That was fun to read, though Canberra is the capital of Australia.

Hi Linden.
I love playing wee tricks on the chessboard and I often sneak one or two
into anything I'm write. This one is not too clear but it's there.
I gave two hints.
You have to read the very last lines again.
"Well all this talk about Australia has made me thirsty.
Your round, I’ll have a pint of Fosters.
No I’ve changed my mind, make that a can of beer, a canberra please."
It was one of the first lines I wrote, I often write these things backwards.
Find a gag, a play on words, a daft game or what ever and write a whole pile of junk
leading up to it. (delete junk, insert well crafted words.)
Just before it there is something about asking anyone the capital
of Australia and me betting no one will say Melbourne.
Glad it made you smile, if you are happy then I am happy.

I'm glad I got that out of my system.....
