5 things you probably didn't know about me

Thanks to Mick and Lee for pinging me on this stuff:
1. In 1970, or thereabouts, I won tickets from Go-Set magazine to see the first big international acts to visit Australia after a hiatus of a few years. It was a triple bill of Free, Manfred Mann and Deep Purple. I also went to Sunbury in 1974 but that's another story.
2. I bought Alan Watt's "The Way of Zen' when I was 15. I've still got the copy. It had a profound effect on the way I viewed the world.
3. My youngest son and I are season ticket holders at Oki Stadium home of the mighty dragons. I grew up near Hurstville in the St George district. St George have appeared in five grand finals during the past twenty or so years. Losing all five. I've been to everyone of them. Sigh.
4. I did badly at High School and had to do my HSC again at Gymea Technical College before going to the University of Sydney where I did an honours thesis on the very practical topic of "The concept of prudence in Aristotle, Machiavelli and Burke".
5. I met my wife at the National Press Club in Canberra in 1982 after attending an Industrial Relations Society dinner. It was a lot less romantic then it sounds.

I ping Kate, Michael, Mark, David and Gerry

Trevor,

At least the Mighty Dragons have won in your lifetime! It's certainly been a lean trot.

Surely the National Press Club is Canberra's version of the Eiffel Tower? ;-)

Second time I've been pinged; will get to it asap.
