Jan is recovering from her Peruvian adventure…albeit slowly. She has sworn off overseas trips and indeed she and the Rock will be at the 2008 Christmas. This scoop has been accompanied by advice to John and Jan from me (Glenn) re the cultural shifts that have occurred since they last did Woodlawn…
The days when the brothers senior could pre arrange sporting results have finished…in their heyday they could fix scores, not just results.
The reputations of both Grant and Stuart have been found to be considerably exaggerated. Bullet performers remain Brendan, Ash, Daniel and Harry.
The need for late night censorship has arisen, Glenn and Jake will now have to preview post midnight acts.
The older ‘married with children’ cousins have been kicked out of the ‘cousins’ fraternity for lack of commitment to the usual meaningless frivolity. Daniel has officially gazumped Jake as the nominal leader.
The tennis competition has climbed through the roof in terms of quality. The final between Peter Doohan and Rowan was of a frightening and off putting standard. Lizzie just keeps getting better, and watch out for Cal and not just his post match antics.
The family is going ‘to the dogs’ both literally and figuratively and the ‘cousins’ beat the odds, a new tradition.
The quality of the clean up at the end has improved dramatically (and the 20s to 30s have been taking up the mantle in that regard) yet more and more clothes and discarded Christmas gifts are left behind.
The rendition by the lads of ‘it’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long’ prompted the promise of retaliation in 2008. Rumour has it a tune from “Menopause the Musical” might find its way to performance.

Have to say, not fair. I did a couple of 6am'ers with the 'new breed' of cousins and I ended up getting my arse chewed out by my wife, and no respect from the cousins. What does a bloke need to do?

Come on Glen, where is the love?
It's hard to know where to start with this. Stuart and I will, of course, be defending our honour in 2008. Sure, Brendan, Ash and company can make a big splash on a particular night but CAN THEY GO THE DISTANCE? Post-midnight pornography is in the safe hands of Glenn and Jake? Somehow I don't think that's going to cheer our guardian angels up much. Oh, and Glenn, for god's sake learn how to fold your collar down so your tie can't be seen from the back. Mum would be mortified!
Is that a BALD patch, Glen?
I can't speak for Grant, but I have always been a model citizen and fine role model for my children and neices and nephews. I have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner then quietly retire for the night so that I can get up early for my morning constitutional. I wouldn't even know what the likes of Brendan & Co get up to - but it sounds like trouble to me!
