Yes. I wonder if he thought out a better version of the Jerilderie Letter while drifting off to sleep one night, but found it all gone by the following morning.

Okay, so now I'm imagining Ned lying on the therapist's couch in full armour. I wonder what Freud would make of that? And as for the little scanner, it'll actually be a chip implanted in your brain, and all you'll have to do each morning is plug yourself in and download your dreams!

Cheers

No, David! The episode with the therapist took place when he was about 15 - a good ten years before he put any armour on!

Ah, drat...never was much good at history! But I can't get rid of that image...

He certainly would have needed a hand up again. It weighed over 40 kg...
