Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m a little excited about the Moto GP coming to Philip Island in October. Every year it’s a weekend of drunken hilarity.

You camp track-side, drink until you pass out (generally sometime in the afternoon), wake up a few hours later, start drinking again, pass out again, wake up in the morning to the sound of the screaming 2-stroke engines of the 125 s which is horribly painful considering the splitting headache you have. At which point you start drinking again and repeat for the rest of the weekend.

So you can imagine my concern when I read this: “Under the latest proposal, two accommodation villages would be built on the golf course and a third village would be built next to an area currently used for camping during the Australian leg of the international MotoGP.”

Fuck you Lindsay Fox - got back to your helipad in Portsea!
