this year it will be in september, so if you go on our homepage and click the funky td logo you will get confused because it's still connected to last year TD page (as many people already know i'm totally retarded when it comes to computer, but soon i'll find somebody to redirect the link to the new 2009 info)

Yes, Roman had bad luck during Rab Dive Off and started to dive with a noodle stuck into his monofin :head. Is sucks.
 
I see you're already taking a piss on Kathryn Mc Phee.

This week I hope to get confirmation and have you get the TD admission money.

Kars
 
Ok, here's a hint 1:

- what is one doing when taking a piss?

Hint 2: it's not such a difficult joke, when you check the participants list...

Love, Courage, insight and Water.

Kars

- in regard to the 'confirmation', is the approval from my employer.

Ok, Linda left the joke still in, ok, it's a small joke not everyone gets, let alone have anyone mcpee in his pants from laughter.
 
hehe finally someone got it... I was starting to doubt myself.. Am I so much off the wall?

Ok, maybe someone wants to share a hotel room with me in Dahab?

Thanks for the results Linda!

What happened to Alana? I've heard other reports that she did a white card performance.

Wish I was over there, working in a crappy office in Brisbane ain't the same as diving in Dahab!

Cheerio,
Ben
 
hey ben,

alana got a red card first, which she protested, which became white.
she got a white card also today in cwt, with a dive to 35 m.

mike keeps being a chicken and turning early :)

see all the results of today, and the partial with the points on the blog:
