  1. Oh I’m all in for this one, I remember well when my daughter and her friends surprised me for my birthday by taking me to see Manpower with the fabulous Jamie Durie. He jumped off the stage removed his white shirt, came and sat on my lap in his white Y fronts, but when he got up to go back on stage he slipped in his blessed little white cotton sock and nearly ended up as a table decoration. Have to say despite his mishap we had a ball.😂
