9. Dunno, probably neither
10. Number 2, did I win?

1/ America's Cup win, to get an appreciation of how much we were underdogs and how much an achievement it was
2/ Cleaner. Don't mind the other two as hobbies.
3/ Define "really use the money". Homeless, definitely, give them the money. Family with four kids struggling to pay daily bills, no way.
4/ Probably. Definitely in 5-10 years time.
5/ Tassie Devil
6/ Would depend on what sort of bloke he was and how he'd treated her
7/ Europe
8/ Human overpopulation/deforestation/species decline.
9/ The former. Not my fault if people can't grasp what I'm doing or see past their own little worlds.
10/ $20k

1. Moon Landing.
2. Gardener.
3. $10,000.
4. No. $1,000,000 is not enough.
5. Cheetah - domestication of them is not that difficult - getting hold of one is my problem.
6. No issue - I'm not insecure. (My wife's ex used to come to dinner when their daughter lived with us.)
7. A year in Europe with a monthly spending money of $2,000 would be nice supplement to such a trip though not enough in itself.
8. Clean cheap energy in sufficiency.
9. The greatest genius of all time - then I'd solve the other peripheral problems for myself!
10. It may depend on my mood at the moment. (PS: But I'm most likely to keep the $20K.)

1) If you had a time machine and you could go back and witness any event in history (while not actually being a part of it), what event would it be?

I can’t make up my mind. Having had 5 computers that cost a fortune and all of ‘em f**ked up, I’d dearly love to go back and be Bill Gates mother’s gynaecologist! Then again, perhaps going back to the dinosaur extinction would be fun. I'd like to know how my wife’s family survived.

2) If you could have free, unlimited service for five years from an extremely good cook, cleaner, or gardener, which would you choose?

My favourite barmaid at the Crown. Hubba hubba !!!

3) Would you rather be given $10,000 for your own use, or be able to give $1000 anonymously to 100 strangers? You can't pick who it's given to, though you know that all of the people could really use the money.

Definitely the second one. Just imagine the next few hundred rounds of drinks !

4) Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave Australia and never set foot in it again?

If I was stuck there, I’d pay that just to leave Victoria !

5) If you could domesticate any wild animal successfully, what would it be?

Fort Battle-Axe !

6)Your partner just told you that they want to get a family picture done with their ex and their kids. What would you say to them?

“Sure, take this magic camera for the group shot. Just pull out the pin and let the lever go sweetheart.”

7) You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly spending money of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon. Which option do you select?

Being married, I’d take the moon every time! Just so long as oxygen isn’t included.

8 ) If you could solve ONE of the world's problems, what would it be and why?

What’s so great about nitrogen, oxygen & hydrogen? Why isn’t alcohol more common ?

9) Would you rather be the greatest genius of all time but so beyond people's comprehension that you'd never be appreciated until long after your death, or a person who is perceived as a genius in his own time but is later thought of as a mediocre hack who was overrated?

No one would dig up the grave of dumbest hack of all time. Heaven knows, you can get more qualified with every drink !

10) Someone offers you this deal: $20,000 for nothing... or, $200,000 if you can pick the number they're thinking of between 1 and 5. What do you do?

Stuff 1 and 5, I’d have 10 to 20 mates waiting to pinch the $200,000 !!!


If ya promise not to tell Fort Battle-Axe about all this, the first round’s on me boys !
