IR Baboon Bandito

General Good Egg Bandito

I.R. Bandito: illiterate, anonymous monkey smuggler from North Africa. Long standing animated love/hate relationship with I.M. Weasel. A relatively new Bandito, his name comes from a source known only to himself, which may or may not involve a very lax IT manager who enjoyed viewing the finer side of the web whilst at work. He's recently completed the blazing of a trail around the southern hemisphere with his lovely missus, spreading the love to the far corners of the globe and has now taken up residence in the hillier end of the country, closer to 'proper' hills and people with funny accents.

A veritable god on 2 wheels with the ability to climb, climb and climb. Most at home on rocky descents on Lakeland Fells. Recent connections to Mackenzie clan have led to regular jaunts to this Mecca. The more technical the trail, the better. Despite claims to be non-competitive, rush-hour commuting leads to regular thrashing of mopeds. Every other cyclist is a target.

Lover of fine beer, especially Fraoch.

Has been seen attempting to ride the surf in Byron Bay. Emphasis on "attempt". More at home with a board strapped to his feet on the snow. Although that isn't much better. Seems to be in the process of rebuilding his finely-honed physique with scar-tissure.
