Marcus Donsworth headed down to his local last Thursday when the south swell hit the east coast. There he watched Robbie 'Rodent' Coote living up to his nickname scurrying into and out of plenty of filthy shacks, making a clean escape out of most of them. The Rodent pushed his luck though and got swatted on a late one. However, like all good vermin he fought it to the death.
