The unhappiest traveller...

And the award for grumpiest person on a plane goes to...

ROB SKELTON!

Rob struggled to fit his lanky six foot something frame into even Qatar's generous seats. He couldn't stretch his legs out at all, and by the time we were half way through the flight from Doha to Osaka he'd pretty much given up on ever being happy again.

But as I type this, Rob is figuring out the kettle in our room and making tea. You should see the happy little grin on his face as he prepares his Five Roses...

One of our favourite people

Between Heydinger declaring that people are "the worst", Matt insisting on moderation in all things, and my general grumpy state, there aren't all THAT many people that we like (apart from our respective girlfriends fantastic, of course).

But Niell is one of those people that we all agree is awesome. Nothing seems to phase him, he's from Namibia (although he'll deny this if you ask him) and he likes a good pair of pink ear muffs.

One of the things we like about Niell is his hair. Sort of. So here's part of the story of Niell's hair.

It used to look like this:

Then Tim (and the UCT Ultimate team) cut off his luscious mane:

And now (at least some of the time) Niell looks like this:

Despite now looking like a HUGE lesbian, Niell has managed to stay awesome. Although he still has to shout, "I'm a DUUUDE!!" on the line before a point, otherwise girls will match up across from him.

And that's Niell.
