* How did you think up your user name ?
- I actually cant take credit for this myself. Back when the internet / emails were just starting (that will make me sound old pretty soon I think) I didnt have a clue how to use either and asked one of my mates to create an email account using my initials. Brendan James is my name so Bloody Joke is what he came up with. Apparently it suits me..
* What was your 1st and last Leeds United game ?
- I have no idea what the first Leeds United game I saw was. Probably some time during the 96/97 season I think. As for live, thats a lot easier as I have only been to two. The first being a 1-0 loss to Man Utd in 2003 and the last was a 1-1 draw the following season against Ipswich Town (both at Elland Road). Should I be disappointed I never got to see us the third tier??
* Marooned on a desert island name 6 people you would like for company and why ?
- Would it be wrong of me to name 6 bikini models? Actually that sounds like far too much hard work. Ill take Eddie Vedder and Russell Peters for musical and comedic entertainment. Bear Grylls for security and hunting abilities, Jamie Oliver to cook what he hunts, Jessica Biel for adult entertainment and that dude from Lost that kept pressing the button so the island didnt explode.
* Rock or Pop star which would you be ?
100% without a doubt I would be a rock star. The harder question would have been rock star or sports star as its one that has kept me up many a night despite the fact I am no chance of becoming either. I think I would still be a rock star. I have been to about 50 or 60 concerts in my 27 years and I never get sick of imaging myself on stage. Now which band would I front... hmmmm
* The last thing to make you cry with laughter ?
My fiancee organised a surprise birthday for me last year where we went with all of my mates on a cruise boat trip around Sydney harbour on what was called a comedy boat. The entire night they plied us with alcohol and I was constantly laughing myself to tears. Especially when one of the comedians, without him realising the occupation of half the boat, went into a half rant about police. Shame I cant remember his name as I would highly reccommend him.
* Tell us a secret about yourself ?
I used to play netball...
To maintain my manly front, I also played rugby league for 18 years.
* What makes you really angry ?
I have to admit it doesnt take much for me to get really angry, Im generally pretty passionate. I guess due to some recent issues in the news this year I would say people who criticise police without having any idea about the exact details of what has happened during an incident. In no way am I saying police are above the law and make no mistakes etc. However I think its a favourite pasttime of sections of the public to bag the cops even though they will be the first people to call when a cat knocks over their bin in their backyard and they are too scared to go and inspect what happened.
* Favourite meal ?
Id love to say I am cultured but my tastes are pretty simple (including fast food). Although its hard to go past mum's lamb roast
* Apart from football what do you miss since leaving the UK ?
I read this question and it sounds as if Im an ex-pat Englishman. Considering I have only spent about 40 days in total in the UK I havent experienced everything the UK has to offer. But being anywhere in the UK when the football is on is pretty amazing for a kid from Sydney. Oh yeah, apart from football... um... late night curry shops, oh and newspapers that have boobs, football, boobs, football - awesome
* The greatest Cartoon ever is?
Foghorn Leghorn. Made me laugh since I was a baby and still does to this day, no idea why
* Who was your boyhood hero and do you still have one?
My childhood bedroom walls were usually covered with sports stars with the main one being rugby league player Allan Langer. I was also a pretty big wrestling fan and Bret The Hitman Hart was always my favourite. As I got a bit older I always kept up to date with what the Hitman was doing and when his brother Owen died I actually cried. He was also the reason I had any interest in Canada and I ended up living there with that country still remaining very close to my heart so I guess he had an influence on my life to some extent.
Nowadays anyone who scores for Leeds is my hero for 7 days at least.
* Ever feel like your cheating using a calculator?
No. Does anyone else?
* Do you collect anything or have you ever collected anything?
Im not really a collector I am just not good at chucking things out. I never throw out sports jerseys whether they be teams I played for or teams I support so I guess you could say I have a pretty large collection of those.

I really did wonder where that question came from. Left field was the answer I had in my head.
Sheepy what does your pyschiatrist attribute these cheating feelings to?
