    New Zealand. It always strikes as a brilliant place (I am sure Anfield can advise). It has such a range of climates, landscapes and interests.

    Is there anything interesting on the cards this week?

    Not much really exciting. Our daughter had her Homecoming football game to attend on Friday, and the dance last night. We are going to see our new nephew at some point today. (That should be fun but both parents are... well lacking in family skills) We haven't really made it out to do much as the mostly regular things have interfered with time to go out and do something really fun.


    It's finally dropping into the 50sF/10C range here at night, and it feels really cool after such a hot summer. How cool (or hot) is it where you live?

    For October in the UK its still pretty mild. we are at about 13-17C most days now. Probably the average for later October is 10-14C or something. We are predicted to get some wet weather this week and then cooler weather after that maybe.
    The news agencies and papers are doing their normal "Worst winter for 40 years" thing again, but it hardly ever is accurate.

    2009-2013 we had (for the UK) cold winters with alot of snow and cool snaps, but last year we had a warm & mild winter.

    So question is: What is your prediction for you upcoming Winter or Summer weather?

    We'll almost certainly have some.

    Since we've had a few questions about football (Euro style) here's one about football (American style) - Will the Redskins win another game this year?

    The ting about NZ is, despite it being so small, it is full of ermm... interesting stuff. For example the North Island is fully volcanic, it exists because of eruptions and lava flow. The south island has no volcanoes and is the result of tectonic interaction, i.e. the Southern Alps are the edge of the Pacific Plate as it rides over the Australian Plate

    Well I used to follow a lot of American sports..say 10-12 years ago (I had a lot of time + I liked most sports) - now I just watch football and F1/Rally. So I know a lot about US teams/sports till the 90s/early 2000s but am dodgy on what is happening currently...so I don't know if they will win a game but I hope they do (I dislike the usual big teams like Yankees/Patriots/Lakers!)

    Do you have a home team that you support?

    Well, against all odds, they won one yesterday. Which pretty much puts the lie to my question.

    A little. The Skins and the Ravens in football and the Wizards in basketball (Baltimore doesn't have a pro team). I don't care much for baseball or hockey.

    If you could have been a great athlete, which sport would it have been in?

    Football or motorsport. The problem with motorsport is I am 6 feet 5 and wouldn't fir in to racing machines of most types, so football it would be.

    If you could be famous for reasons other than sport, what would you choose?

    Music. Though the only instrument I know how to play is the stereo and when (if) I sing mirrors and windows break for miles around.

    What profession would you choose if you could do it all over again?

    oh yeah I forgot you are from Baltimore - and you are not an Orioles fan?
    I liked them when I watched baseball although the team I really liked were the Red Sox

    Musician (if I lived in a different country)
    Physicist/Astronomer (If I was living here)

    Have you ever performed anything in public - could be 25 or 2500 people?
