never implied you were a street boy, i am/was is all. i know that story of yours very well, lived it for a long time and impressed you are one of the few who got out and got it together, family sounds like mine, my arsehole of a father is on the phone at the moment and i hate him and am saying 'yes'' and 'no' as i write this, he decided he had a son when he got sick, he was 73 then, three years ago, its a pain.., you know. he used to say he didn't have a son.., you figure???

hell i think you deserve this more than me so now you are a street kid, with a good job with a great girl and now an award;

all in fun mate, take care...
