Of course, I made that up. | Did you? I was sure I read about him one day when I was waiting in the aisle at the supermarket... sounds like the same guy, except the one in the paper was 9'2" and was half-ant or half-gnat, something like that... |

I bet his lunges would be pretty good. | |

On a serious note I'm talking about manliness, something Aussies and possibley one day [buwahaha] Kiwis have in spades! If you've ever seen some of the stuff that happens in Australian rules Footy, yeesh!

| Aussie rules is a bunch of homosexual thin guys wearing short shorts and sleeveless shirts playing in a CIRCULAR field while wearing gloves. Can you get any gayer?
I dislike rugby, but its still better than aussie rules. American Football is a pussies game, helmets? Shoulder pads? Grow up. Rugby players don't need them, neither do you.
Yes, Edmund Hillary was a kiwi. He went to my primary school  (where you go in NZ untill you're about 10/11, i cant remember)

I've taken lessons from that 9'2" half-gnat man. They weren't so much "interesting" as they were irritating. Let's just say the guy doesn't have much of an attention span, and leave it at that.

| My coach is Chinese. He might not be able to beat your coach up on his own, but he has 167,365,900 relatives back home with the same last name. | |

| I thought that last time I checked in.
IN fact I've never seen much of interest in that newsgroup. I've always thought that this and the UK forum were much better.
While I'm in this thread. My coach can beat up your coach because:
1 He's Scottish
2 he's a big guy
3 There's a reason that the SAS are hard; see reason one...

If you've ever seen some of the stuff that happens in Australian rules Footy, yeesh! | If Aussie rules Footy is your measure, I believe you're confusing "manly" with "stupid"--something the Aussies do on a regular basis, most likely caused by having more stupid men than manly men.
My coach, BTW, is Superman.
