I had a work colleague who claimed that he had a crazy uncle on his mother's side, you know the one every family has, called Richard Harden. Now he claimed that uncle Richard was in the military and soon wanted to retire from senior ranks. Apparently, above a certain rank one retains the rank moniker into civilian life. Thus he intended to retire as Major Richard Harden. I have not been able to verify this but if true, a life time went into setting this one up.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

He's a figment of my imagination Prof. Rod doesn't have a brother called Roland as far as I know, but he should have done.

A guy I once worked with was called Tom Bowler - this time a true story.

Mrs Baggers has a close friend Theresa Greene, yes, true. When I first met her I had lots of fun... she, not so much.

All those years ago I played footy with a bloke called Warren Bunney.
Real good bloke too.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.
