Get out! You've "broken someone's heart"... No!
Yes, I was using sarcasm. :)
Thanks again Muzbot. Why are you opening up?

A regular action man.. :-) And soft hearted too.. like the "holding lambs" and No 48... You sound like a pretty good catch..

Campbell said...

61.5% - not bad Muz.
Excuse my ignorance, but what's D&D (No.65)?
Also, No.112, did you change someone's mind TO have kids or NOT to have kids?

Monty said...

WOW! You've done HEAPS mate! Too much to comment on via this! HOWEVER, I will say I'm a fan of your alphbetized CD collection - I thought I was the only weirdo who did this! lol

an impressive collection - I body surfed with dolphins once, at Cabarita - scared me too, until I realised the bloody big shadow wasn't a shark, but a dolphin catching the same wave as me.
