[Burtonboy05]

I'm an Australian of Croatian decent. My grandpa escaped the post WWII communist Yugoslavia regime on a fishing vessel through to Italy with around 30 others all of who eventually settled in Australia in the mid 50’s. Another boat was intercepted containing family and friends who were never heard from again all presumed executed. So my existence (and that of my father) is rather lucky as is the case with many of us no doubt. My surname (Mislov) is pretty uncommon globally as far as I can tell, anyway Aussies being Aussies they always shorten ones name and add a's, e's, or o’s for a nick name. I've always been Miz, Mizza, and very occasionally Mizwa. (Mizwa being my 360 gamer tag). Interestingly playing against Americans in online shooters they often think it’s of a Muslim decent and I’ve been called a terrorist on a number of occasions in a lobby lol. However a quick f*ck you mate in a heavy Aussie accent soon sets them strait. Pretty sad really but such is the plight of the unintelligent.

Outside of video games I have a passion for most board riding sports (surfing, skating, wake boarding etc) however it’s snowboarding that is the biggest of all my passions (outside of wife and young children of course lol) and my dream past time. I only ride and wear Burton equipment and my mates quickly picked up on it and started taking the pi$$. While having a refreshing brew post a hard days riding one of them commented here comes Burtonboy with the beers or is your round Burtonboy and it's kind of stuck mainly on snow trips or when hanging with that group of freinds. That too is usually followed with a quick F* you also, but all in good fun! So I use that one also in this forum at least and 5 is my lucky number.
