There's only *one* King in Queensland!! Wally "The Emperor" Lewis.

"Here's to Wally Lewis for lacing on a boot
Sometimes he plays it rugged, sometimes he plays it cute
He slices through a backline like a Stradbroke Island shark
There's glue on all his fingers, he's the Emperor of Lang Park"

I've never celebrated m's or f's days since I 'left' home at the age of
15.

It was the MIL that got me onto the 365 day thing about 14 years ago.
She detested mothers day as well. She saw too many 'abandoned' elderly
mothers and fathers that only saw their kids on that day, if ever.

you will reside in the land of morning mists...and you will find your
home,
though it will not be where you left it.
