The story aketus relayed to Ben revolved around my having <strong>a non-existent brother<\/strong>, who was described as being both an ex-bikie, an ex-con, and as having a great deal of love for his family. Anyway, the \u2018evidence\u2019 for this \u201cbrother\u201d was to be based on the non-existent minutes taken at a non-existent meeting of a non-existent group, the \u2018Geelong Anarchist Group\u2019\u2026 or \u2018GAG\u2019 for short.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s not quite true[.] [S]ee, way back in January 2005, Andrew posted <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.blogspot.com\/2005\/01\/just-suburban-boy.html\">this<\/a> on his older blog:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Looking after my brother Jamie&#8217;s house this last week-and-a-half, I (re-)discovered an Australian rock classic: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davewarner.com.au\/\">Dave Warner&#8217;s From the Suburbs<\/a><\/strong>!
