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.

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.

Q: What do you get the most satisfaction from?

Posted 02 October 2002 - 08:07 AM
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.

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

Favourite Colour: Grey
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

Oh, I see. People in New York City often don't own cars as well. In fact, I owned a car when I lived in NYC and it was a TOTAL pain in the neck.Originally posted by Loomis
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.

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.
