Well after 7 odd years of saying he would do it, he seems to have made good on his promise!

Honestly, I was hoping that this would be news about something bad happening to that horrible other uncle of yours.

But that's really cool, you should be proud.

He's also a huge Pele fan, has met him twice with signed soccer balls, and books. But honestly, this uncle is the life of a party!

Hehheh, I couldn't help smiling while I read the article. I like to read uplifting things like this, and to think that this happened to a person so close to one of our formers... Give my best wishes to your uncle!

Dude, that's pretty cool. I have an uncle that was a torch bearer for the 96 games...but that's nothing to this. He has soccor balls signed by Pele too?! Kick ass.

Very cool man, very cool.

Hah, that is great. That inspires me to get off my ass and do what I've always wanted to do!

On second thought, maybe later.

Dude, I've TOTALLY had fish and chips in Bendigo!! I wonder if I ate at your uncle's shop! I really have no idea how likely that is--I was there in Bendigo in March and June of 2000, and don't remember the name of the fish & chips shops I ate in--but how cool would that be!!!!

And, of COURSE, that is SOOOOOOOO AWESOME that his songs are being considered. Que terrifico!!

Lets see, in 2000 you say? Hmmm, chances are you did eat in his shop, but at that point he would have sold it to someone else. He really did have the corner of the market in Bendigo though, two shops and a video store!

Yep he's been writting them for years. Most though are dirty/cheeky lymrics though (all in Greek). Very funny stuff.
