      mm well that's the <{1><[1>problem</[1>

  <WSC#DPC218:0270:LY>
      i <.>think</.> i think back you know like back on my
      teenagerhood i think i grew <?>up</?> too quick <,>

  <WSC#DPC218:0275:LY>
      cos i remember when i was thirteen you know i mean heck i used
      to put overalls on and go to the pub you know and <,>

  <WSC#DPC218:0280:LY>
      i mean the barman couldn't have known me that well he used to
      put a pie and a beer and a twenty cent <{2><[2>piece

  <WSC#DPC218:0285:LY>
      you know it was all set up for me</[2> <?>really</?>

  <WSC#DPC218:0290:LY>
      and for years he thought i worked at the panelbeaters down the
      road

  <WSC#DPC218:0295:MK>
      <[1><?>you know</?></[1></{1>

      <O>laughs</O> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC218:0310:LY>
      i mean you know <O>voc</O> and i was used to run raffles in the
      pub and i was only thirteen years of age man <,>

  <WSC#DPC218:0315:LY>
      you know and and <.>i</.> but i was hanging out with guys who
      were twenty five thirty you know

  <WSC#DPC218:0320:MK>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC218:0325:LY>
      and just i just couldn't relate to my own age you know

  <WSC#DPC218:0330:LY>
      and now that i'm thirty i think to myself

  <WSC#DPC218:0335:MK>
      well a lot of people think <{><[>that you're older eh <?>than
      you are</?></[> eh

  <WSC#DPC218:0340:LY>
      <[><drawls>OH</drawls> <O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC218:0345:LY>
      eh?

  <WSC#DPC218:0350:MK>
      a lot of people think that you're older

  <WSC#DPC218:0355:LY>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC218:0360:MK>
      you know what i mean? <latch>

  <WSC#DPC218:0365:LY>

  <WSC#DPC218:0370:LY>
      but i was getting away with heaps eh you know <?>i took</?> <O>tut</O>
      <,>

  <WSC#DPC218:0375:LY>
      but <.>y</.> once you get you <.>al</.> <&>11:00</&> once you
      get away with something you you tend to do it all the time and
      then <,> somewhere along the line <O>burps</O> <&>swallows drink</&>
      something's got to happen you know

  <WSC#DPC218:0380:MK>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC218:0385:LY>
      and i think for me um <&>sips drink</&>

  <WSC#DPC218:0390:LY>
      i mean i was quite lucky i met my wife because that sort of
      pulled my head in a bit <&>sips drink</&> <,>

  <WSC#DPC218:0395:LY>
      otherwise who knows where we'd've ended up <?>you know</?> we'd
      probably would've been a statistic

  <WSC#DPC218:0400:LY>
      but i guess for me i mean <.>i</.> i was very lucky cos i had a
      mother that taught me how to think

  <WSC#DPC218:0405:LY>
      and i <.>always</.> i always knew the consequences that i was
      doing was wrong but i was prepared to pay the consequence

  <WSC#DPC218:0410:MK>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC218:0415:LY>
      you know um i mean <{><[><.>there's</.></[> there's a saying in
      jail that says you know hey man you know no good crying about it
      if you can't do the time eh don't do the crime

  <WSC#DPC218:0420:LY>
      and it's <?>it's</?> exactly it you've just got to weigh it up
      and you've got to pay the price man and whatever it is

  <WSC#DPC218:0425:LY>
      but um you know i laugh now

  <WSC#DPC218:0430:LY>
      i look at the paper and these fellows getting prisoners' rights
      what a lot of shit prisoners haven't got rights

  <WSC#DPC218:0435:MK>
      <[><O>clears throat</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC218:0440:MK>
      <O>laughs</O>
