The first thing I have to ask is "Can you keep a secret?"

You would probably answer "Yes"

I would have to reply "So can I"

One question will lead to another and I will cave in and invite all of Eastern Melbourne around to have a BBQ to look at it and pics will be up on the web, journo's will be there.

No sorry I have to restrain myself at this point.

I was the first one to have his kids come screaming into his bedroom due to the sound of cats being neutered, I mean, Bagpipes being strangled at the RSL (it's next door).

Damn Vet's and AJ's. Save the bloody country and they think they can subject us to their musical torture at all hours!!! Isn't there a war somewhere to keep bagpipe man busy???
