i'd picture that as being an instance where some indiscriminate mob momentarily took their

and far be it from me to suggest that australian surfers, plastic or otherwise, could grasp anything
even closely resembling cool, but i'll tell ya what is filtering down from britain, and that's will&kates'
impending wedlock, how's that all going?

Hey I’m a surfer too, and I love that lifestyle but Surfers paradise is anything but a paradise!! Gimme the tweed/sunshine coast anyday.

Maybe I’m not following your reaction, but my point was that a cool place can be created and supported in the gold coast, but traditionally its hard for anything “different” there - to use another form of venue as an example: sadly most live venues on the coast that I used to play at in the 90’s, early 2000’s have all died out (eg playroom, trocadero etc) but beer barns and nightclubs go on strong. Same could probably be said about of a lot of cities though I guess.

At least will’s giving us a public holiday here which gives us two consecutive 4 day weekends to get the hell away from all the wedding shite!
