Crazy love.
It ain’t easy being the people’s champ, surfing’s everything to everybody. And it’s especially true around Tweed Heads and the Gold Coast,
I lived there ten years, got beaten unconscious, attacked with a glass bottle by a soon-to-become-famous shaper (the swing missed me and hit pal), got picked up on the street mid-fight with a drunk girlfriend by undercover cops who pulled her aside and told her, “You want us to hurt him? We can hurt him”, houses broken into, cars stolen, usual.
Therefore it didn’t surprise when Stephanie Gilmore got belted by a homeless schizophrenic junkie in the stairwell of her apartment in Tweed Heads in 2010.
As reported one month ago, a woman was charged with the unlawful stalking of three-time world champ Mick Fanning and breaking into his house with intent and two counts of stealing.
Sarah Foote, a thirty-eight-year-old from Ballina, same age as Mick, is accused of following Fanning between January 29 and February 4, the break-in of Mick’s pretty beachfront joint in Tugun allegedly happening on Feb 2.
“When someone walks into your house, it’s concerning, so that’s why I called the police,” he told the Gold Coast Bulletin. “I know the details of it, I was there, I look after people in my house and that’s what I am doing.”
Foote is accused of sending “rambling hand-written letters with accusations of pedophilia, declarations of love for Fanning and thoughts of wanting to kill him.”
The woman, who looks nice enough if you like mysterious blondes, was bailed on the condition she stayed hell out of Queensland except for court appearances.
Yesterday, Ms Foote had her bail conditions changed and was given permission to relocate to Brisbane, and goes back to court on March 26.
Steady on. He’s a dog food entrepreneur…
the bottle wielding shaper tho?
Sometimes a sneaky root comes back to bite you. Mick prob has women like this lined up 10 deep From the Eugene days. Just cause you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Great place, got king hit, threatened at knife and (alleged) gun point, rooted a prossie that
lived in a tent in a caravan park, escaped a bumming from a middle-aged freak that reckoned he was mates with Munga Barry, and spent hours in pointless traffic to get to even worse parts of the same shithole. Was the shaper DH? He’s a real cunt at heart, and generally.
Heath Ledger as The Joker dressed as a nurse…
I am wondering if he had sexy time with her once and then did a runner thinking that was the end of it …
Probably half a dozen times between 15 to 20 years ago, and then a few more times about 5 to 10 yrs ago, sort of thing.
You’d have to be leaning toward some definite history…
In an era where everyone is “following” everyone’s every movement and commenting, please define stalking?
When they appear in your living room
I was at Bombay Rock in the 80’s saw a full on west side story, organized brawl out front. Me and my colleagues were ushered out at great haste. Fucking wild frontier. They were all there the next night like nothing happened.
If girls were like that the world would be a happier place.
That place rocked!!
True that, great times
You know that corona science is a little bit like climate science. Anti Vax? Want some cake with your cake?
Hysterical fear mongering?
Yes I know.
Agreed. But that wasn’t the tone of my comment. You just lumped me in with a bunch o dip shit leftists.
OK so what I meant was
guys can fight and get over it quick
But girls hang onto that shit like a chanel handbag
We clear or am I just dumb?
You present a good argument.
Dammit.
Well… I always thought of the Gold Coast as being a beautiful destination for a tropical highrise apartment holiday with white sand beaches washed by warm pacific waters boasting an array of restaurants serving all kinds of international cuisines and a welcoming karaoke bar.
Everybody welcome Mayor Tate to the table!
I had to look him up, but good call.
“I always thought of the Gold Coast as being a beautiful destination for tropical highrise apartments”
FIFY.
Hate to see the size of bikinis on those apartments.
Is it still considered cribbing if its your own work?
Scum valley on the other hand..what an earthly paradise..
A feast for the senseless!!
Hold on.
I reckon 90% of that is C/P from the previous article on this woman-who-looks-suspiciously-like-Eugene-in-drag.
I’ll put aside the article cloning for now, but let’s put it this way; have those two ever been seen in the same room together? (the
plastic dollspeople concerned, not the articles)I bet she goes to the valley.
My fav place.
Valley of the plastic dolls?
The Uncanny Valley
If she has a belly tat I think I sang a karaoke duet with her one night.
I hope you had separate mics
“The woman, who looks nice enough…”
Are you blind Derek ? Or just feeling very unwell today ?
Looks like 1970’s Mick Jagger on psych drugs
Or that guy from Clockwork Orange.
With a touch of Heath Ledger as the Joker in the nurses uniform…
The first articles description of her was absolute gold.
”The woman, who looks nice enough if you like pushy blondes”
And heck, I’m not completely averse to an occasional “pushy blonde” per se, but crikey I say mate criiikey
I think Dreks got his “2am any port in a storm” goggles on.
I ve heard you can breed the pushiness out of sheep if your persistent
With a complection somewhere between gin blossom and meth addled dehydration..
