Now, I don't Mr Broderick has mentioned this on list, but apparently there
was a bit of a profile on him in possibly the largest national paper, the
Australian, in the last week or two. I got this info second hand; I'm trying
to get my hands on the article. I'm sure there are some amusing gems to be
posted to the list purely for entertainment purposes (everyone elses,
anyway). It seems you are a big man already Damien, even without a shot of
MGH.
