Ou est Gurt?

Afternoon all, Reet 'ere

It has been a few days since anyone has heard from Gurt, so I figured he's probably been at the Black Rat again and has passed out in a ditch somewhere.

So I thought I'd better keep you punters amused, and try to satisy your salacious appetite for tittle tattle.

Well I picked up this little beauty from my mate The Slug this morning:


HAIRY SITUATION?
Whilst the 5th and last round of this year's UK surf rowing summer series took place in Cornwall last week, the Leander and Marlow crews who took part in the World Champs in August weren't present... a decision which may perhaps be explained in part by the following.

"Dear Slug
I read with some interest your previous mutterings regarding Marlow and Leander's recent attempts in the UK Surfboat Rowing Champs. Well, during recent conversation with the organiser it appears that our men from the pink club were somewhat dumbfounded by the kit.
It is commonplace to share boats between men and women during racing, and owing to the lack of seats it is only the skin of one's backside (+ water) that allows movement up and down the slide. One can only assume that they were concerned about leaving unwanted hair behind, because when presented with their racing speedos they replied "shall we shave down?"
Voluntary Brazillians for the whole crew... what next - back, sack and crack?

Yours Red Cheeks"

any excuse, eh boys?
