Last week
I recounted how my mate Phil, was in the middle of a 3 month trip snowboarding
in France (taking a rest from surfing) travelling in his homemade camper van
and how he was lucky enough to stumble upon the Unofficial British Ski Jumping
Championships on the 1st February organised and participated in by our
super hero, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. I promised to post some more
photos of the event, featuring Eddie, as soon as Phil emailed them to me and
here they are:

I expect
that you have all been hearing ad nauseam about the EU referendum. Over the next few months we will all be fed
the usual half truth and downright lies about what is good for us, the wage-slave
majority, like the rich tax dodgers have always done. What they won’t tell us is what is really good
for the Tories and their super-rich mates of course. Another aspect which will probably be
overlooked is the effect that leaving the EU will have on our freedom to travel
in Europe. As surfers and snowboarders we have all be used to decades of
chucking the surfboards or snowboards in the van and heading for the continent
and, if we need to, getting work or receiving health care when we break a leg. It’s not only surfing that will be affected
if we leave the EU, it will be the good old British cheap continental holiday. That of course will not affect our millionaire
and billionaire Tory masters who can pop over on their yachts to see their super-rich
mates.
See you
later
Allan
