Finally My Clich\u00e9 has come back\u2026<\/h2>

*DISCLAIMER: this post is a big VBJ to my pal Mike<\/em>*<\/p>

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, hot as hell, and I was working from home dealing with the usual bullsh*t - Tracey wants ink cartridges, people don't know how to log in to the computer and so on.<\/p>

For the past month, or so, my best pal Mike had been teasing me with his impending return to the UK. He spends the winter doing a snowboard season in the alps and comes back to the UK for the summer, spreading his time between family, surfing and friends.<\/p>

When Mike comes home, to me, it's like when the WWF builds up the return of The Rock in the good ol days of wrestling. Y'know, every message is like a new vignette each week on Raw building his return\u2026<\/p>

Anyway, Mike had been spending the end of spring building a bowl in the alps with one of the founders of Maverick skateparks<\/strong><\/a> - no joke, Mike is LITERALLY this cool! - and we've been talking about building a mini ramp for years, so were planning on getting it done when he came back this time round. His recent experience will prove most fruitful!<\/p>

\"3shkbztxoqjwb19doc63c8w7gzf3eiaafxjgodt6gmzexi4z.png\"As an aside - I had a bone to pick with Maverick skateparks and I wanted Mike to pick it for me. On the maverick website, there's a section that says, if you want a skatepark, to contact them and they'll support you throughout the application, design and build of a skatepark for your town. I put together a solid case when I was drunk as f*ck and am absolutely disgusted by the fact that my idea wasn't picked out of the millions (AND MILLIONS) of ideas that likely get submitted to maverick skateparks every day - this is like when I wrote to dairylea all over again.<\/p>

Sort it out, Mike!<\/p>

So, here I am, at my dining table, tapping away - \u201cNO, TRACEY, YOUR F*CKING INK CARTRIDGES HAVEN'T ARRIVED YET!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>
