    Gena… I’ve worried about your SuperBru nickname.. Bad Gena… sounds like you have some Bad Genes which you would like to hide away… hahaha

    Have you got extra little hands on your elbows, or 6 fingers on one hand and 4 on the other hand.. or do you have a “Waterkoppie”… or something similar that we do not know about?

    By the way, it’s just a joke, don’t take me seriously at all… please!

    The name stuck with me since study days when I was a bit wild.
    Where I can I change it these days, the drugs seems to work = wife & kids

    The Gena come from my name Eugene, nickname from friends
