The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

The Almighty CabchargeOnce upon a time two small boys tried to get to schoolies week in Byron Bay. Unfortunately our easy overnight ride turned into a 2 night fucking busride from hell due to a cow/camel (they couldn't pick one on the PA) killing itself somewhere on the track. We spied two other mates from school, still waiting on the train tracks (which were completely deserted) looking for a train that was never arriving. We all pile onto the (shit) bus and one of them reveals a full smoke packet of blue speed. The trip passed quickly from Melbourne to about the NSW boarder where a small indigenous lad boarded the bus and proceeded to take a piss everywhere but the toilet bowl, a lovely little stream emerging from the cubicle and snaking through the aisle. My three mates found this hilarious as they were completely retarded, but I couldn't see the humour.
Entered Sydney finally and found that our next connecting train was delayed because of bushfires. Enough is efuckingnough. Given blank cabcharge courtesy of CountryLink trains and told to board our next bus on the other side of town after the cab trip. Informed cab driver I was an employee of the service and needed to get up to Grafton tut sweet to survey situation. Charged $750 to the most incompetant fucking company on earth and cut a full bushfire and several hours from the trip (we would have gone right to Byron but the bloke needed to get home to his wife).
