A film about MP and Owl's road trip.
But no one would believe it.

Which reminds me of that photo of Owl Chapman at Maalaea. Classic.

Dido's alright. An Arsenal supporter, therefore she's on the side of good.

The greatness of Heath Joske's soul arch is analogous to 1989 in the Old Blighty when Trevor Hohns bowled a seeming innocuous half tracker to David Gower. "He's got him with the flipper!" bellowed the normally unflappable Richie Benaud as a bemused David Gower was suddenly out plumb LBW. Perhaps it ...

see that's the thing. I see that line and for me it is a problem to be solved and the way you solve it is, chuck the fcuken drunken sailor overboard That's great Nick. Now you're getting into the spirit. That will make a great verse. The captain's mate sang a song as he was far from sober. So we pi...

Apparently, Dane goes alright at Cloudbreak.

btw, that was a piss poor edit that really failed to capture the mood of the day or even the wave quality on offer.

Sally Fitzgibbons continuing on with a perforated ear drum. Tough as nails!

Nick, maybe you have written about this elsewhere, but how was being on the beach for the Pipeline Heritage heat and watching young Tom get the best tube ride of the event up to that point?
It was pretty exciting from over here.

It's a surprise these custom made wetsuits did not prove more popular.
