10 minutes work? It would have taken him hours and hours to reply to the questions, there's 2000 more to go and he's set up a website to answer them on.

Good on him for being witty. I hope someon picks him up as a script writer and he makes a fortune.

Fair play to the chap for making it a charity listing after it had gone viral.

Wasn't trying to be negative about the bloke who made the listing. He's raised over 8 grand for charity and made a fair few people laugh so fair play to the guy.
