    More daylight in the evening is a great idea, seems silly to waste good daylight hours by sleeping.

    Do your farmers complain about daylight saving, or is that a uniquely Kiwi thing?

    Not sure if they complain, but that appears to be the only reason that we still have daylight saving in the UK these days.

    I like it as it is something unusual, but many would like to see it scrapped.

    Oh yer....

    I am really sorry guys. Would forget my head these days if it was not screwed on. Crazy times.

    Have you ever run your own business or if not ever dreamed of doing so and what would it be?

    Yes. I have had a landscape design business many many many years ago, and have run my own swim schools and coaching. When I win lotto I plan to open a hobby shop, selling kitsets, rc's science kits etc - all the stuff we had as kids, that many kids still want, but is hard to find. It will be called 'Static Motion" and I have already designed all of the marketing and signage for it (just need the finances to make it happen )

    What hobbies etc did you do when you were young, that you would like to still be doing now?

    Heyyyyyy.... I'm still young.....
    I loved to go to the theatre. Now I don't go at all.
    I was interested in painting, I used to buy and study albums of art. I'm not anymore. A few years ago I bought an entire set of such albums but until now I didn't open even one of them.
    I was a passionate Steaua fan and used to go to the stadium being almost the only woman on the stand. I still love the team but I won't go to watch them.
    Etc. Etc. Etc. I used to be a modern person and I become a boring lazy fart. I blame it on my job.

    What's the dumbest first name in your opinion?

    Yes, that name has to be right up there.

    Yes, I'm on the board and an officer of a couple of non profit organizations, but haven't run for public office. I'd never make it in public office. They don't like people calling stupid stuff "stupid stuff".

    If you could make one, and only one, policy decision for your country, what would it be?

    In my case it would be a decision for a country called Absurdistan, the place on earth where nothing is normal and according to the rules. Since corruption at all levels-the main plague of this country-will never be erradicated, I'd propose a populist thing, a working week of only 4 days.

    Do you open the door of the car for your lady?

    PS. What exactly does mean
    "run for office in anything. Government down to local action group?"
    I don't get it.
