Just after. By this stage (of the pic) I had discovered drugs and alcohol. Those things do not mix well with surf lifesaving.

Pretty classy. How I managed to attract people of the opposite sex back in those days astounds me now looking back.

Wasn't it blocked by a number of ISPs after the Christchurch massacre? How did it "come back"?

That pic was taken on my mate's 21st birthday. That's him on the right. We spent all day in that spa drinking, and as I recall we were VERY messy when he headed to the RACV club in the city later on for his official celebrations.

Up until recently I was employed in a professional capacity, and have a hairstyle to match. Now I am not, I might be tempted to return to one. Had one as a youth. That's me on the left in this image

I'm so glad I am not a bird. Whenever I watch the magpies eating, they're constantly scanning for danger. Never relaxed at all. I couldn't deal with that sort of stress 😂

They're big and dominate the other birds.

Oh they're pretty smart critters. I like to feed the magpies, but the crows hang around when I do. They won't come near if I am around, but the second I go inside they'll swoop down and bully the magpies and steal the food.
