My favourite holiday destination is Seoul. Okay, here's my question: if you were to learn another language, which would you choose?

I speak English and German, so that's out of the question. I also speak a little Dutch (only a little). I would say Japanese, Russian, or Swedish. Heck, I probably would learn them all.

Okay. What is your favourite flavour of ice cream? Mine is raspberry, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

Dr T. why is it all the bad things happen to you involving men with loaded guns? Anyway, the closest to that my family have had is that a while back the radio was stole, they also had 2 nuts from the tyre taken off, with a third hanging off. My mum noticed it when she got home and thought the car didn't drive right. When she noticed 2 nuts were missing and 1 was half out, she carefully took it to the garage and had some new one's put in.

Oh the ice-cream! I don't really have a favourite, although I do like most things lemon. I like Lemon Torte, Lemon Merangue (?) and lemon flavoured ice-cream. I do like others but I suppose to answer your question I would say lemon. My question? If you could be in a Bond film, other than Bond who/what kind of character would you play? I suppose I would like to play a villian or even a henchman but have a feature that stood out (like Jaw's teeth, Oddjob's hat, Tee Hee's claw).

I would either like to be Q because of all the gadgets. It would be fun to mess around with them all and be able to "test" all the cars!

What languages do you speak at present? I speak English, German, and a little Dutch.

These men with loaded guns I've posted about aren't criminals, but soldiers. Only the tyre slashing incident could be described as bad, but that was a geniune mistake on their part (well on the part of one of them).

They're allowed to walk anywhere they want where I live and they used to use our gardens (and probably other people's too) as a short cut. So them walking through my gardens is something I saw on more than one occasion.

No, I have never been thumped on the head a few times by a drunken lout after seeing TWINE.

What hasn't happened to you Dr. Tynan. First, soldiers walk around your yard on a regular basis and then you get thumped after seeing TWINE. You should write a book about your life. :)

I can't think of a question at the moment.

Favourite Colour: Blue, Zencat was nice enough to term the one I like too, DAD Blue!

Embarassing moment: Ha! Now this is a good one. Yes Jim, it's related to a girl. It was a few years back now and I was on holiday in a little place called Mildura (as he lives there, Freemo is both insulted and smiling at the same time :)). Anyway, it was New Years Eve and as Mildura has a great night life (read: one main street where everyone goes) I walked up and down it. Of course, my parents were in toe, behind me, being somewhere in my teens I was too cool to walk with them. So there's this pretty blonde in front of me, I say pretty, I mean damn shaggable. And, as I do, I look at her. And she looks back, and keeps looking even as I walk past her. So at this stage, she's standing next to my parents, whom she hasn't connected with me. So she's nice enough to turn to her friends and say "God, I'd shag him" [I say shag, but the word beginning with F would only censor here]. So yes, I'm mortified, and got one of those awful lectures a few hours later from my mother. You know the type? Well from dad, I think it was a pat on the back.

Favourite Film (non Bond): Casablanca

Favourite Musical Aritsts: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Count Basie and Jamiroquai

Ethnic Background: Maltese mother, English father

Favourite Animated Movie: A Bugs Life

Favourite Non-Bond Author: Stephen Kings (particularily Hearts In Atlantis)

Favourite Actor: Anthony Hopkins tie Hugh Grant

Favourite Actress: Keira Knightley

Breakfast: Sultana Bran

Sandwich Filling: Peanut butter (love the stuff!)

Horror Movie: Harry Potter. I wasn't scared, but I was horrified at the prospect of how **** the film was.

Coffee: At a cafe. With a cute girl :)

Snails: I used to like to step on them when I was a kid. Would I consider eating one? How much would you pay me to do so?

Holiday destination: Depends. London and places with a nice beach, good surf, good snorkling and good sun!

Car Ripped Off At Gunpoint: no

New Language: Love to learn French or German

Favourite Ice Cream Flavour: Chocolate Peppermint

Bond Movie Role: Bond, James Bond

Languages Spoken: Queens-English (Australian English is a horrid addition to this world), Maltese (swear words only :))

What pets do you have?: Goldfish, believe it or not. I had a pet dingo once, her name was Tan. Got her when I was five and I had to have her put down last year after she had a stroke. I haven't got over that yet, so no pets for me for quite a while now.

Guilty pleasures: I really can't answer that one sorry!

What do you get the most satisfaction from?: What are these forums rated again? Okay I'll be careful. Women and success in various things.

My question:

Car You Want (And Can Seriosuly Afford)?: An Audi TT

Embarassing moment:
Well, this one's quite funny. On my mate's 14th birthday 7 odd years ago there was (me, lach, greg and sam), being the young "hard" fella's the four of us were, and considering another one of our friends parents who lived 4 houses up was away, we decided the 4 of us that it was time for our introduction into the strong alcohol... We started off quite harmlessly it seemed at the time with a glass of vodka and lift each (the vodka filled up a 1/3 of the highball glass) we wondered why it tasted a little strong. Anyway after that, we decided to head out for a walk and drink as we went (august in Oz isn't that cold) and so since the vodka was finished. We opted for opening our mates dad's 2 litre bottle of Jack Daniels to celebrate Sam's 14th. Well we hit the road and didn't have anything to mix the JD with so resorted to swigging it from the 2ltr bottle. By the time we got to a girls house from school (who was quite a looker and friend of ours) who lived a few blocks away, we were beginning to feel what we called "slightly drunk," (read VERY drunk) and our mate Lach confessed his feelings for this girl and EXACTLY how he would like to let her know. (R18+). After 5 minutes of this, we proceeded to the park a few hundred meters from her house were the 4 of us kept drinking and ran around like idiots for what seemed like half an hour, but was really 5-10 minutes. Anyway we left, got back to a walkway near Sam and Greg's house were the 4 of us had just finished swigging the JD straight, well... Lach went down big style and greg passed out unconcious, I was left looking at the stars for a while. At the same time all I can hear is lach calling out "I WANT MY MUMMY" at the top of his voice for 10 minutes, then everything went blank and I remember a torch.... Cut to next morning and i'm at home asleep.

Lachlan's insistant calling out for his mother had resulted in concered neighbours calling the police, whom after arriving quickly threw me into the back of a "paddy wagon" and drove me home. Greg nearly died and Sam's father who's b'day it was spent the night looking after him (his dad's a DR.) Lachlan is to this day trying to live down his nickname of "mummy's boy" and Im stuck with the "paddy van man" title. But after spiliting 2 ltrs of JD straight and having alcohol poisioning one good thing came about, I don't get hung over anymore :)

Well, I guess the main reason why I haven't driven for such a long time is that for the past few years I've lived mostly in the centre of London, where owning a car can be a real liability, and I've also spent a lot of time overseas.

I've never set off a fire alarm at school, then again my school is meant to be the best boy's school in Newham (London). Although now part of a mixed school (the same boy's school and it's partner 6th form with an all girls school) are both one of the best at getting A lever results in Newham. I don't think many would dare do such a thing, they wouldn't last long in either well respected schools!

Q: Which Bond song would you sing at a karaoke?

I guess I might have to sing Tomorrow Never Dies or even The Living Daylights as the others I'm not 100% on the lyrics and also I have a deep voice so can't get too high, although I can just about do Crow's TND!

Bond song I would sing at a karoake? All of them, except "Jump up" and "Three Blind Mice". The chances of me singing at a karoake are slim.

Question - Have you ever had any of your Bond posessions stolen?
