Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 3, 2006 Seriously, I wonder how much money has gone into skateparks that could have gone into cancer research... The Tony Hawk Foundation seeks to foster lasting improvements in society, with an emphasis on helping children. Through grants and other charitable donations, the foundation supports programs focusing on the creation of public skateboard parks, and other causes. The foundation favors programs that clearly demonstrate that funds received will produce tangible, ongoing, positive results. There has got to be a million ways that are better than building skateparks to help children. I disagree, CP. Watching the news last night, there was a report on the chaos, mayhem and slaughter in the Democratic Republic of Congo. My first thought... a couple of half-pipes, covered in graffiti and surrounded by broken bottles of Bacardi Breezer and spliff-butts would sort those kids out no end. God bless those brave and hardy souls taking fannying about on a plank of wood on wheels to the huddled masses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on, don't let that one pass without further elucidation! Spill the beans. It's not very interesting really. It was when I first came to the island and Norman was on the same flight as me. he was stood next to me and we were waiting for our suitcases. I spotted mine and went to grab when he went for it too. It was as big as him almost so he struggled, then his PA called him over as his suitcase had arrived and he winked at me. I don't know if he was trying to steal it or help me with it or if he thought it was his suitcase but it was rather bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 6, 2006 Maybe he was trying to cause madcap comedic mayhem by struggling with you, accidentally busting the zip on the case and strewing the contents all over the place in a loveable but inept attempt to help.

maryportfuncity 10,597 Posted February 22, 2006 He's a luvvie to his bones. He'll probably do his pathetic skating mime and clowing around with a cap when he's giving evidence, enjoy every second and come out with a spring in his step, even if he loses.
