This is what I've learned: They love Gaffers posts. (who doesn't) They, like most of us, think South Jetty Bill is a raving lunatic. And like most of us, they love(d) him. 'Rhys' is an actual name. There is a place called Cornwall that they should rename Malibu II. Its the second softest wave in the world next to Malibu I. The MS surf reports, like all surf reports, are completely inaccurate. I wonder if you can access the Navy WAM from a UK computer? The MS layout is pretty cool. I like the scrolling front page. Their forum is way too friendly. I don't think they understand the point of the internet. 'Mate' does not refer to the person you copulate with, unless the whole of that forum are involved in 'buggery', which of course is not the study of, or enthusiasm for, bugs. And not that we don't have a few strange names for surf breaks over here, but there is a very unfortunate name for a wave over there called "The Hot Pipe". Maybe they ARE all involved in buggery.... That's all for now. Regards, Clark W. Griswold
