Our kind friend Dougie once spent a good 15 minutes trying to teach me the difference between Ruggers and Stubbies. Unfortunately I was too distracted by his manly thighs to listen, so for now let's call them 'man shorts'.

The Untitled Shop
Shopping for threads on Brunswick Street used to be a joke. Luckily, on his way home from a foot massage, Fredrik (ex Hem&Haw) bumped into the boys from Who Am Eye. "My feet feel great, we should open up a store together", "Now that's an idea!", the boys exclaimed. "Yay," said Humphrey.

Our Spot online
Note: Our Spot online closed mid 2009 noes!
The internet is a scary place these days. If it isn't an ad for weight loss berries, it's the bankrupted Nigerian princes that will get you. So when you're pretty sure you have Ross Twitter Fever it's a sweet relief to stumble upon a serene oasis like Our Spot.
