A valuable keepsake in THE BOTTOM DRAWER by Roger Moroney

The last time I was over at the Australian MotoGP, which was three years ago, I decided to do what I had done the previous time I was there which was two years before that. I decided to buy a T-shirt. There was a wide range in terms of choice, I think it would be fair to say. There was an equally diverse range in the costs involved, and being wary of spending I steered the usual course to the more budget-friendly items. Going for the official team produced ones meant in some cases going into overdraft. So I found a real nice greyish-coloured one with the MotoGP logo on the front and a fine colourful array of all the flags, accompanied by the race dates, of all the other MotoGP events which were being staged that season around the world. It looked fine. A suitable keepsake... so into the plastic bag it went and over the counter went my $ 25( crikey that was five beers but hey, one must take home the keepsake). And a keepsake it indeed is. Not a wearsake... for when I took it out of the bag arriving back home I discovered that what I had taken to be a‘ medium’ was more inclined toward being a‘ small’ and therefore it looked ridiculous on me.
