So the step counters are not always accurate.

Work gave us counters to promote "healthy lifestyle choices".
I found that wearing it on the left wrist, and resting the hand on the RoadRanger gearstick gave me 9000 steps from Warwick to Brisbane Port, and 13000 on the way back. (That climb up Cunningham's Gap really wears you out!)

Tut, tut, you should know better, Don.

Cheating the numbers is only cheating yourself.

Like playing golf and under counting - you’re still **** at golf.

My kids continue to amaze me.
Today the Headperson of the local school came to see me.
My first question was "What have they done?"
No, not been playing up.
Apparently the school is doing a video to promote Doomadgee & the school & one of our boy's has been selected to be the "Host" on the video.
According to the Head this is because he is, articulate, well mannered, has a lovely smile & is willing & able to learn & remember his lines.
I asked if they were sure they had the right kid?
When at home he hardly says a word, never remembers his manners, yes, he does have a nice smile on the rare occasions he uses it & he can't even remember to put his dirty clothes in the wash!

How come kids are always better at school or when on trips or visiting than when at home?
I think this one must have a spit personality!!

I'm not even going to speculate how you know this in such detail!

may or may not have won a "most steps" contest on a trip involving trucks and athletes. I just told em its becuase I have a manual shift and I wear the counter on my left leg.

I think the term you're looking for is "street angel, home devil", Paul.
I recall McQuillen, I thought he was pleasant, polite and totally awestruck; in brief, a very likable fellow.

Yes, the 3 boys did find Brisbane a bit aweinspiring & intimidating.
McQuillen was my main man on the GPS, not that it helped much.
