    Hello Chris!..so good to read your article. I am looking forward to fix your hair (not wanting to hurt Sean`s feelings though), perhaps at Jimmy`s! Hang in there! We are all barricking for you all! Tibor

    one of my long time readers has made the very valid observation that Tingy (the Portugese Tart?) is sponsored by BJ1212 – isn’t that a licence plate?? not sure how much a plate can offer but i’d be surprised if its that much – go for the whole van Tingy – at least there would be some gear in the back!

    and second sponsor is VMG blades – is that like Loving Yourself??

    go for Gold guys!!!

    Surely the Portuguese Tart is Tam? If not who is she & should Tam be told?

    And if Sean has an agent, is he giving her 20%? Of what? What does she do?

    Who is Uncle Mikes long time reader? He hasn’t written anything in yonks, does this mean the mysterious reader is just very slow? Almost certainly I guess, he would need to be thick to read Uncle Mike more than once and admit to it.

    Am I missing something? Should I go back to sleep? I think I will, its all too confusing.

    Hahaha, I’m paying her about 0 zero euros. Cheap labour still exists in this part of the world…

    For the record, Chris failed to mention the amount of carnage happening in yesterday’s races. I got taken out in 3 of the starts … like completely KO’d! So far 3 guys have been taken to hospital for crashes during the racing… There’s been about 6-7 port/starboard related protests a day so far…

    Finally in the last race yesterday I made it off the startline without getting hit and had a half decent result… I think I can go better though… just getting used to the bruising on my ankles from the crashes…haha.

    Also, for the record. The original haircut I gave Chris was really good; confirmed by Tam.

    Chris decided he didn’t like his new ‘style’ cut and got Tam to cut off all the bits I left on… now he has a real American-soldier style crew cut (blade 3 all over). Looks terrible I believe… don’t tell Chris I said that however. hahaha.

    Tibor, it definitely needs fixing up after Chris’ adjustments…
