Personal facts I have no influence or no intention to change:

• Born : Exactly 45 years after Wright brothers took in the air at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina with the first powered plane (and less than 20 years before the first man stood on the Moon).
• Sex : yes (male - since I was born)
• Height : 178 cm
• Weight : 72 kg
• Nationality : Australian (but some Australians consider me Czech - living in Australia, you may think whatever you like)
• Hair : Gone with the wind (they transformed into beard)
• Allergies : Harassment and intimidation (some people have mastered it to perfection)
• Favorite food : Potato  cakes (called "trincky" in my lost world), chicken, sauerkraut, pork
• Favorite drink : Beer (remember, I was born in the Czech Republic)
• Hobby : Designing, building and flying model airplanes. In fact I am fascinated by every flying object whether it can be identified or not. Woodwork in general - I love making chips from wood. Digital imaging.
• Sport : Flying model airplanes, cycling, bush walking.

  Personal facts I could have changed:
