A few years ago I was firing up at Belgrave and he was riding in the van
behind us. Next moment you see a long pole with stereo foam mic sticking
over the bunker. A quick flick of the cab hose saw the pole being rapidly
zipped back into the van amidst heaps of cursing and swearing in some
foreign sounding language. But then, I'm a bit of a bastard....

A mate of mine was on a trip a few years ago - steamer was bouncing along
out in the middle of nowhere. Mate was hanging out of the window looking
back when suddenly something bonked him in the head. Had a good look and
realised that Reggie was in the next carriage ahead and the foam off his mic
blew off in the wind!!!
