Most memorable punishment from your parents and what was it for Where to start... If you have a younger brother (who is also your parents' favourite) you have a long list of these. Probably the worse thing i have done was tie my brother's ankles together with string and got him to bunjy-jump from our clothesline. I also broke every window in the house with either a footy or cricket ball.
6. Your best and worst memory from school? Best memory - definately all of year 12 was excellent - was the only year where i genuinely wanted to go to school every morning. Just catching up and talking with your mates every day was gold. You miss that when you leave school. Most of my favourite memories were of sporting events. Probably my favourite was during the GPS swimming champs. It had been raining heavily all week and the roads were flooded. Our buses had broken down a couple of times just getting to the event and we all had to get out and push them. When we finally arrived at Chandler, we were an hour late and soaked thorough to the bone. Some stiff lips at the door refused to let us enter until they had seen everyone's ticket. A mate behind me said "screw that" and with an almighty roar, 600 of us pushed through the gates chanting our school's name. Another great memory was in year 12 when we beat an undefeated BBC in rugby on their 100th birthday. We even sang them "Happy Birthday". Take that you toffs.
Worst memory - definately breaking my shoulder playing footy in the first game in year 10. That was the worst pain i have ever experienced. It took a while but i finally made it back the next year, only to snap my wrist in the first practice game.
7. Your dream dish (we mean food)? Can't go past a roast chook or a lasagna. Actually, i can't knock any dish my mum makes.
8. Your ultimate holiday destination? I would love to go to South America, France, or India. I'm already organising and saving up for my trip to the Ashes in 2009 (the year after i finish uni).
9. The best practical joke you have ever played? Any that we played on one of our mates at school who, if a piece of the sky fell, it would fall on him. I remember we hid his P.E clothes once and when he came down to get changed out of his normal uniform, we stole those as well. Don't worry - he got me back plenty of times.
10. What one talent do you wish you had? Enough talent to play top-level competition in any sport.
11.What would you never do again? Swim in the rivers up north. As kids we didn't care that much if we saw a croc but i wont be jumping back in there any time soon.
12.What would be your ideal job? Captain of the Australian cricket team or physio for the lions.
13. I would never leave the house without my? Mobile phone.
14. What is your motto?
Motto for uni: "Work hard now so you can play hard later".
Motto for life: "Step out of your comfort zone at least once every day" or "Only the pain of a hard workout can save you the agony of defeat".
15. If you could change one part of the game or one rule, what would it be? Take the mics off the umpires.
16. Who is your favourite cartoon character? Gil from the Simpsons.
17. Who inspires you? Friends.
18. What are you listening to? When you were young by The Killers
19. What are you reading? Does Cosmo count?
20. Favourite Movie? Gladiator.
21. Favourite TV show? The Simpsons, all British comedies, especially Dad's Army, Blackadder, The Office, Fawlty Towers.
22. Least favourite TV show? Home & Away
23. Favourite piece of clothing? My plugas, old bears jumper, and tracky-dacks.
24. Favourite AFL media personality? Dennis Cometti and Bruce McAvaney
25. What was the last meal you cooked? It's easy to recognise because it is usually followed by the smoke alarm going off.
26. Scariest moment in your life? Being caught in a rip for an hour at the coast - i ended up on the next beach. Also breaking my shoulder. I remember getting crunched and as i was lying on the ground i couldn't feel my hand. I thought i had injured my spine.
27. Worst piece of advice ever given to you? Generally anything along the lines of "Hey Roo, have a sip of this..."
28. Biggest Regret? I don't like to think about this as it's too depressing. Not making any of the Grand Finals would be one of them - i'll be there for our next one though.
29. All time favourite player? No-one gets close to Voss. I doubt we will ever see another player like him.
30. Current favourite player? Vossy, Power, Black and Nige.

Your right there Warwick. Wish I had thought of that
sherminator said:
Impressive. Twin peaks is also superb. Have you read Dune? For that matter the entire Dune series? I feel that Lynch's cinamematic adaptation of Dune was one of his few failures. The book's scope was near impossible to cover in a 2 hour moive.

There are a few interesting trends starting to develop.
All of the more mature folk can cook and seem to cook more extravagant stuff than basic steak and chips while the younger posters pretty much can't cook
A lot of the older (for lack of a better term. No I am not saying you are old!) posters comment on their mums cooking in their favourite dish
People wish they could sing / play a music instrument and (whether divorced or not) have said they wouldn't get married again haha.
I am intruiged.

I think some of the 'older'(I hate that term), read 'mature', posters mention their mums and dads in general, due to the fact that you learn to appreciate your parents more as you get older. Don't get me wrong, we love our parents when we are younger but I think we only really appreciate what they have done for us as we get 'more mature' - not older.
Ashli, I believe your birthady is coming up. If you can't cook, do yourself a favour and get someone to buy you some cooking lessons for a present. The last thing you want to do is get to the age of 60 plus and being as bad a cook as my mother-in-law
. Just think in 2047, you could be on a sight similar to this answering the following question.Biggest regret in life?- Not listening to Crispy Creme. I should know how to cook and serve a meal consisting of Stracciatella, followed by Pesce con Zucchini, with a dessert such as Zuppa Inglese.
If not, at least know how to do a lamb roast to perfection!

I wasn't making judgments on the parents thing, I just find it interesting how people's view of their parents and the concept of openly valueing them changes after being independant and having moved out for awhile. Most people's stance shifts from "they can be so embarassing and annoying" to "they have done so much for me, I didn't appreciate that enough and I wish I still had someone doing my washing and cooking now
"I have already figured out what I am getting for my birthday haha a couple months in advance but hey. However, I will promise to try and learn how to cook some basic things like a couple pasta dishes n my step mum was tellin me bout some sausage thing the other day that is apparently cheap and easy to make. I think I will stick to stuff I can pronounce though so that strac zucchini thing may have to go a miss!

Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by.At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum.
Remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours!!
A good wife always knows her place.
Imagine mentioning those to your wife/girlfriend in this day. You would be shot!
Very good read Ashli, but I'm sorry, i have to add "c-section" to the list of Ashlisms.
"Whoever starts complaining first gets the floor. Then swapsies". Interesting image there.
Love the old VFL jumper.

Certainly is Realist Cinema irel. I must say Sherminator for a 14 year old your tastes in cinema are very mature and I do not mean that to be condescending. Stunning movie to say the least. Superb cinametography and the acting was top class. The script lost nothing in the English translation. Seeing it was based on a true story all I can say is that it has made me realise that if the sheer poverty and violence of the Rio slums is indicative of other large cities in Brazil in the 80's no wonder the nation struggled when it should have been thriving.irel said:

. Your post reminded me of the famous saying by Mark Twain. "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." I have noticed this even in my own lad who is only 18 next year. A couple of years back he was not so interested in what the old man had to say but now he is even borrowing my Belle & Sebastion CD's. Now that is backs Twain up 100%
