13. What’s the best website you’ve ever visited, and why?
Come on. I was in the Captain Cook pub back in 1999 when someone in our company talked about setting up xpatloop. It was not given much support. But I knew it was a good idea. Oh and www.celticquicknews.com. And my old place of work in Edinburgh www.youngscot.org

14. Who do you admire the most, and why?
My mum and dad. They brought up 5 of us to be decent folks. My old boss Marcus Liddle. A truly great individual who taught me so much. And Zsuzsanna Bozo. If this young lady were to be mayor of Budapest there would be no stopping this great city.

I like the variety of places to visit and the people you can meet. No day is ever the same. I dont really like going to the Post Office. Can drive me to drink.

16. What has made the biggest impact on your life so far, and why?
Tough one. I have been fortunate to work alongside so many people that are prepared to go that extra mile to help people less fortunate than most of us. It is always a solid reminder to me that there is more to life. The voluntary activities that The Irish Hungarian Business Circle deliver to support the God orphanage are truly special.

17. If you won USD 30 million, what would you do with the money?
I have no idea. Not sure I would need that much. I would like to help renovate Zsuzsas mums house in Zabar. Maybe sponsor a race at the Hungarian Derby to support the IHBC.

Hire Margit Sziget for a huge childrens summer picnic. How much have I left.........

Caledonia
