Have you ever played Age of Empires 2?I have. Taken up plenty of my time during previous school and uni semesters.
Do the Chickens plot?Who told you about this. You not supposed to know.
Do the Chickens Scheme?Of course they do, you think they lay eggs all the time.
Are the Chickens Organised?Completely, I expect a revolt in the next few years.
What Sort of Pies will Mrs Tweedey's Home Made Chicken Pies Inc produce?I think they will have a nice mixture of peas and mushroom. Hoepfully they put enough sauce.

Favourite James Bond movie?Hmm, not so sure, never really been a big fan, ill say, Tomorrow Never Dies.
Is it true Scouse Roar left the A-League grand final at half time of Extra Time?Hahahaha, no. I saw the guy walking out the stadium after the game. Couldn’t catch up with him though. He was on some high.
Do you think that palestine should be given the freedom to put the Israeli population in exactly the same position they're in, just like 60 years ago?I think I made my stance on this clear one. Im a supporter of Palestine and find that any Israel rule is illegal and not justified. To answer the question simple, Id say yes.
Do you just hate the jews for what they've done?I don’t hate the jews. Zionism is I think the problem and the Jews have fallen foul of being generalised.
Why Zimbabwe?Ive often thought about this. Like why did my grandparents choose Zimbabwe of all places? I guess they just hopped on a boat and landed there. I must say though, im so damn lucky it was Zimbabwe. Was the greatest decision my grandparents made and the country is so great. The landscape is like nothing you will see, but I guess that each country has its own features.
Can I has biscuit?If there are any left when im done.

Will i be the first forumite to be banned from this thread?Didn’t know you could get banned from threads, but id think youd be close to it.

“Ok forum server, see this computer, it is not allowed to post in this thread, are we clear? Right now lets get out of this crap”
Would this thread still exist with out me?I wonder what this says about the other forumers.
Do you like Formula One?I couldn’t watch every lap, but I do follow it to see who is winning and stuff every so often.
Who is your favourite driver?Everyone used to love Schumacher, but now I guess I just want to see the likes of Webber and Button to do well. Dunno why them, but yeah.
What's your favourite F1 track on the 2011 World Circuit. Silverstone, if that is still part of the circuit.

Kill Paris, Fuck Ivana, Marry Kim
Do you see what i see?I doubt it very much, i can see some hot chicks playing football.
Opinion on Don Bradman?An average of 99 is something amazing. People say he only played 24 matches, but that’s more special. He never had the chance to play as many games as they do now, so who knows what he could have done had he had that chance to play way more.

Where's the strangest thing you've squirted a tomato sauce bottle?Im assuming you mean, strangest food, hmmm, id have to say ice cream.

Worst injury you have ever sustained?Not sure if it counts as an injury, but one day we were playing cricket, my bro hit the ball over the wall, so I climbed onto the side gate to see where it went (this is back in Zimbabwe, where most walls and gates have spikes or some protections on them) and it was a wet day, so I slipped and my arm got caught on a spike. I was just there dangling with this spike in my underarm, damn painful.
If it’s a proper sports injury, I messed up my shoulder playing goalkeeper. I was out for about 4 months.
Tea or Coffee, or both?Tea. Cant stand the coffee taste.
Regular milk, skim milk or soy?omega, full cream, folate, or folate with extra dolap….naaa, just regular.
What do you think of people who go into Maccas, order a large big mac meal, and a bottle of water instead of coke cause they're 'on a diet'.? Idiots. If you going to maccas, no point in trying to eat a healthy option.
Favourite beer?Don’t drink, but if I did, id probably drink the ones sponsoring football.
Favourite spirit?So yeah, I don’t drink…
Favourite gun?Hmmmm, cant say im a gun expert, but I always imagined that if i had to use something, especially in the army, id like to be a sniper.
Have you ever considered joining the army?No. They do through the recruitment ads in your face though.
Have you ever considered joining the police force?I actually have, but then I just forget about it few days later.

What's the longest period of time you've "played" cricket for without touching a ball/bat?I think it was about 30 mins. I was fielding at long on. The batsmen decided they needed to block for a long time and our captain never thought to bring me inside the circle until I brought it to his attention. We got a wicket straight after.
