Firstly, I should explain that every OC in this is names after a cricketer (the both of us being somewhat...enthusiastic...about the game *g*) and their personalities occasionally come through.
Ok, the boat thing (and I'm having to remove all my Australian bias here). There's an English cricketer called Andrew Flintoff who has been given the nickname 'Freddie.' He's a great player and vice captain of the English team (who aren't as bad as they first appear to be - they can beat Australia on a good day.)
Now, the cricket World Cup is on at the moment and after their loss to New Zealand, a few of the English team went out on the town and got a little out of hand, shall we say *g* Apparently he capsized a pedalo...
He was fined, suspended for a match and stripped of his vice captaincy - which is a lot better that what he'd get if he was a middie!!!
