What's what?
Yep, Waits Point at the start, I'd say, with the breaking wave.
How's the comment below the clip from Chris Worrall (one of the guys who made it):
the thing about Jimmy always was he wouldn't mime he just sang along REALLY LOUD..at one point we were using the helicopter as a wind machine to blow his hair around and you could still hear him over the engine!!....oh and that last terrifying shot of the lone figure on the cliff above shark infested waters is me wearing Jimmy's jacket..he wanted to get away early and take his son for a ride in the chopper
Maybe should ask him or the other guy where it happened:
Shats.... Quite an interesting read.... The truth?? Who knows.... But it'll make a good mini series in 10 years time..

Brian Eno gives this years John Peel lecture and shows (again) that he's the thinking man's muso. So much to be said about art without pretension or cliche, including Eno's idea of 'scenius', that good artists don't rise from a vacuum but rather are products of a scene. By extension if you create a good environment for art - a 'scene' in this context - the genius' will come.

Is it too early in the year to start the nominations for Swellnet's 2015 highs and lows?
To quote Sleaford Mods (just for shits n giggles): Brian Eno? What the fuck does he know? Doodling away with his alien haircut...
Actually, I recall a similar strain of argument lamenting the death of the art school influence on British music which I can't be arsed to look for 'cos I'm not at work on a computer.
As for Swellnet highs & lows? In the forum-sphere I take it? The theological/illogical thread qualifies in both categories I wager.
yep in the forum-sphere
Well Floyd, you'd have to have divisions... Not just the forums, but also the articles, and forecasts. and of course, surfing, swells......
In the forums, I think the "private investigator debacle of 2015" would have to be nominated..... I also think the sad but expected demise of Blind boy's climate change thread due to constant abuse (from BOTH sides of the argument) would have to make the finals... Like the Abbott thread, BB's climate change thread was an icon..... And that bring s me to the Abbott thread..... Floyd's thread..... A record breaker for all the wrong reasons, and quite a few right reasons too....
Surfing - highlight - the big day at Margs rights.... The lowlight... halting the comp on the big day at margs rights just to surf it in a better "time slot" ....
Surfing - sharks..... The sadness, and the panic, and the arguments..
Swells.... Well there is no competition on this one..... The best swell would have to be the amazing incredible run of trade swell between the 2 cyclone swells in Feb 2015 up in the N NSW/SEQ region..... Forget about Pam.... That week was as good as it gets.... I was told that by people who were actually on the beach...... Bahahahahahaha.... ;)
Nice work there Sheepy ....... Yeah, I was thinking Blindboy pulling the pin on his climate change topic too (a very sad day) , the Adam Goodes discussion was my lowlight of the year proving beyond doubt the white pisshead bogans don't like getting their feathers ruffled by blacks or any minority for that matter. Abbott getting the arse was my personal highlight but really not much has changed inside the conservatives, Slater's wave pool gosh that's a highlight as well, the gone missing award must go to Ben coz he hasn't made a personal contribution on what he has been drinking lately (me thinks must be on the wagon since he joined a gym FFS), yeah sharks, hipsters not wearing leg ropes, the onward growth of SUPS, the mostly in-comprehensivable contributions from nick3 and barley, the toughest arse in the business award must go to tonybarber coz he permanently fence sits and on the upwardly mobile award for 2015 must go to you modest little sheepy for moving to the mainland on the Spirit no less midyear.
Well, Floyd, I'd like to nominate you for 2 awards..... "The knighthood for most commented thread" (Abbott/Turnbull) - in fact, that thread cannot and will not be beaten by dec31, so well done "SIR" Floyd :p
I'd also nominate you in "longest running battle", alongside Nick, Barberino, and Barley.... You make the FR/dawg feb trade swell battle look like a b grade event bahahaha...
I'd like to nominate myself in the "here's a link so I must be right" category, also in "how to make friends and be popular" and lastly "most annoying cunt in forecast notes, but we strangely miss him when he's not there"..... lol....
I nominate Blowin for the "Go back where you came from" category...
FR for "I'm never wrong, I'm just experimenting" award..
Don for the NIMBY category..
Craig for popcorn eating..
Ben for "I'm above all of this"
Stu for "I only smoke in Bali"
Shats would have to get the Golden Jello...
Drinker of the year would go to Welly, for the 3rd year running..
"A hundred ways to use eggs" I'd say is heading back to the desert... Again..
The kumbaya cup I nominate the missing in action dave...
So that's a start.... lol
nice one sheepy, very funny indeed, what about the most patient unflappable guy on any SW forum in the face of overwhelming stupidity award must go to benski
yeah dave had some out there moments ........
storm in a tea cup award again would be the annual bluster about PWC use at the goldy points

Benski??????? Dunno about that, Sir floyd!!! PMSL..... You can nominate him.... But I don't think he'd stand a chance against Southey lol... To handle 6, 12 months of accusations about hiring a P.I , countless slanderous posts and baiting, yet keep his relative cool time and time and time again is a decent effort....
.
The Colonel Kurtz award must go to Big Wayne .... missing in action for some years now .... come back Big Wayne
so Sheepy.
I'm in the worlds largest Muslim nation by population.
Where a bouts on this large , beautiful, multicultural globe are you right now ?
That's right , cooking meat pies for the cobbers.
Homogenous , domestic , provincial and utterly hypocritical.
The award for most baseless accusation and most ill informed circle jerk opinions goes to ....( drumroll )...
Sheepy " Don't bring my long suffering , tolerant as a saint wife into this " Dawggggg.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Xmas all.
Great year on the SN forums.
Onya fellas, it's been fun!
You too FR and everybody else.
All the best and hope 2016 is a great year for everybody.
ps I miss Big Wayne too. I think his marriage disolved and if you read between the lines he was hurting.
I miss Shaun and Morris as well.
With that outburst, Blowin is a shoe in for the "Go back to where you came from" award.....
And he might've just pushed into contention for "cunt of the year" with continued wife references and not being able to have a laugh at himself ....
Where is Shorris? I hope he comes back and collects his "I'm a Dave the rave fan" t shirt.....
Anyhooo, Merry xmas, adrenalin junkies!! And remember it's all about little baby jesus, even if he was born in late may early June......
Cowabunga, freaks!!!!
Sheepio said "Drinker of the year would go to Welly, for the 3rd year running.."
Thanx Sheepio, really glad I've got that award again this year, really goes to show how dedication and hard work pays off. Looking forward to next year's run at the tittle.
Merrymaking times everyone;)
Welly don't celebrate too early . There's still a few days to go . Although I'm pretty sure that the real " ground breakers " probably struggle to turn on their laptop computer let alone figure out their password / managed to post anything legible .
Whilst we are on the topic , is Shorris still under the bridge ..... I heard it flooded last night ?!?
Buuuuuuuuurrrrp.
My time here has come to an end.
Just wanted to thank everyone for the free therapy.
I trust that everyone gets exactly what they deserve.
May the force be with you.

Get what we deserve? Sounds like a curse B but good luck and thanks for your numerous contributions in defence of sanity.

Good luck to you Mr B, it was fun while it lasted
Hmmmmm.... Hope the braudster is ok...... Maybe I'm reading between the lines..... If you do tune in for a look Braudulio, good luck in the future, man....
Hmmmmm.
Reading between the lines eh ?
You know the mark of a true comment guru / soothsayer of self note, is to be able to read the lines that are between the lines that are not written , yet deduced.
It's not something that can be taught , or learnt , or described or quantified.
So I'm not going to.
And certainly not for the likes of you, on the likes of here.
Save to say it's secret and sage like advice that I may or may not possess. Not the sort of information one can gleam simply from reading plain stated fact or undisputed evidence.
More the will of the gods, utilising my mere self as an instrument of perfection and divinity, sculpting me and directing me to deliver serments for humanity to take heed of.
Delivered with a quip to attest to my humanity. ....LOL
Decades of reading between the lines, nay .....above and below the lines, if I'm to be truthful, has granted me unparalleled wisdom.
Wisdom that is nawt found in the most hallowed of halls of conventional learning or those most esteemed grounds of academia.
This is pure truth. Ear to the ground. Nose to the wind.
The very heartbeat of the Earth is a blood rush through my skull.
I feel your pain Braudulio.
I know it's not good.
Stay in touch, man.
You'll know where to find me.
I'm in the wind, man....
Blowin, you clearly have an unrecognised talent for satire that's simply wasted on this site!
Nothing like a good "lol" (lol) in the afternoon.
If I could read between the lines Blowy I could almost say you were being facetious.
Classic.

Blowin... 25/12... Xmas day here on swellnet.. "Obsession : An idea or thought that continuously preoccupies or intrudes on a persons mind."
It's nice you stalking me from one thread to another..... Obsessed wit the latest dog shenanigans... I like having groupies like you, old dog, andy....
I'm surprised you're here today actually, blowin.... There's a "3 year children in detention" celebration on today, followed by a "We hate refugees" shin dig...
I'm a refugee myself, Sheepy.
I'm running from the complete lack of self awareness you wear like a badge of honour.
Still a fan though Sheepy.
You know I love your work.
PS Its not like we here at the Aussie Nazi party haven't marked the 3year old kid in detention.....we're having a baby on a spit to celebrate.
Judging by the glorious golden brown colour, I'd say it's just about ready to eat .
Grubs on boys !
Me a groupie, Sheepy? You wish baby.
You realise I was responding to Blowin's post don't you?
Doesn't seem like you're running, mate... Seems like your following me everywhere..... Indecent obsession.... And delusional to boot....
But the world needs you blowin.... It needs people like you.... :)
Lordy, what a love-in! Anyway, back to business:

Fuck off (in Sleaford Mods stylee)!
Alan Clarke! He's a genius! I forgot about this entirely.
I've posted ELEPHANT on here before somewhere in its entirety...and bigged up his entire output.

Who the fuck are you, Turkey Neck? You've gone up in my estimation by this one post alone.
I'm just a garbageman.
Any James Hird fans out there???? This is freakn HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Eggcellent Sheepy :)
Poor old Hirdy eh!! Still thinks his innocent. I think people that don't believe in climate change (other thread I know) should now be called "climate Hirdy's"..........

Saw this about 12 months sheepy, didn't think it was funny then and now, with the #fuckwada decision I think its even worse.
cables verses chains evidence ....... WTF.
I just feel for the players, what a horrible decision for them, Essendon, the AFL, #fuckasada, #fuckwada all have fault here but the players? Well they are the ones being really punished.
There is no justice in the world, the law is an ass.
I don't think the players are as innocent as you wish to believe, Floyd.
They kept the program a secret as much as anyone else, not even mentioning anything on Asada's claim sheets about any supplements (legal or not) except a vitamin, yet they had how many injections that year?
Must've been all above board substances to not tell anyone.
They were covering it up, they cheated, now piss off (them, not you).
I remember when one of the players didn't toe the party line, and got castigated as a disgruntled ex-employee of the club. Ah Spike, you look like a twat now don't you?
http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/former-essendon-player-mark-mcveigh-laun...
You are correct that they are the ones really being punished. But why should they not be? It's more that some non-playing individuals and the club as a whole may be getting off lightly.
If this took place at North, Footscray, St Kilda and maybe even Brisbane since they are becoming a financial burden, the AFL would probably have just said bye-bye to them. Essendon have been remarkably looked after by the AFL.
"You are correct that they are the ones really being punished. But why should they not be? It's more that some non-playing individuals and the club as a whole may be getting off lightly."
Spot on Lostdoggy. Hird's absolute denial & arrogance in his own defense is almost unbelievable IMO. Not quite sure what some of the more "switched on" Essendon players where thinking at the time, Jobe Watson being at the top of that list. By all accounts an outstanding young man, grossly mid-lead. A very bitter pill (not performance enhancing) for the players to swallow.....
.
Ok Floyd, you said you won't be convinced otherwise so I won't bother.
Anyway Aussies don't cheat, especially brave young men such as those down at windy hill. It's just Chinese, Russians, yanks and cyclist, but we're all clean down under.
I hope you enjoy Hirds $33 interview with Tracey on Sunday.
