Ask me anything about me

[Trevor]

Do you recall the first mention of your underpants on this forum?  How did the legend get started?

I'd have to go back through nearly four years of posts to find that out but the legend started with people staggering away from me, holding their noses and trying not to puke, saying "Dude, is that you?" and I would say "No, it be my undies."

Do you have any clue what an awesome asset you are to this forum?

Awwww......

Considering what a bother my ass and its' covering garments can be, I'm glad of this.

     How did you feel about apartheid?

Alan, I was born in what was then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) on September 11, 1967 and I grew up during a civil war. My first experience of apartheid occurred when I came to South Africa in 1987 to study here www.tut.ac.za and on a class outing, my colleague Abram couldn't ride the bus because of stupid racist laws. My response was to tell the driver to stop so that I could get off the bus as I wasn't prepared to ride while Abram had to walk. That was not good: I remember the driver swearing at me.

Almost every country in the world has had some sort of stupid racial law on its' books ~ South Africa made it the law of the land. The apartheid laws were not wrong: they were inhuman.

     Thank you; I've met South Africans in the past, and I've often wanted to ask them this question, but I was afraid of offending. (You did say ANY question.)

     I've never understood racism, or why those who practice it don't see how self-destructive it is.

     You got a beer comin' from me, laddie.

Thanks Alan: there are some people in this country that wouldn't appreciate a question like that as they're still living in the past ~ much of my birth country's people are that way too ~ and it's time that we all moved on.

You order the beers: I will pay for them.

How often do you vacuum your house?

How often do you vacuum your house?

I have a small garden flat (1.5 bedrooms) so I vacuum twice a week. Amazing what the extra long pipe manages to bring out from under the bed.....

I had three questions; but I decided two of them were better answered in person, in an actual conversation.  So I guess we'll never know.     

The third is: How's your mum?

By all means ask them: I won't be embarrassed at all. 

The third is: How's your mum?

Thanks for asking: her doctor said that she had heart trouble and put her in hospital: the cardiologist gave her a full physical and an angio gram. After getting the results, he told her that he didn't know what she was there for as there was nothing physically wrong with her and that for someone in her seventies, she was remarkably healthy and active.

Wonderful!
