Ask Carroll

[Little]

no seals in Ballina so throw that one out the window.

Plenty of walruses though.

Yes well the Richmond River does go up as far as Lismore...

That looks like my misses. Which brings me to my next question, Nick she has asked me to do that stupid wife carrying competition in Finland next year can you recommend a good back brace that weight lifters use and also a good chiropractor. Stupid bitch is eating me out of house and home.

I learned a harsh lesson by contacting a head shot only profile on a dating site. We arranged to meet at a nice restaurant and as soon as she walked in I thought " how the fcuk am I going to feed that? ".
Never contact head shot only profiles. Ever.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-10/s ... wa/6608836 :sounds like an impressive bunch of film makers. With the Breaking Bad guys involved could we now expect a script change for the surf hero indo tripping character to expand his import/export business to include some cooking up of Heizenberg blue?

Nick, do you use hair clippers or wet shave your head? Have you ever asked Kelly Slater this same question?

[Nick Carroll]

Hair clippers, I don't actually go bald. Re KS, do you really reckon I'm interested in what he does with his head?

[Drailed]

Was asking for a friend.

[ajohnsen]

Was asking for a friend.

[tootr]

yeah, yeah

Nick what sort of difference do you think Paul Pierce will make for the LA Clippers?

[Nick Carroll]

I really couldn't tell you. Basketball doesn't capture my imagination. Sport is odd I think; you can be pinned to some and be completely unmoved by others, despite the deep commonalities between all sports. I'm not at all a fan of animal-oriented sports like horse racing, what gets me is the human factor, and that carries across almost all sports, which gives me an emotional way into everything from Olympic javelin to the NRL. But NBL basketball? Nup. Sorry.

Thats fair enough to fill you in Paul Pierce aka The Truth grew up in LA as a Lakers fan. Was drafted by the Boston Celtics after years of struggling teamed up with The Big Ticket Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to lead the Celtics and win the Championship defeating the L.A. Lakers.

Now at 38 and in the twilight of a decorated career Paul Pierce is returning home to play a support role for the rising LA Clippers whom are the Lakers poor cousin.

Nick, who's paying for Kelly Slater to do the tour now that he doesn't have a headline sponsor? Is he self-funding or is the WSL picking up the tab?

What a fabulous question. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that KS is being funded beyond his prizemoney by the WSL, seeing as how his management is so intimately tied up in its ownership structure, but I have no evidence for that. He does have a wide range of supporters including GoPro, and Kering who is working with him on his new Outerknown range which is scheduled to launch next week. No doubt he has a range of investments beyond the ones we know about, ie Purps, various entertainment projects, etc etc. He is kind of a corporation in himself now really and the expenses involved in tour life would scarcely be of concern to him. I think he might be a bit tormented right now by all the irons he has in the fire actually, perhaps trying to sort out what is most worth his time.

Nick, will Julian ever win a world title?

[Drailed]

Purps. Lol.

[Davros]

Nick should Shane Watson be flayed and rolled in salt.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

And what's this purps stuff? I like it already.

[Nick Carroll]

Nick, will Julian ever win a world title?

I think he has a shot, yeah.

[Nick Carroll]

Nick should Shane Watson be flayed and rolled in salt.

Why yes. Yes he should.
