Yep.
A mate and I have been heading to Freo games together for two decades. It’s his 40th on Saturday, and being a good bloke he asked that in lieu of gifts we instead donate to a bushfire appeal. As it happens, at the same time Freo is holding a bushfire appeal auction featuring a wonderful/ridiculous signed playing card of his favourite player. The net result is he gets his wish of the money going to charity, he is karmically rewarded with a pretty unique gift, and I get to collect some money from a few assembled mates and claim the full tax deduction for myself.
It's either the stars aligning, or my mate has played me beautifully.
You had me worried a bit there Blocker with your 11th hour swoop-in.
