[clug] Bryan's behaviour

[Miller-Kelly, Cody]

Thanks Bob.

I do struggle in some social settings every now and again, I've never
struggled at CLUG though.

The ACT Health directorate are a bunch of wankers in suits who would rule
out any health condition if they could.

I haven't come in the last few years to a meeting, just busy with work,
kids, wife, etc.

I will however endeavour to make it for the release party :-) I need to get
my social on.

Thanks
Cody
