Hi guys,

I have already deleted the original version of the story that came in this 
a.m. but seem I recall that it supposedly happened in the Philippines at a 
Wedding reception not in Australia at all.  Perhaps someone still has the original 
post.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

Filipino and Mexican Weddings can often turn quite violent as I remember from 
my early days of playing many of them, especially when the tequila starts to 
flow and mix with the beer and the knives and pretty senoritas who belong to 
that man Jose.
