Old News

Aloha

Bollocks, bollocks to you all. Im not apologising this time for the lack of update. Its not like you pay me is it! I've been working on bigger projects, projects such as shitandshave.co.uk The new home of my old Narberth Youth rugby side. If you feel you deserve a log-in pass then email me.

There is a small selection of news to report, which i have streamlined into the following guffy bullets.

• A few of the surfwithus contingent have been skiing to France Snaps here.
• Goat, Bohattatata and Plumby have discovered a big cave. Shes from Ceibwr.
• Climbing has become a new surfwithus obsession.
• Cow, Tino and a select few made the trip over to Ireland. There was some illegal antics.
• Dan is dating a Trapeze artist.
• Eric the French love seal has been spotted at Dale. This makes us think that maybe he's knobing ♥ Lucy the Dale (fin) Slapper ♥
• Brown Cow is thinking of buy a wetsuit. Jesus.

With the start if the Autumn swells kicking in there have been some epic surfing conditions. We have added some photos of these waves into the snaps section, have a sniff.

Browner

Some of you may remember in the early days of Plumbys university course, he made a website for the boy Cow. Well he's raked through the archives and found it...The boy browner.

Plumby has updated his photography site to include some of his most recent snaps. Dont expect to see any spewing or bums though sorry. Have a look.

Added to Archive 24-03-2006 Welcome

We have broken our own record of not updating this website, its been 6 months! If Morris Mcwhirter (the fat guy on Record Breakers) were around, we would now assume a place in the record books. Its taken a day of heavy Pembrokeshire snow and a day off work to get us this far...

That said, it is a SWU tradition to offer apologies for the extended wait between updates. Sorry guys. We have been spending our time updating the design of the site. Its far more accessible to disabled viewers and includes a new surf report section.

Some of the major events have been written about on this page, but here are some of the other bits and pieces that have been going on:-

• Martin Davies has been on two dates (no length).
• Stevey Plumb got married and been to Mexico.
• Dan Nicholas is under criminal investigation for treachery against logging.
• Danny Thomas has got a new job and has moved in with Sandy Bob.
• Plumby has been to New York and moved to Pembrokshire.
• Seals have stopped play at Abereiddys lagoon.
• Brown Cow has checked in with the Pembs residents for a day of hopping.
• Jess Cow has got 21 and hosted an epic Hero's and Villaian party with a funnel and marry poppins\dorothy.

With the start if the Autumn swells kicking in there have been some epic surfing conditions. We have added some photos of these waves into the snaps section, have a sniff.

Some of the Kayaking remedials have been having a crack at the surfing game. They were crap so lets not talk about that again.

A few of the boys have been getting involved in some squash antics: Click here for the league status.

Robbidoo

Roberto Reese has been dabbling in Pakistan for the last 3 months and will continue to do so for several months to come. The youngster is part of a group who are trying to change the ways Pakistani men think of women. In his last correspondence there was talk of some BBC reporting, so you heard it here first, be sure to watch out for him on a TV screen.

Partay'
Last week saw the 21st birthday of a Jess Cow'. To celebrate this momentous occasion a few crowd gather deep,deep in the sticks at Glandwr for a house party. The fancy dress them was Hero's and Villans. Glandwr has never seen so many Hero's, they're more than used to the villians however. There was a nasty incident, when two Karate kids clashed on the dancefloor. See a pirate and an SAS solider 'heavily petting' was a site to behold. DVDOFF

Now then. How about this, an update a month after the last! Yes, i was bored.

The Crimo holidays brought on some nice swell. Breaks were working were they have never worked before, an outer Reef was spotted off Tenby! Admittedly it was just a passing comment as i was chatting to some random after a session down Tenby. But some new snaps of the local breaks going nuts have been added to the archives, so take a peek ASAP.

As we enter into the final few months of this winter, the water is at its coldest. Its cool though, our breaks are a lot quieter and the surf is pretty good. Its been an average winter so far though with a flat period starting in late February set to last for at least a couple of weeks. This flat period has spun the surfwithus boys into action and work on the surfwithus DVD has started!

Over crimbo a couple of the Pembs contingent, Richy and Plumby, took on some nice BHS wedges when the westerly’s were up. Plumby got caught in a rip out in a Tenby session and spent the best part of an hour getting out of it. Dan and Lloyd had some mellow 3footers in Rest on the shlongboards.

The six nations has been a good focal point for social activity. TimG, JohnD, TimP and some of the Narby rugby team were fortunate enough to get hold of some England Wales Tickets. An epic day was had by all. If all the boys had of been mugged, beaten up, gagged and thrown in the back of a cattle truck driving non-stop to Latvia, and epic day it would still have been. 11 - 9.

Dan and Martin left this afternoon, heading for Bilbao. The duo are hoping to catch some Spanish Swell. We hope they have a class trip and will bring back some snaps and more importantly duty free vodka. Llanboidy FC

Yes, they say the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree and that’s certainly true if your a Plumb. SteveyP has put together Llanboidy FC's website. The Greek like Boidy' player has been offering up some snaps and match reports on a weekly basis. Surfwithus has offered to lend them some support by setting up a link for them. Click away compadres, click away. If anyone else reading has a site of interest give us a nod at imgivingyouanod@surfwithus.co.uk.

Some other sporting news; Narberth 2nds forged their way into the Pembrokeshire cup semi's after beating Tenby 2nds 20-0 last week. Surfwithus's Plumby crossed over for Narberths 2nd try. BIRTHDAYBASH There were some saw heads Sunday morning after a birthday shin-dig in the Sodabar on Saturday night. The "I knew you were doing it" surprise party went off in a traditional hedonistic manner, socialising with some of Wales A listers. Respect goes out to anyone who got into the VIP 'cage'. All of our posse' tried. All of our posse' failed. TimmyG came closest, he entered the VIP area confidently and with sophistication - posing as Sian Lloyd. If it wasn’t for his deep voice he would have got away with it. MESOSORRY THIS is without a doubt been the worst run website on the web. As you now expect, it takes a while for us to update. But not this long. Anyway, down to business. About time we caught up.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE - HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
SurfWithUs wishes everyone a very merry Christmas. Surf looks to be ok over the Christmas period, so long as you can find the sheltered spots.

2nd on the agenda is the recent trip two of SurfWithUs's core crew planned to Southern France, for a taste of some of the continents big waves. Dan and Plumb were all set for the adventure (well as much adventure as you can cram into a long weekend) of a lifetime. The long and short of the trip can be summed up into one short (but hard for me to write) sentence. We missed the shaggin' plane. Yes the twosome spent an unexpected amount of time wedged on the M25 and missed the plane by a staggering One Hour. Congrats to them (me).

A few select SurfWithUs members, accompanied by some legendry comrades took place in the Sodbury Slog. A 9 mile run around some of England's toughest countryside. Long ditches, deep rivers, steep hills and boggy fields where of the order. Cow, Plumby, Alex, Pete, Matt, Beynon and 900 odd others took to the course with vigor and determination. All of the boys trotted in home safely. Tough work, a well deserved Sunday lunch was later consumed, together with a hefty shot of Grandads rum. Respect goes out to the header who was offering Jelly Babies to the runners in the middle of some field.

The merger from summer to winter conditions seems to have been fairly painless. PErhaps not as much swell as we could have hoped for but there are have been some good sessions in Rest, Fresh and some pidly ones in Trecco, Coney and Southerndown. Regardless of the height we're always enjoying it. Rest assured we may not update very often, but the SurfWithUs team always has its eye on the surf report and can be found surfing at least once a week. Dan has invested in a 6'2 Tufflite whilst Plumby has been investing in a 9'6 Scallop noserider. Snaps of the fellas in action soon. Plumby 2 WED Epic news everyone.Plumby is getting married! Plumby senior that is. Older brother of SurfWithUs team member Timmy P is taking the plunge with his beloved Nikki. The big day is in July. Plumby junior is the best man and is therefore looking into various ways of tucking his brother up during the forthcoming stag do celebrations. Anyone who has an amusing story of Steven, is welcome to send them in to plumby@surfwithus.co.uk. All entries will be considered for a mention in the best man speech. HOMEBOY I'm afraid i must announce some sad news. Martyn Davies, (Marvo, Big'Nips) is moving home to Pembs from Cardiff. Its not all bad news however. The big' guy is starting his own gardening business and is moving home now, in order to have things in place ready for the summer trade. Marvo has spent several years up in the Capital but has decided West is Best. We wish you a sad farewell and the best of luck with your new business. See you... Boxing day.

ROXY RULES Yes, I know, a new record has been broken in the frequency of updates. Been moving house see. Now that were settled in, hopefully normal service can be resumed.

Dan and Lloyd took themselves across the channel and into Spain then France for an epic fortnight chasing Waves in the Basque area. They experienced some epic waves during they're time away, Lloyd caught his first wave bigger than a foot, nice one son. They're traveling coincided with the Roxy Quicksilver Pro heat at Anglet.

"Tell you what Plumby, I've never seen a chick surf better than me before and I never thought I would, but them Roxy chicks are top dogs. I didn't know whether to ask them for some a tip, or offer them mine." - Dan Nicholai

As you can imagine, some snaps of their trip were have been added to the snaps section. Go take a peek.

SLOW START The start of the summer has brought little surf with it. There have been long periods of dodgey surf, leading to frustrated surfers and more worrying unfit surfers. A recent outing to Southerndown left Plumby in shreds after a two hour session. With the forecast looking poor for at least another week, it could be time to take to the park to keep fit. The poor surf has also led to a few weekenders being cancelled. Though Dale, Des, Plumby and spaniel did make it down to the Gower a few weeks back to take on some Gennth 4-6 footers. Awesome weather and better waves. Nice to see the Londoners take to the water again after a few months off. Surfiwthus offers a nod to all its London exiles and hopes that the surf will bring you West soon.

The Cardiff marathon is approaching slowly the starter pistol will fire early on the 3rd of October. All the Surfwithus entrants have began their training and will hopefully be fit for the day. Good luck to all who have entered.

SWELL SWELL As is tradition now, apologies for the long wait since the last update, been mighty busy hatching up some new plans.

In a do or die move Martyno Davies has taken out a loan and plumped for the life of a freelance gardener. Yes, the plan which has been in the brewing for many a few months is set to unravel itslef over the next few months. Martyn or El Marvo to his associates is on the lookout for a Van and the tools necasary to maintain any given Cardiff garden. We wish Marvo the best of luck with this project and hope that it all works out well for him.

Big nod goes to Plumby and the afore mentioned Marvo for representing Narberth 2nds in the hottest day of the year against the dirtiest team in Wales . Bonymaen (the rugby pitch off TwintTown) offered up a good game and errr, beat Narb, both boys survived the whole match just about and are looking forward to more of the same next season. Well done to Narb 2nds for smashing Whitland 2nds 7-6 last weekend. All wins are sweet, but wins against Whitland are the sweetest. With the return of a few of the old youth team players back home, the 2nds team is reminiscent of yesteryear, all we need is Charley James shouting and Dan Rogers limping off and it will be just like old times. Watch this space for news of a MOOSE reunion soon. Jason and Barbara have been down in the Pembs area from London in their all so sweet camper van. A few days nestling in Fresh in beautiful weather, what could be better. Cheers for the cuppa after the session guys, come back soon for more of the same. A warm welcome is offered to all the London contingent, Jase, Ali, Dale, Barbara, Marie etc, come on down!

With another flat period on the horizon, its time to reflect on the perfect conditions that were on offer last week. 5-6 foot at Fresh, Gennith' going off and Porthcawl offering up a few barrels (allegedly). Classic stuff in what probably marked the end of the big winter swells. Summer is upon us, there was talk of summer suits in the Surfwithus house earlier on this week, not quite there yet I feel but give it a few weeks.

LONGSHOTS The recent longboarding competition was an amazing success down at Porthcawl. Elliot Dudley was the outright winner, well done to him, also spotted that the youngster did very well in the inter-uni UK comp last month, coming first in the solo category. It was nice to see Simon Tucker taking it easy on a longboard for a change. Its all about the GLIDE man. PARTAY The main man Cow has organized a belated house warming party. Kick off is anytime on the15th of May. This is a good chance to mingle with some suits up in the smoke. Be sure to bring some quality tesco snacks for the BBQ. If you want his address email me... tim@tp3.co.uk AROUND THE WORLD Two good friends of Surfwithus, Jenna Palmer and Julia Bezzart are heading off round the world for a year! The girls were given a good sendoff, with several parties organized in their honor. Classic stuff. Good luck to them on all their travels. We've put together a diary page, click here for the latest info, though at the day of writing they were still on UK soil.

Added 29- 4 - 2004 TEXTAWAY Hoooweee. Its been a busy few weeks here at SURFWITHUS, yes, a new name for a new era in the life of Wales ' best surfing website. The textonthebeach scheme has been brought to fruition and three new sections have been added to the website (the peachy ones above). Please take a look at them and register with us so we know who's texting in the reports. We are currently working with some sponsors and hope to have the text on the beach system funded by them, this will mean that you will be paid to text in a surf report, but for now its voluntary. Please support us. Click here to find out how the system works and to see a demo in operation. First its St.Davids day, then we have St.Patricks day. Its tought work being a Celt. Celebrations applenty.

FAMILY NEEDED The ITV series Holiday Showdown is looking for families with big personalities who are passionate about their holidays. Only available for UK Surfing Families.

She will continue running at this pace for at least another 20 months. She calls it a fun run, i call it madness. For a brief report, from the BBC, of her latest progression click here, to learn more about Josie and her motivation for running, click to here to see her official website.

Added 15- 3 - 2004 D-Day Another St.Davids day has come and gone. Plenty of Brains taken aboard in the Mochyn Ddu in Cardiff, singing from the usual suspects, Marv and Alwyn leading the way. Free cawl supplied by the generous landlord. I've been getting txt's all day with people experiencing a similar scene wherever they were last night. Hope your all feeling better now. 17 days till St.Patricks, best start saving up for that one, Brains is way cheaper than Guinness. On a surf tip, its been crap recently. Been flat for a good 10 days. The forecast is looking good for the forthcoming weekend, with any luck it will be picking up to 3-4 foot. We went down to Rest today and it was a clean 2foot, still not the best. The reason why we suffer the winter water temperatures is because the surf is generally better in the winter. Not it seems this year. Bring on the summer and lazy days down in Fresh. Got some interesting additions to the photo section, be sure to check out the latest scenes. There is one of Shane, housemate of Marvo etc. He fell asleep in the living room, so it was time to exercise the by-law of Antiquing. This act was nothing to do with the fact that he is Irish and had been ripping the p*ss all week. What a shocker. All is good though, Ben Evans will be returning to the squad for the French game - ace. Dan "the muff" Nicholas has been abroad, a surfing trip to Portugal. He has written about his adventures in our Stories section. Well worth a read, there are also some photos too. Singing in the train. Ooof! The train company Arriva are banning singing on trains. Anyone getting into Cardiff on Sunday for the French game via train will have to keep mum as Arriva will be telling any fans to be quiet! Anyone who has been into Cardiff on a match day by train will have tasted a brilliant atmosphere. Plumby used to come in for the Welsh games from London and revel in the high speed atmosphere. He commented on the banning issue - "Time to make salt on the beach". Whatever. So long as the French aint singing after the match we'll be happy. Police reckon that they wont be arresting anyone though, got bigger sh*ts to fry.

Added 24- 2 - 2004 SAVE THE WALES Yes indeed, with a new year comes a new 6footsh*t. So what do you reckon? Took about 20 mins to come up with the new design and a couple of hours putting it into fruition. Yes and we've even added a beach guide for good measure. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we'll have a surf report too, more on that little venture later. Into a new year, crimbo passed with ease. Some classic snaps have been added to the Photo section of the New Years eve effort in Tenby. Yes, Robotics was the theme, thought id tell you because i don't think you'll guess by looking at our costumes. Tenby was fun as always and was host to many a weirdly dressed youngster, a lot of women dressed as 60's slappers (or were they just from the valleys?), turds, cavewomen, swat teams and the usual others. Good fun was had by all. Good effort to Ali and co who journey'd down from London for the event. Luckily tin foil was at hand to help them get into the robot theme. What a shocker, first proper winter dip of the new year and it was a week of hot toddies, nasal spray and olbus oil. Welcome to Wales. Not to worry, its nearly cleared now, but just in time for a cold spell, i've never been surfing whilst its snowed before, hailstones yes, but no snow. Fingers crossed i can pop that cherry at by the end of the week. TEXT ON THE BEACH A few weeks ago i was looking to go surfing, checked a few online reports and all seemed well, 3ft and clean at Rest Bay. I got my gear together hoped in the car and drove the 40 minute journey from my house in Cardiff to Porthcawl. Flat as a f*ck! The problem with the current surf report systems online is that they are only updated once a day, in the morning in most cases. Now imagine a scenario were it was updated say on an hourly basis! You would be far more confident in the reports and always trusting in what they said. Well, 6footsh*t is trying to put together a system that is just that, an hourly updated report system. The system works on a TEXT message basis. A friend of 6footsh*t runs a website called txtbux.co.uk. Basically he has a system where people text a book number to a phone number and it replies via text the price of the book in Amazon. We're going to use the same system to send surf reports to a website. You would text for example , REST: 2ft Clean, and this would appear instantly on the surf report page at TEXTONTHEBEACH.CO.UK. We're going to be putting this system into fruition over the next few weeks. The best bit about it is that the report page will be sponsored, so that you will be paid for texting in the reports, all you do it register, and text away. Every time you text in 50 times we'll send you a cheque covering the cost of the messages, the money will come from the sponsors. Fingers crossed it will mean a better surf report for all of us which will be run by all of us.

Added 29- 1- 2004 HOMESWEETHOME Yes, yes indeed, the boys are back in the fray. With Christmas just round the corner the timing couldn't be better for all the 6foot surfers to be back home. Iwan has returned to Wales after a hefty 9 months away from Wales . He had been working in Byron bay for 7 of those months as a bus driver for Jays hostel. Richy had been travelling through Australia then into New Zealand . Plumby and Henry are back from New Zealand also. Cow is still in New Zealand but will be back to join in with the crimbo celebrations soon, landing on the 22nd of Dec. Stories aplenty from the travellers, who will hopefully be banging out a few articles for us here at 6footsh*t in the forthcoming week. Get involved with them when they appear. For now there are a few little snaps to see in our ever expanding Photos section. With all this travelling through immense countries which hold some of the best waves in the world, it was nice to return right in the middle of a flat period, with the BBC showing flat for all the major beaches. Welcome home. Luckily the waves picked up a bit yesterday, Dan and Plumby enjoying some 3-4 footers in Rest bay, each with a shlongboard at hand. Dan had an unfortunate accident while the travellers were away. Him and 6foot wannabe Lloyd were driving down the M4 when Dans 9'2” and Lloyd 7'2” flew off, ripping the roof rack off the car and landing in the middle of the road! Three car pile up, the driver of one of which had to take a trip to hostel to be treated for whiplash. Luckily no harm done... well apart from Dans shlongboard which got run over by a passing transit van and is looking very ill. Luckily it was a Clark foam number and amazingly didn't snap, though all fins were ripped out and needs some serious attention on the nose. A fella in City surf has given Dan a number of a board doctor.

6FOOTERS SURF VIRGIN BREAK Yes, exclusive news here at www.6footsh*t.co.uk. Two of 6footsh*ts finest surfers have pioneered a new break. Yes our very own Iwan and Plumby took on the mighty Mount Cook break and survived to tell the tale. Until now the break was thought unsurfable, but the daring boys risked their lives and took on what Kelly Slater described as "F*ckin mentally big tubage" and the man Rob Machado said was "the nastiest spot on earth". Photos of this exclusive event can be see here. Nasty.

Click on the snaps to see this awesome event unfold.

SOS Save Our School The fight is on to save Hermon school. The local community and a few major Welsh Celebs like the legend Rhys Ifans and the croaking Cerys Mathews are both involved in supporting the continued running of the school. The development of this worthy cause, which has recently been reported several times by the BBC can me monitored on the offical and until now never visited Hermon website.

Added 10- 12- 2003 WINTERSUIT Yes, its happened. A session down in Fresh last week i had to wear my winter suit. Bastard. This can only mean one thing, its here to stay for another 5 months. The Choppy, slushy, ice-cream-head, inverted shlong, white toes, white fingers and onshore months are back! Ok, Ok, maybe I'm being a bit to drastic but, its definitely on the way. Be prepared. It's time to start packing whisky in the flask instead of tea. Its been so long since we updated that i've forgotten half the things that have gone on. One thing does stick in my mind though, a monster session Ali, Dan and myself (Plumby) had in Freshwest about a month back. We got to Fresh on a friday evening after the long drive from Cardiff to find some of the biggest waves i'd ever seen. The swell from hurricane Isabel had hit big time, there were consistent waves in excess of 8ft, with some really freaky ones appearing now and again. There are some photos of some of these waves in the photos section, be sure to have a sniff. All three managed to get themselves outback, all three sh*t themselves and paddled back in, each with different excuses, Ali had cramp, Dan snapped his leash and Plumby said he'd left the oven on. An ace weekend was had by all. Special mention to Ali for cooking sausages at 2 in the morning with no light. The majority of 6footsh*ts core surfers are away at the moment.

Cow will be in Australia shortly to meet Iwan and Richy. All three are going to New Zealand separately over the next month. Plumby is heading out to New Zealand at the start of November to meet up with them, he will be brining a surprise with him (you'll have to wait fellas!). The 6footers are planning to purchase themselves a little car or campervan and take it over the Island for a month of so. Griffith's, after the luck you've had with yours, we aint calling it Helen. Llanboidy FC have been in the Capital. The team (including a pregnant looking Nigel Price) traveled up to Cardiff to watch the Welsh footy team. The Welsh team couldn't deliver the goods on the night, going down 3-2, but fun was had by all. A few of the team stuck around to watch the Wales Canada game on Sunday. Congratulations to them. Did anyone spot Alun Jones in the crowd at the start of the match? Marvo has found himself a new vocation, (who is 24 on the 16th of October incidentally) after a brief stint delivering furniture he now works for Sony in Bridgend. Marv had a brief encounter with a gay man in the Cayo last weekend during the Wales Serbia match. He was watching the game in the pub with Aled Henry when they where approached by a gay man. The fella was being polite and asking what he thought of the game, then slipped in the "are you two friend?" Marv replied, "yes but were not sexual partners", to which Aled looked disappointed. The fella started smiling in anticipation of some ruff and tumble with Marv, though he was soon denied. Marv had a headache.

REALSEALAPPEAL Yes indeed. Its seems the nowhere is safe from technology. Skomer Island now has its very own Web-Cam. You can look at the seals on its beaches. The little cuites can be looked at throughout the day on a mobile webcam. Though the webcam is broadcasting live, the picture only updates every half hour which makes it look like there's a load of dead seals washed up on the beach, rest assured though all seals in the picture are fine. Click here to see em'

Added 14- 10- 2003 RICKY IS ROCKIN' 6 foot member Richy has made the leap to the other side of the world to Oz. He's now dwelling with 6footer Iwan in Byron bay. We've had some correspondence off him, he seems to be having an ace time. Get into the Travellers section for more info on his adventure.

Marvo has taken the unprecedented but gutsy step of resigning from his illustrious post as call assistant at British Gas in Cardiff. After 7 months of employment the man decided enough was enough and decided to move on. Unfortunately Marv hadn’t secured a replacement job at the time of resignation and is now looking for employment. He now spends his day watching Trisha, re-runs of Columbo and Countdown, in between filling in application forms for jobs.

There has been some house moving. Plumby, Marvo, Dan, Danny and Irishman Shane have moved in together. There new house near Roath park is a beuty. The room are plenty big enough and there is a bath, an amenity a few of the boys haven’t had for over a year. All those burning rings can now be cooled off in the bath after the morning after dump from whatever dodgey Balti house the fellas dined in the previous night.

On the surfing front, there have been too many trips to the sea to mention them all, but here are a couple of the best\worst.

Danny and Plumb took themselves to Southerdown a few weeks back. The trip came after an extended period of no surf, the worst that surf legend and surf school owner Simon Tucker can remember in fact. So there was swell coming in and the boys where not going to miss it, unfortunately the swell brought with it a gale force two wind and some serious chop. After an hour of bobbling up and down in the 5-6ft swell, the boys f*cked off home, putting it down to a) a bad surfing session and b) stupidity, for trying in the first place.

On an upbeat note... Two James's (Stevens and Bennett), Plumby, Dan, Anna and Ali went down to Fresh a few weeks back. An awesome session, everyone was in the water for more than 3 hours. The waves where 3ft with no wind, even Bennett on his 6-4 had some long waves. A classic 6 foot sh*t session. 6foot sh*t is now on every major surf engine. We have a statistics page set up on the website which allows us to see what you get up to on the site (what pages you visit etc) and also what words or phrases they type into the search engine to find us in the first place. Because of the weird nature of this site, 6footsh*t appears in the results of some pretty weird search phrases. Here are some of the funniest to date (there are all honestly what people have typed in and visited 6footsh*t in search for). "photos of naked gay men" - "freddy ljunberg" - "the dead seagull" - "clarts" - "photos porno" - "transsexual porno" - "transsexual f*ck bus" - "pink wetsuit" - "pasty british boys" - "gay Pembrokeshire" - "photos of rugby streaking" Awesome, well 6footsh*t is glad of all visitors. But who was looking for "The dead seagull" ???

DirtyDirtyBeach Oil from the Presige oil disaster is now appearing on British beaches for the first time. The oil which plagued many of Europes best surfing spots this summer after the oil tanker sank in November is now hitting our beaches, St Ouens beach on Jersey is being affected and it will not be long before the fist size lumps of oil will be hitting the mainland. More info on the struggle to stop these disasters happening can be found here Stop the rust buckets. The site hosts some good info on why there are so many oil spillages and what can be done to prevent it. DirtyDirtyLove Fuckin classic this one. A couple who where heavily petting on the harbour wall in Saudersfoot fell off and had to be rescued by the coastguard. The fella who for the sake of this story shall be called Clive Dowling and his Mrs to be Heidi fell off the wall after Clive popped the question. Though they were rescued by lifeboat a Helicopter was summoned from Devon, thought it was sent back when it was discovered that they were ok.

"After we were rescued we had to walk back to the hotel. We were stinking with mud no one would have given us a lift" - No sh*t. Added 05- 9- 2003 WALK THE WALK Sorry its been so long since the last update. We’ve been pretty busy organising various events and outings. The summer is always busier than the sh*tty winter, so there’s less time to spend indoors working on 6footsh*t.

Right, first things first. Last week 2 fellas took themselves up to Poppit sands near Cardigan to begin the 186 mile walk of the Pembs coastal path. An epic task, which they hoped to complete in a 8 days. A combination of rain and Gale force winds prevented them from walking every day, though they managed to walk about 90 miles before Jason had to be rescued by some lifeguards. He badly twisted his ankle next to Newgale Sands, a quick trip to hospital later and the walk was postponed for a few weeks while Jase recovers from his injury. A celebratery BBQ and p*ss-up was had in Broad Haven to celebrate the efforts so far. The Pair peeked on Wednesday when they managed to walk from Porthgain to Solva in a day, 25 miles in 10 hours. You do the math.

The boys Jason and Plumby (with some help from Richy) were doing the walk in order to raise money for the Noahs ark Appeal, the charity that is leading the way in raising money to build and run a children hospital in Wales. Please click here for more information. If you would like to help sponsor the boys or make a donation please contact Plumby or Jase. Brown continues his travels. If you want to see what he's been up to, click here. There are a few photos on the site and you can leave a message in their messages area. Richy is off on his travels on the 26th of August, he’s meeting fellow 6footer Iwan out in Australia. Richy and Iws are then continuing there travels, arriving home in the new year. Iws is already talking of going back out again, he has to return within in a year because of Visa restrictions. Plumby has received confirmaton that his flights are booked for some adventures in New Zeland. He's heading off on the 3rd of November to meet up with some fellow 6footers. More about that soon. Dan and Plumby took on some waves at Newgale on Saturday and Sunday, the surf was pretty crap Sunday, but there was some decent 3/4 footers on Saturday which was enough to keep the boys in the water for 3 hours. More trips are planned this week and on the weekend. If you live in Cardiff and would like to share a lift down to Porthcawl or The Gower please get in touch with Plumby or Dan.

POWERPOINT For anybody any surfers who live in Cardif, Porthcawl and the surrounding beaches are very important. The nearest beaches other than these are the Gower, which is an hour and half’s drive away. Even for dedicated surfers a three hour round trip is enough to put you off. It is of great concern then that the surf at Porthcawl is under threat. A wind-farm has been proposed, to be built 3 miles off Porthcawl at sea. 30 of these windmills are in the designs and the they will effect the surf on the beaches. Whilst there is definitely a call for more renewable energy sources it is important that they are used in the right places without effecting the Marine life, Natural beauty and Tourism of the area they are placed in. As a Cardiff based surfer I am concerned about this proposal, but am confident that the correct decision will be made for the greater god of the people and environment of the area. Both the Surfers against Sewage have and SOSPorthcawl.com have further information on this matter. L   O   N   G   BOARD A bunch of folk from Cornwall have broken the world record for the number of surfers on one board. The new record stands at 14 people. The big event happened at St.Ives on a board that was 37 foot long which weighed 400 pounds. Lets hope this will inspire Plumby and Dan to have another go riding Plumby’s 9’4 together. BUSTED For all surfers based in Pembrokeshire a new surf bus has been launched. Yes no more old cretin bus drivers moaning about you carrying your stick on the bus. These busses are design to hold anything from body board to 10foot Mals. They can also be used by wheelchair and pushbike users, hell you can even bring your mutt along. If you need any more info, email greenways@pembrokeshire.gov.uk.

Added 18- 6 - 2003 SWEATYSWINGERS Yes yes, I know, its been a long time since the last update, but we've been waiting for all the necessary photos to return from "ShittyPrint". Alas they are all now in the necessary place in our photographs section and ready for viewing. Yes the pub golf went ahead last week. The game teed off, only 2 hours later than planed (Cow!), in the Tavistock then proceeding through Cardiff, ending up in The George (for some). The game commenced full throttle through the day, with a select few necking all their pints right up until the stage when I can't remember who was drinking what. Alas, unfortunately the true victor is still not known. Contestants are asked to make their case on our Guestbook, the winner will then me decided. Don’t forget there are 3 beautiful trophies up for grabs and let there be no doubt, all of them have a face value of over £2! Yes that’s £2. In between drinking there has been bouts of surfing. Several bouts in fact, Newgale, Aberauddu and Portcawl all ports of call for our epic team. Here’s a breakdown of our surfing activities: A few 6foot chums took themselves over to Newgale beach a couple of weekends back for a spot of camping, drinking and surfing. Several ales and bottles of wine were consumed, all in the company of a dead seagull. We then took ourselves over to St.Nons head and did some cliff hoping, in the company of some tourists (who paid TYF £35 for the pleasure – suckers!). Check out a picture of Richy in the photos section taking a dive, no change there then. Dan, Danny, Anna and Plumby took on a few small but well formed waves in Porthcawl mid-week. This was the first official 6foot visit to Porthcawl and were duly impressed. Simon Tucker (surf legend) was at hand to dish out hire boards and advice for us, many thanks to him. They group were in the water for a good 2 hours, regular trips to Porthcawl are now on the cards, particularly when Plumby gets his car next week. Finally, Sarah, Dawn, Jason, Gary and Plumby took on some ace waves in Aberauddu this weekend. The group arrived in the small bay expecting to do a bit of cliff jumping only to find perfect surfing conditions. The waves were well formed and holding up well, 2-3ft in regular sets. Plumby was in the water for over 3 hours, he only floated assure when several attacks of cramp started making up drown slightly. PRESTIGEDISASTER As you may well know, on November the 19th last year the Prestige Oil tanker sunk with 77,000 tonnes of heavy fuel on board. The wreckage, now in two parts, lies 3,600 metres underwater, 160 miles off Galicia. The effect of this oil leek first reached France on the 31st of December. Ruining several of the best surf spots in Europe along the Basque coastline (Hossegor, Mundaka, Biarritz etc).

A French company called IFREMER launched a mini submarine at the end of December to take a look at the wreckages. They found 20 separate holes in hull, which are releasing 125 tonnes of oil a day between them. The mini-sub, called the Nautilus, is working to block these holes and hopes to be finished by the end of the spring. These holes are being blocked in order for a more time to be given to a more permanent solution to the problem, currently the metal guards which are being fitted to the holes will only last 10 months due to the immense water pressure that is being put on them due to the depth of the wreckage.

The weather is affecting the amount of oil that arrives on the Basque beach tremendously. The current situation for surfers is that each morning an inspection is made on all the publicly accessible beaches, if it is free of oil it is opened to the public, if traces of oil are found then it is cleared before access is granted. This unfortunately is the only way in which the safety of the public can be guaranteed. Unfortunately it makes it unpredictable whether a surfing trip will involves any surfing. Plumby is going to Biarritz for a small break this weekend and will report back with more information when he returns, lets hope he can get in the water. More information can be found here.

Added 4 - 6 - 2003 NEWLOOK6FOOT Yes this edition sees the launch of the new look 6footsh*t. A few new additions which I’m sure you'll have noticed, like the voting have been added. This week we'll try and find out the truth behind p*ssing in the wetsuit, is it ok or not? We'll have some discussions on this subject next edition.A few bits of team news to report on: Marv has been out of action for a few days, yes he's been calling in to work sick- "Bad throat". The truth behind this drop in motivation is that "British gas are a bunch of C*nts, I’m not sweating my scrot off for them". Fair enough.Plans are said to be going well for Mike the Cow Browns forthcoming trip to South America. Lets hope he remembers to pack the sun tan lotion, we all know how ginger people tend to burn quite badly. I hope for the South Americans sake that he forgets to pack his thong which he's been seen prancing around in a few times.Richy and Plumby could have been spotted in Brechfa forest a week back. The duo took on the bumpy off road challenge on their bikes. With a 3-mile straight up hill at the start of the adventure, the boys did well. One hour, 13Miles, 3 punctures and a f*cked hub later the boys were back in the car park, keen to get some snacks in.

The duo were in action again a few days later, accompanied this time by Cow and Henry in a spot of cliff hoping at St.Nons head. All had fun, even though Cow nearly froze his nob off wearing his Shorty in wintry sea conditions. The highlight of the trip was Henrys classic nose-holding jump technique. Brilliant.Henry took a few days off his hectic social life and visited Marv and Plumby this weekend. Marv and him took a trip into Cardiff castle. Though Henry refused to pay the extra £2 for a guided tour because "I’m not paying that much to walk round a bunch of old stones" - a classic quote for a qualified geologist. SANDSUCKERS A cause that is close to the hearts of all 6footers and 6foot fans is the increasingly worrying problem of sand dredging off the Gower. Basically what happening is that some suckers are "open cast mining" under water, 1000's of tonnes of sand is being removed from the sea bed for industrial use. The effect of this sand removal is great. Not only does it affect some unique marine habitat, resulting in a domino affect in the food chain, the beaches in the surrounding area are becoming increasingly susceptible to coastal erosion.This erosion is changing the appearance and surfability of the beaches. This change in the beaches appearance is also having and effect on the local tourism industry. The levels of sand have dropped so severely some rocks are being revealed which have not been seen in living memoryThere are reports that the effects of this dredging are now starting to appear in Pembrokeshire. This very real and worrying problem is still going on, if you feel that you should do something (YES!) you should visit www.GowerSOS.com. You can learn more about this problem and also what we can do about it.

Added to Archive 20-03-2003 Ok Ok, I know its been a while since we last met, but hey 6footsh*t has been real busy with other online projects (more about that later). Now we'll be honest, we haven't been in the water for over 3 weeks but things have been happening out of the water for the 6foot boys.... Where to start?... some foreign news first:-

Iwan landed safely in Oz in mid January and has been sending the odd report to us via the Guestbook. Hello to you Iw's and here it is, the update you've been waiting for. Now when you gonna send us some snaps eh? Just cos your surrounded by 6 foot tubes all day, we've got the rest of the nobbling winter and 2 foot slush to look forward to and a few snaps of some decent surf might give us some inspiration to hit the water again. Anyway, we hope your ok out there bud. The last thing Iwan mailed me was:-

"Quicksilver pro starts here in 3 days. Reef models are around so I will probably shag for the next 2 weeks. Got to go" - We wish you good luck on your quest.

Two of the 6foot boys were in Scotland last weekend, Mike Brown accompanied by Robby Rees. The pair, together with most of Narberth RFC's seconds team went up to support the Welsh Rugby side in their game against the old enemy Scotland. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, we lost. Mike was on the phone to Plumby on Saturday...

"Fuckin el' Plumby, we lost. I think more beer is needed to numb the pain"

Marvo has landed himself a job for British gas, well done to him. He has been in fine fettle over the last few weeks during the 6 nations championship. Some snaps of him in action have been added to the photo section.

Plumby has been getting involved with some live music. He was recently spotted naked in the recent Feeder gig in Newport. Here’s what he said:

"Fuck me, I was doing a bit of crowd surfing like, so i thought it was be funny if I did it naked, so I took all my clothes off, down to the buff like, but nobody would pick me up!" - What a surprise Plumby. This story of disappointment was re-told on the Radio1 Welsh program last Thursday. Listen in, there's talk of a game of golf here in Cardiff in early April. Pub golf that is! More news to follow shortly. In the meantime, go and buy yourself some Golf like clothes. Twead, yellow socks, pringle jackets etc. Oh, and best get some drinking practice in, your garden, in the local club, or like Marvs dad, the local park.Now a little bit about the project mention earlier. Well as you may or may not know, Plumby is a graphic designer by trade, in his spare time when he's not paddling around in sea he takes the odd photo. Well, he's built a website to showcase some of the photos he's taken. Pixelpimp.net is now open for visitors.

Thats all for now, be sure to check out some of the new Links and Snaps. Nice, real nice.

Added to Archive 6-03-2003 Hello there. Welcome to another edition of 6footsh*t, for those of you who are new to this website -where have you been! You've missed out on so much, but rest assured you can read up on all past happenings by using the news archive page here in the future you can click on the link at the bottom of the page, or there are some feisty tales in our articles section. We've also added a new Links section to the site, we've added links of relevance to us, as surfers, South Walians and most of all folk looking for some laughs. Please take a look in particlulr at the www.gower-sos.com a site that is trying make all Surfers, in particular South Wales folk, aware of the damage that sand dredging is doing to the Coast. This is a serious problem and I'd ask you all to go to the site and send emails to each of the people listed in the Protest Section. You can also download a petition for folk to sign, either here or on the website. Its important that we make a move now, before they f*ck our beaches up for ever.

So, since the last edition we've had a few adventures. Iwan has made a successful return to the water. After 6 weeks out of action to recover from a hernia operation he put his toe in the blue juice at Manorbier for the first time on Saturday, Plumby was at hand to witness this emotional event. Iwans last wave of the session was incredible, he picked up on the far right side of the beach, surfed over the razor sharp reef and wiped out graciously as the wave closed in on him. Incredible! Well-done Iw's glad to see you back in the water to inspire the rest of us. Its not long now before Iwan has to pack his bags and head off to the other side of the world. Yes as mentioned before Iwans off to Oz on the 29th. Good luck fella, make sure you keep in touch and we hope to see you back here Pembs in a year, safe and well.

This week 6 foot sh*t looks set to shatter the 1000 hit barrier. We've f*ckin done it folk! Anybody involved in 6footsh*t in any way (that's you! Your reading this aren't you?) go and buy yourself a beer and toast your favourite surf site - 6foosh*t.co.uk. When we get the chance and when the weather is a bit better we'll have a couple of cans on Newgale sands, then f*ck off into the Duke to play space invaders and smoke a couple of rollies.

This summer Plumby is going to organise a walk of Pembrokeshire's coastal path, all of it, in one big event. The walk will be organised to support the recently announced building of a Children's hospital in Wales. The Noah's Arc appeal has been in the press a lot with some high profile celebs (Daren Day, Charlotte Church) getting involved in the fund raising. For more information please take a look here. Now 6footsh*t is putting its name to the job (or www.numb-nuts.co.uk as we'll be known to avoid swearing). Those of you interested in getting involved please read up by looking at their website and keep watching this space for more news of the walk as and when the plans are put together.

The quest of spreading the 6-foot word is continuing. Links are being added on other surf sites around the country and we're picking up a lot of hits from outside the usual band of folk. The people of Britain (and a bloke from the US) are coming back for more and more of the 6foot banter. Its important that we all try and add some stories\snaps or anything else worthy of sharing, just email the your warez to Plumby (plumby@6footsh*t.co.uk)and he'll post it by the next edition. The sicker\funnier the stories or photos the better. 6footsh*t is for life, not just for christmas.

Keep happy.

Added to Archive 24-01-2003 Happy New Year to all you 6footers! Christmas has come and gone and its time to get back to work. The Christmas period was a good one, all the boys were back in Narberth area, apart from 'Enry who was being roughed up by some roughnecks in the north sea (which was rough). Hello to him if he's reading, we missed you Al, hope to sea you soon.

Unlucky to Marv, we know 2002 was a hard year for you and the start of 2003 was also hard, so we hope its... soft soon :) Aight. With a bit of luck Paul Bowens present will bring some luck for you. Congratulations to a 6foot member (has to remain anonymous for legal reasons) for achieving one of his ambitions in life (KR) , the step from good friend to bad lover is never an easy one, we wish you both luck in the next stage of your relationship.

Iwans in the final stages of preparation, he's off travelling for a year on the 29th of January. Iw's, good luck fella, don't forget to pack the 6footsh*t T-shirt. Speaking of which, the 6-foot-sh*t t-shirts are now available, a professionally made batch have been made, 1 small, 2 mediums and 2 large are available. First come first serve... get them while you can.

So, you may have noticed the new addition to 6footsh*ts armoury, a Webcam! We'll try to have it running as often as possible. Please bare with us while we find the best spot in our house for it, expect it to be in operation most nights.

So, 6footsh*t is looking for a new name. Plumby is having trouble promoting the site because other websites are reluctant to hold links to here because of the swear word in the title. If any of you guys have any ideas for a new name please let us know using the guestbook. Names so far include.... www.brownandfloating.co.uk, www.bigandwet.co.uk, www.numb-nuts.co.uk, www.swollenandmoist.co.uk, www.numb-nuts.co.uk... a decision has to be made, so if you have any suggestions yourself or like one of these names let us know. Hope your all good and let’s hope 2003 is a classic!

6Footsh*t.co.uk

Added to Archive 12-01-2003 Aight! Well if it isn't the 19th of December! Looks like we'd better get the crimbo gifts in pronto and of course.... start saving up for next year. Well,, a merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of our faithful 6footsh*t followers. The year of 2003 promises to be a belter! Be sure to live every day as if its your last, so f*ck what i just said about saving for next year, blow all available cash on essential items and non-essential items alike, such as new winter wetsuit clobber, gloves, hoods and that extra can of coke before entering the water for that all essential p*ss in the suit. Christmas feist to all. What news then eh? Well lets kick-off with some news of Marvo and Plumbys outing to Bath last weekend. It was a blinder, if you don't believe us, take a look at the Photos section for some sure evidence of their exploits, but be warned its really disturbing stuff. Yes the two team members where on a pub-crawl in Bath dressed as Mrs Claws. On Saturday the dragged themselves across to the Recreational Ground to watch Bridgend get dicked on by Bath in a Parker Pen game (Rugby). The boys pulled out all the stops..... the photos section.

Browncow was in the Bristol area this weekend too attending a party of a close friend Wayne Beynon, though the boy Cow was keen to return to Nottingham to attend to a potential new lover, an Irish wench called Graham O'rioden.

Aight to all the other 6footsh*t team, no news of their ware bouts for now, but as crimbo is fast approaching tales of debauchery, mockery and of course surfing should be a plenty in the next addition of 6footsh*t.co.uk.

Once again, we'd like to wish everyone faithful to the 6footsh*t cause a very happy Christmas and a messy new years.

Added to Archive 11-12-2002 So here we are again 6foot folk. News, news, let me think, well there was an excursion to the Gower last weekend. So Plumby, Ali, Dale, Jason and a guy i never got the name of arrived in Llangennith beach early on Saturday morning looking to take on some slightly polluted Gower waves. En'route Plumby picked up a 9ft swifty and some winter wetsuit gear. Things were going well until he took on a 4footer on his rented stick, he took off ok and managed to get to his feet with minimum of trauma, then things went a bit tits up. As things were going surprisingly well for this normally dog-sh*t surfer he decided to edge his way to the front of the board and try a bit of nose riding. He made his way forward, then without any sign of danger Plumby buried the nose of the bored under the water and wiped out. When he looked up he saw the back of the bored about 30 ft away from the front of it. Yes it had snapped. Check out the photos section for the evidence.

As for the rest of the team... Cow is visiting Bristol this weekend for a Crimbo party, Marvo and Plumby are off on a fancy dress pub crawl in Bath on friday then watching the Bridgend vs Bath game on Saturday. Henry is still in the north sea as far as anyone knows. Iwan is still recovering from the gash in his groin, he is able to walk now, handy.

Things need to be organised for Crimbo and new years celebrations guys. Theres talk of fancy dress in Tenby, any ideas? Let's party like its 1999. Reply to the 6-foot mailing list with any suggestions. Feisty.

Well thats all for now. Be sure to check out the new Desktop and the new Snaps.

The 6foot team x x x

Added to Archive 11-12-2002 Hi there. Well what’s been happening on the 6foot front then? Well not too much really. The boys have been doing their own thing of late, though Marvo has moved in with Danny and Plumby at last in their Cardiff ranch. Iwans had the snip... well he's had his Hernia stitched up anyway. On a recent excursion to Newgale Iwan came to watch, Plumby and Plumbys brother Steve where in stitches watching Iwan hobble round Tesco on the traditional post-surf snack binge. Steve was reported to have said "You look like an old man, a f*ckin perverted old man at that". We hope Iwan makes a full recovery soon, surfing trips aren’t the same without him in the water to inspire us.

A few friend took to the Watching David Gray a few weekends back, some photos of the man himself have been added to the photos section. The same weekend as this took place we said our emotional goodbye's to Timothy Griffiths, off travelling for a year. A few emails have been received from him and it seem he's enjoying his travels so far. Good stuff.

A couple of the 6ft boys where in the company of a very famous actor.... well an actor anyway. Dafydd Gwyn popped down for the weekend and stayed in Cardiff, you may not recognise the name but he was a drug dealer in an S4C series called "Rownd a Rownd".

As in past reports, Cow has still not been seen for a while, we hope he is well. Richy was a bit shy of the water last weekend, deciding to work instead of take on some waves, hopefully in will be able to get involved in the forthcoming surfing weekend...... Yes the 6foot exiles Ali and Dale are coming down the Welsh coast again this weekend, hitting the waves early on Saturday hopefully. A big weekend of blue juice is planned. nice, real nice.

The surf has been pretty big of late, but slightly messy maybe. The BBC reported waves of 8ft in Whitesands this week. Fuckin ell'!

Well there you have it, be sure to take a look at the new snaps, David Gray and a few others.

Take it easy out there.

The 6 foot team. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Added to Archive 04-12-2002 After a good weekend on the waves the 6foot team members have returned to their respective pads. Yes the boys where in action this weekend, accompanied by guest surfer Danny Thomas. Starting on Saturday with Newgale and finishing in Manorbier on Sunday. The waves where feisty in both venues, but particularly so in Manorbier, reaching 5 foot face at times. Plumby was seen standing up and Danny was seen kneeling, not bad for his first attempt on the waves. A highlight of the weekend was seeing Iwan take on 4 footer and ride it right across the length of Manorbiers beach. Nice, real nice. Henry was noticed by his absence, when asked on Saturday evening why he didn't want to get invovled in the days activities, he simply said "Surfings for poofs". Fair do's.

Between surfing stints a few ales where consumed in Narberth, with an early kick-off to the drinking (4:30 to watch the Wales vs. Fiji rugby game) things were bound to get messy, as they did with a mystery spewer crusting up Plumbys toilet wall in the early hours. Most of the boys narrowly avoided the weird drunken magnetism of the Sands, unfortunately Richy took the Sands bull by the horn but survived to tell the tale on Sunday. At this point we'd like to wish Marvo a quick recovery after having his nads squeezed in a suspiciously gay defensive move from Robert Jones in a small scuffle in the Dragon. After a shady Kebeb from Narberths appropriately titled "Kebab house" the boys retired to the afore mentioned Plumb residence.

A good weekend was had by all, be sure to return to 6footsh*t.co.uk in the near future for more photos of this classic weekend.

Thanks to all involved, making it a weekend to remember.

Plumby

Added to Archive 11-11-2002 Things have been happening in the 6footsh*t world. Iwan has booked his ticket for travelling around the world, he's leaving on New years eve and won't be back for a f*ckin year!!! He's reported to be " excited as a spider monkey with a boxing glove" Insanity, more on that next time, we'll try and find out where he's going. On that note, a friend of the 6foot team, Timothy Griffiths is going travelling for a year in 3 weeks, good luck to him from all at 6footsh*t.co.uk.

Plumby has finally made the move up to Cardiff, he's even found himself a f*ckin Job! What a dick. There's talk of a house warming party in a few weekends time! When a date is set we'll be sure to let you know. Congratulations to our web designer extraordinaire, he's recently won a Best New Media newcomer award 2002, decided by the Welsh Media Agency, what a arsesuckersucker.

Marvo is still in the Pembs area as is Richy, the surf conditions have been pretty good of late, slightly messy maybe, lets hope the boys are taking advantage of it before the big freeze kicks in. Ice-cream-haed.org

Browncow was down in the hills this week, he made the trip down from Nottingham during his reading week. It was good to see him, tough when he started his shady dancing routine in the Union it was not so good to be in his company.

Added to Archive 03-11-2002 Well, well well. Things have been moving nicely along in the lives of the 6foot team. So, were to start, well Marvo has been putting the last few touches to his reverse park and three-point-turn, he's got his driving test this coming Monday, in Haverfordwest at 3 o'clock. If you want to f*ck it up for him, you know where and when. Good luck to him though. Back in the day when he wasn’t a driver he used to have a motto "some people are meant to drive, some people are meant to be driven". Not anymore, thank f*ck.

Plumby is back from his trip to Munich, be sure to visit the photos section next week for some exclusive snaps of his trip. There’s a particular snap were he appears to be unconscious but standing up, in the Photos secion now! Chers to Damo Clark for wiring them to Plumby in good time to make this edition of 6footsh*t.co.uk.

Speaking of photos, 6footsh*t has smashed through the 50 photo mark! Theres now 51 snaps for you to oggle over. ooooooooooo get in there!

Iwan and Plumby took themselves out to Newgale on Thursday for a bit of wave action. A classic time was had by the pair, Iwan managing to get out back and riding 2 waves in total, were-as Plumby had a f*ckin nightmare and took on 1 wave in all on his 8 foot plank. Not the easiest thing to duckdive and therefore no chance of getting to the good stuff. Richy was given the opportunity to come along, he declined as it was about 12 o'clock midday but still drunken from the previous nights exploits in Carmarthen. The classic Wednesday scenario of Bars then Union we can only conclude.

Plumby and Marvo continue to seek employment in the Cardiff area with hourly phone calls to Cardiff based agencies. As yet no luck though. If any of you 6foot fanatics have any work, such as Toilet cleaning, Arse wiping or other such pleasurable vocations, we are only happy to help out. Yes, things are tight in the $ department.

You may remember that Pembs FM announced the marriage of Marvo and Webb, well if you take a sniff at the Downloads section you'll find the very moment it was announced, caught on Video with full sound. MPEG'd just like Richy likes em!

Freelance web-design at www.tp3.co.uk. <-- Plumby the cheeky f*cker, using to 6foot to advertise his sh*t.

Nice, real nice.

Added to Archive 02-10-2002 Bo Selector! Fuckin news galore this week 6-foot-fans. For starters 6footsh*t.co.uk has had some changes made to it. The old Quotations section has been sacked off and a bran new Downloads section has been added. Spunkon gooood. This new section holds a plethora of goodies for your average 6footer to cream their pants over, such as some Desktops to make your computer look feisty, some new Monkey Smuggler tunes and some Videos showing Richy and Iwan getting nasty on some Cliffs. Hope you enjoy the new treats.

Also good luck to Richy, he's pursuing a new lady who he met in Sands last week, 6-foot wish him the best of luck and we hope that all the 6-foot fellas get an invite to the Engagement Party, Wedding and Christening parties, though not necessarily in that order.

A massive Pembs FM big-up to Browncow he has been in contact and has proved that he is alive. We are waiting for a particularly amusing article from him about an incident he was involved in a few weeks ago, involving naked ladies and some tackling pads.

Congratulations to Marvo, member of the 6-foot outfit who got engaged to Hannah web last week, or so it said on Pembs FM anyway. We at 6-foot would like to re-iterate what Pembs FM said and also wish them a happy life together.

Good luck to Plumby, he's off on Saturday to spew in the Munich beer festival for the weekend.

Coming soon... Pictures of the New 6footsh*t.co.uk T-shirt. Its in its early testing stages and will be availble from next week priced at only £5!

So what are you waiting for? Get into the new section and involve yourself with some 6-foot offerings.

Over and out.

Added to Archive 26-09-2002 Two of the 6-foot-sh*t exiles made their way down to the 6foot patch last weekend for a few days of surfing action. Dale and Ali (featured in the Raffa Club story in the articles section of this website) made their way down from London on Friday night. Manorbier (2ft), Aberaiddy and a drinking session in Narberthon Saturday, Newgale (1-2ft)and Whitesands (2ft)on Sunday. A good laugh was had by all. Cheers to them for coming down.

Plumby, Marvo and a fella called Dan were in Cardiff on Thursday and Friday of this week looking for a place to live. The threesome (plutonic) are moving into a feisty house on Russell street on the 1st of October. Good luck to them. In the meantime Richy is completing a placement week in Narbeth CP before starting a teaching course. Cow, hasn't been heard from since he left for Nottingham several weeks ago, we hope he is ok and will contact us soon.

Plumby is off to Munich on the 28th to take on some ales at this years Octoberfest beer festival. Lets hope he puts Wales on the "drinking map', not the "being sick then going home ill" map.

There are some new snaps in the Photos section, be sure to check them out!
