[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

I'm sure I'll regret confessing this, but my son was given the well thought out name of Colin Michael Parker..."CMP". This was not a fast one I pulled over on my wife. She was in on it and has from time to time compared his rare stubborn steaks to the flat nosed relic in the garage.

My daughter Victoria wants to know why we named her after the dower old lady with the crown who's framed picture holds a place of honour in our dining room.
