G'day kiwis,how are you all? yeah I thought why not another roll call, but this time a little different,like this time a bit more about yourself. What is your other interests, work, hobbies, what you like to do, favourite books,movies,tv etc..remember nothing to do with chess. What you like to do in the future ?

As you can read: I am now a "Teacher Aid" ... But my realy trade is an Electro-Technic-Motor-Rewinder (Sort of Electrician +++)! Anyway I do like those ours better so I can combine it with Soccer-Trainer/Coach/Manager... Also still like to play myself, so if the opportunity is there watch me playing... I don't know what I can do better , Soccer/Chess/Klaverjas(cardgame)... I like it all!
Interesting Paul, do you ever played Piquet, Cribbage,Canasta etc.(card game) ?

I should be a grandmother, but my daughter is a bit slow off the mark...I'm passionate about Music and the Universe!...Getting to be pretty fond of chess!
Well is about time I put my little story in.In the past I've played cricket,swimming,running, read alots, still do.When I was 13-14 I've joined up with the Mt.Aspiring tramping club that was good. Did my plumbing apprenticship in Dunedin then moved to Darwin (my uncle was up there) keeped working as a plumber then moved down to Perth (no work,on and off) now I am a cleaner,10 yrs now, want to get out! Watched alots of tv,chess.com has taken over the tv and reading.On the TV still watch Heroes,The Unit,House,love the british drama Wire in the Blood at the moment.Reading, before Stephen King,now mainly detective Inspector Morse,Touch of Frost,Chief Inspector Bank(Peter Robinson) but also read true war/army books I like the SAS,and sniper,got a good book for my father day The Gallopoli Snipers haven't read it yet and my fav.movie The Shooter,Enemy at the Gate and Ilike other good action movie Die Hards etc.
I enjoy doing bushwalking especially on the Bibbulmun Track which run from Perth all the way down to Albany (969km) I am doing it in sections, I've already started from Albany gone as far as Walpole gonna do some more of it in April hopefully.
Three sports I have been enjoying are Tenpin bowling my avg 145 my best avg. when I was in a tournament in Sydney it was 170+. Then been trying out Archery for 2/3 yrs but I stopped for the last 2 yrs so got to try and get back into it somehow.Thirdly Orienteering, done country and metro, I really enjoyed the metro. My sons want to do it so we are taking it up again in November.
I've got retinitis pigmentosa also I am deaf (born deaf) only wear one hearing aid. I procrastinate badly, have to fix that up shortly haha.
I loved other games like backgammon, card games (piquet,cribbage,canasta etc.), dominoes, especially partnership
In future I wanted to do the Kokoda track/trail.I wanted to be some kind of a activity teacher teaching children on games (classic games).
There that my little biography ! any question ? haha catch u later !
To Frankiek, nowadays we have is... Aids,ices and raps and that is crap !
