#25

GH has costed a rented bus for 8 at $150 each for the whole trip. Planes don’t stop at hot spots!

#26

Who needs road trippin’ hot spots when Melbourne itself sounds like one big Muana Loa.
Virgin flies from Newy (Williamtown) so I’ll try to make the 9:00am pickup for the bowl tour Friday. @#$%, I can’t wait. I haven’t skated in Melbourne for 20 years.

#27

MOSS JAM and The Snake Free Zone.

Are you Hardcore or RSL ??

If we get too many crusty old farts in one age group we will split it into two groups so nobody gets snaked out.

Group 1. RSL’s
Returning Skaters Legion for guys that stopped skating for ages - like 10 to 15 years+
(No, sorry, but there won’t be a division calcutaed on age + number years off the board + current kilos).

Group 2. Hardcore
The full-on guys that just kept on skating through the decades, or just anyone that wants to be Hardcore.

#28

Hey Mr. Reginald ( RSL Wedge ) Francis …what are you doing on the computor at 2.30 a.m. ?
Do I have to come down to MOSS '06 or can you just post me my ‘HARDCORE over 45’ trophy and prizes ? I think it’s back to winning by default for me…ahhh the pressures of age and maturity

#29

You’re jumping the gun there Fox. Both Wedge & Old School Richie are over 45 too, and if I know Wedge, he may be ‘RSL’ but he’ll be going ‘hardcore’ on the day !

#30

Every cloud has a silver lining. The internet is the silver lining of the cloud called insomnia.

We’ll only split the Hardcore from the RSL’s if there’s too many in the 45+ers. So Mr Fox sir, put on your striped tube socks sir and carve the death box yourself sir.

45+ is going to be tough. Errol, Ganimal, Johnny Gray (maybe).

Sir Errol, are you going to grace us with your presence and the sartorial elegance that is the SOS King of the Bowl Jacket.

#31

Warning: the innocent should look no further.

The following is a completely unsolicited image recently and mysteriously sent to me by Robert ‘Wedge’ Francis (interpol have been contacted):

Aside from the intrinisic interest one feels in observing the continuing evolution of Mr Francis’ socks, one is entirely at lost to supply an explanatory context for this image. Is it possible that the jocularly named ‘Wedge’ is attempting to put on his silver linings? Does this alarming gesture relate in some way to the tremendous anxiety the gentleman in question feels about the prospect of going head to head in hardcore competition with John ‘Fox’ Wlliamson?

Where is Johnny McGrath? Is he about to emerge casually from the door in the background, wearing his lenless powerglasses?

#32

Wedge,
Have been planning on coming down all year, for Thurs - Mon, but then Mrs Errol very recently got offered some work she couldn’t say no to, right across the MOSS.06 weekend, working late into the night as well. This of course presented us with childminding issues of most urgent proportions which we have only yesterday fully sorted !

So, YEAH ! I’ll be there. Coming down the Deadly Hume Thurs with Ground Hangers & crew in the hired van, so should be well rested(?) & ready for bowl tour Fri morning. Can’t wait.

#33

Errol, So you won’t be rolling in the Fossil and Grommet then.
Great to hear you can make it.

And as for you Dr Indiscreet, if you thought that private image I sent you was weird, just wait til we put you in this thing…

Is it a pipe? is it a bowl? no it’s a cradle to stretch you planar facci.

#34

Newcastle contingent JetStarred and accommodated.
Cozmick, Gravel, Johnny Bogaerts and KB will be in a hire car at Tullamarine at 9am Friday. (It will be the one vibrating with kinetic energy).
Thank Ratstink that Melbourne is the coffee capital of the southern hemisphere.
If I had to put it down in less words, they would be…
“Next fortnight be gone”.

#35

Do grommets (30-35) have to show ID this year?

#36

Errol, I’ve just realised I can’t come on the bus tour. I have lectures to give on Frudays, and because I had to cancel today’s, I won’t be able to cancel my lecture that Friday. NO …OOOOOOO (raising fists towards sky).

GH is gonna revoke my right to exist!
