What was top of your Christmas wish list this year - excluding world peace?
Bono told me we can Make Poverty History (I've got the text), but that's a work in progress. For now I'd be happy with a sunny summer.
As a wee 'un, what was the one present you always wanted but never got?
A puppy.
Do you still want it?
In a few years maybe.
Defining moment of 2006, for you personally:
Buying my first house.
Most-overrated thing/person/topic of the year:
The expected house price slump.
Reason?
See above.
Album of the year:
Toss up between Loop's The Green Room 005: Whanau, and the Killers' Sam's Town.
Movie/DVD of the year:
Out of the Blue.
Person of the year:
Sam Morgan (and his family). Not necessarily for the 200 million obvious reasons, but because he and his family seem like good, hard-working people who deserve their success.
The most important lesson you learned this year was ...
When all your friends leave on their OE, you don't have many friends left.
New Year's resolution for 2007:
Make some more friends.
Your prediction for 2007's next big thing ...
They were pretty big in 2006, but 2007 will be the All Blacks' year. You'll be able to watch them conquer the world in France, live and exclusive, on 3 Sport.
