Yes I have my faults and after re-reading some of my post I also come across arrogant I will admit and I am not a shamed to admit it ... But I am a great friend and will always tell things to your face, I am not the type of person to stab friends or even enemies in the back. And as an Aussie I like to take the piss as we say, so please do not take everything I say to heart.
