Braveheart Award!!

Many times have we seen impersonations of “they can take our lives, but he can’t take our freedom!!!”. But on very few occasions have we ever born witness to such a stirring speech in the making.

When presented with a group of mountain men, fading into comforts of the lounge in front of fireplace after a long drive and open bar in man wagons, Stevie realised there was a call to arms and strode out in front of the troops to make a speech that had all men charging into the front lines. Containing such classics as:

• “Do I have to remind everyone, that we’ve just driven for 6 hours.. to be here!”
• “Seriously, when is the next time that all of you.. will be here.. again?”
• “I’m the young one of the group that can’t hold my piss and Charlie’s has had me drinking straight whiskey in the back of the car for the last 4 hours and I’m ready to go out, what’s your excuses?”

This almost made up for the stocking on his head he wore as an excuse for a beenie all weekend.

While it may have been tempting to give Stevie some sort of award based on his 5 spews on Friday night, we square the blame for this squarely on Charlie’s shoulders. How is any man supposed to handle straight whiskey, followed by coconut vodka and pineapple? Seriously?!

Known as Uncle Steebee to his adoring nephew and niece, Stevie rounds out the family representation for the weekend. Pene’s youngest brother will also be the youngest man on tour. Any potential inexperience of youth is more than made up for in match fitness. This navy trained individual has recently completed trips to Europe and the States, and understands fully the attrition his liver will shortly be presented with.

Commitment unwavering, Stevie will hold his elder statesmen to cause and ensure that fresh legs provide adequate pace setting for the road trip that beckons.
