I'll have a go.

Hobbies: photography (landscape/astro/people -- maybe in that order?), sunrise/sunset, scambaiting, playing guitar (poorly), music, driving long distances, travel

Favourite food: anything my mum makes, kebabs/adana rolls from the shops in Auburn, and the most divine pizza you'll ever eat -- Pizzeria du Buffeto in Rome

Favourite movie: The Godfather I, or, The Godfather II. I can't decide. Why? Storrytelling, cinematography, atmosphere, and, the acting. Nothing comes close.

Something my coworkers don't know about me? I'm an open book; they know everything.

Three people at dinner party: amongst many, Galen Rowell (he is my hero), Mikael Åkerfeldt and Kate Bush. Why? They're my influences.

Jason, I have to admit to seeing your point of view re: Angelina Jolie. : P

Hey Ric, you probably knew an old mate of mine, Manny Blanco. He used to race Supers and did the Castrol around that time.

Oh, and I reckon Wayne Gardiner was a better rider than Mick Doohan, and he did better up against better competition.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hi Jason,

The name sounds familiar but it was a long while back now.

I see that I'll have to invite you to dinner as well, could you invite Wayne also. I see that it would be an interesting debate into the early hours of the morning with some good Grandfather port on the offering.

Cheers

If Ange is all plastic, she's a smart card because her IQ is 136

I wonder how many here have an IQ that high..........??

I watched Wayne win the Castrol Six hour in 1982. The last few laps he was running on almost dead tires. He did not slow down and gave it everything!
That is guts!
You all know the rest.

Hobbies?
Playing with my son, photography, mucking around with linux servers, indoor netball (playing and coaching), golf, tennis, travel, snowboarding, movies, computer games, trivia (I'm a sponge), pushing people's buttons

Favourite Food?
Lasagne made by my mum

Favourite Movie and Why?
Tough one - whenever I think of my list of favourite movies Stargate is always up there. Good Will Hunting too. Contact and the Star Wars saga.

What is something that your co-workers might not know about you?
That I play and coach indoor netball. That I once spent the night at Southport Watchhouse for being a naughty drunk. I once had a flat stomach. I once had hair, half way down my back.

Which 3 people would you invite to your perfect dinner party and why?
Megan Gale - you need to ask why?
Boba Fett and the Stig - I'd like to see them in the same room at the same time, because I reckon they're the same person.

I saw her just the other night and she had a bottle of some sort of sauce. She said 'don't worry if it does not come out at first just keep squeezing and shaking it, it comes out eventually!"

It certainly did!
