The old gal refused to budge. She had no doubt seen the maniacal glint (tamed but temporarily) in my Aunt's eyes, and she obviously wasn't going to trust in the occasion... It's not just the Italians! And the French take the cake for touch parking! My goodness, I don't know how he does it, but my boyfriend manages to park his car repeatedly in spots 10cm too short. To my pleas of "but you're bumping the bumper bar!" the only reply I receive is "But why iz it uh called ze bumper bar if it iz not uh made to be bumped?" He was reciprocally in stitches at any parking efforts he saw in Australia though. Hmm...

Why do you do it to us!?! You're right, that was even more painful than the figure skating video! I feel considerably dumber than I was 3 minutes ago, even though I kinda knew what to expect because I'd read about this guy on BBC. The thing is... I'm pretty sure my Sydney-sider brother is his exact doofus spitting image. I hear from the Richard Glover/YouTube grapevine though that the latest "parents revenge on teens" craze is the song about sorta dunno nothing...
