Human life is very fragile. When man started life in the African jungle there was no running water, shops, proper housing or any of the things that we are accustomed to these days. You were exposed to the elements. You had to find shelter and food ...
What is the most adventurous thing that you have ever done? That is normally a question I ask new people I meet for the first time to see if they are adventurous and at what level. I found that adventure means different things to different people. For me adventure means getting out of my comfort zone, trying new things, meeting new people, travelling to new places in addition to the adrenaline-pumping activities like motorbike riding, jumping out of planes, surfing ...
Not long ago I wrote an article about how internet dating messes you up. Well, the weirdest thing happened to me ...
It was that time of the year again for the spear and beer festival a thing my best mate Bobcat and I did every year where we go spearfishing and beer drinking (Cider for me!

We have a bug with one of our systems for which I logged a case as there is no permanent fix for the problem. My guess is that it will be a software upgrade with a version which is not released to the public yet...

I am starving. The schnitzel is so big it hangs off the plate. You need a friend to help you eat it. It's like the chicken is on steroids. Whenever a mate is over from interstate we always take them for the schnitzel challenge ...
