Sydney wingman

My best buddy and Sydney wingman is Will Skinner. He considers himself to be a bit of a comedian and, in all fairness, he is a funny fucker. Will's response to the photograph of Ben and I larging it up on the Khao San Road, titled "Bangkok wingman", was fairly understandable, although still somewhat cynical...



Apologies to those of you still sensitive to the 'C' word. Among my friends in Australia it no longer has particularly negative connotations, and in fact it's now often used as a term of endearment. Let me illustrate with a little example...

"Ah, you're mates with Will Skinner? He's a good cunt, eh?"
"Yes, indeed he is, one of the very best. A bit of a bender though, don't you think?"
