VERY proud of my (step) daughter.

One of the highest at her school, got given a grant to sign to a specific uni before she even got her school grades. Did REAL well at uni, finished her law degree early and did French and Spanish at the same time.

After uni she did a placement with the federal police to complete her degree, now she is possibly the only graduate in AU to get a current internship with the United Nations / Cambodian Government in Cambodia at the Khmer Rouge War Crime trials.

She was supposed to be there for 3 months but they have asked her to stay for 6.

Hopefully in July or August we will fly out and see her there. (Nothing to do with me wanting to see the Tomb Raider movie temples, honest!)

She certainly follows her mother in her passion for a legal career! Her mother is over a legal team of 6 others overseeing a $70-billion investment fund.

I'm not short of legal advice but it's hard to win an argument against them!

LOL, I actually DO get pocket money off my wife! My wages are less than she pays in tax! so she gives me some "pocket money" for fuel, going out, holidays etc. Not what I expected at 54 but I'm not complaining!!

(Step) Son's 21st birthday this week, having a bit of a do tonight.

We thought (for about 2 seconds) about having a party at home, then decided... Pub!
I think he has about 60 friends coming, the pub has closed off an area for us.
Ordered 4 large platters at $110 each and put $1000 over the bar to start it off.
Pretty sure I'll be home in bed before it ends!

He's a good lad. Still at uni but works part time. He arranged to swap one term of his Uni degree with a term at San Hose uni in San Francisco USA so he's certainly motivated. 

I never wanted kids, I had "the snip" as soon as I could and never intended to find a wife where I'd get an "instant family" but these 2 really are good kids and will go far in life. Perhaps it's better having kids that don't have my DNA.... LOL

Sounds like a good night ahead Tony...... do think you should show the youngsters how to pace yourself and not get down to the 'canvas' in the first two hours  :salute:

It was a good night. I'm home by 10:30pm and we left the youngsters to it.
I closed the bar tab at $1306 so someone will have a headache tomorrow.

Only embarrassing moment was a forum member from here saying "Hi Tony"
and shaking my hand and me standing there like an idiot and my mind going blank for a moment....  :embarassed:

My older son (27 years, M.Sc) got a "full size" motorcycle driving licence today. He starts his career with our old Kawasaki ER-5, I think it's a perfect training bike. My 14 can be too heavy for a first bike. :rolleyes:

My older son again.. Works now in the Lappeenranta University of Technology, and makes there research considering artificial neural networks.
I fool asked him: what you are doing in fact?
He tried to answer to me(~one hour) and I didn't understand anything...
At the same time I was proud and felt me stupid....
