Cooking, as long as I get too choose what I'm cooking (can't find any pleasure in heat 'n' eat cooking for the kids)
Unless watching sport on the tele is considered to be a household chore, then I'll pick that.
What can you see from your office/work window?
I work as a Gardener so my office Window is the world. :vader:
What was your favourite ever holiday?
Relaxing on a beach in St lucia with nothing to do but do nothing but look at the amazingly beautifull surroundings and then do more nothing, then going for a swim/dive before doing more nothing.

Adventure tourism or laid-back chill out?
Laid back chill for me. My life is a daily adventure so when I manage to get away from it all I wanna just have a few cold ones, a good book to read and just clear my mind of all the work and other responsibilities I have to worry about the rest of the year.
You ever been skydiving?
No way, I could never do it. I am not afraid to admit I am chicken when it comes to that.
Have you always lived in your own country or have you lived around the world? If so where?
I was born in the mighty city of Liverpool. The family moved to New Zealand when I was 8 and I have been here ever since.
Do you work to live or live to work?
I work to survive :dozey:
Are you planning on changing jobs soon?
Not really planning too, but a change could be nice. I would like the opportunity to use my degrees more. (I have one in education and one in Information Technology, but my current job doesn't use either of them).
Do you play any musical instruments?
Yes, the cd players in my car and my house :p:
Is anyone in your extended or immediate family mildly famous enough that we may know them?
Boring answer. No.
Do you know anyone famous?
Boring answer sort of. I have competed against and trained with several swimmers who have made Olympic finals.
Slightly against the rules, but answering the previous question.
John Godfrey Parry Thomas set the world land speed record in a car called Babs (before he tragically died in same car). The car was properly known as the Higham Special (same surname as me) because it was designed and built by Count Zborowski and named after his home at Higham Park. This estate was founded by when land ceded to the deHegham Family was settled and the family name was Englished to Higham. We are decendants of the deHegham/Higham clan so I am related to a land speed record car :)
Books or movies and why?
Prefer books, but as I just don't have the time to read novels these days, it is movies.
An interesting one for a change :D ..... You ever been arrested and if yes, what was it for?
No, unless being a psychotic axe murderer counts?
The only run ins I have had with the establishment are two speeding tickets and a fine for having my car unwarranted (this one was a bit naf because I had just rebuilt the damn thing and was taking it for a test drive around the block and was stopped at a check point :(.
Are you a motor sport fan because of the racing or the technology?
Racing all the way. Technology is interesting but I am not overly up on it.
Red or Blue?
Red AND blue. The colours of my beloved Steaua Bucharest.
Man. U or Man. City?
Neither...soccer is played by faggots and poor actors :p:
Beer or whine or spirit?
Any of them, depending on the season.
What kind of mineral water, sparkling or still?
Still for me, never liked sparkling at all.
Action movie, drama, comedy or sci-fi?
Don't mind the genre as long as the movie has something to say. I love Romanian movies of these days. Realistic dramas with comical accents.
Theater or cinema?
Neither, I prefer watching at home on my own big screen. No whiney kids ( besides my 2 boys lol ), no lasers being pointed at the screen, no one kicking my chair, no one farting next to me etc.
SUV or sports car and why?
None. I'm not interested in cars.
Holiday at the seaside or in the mountains?
If I stay home I can have both
summer or winter
Summer all the time. Winter is the season when I stop to live.
villa or apartment in a block?
I would prefer something with space around it, slightly out of town.
carnivore or herbivore?
Carnivore
Which Motorsport is your first love?

I don't go out that much so everything I'd do would be special. I'd probably like to go to the theatre. Haven't done it for ages.
What is a gardener's job during winter?
I am a gardener so, I can tell you.
Raking a lot of leaves up that have fallen over the autumn/Laying new Lawns and Turf. Cutting back Trees and Shrubs.
As well as a bit more time off.
Do you Cycle?
I used to cycle quite a bit before my kids came along. Now I just don't get the time. I have a gym at home so I work out for an hour a day and I'm right there if the family needs me :).
Do you like dolphins?
Comme ci, comme ça
Do you play a musical instrument?
Yes..... I have a classical guitar, a round backed folk guitar, a banjo and a mandolin! Looking for a nice bouzouki to add to the collection, I love the sound of Greek acoustic string music.
