Didn't take long for the jokes to start... Love him or hate him, Steve really was a genuine guy. Believe it or not, that character wasn't put on for the public. Pacifier went to school with him & reckons he hasn't changed a bit.
In saying that, don't get me wrong, I'm not taking offence (although Pacifier might... think he's in denial (no river jokes please...)). Minutes after I found out, a text came through about him forgetting to wear his sunscreen that would've kept the harmful rays away
.
To be honest, I reckon any jokes that come out of this, Steve would laugh at more than the rest of us. After all, we Aussies are known for taking the mickey out of ourselves (or so I believe).
I just think it's ironic that he was killed by something as generally harmless as a stingray. Pacifier reckons "he deserved to be eaten & shat out by a croc"...

If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

hadnt heard this, probably because we are a couple of weeks behind with Aussie races. cant speak about the marital affairs but used to love the Bathurst mountain course got to be one of my favourite tracks especially con rod straight.
