At least he let it borrow his skirt for the picture.

Santana's summer house.

/serious though, I know a lot of people who would give up their current life now and go live like he's doing in the photo.

FTFM, autocorrect

Mugato: He's not really a "castaway" just because he lives on an island.


The correct term is "hermit".

/english, motherfarkers, do you speak it?

meh, they lost me at "He also still trades stocks using an online trading account"

I remember seeing a TV program on this guy. Restoration Island used to be a desolate rock, until this guy planted trees and other vegetation on it. Now it's a paradise, and IIRC the program said the Australian government had taken possession of it and let him live on it for as long as he lived. I guess that was contingent on him building a small resort on the island for environmentally conscious tourists, though.

Correction: Hermit Slacker.

Living off crabs and coconuts, and connected to solar-powered internet, David Glasheen has enjoyed a life of private tranquillity his dog Quasi

Oh, a real modern day Robinson Crusoe. I wonder how anyone ever caught up with him.

he wasn't there illegally, he paid $13k per year to live there, but the douchewitz never bothered to build facilities he promised to build 20 years ago as part of his contract living there...so they want him gone

kick him off and into a dirty street somewhere

In most places in America as a squatter he would be granted the land based on the improvements he had already made to the land

So let me get this straight.. Rich Stock guy and his rich Stock friends agree to build a resort for the public in exchange for reduced lease... They lose money in gambling stocks.. and decide the island is just at his disposal? doesn't sound like an entitled rich coont playing the victim at all...

Simple solution: build a series of bamboo huts a la Gilligan's Island. It wouldn't take long, and loonies like me would rent them in a shot. Hell, you could make it a theme park of sorts, and challenge the renters to build coconut radios and bamboo limousines.

Why did they list the island's area in hectares, though? 3.7 acres is easier to picture for most people.

brianbankerus: He's now castaway. He's a loon.

Actually, he is very sane and very smart. And very crooked. He abrogated a contract with the Australian government then chose to live there for 20 years with no intention of trying to make right on breaking his contract.

Brilliant. But he belongs in prison for what he did.

Looks like there's no shortage of food on that little rock.

Hey, it's Herman Toothrot!

Man, that guy got that gut from a diet of crabs and coconut? Call the UN, we've found the cure for world hunger.

He brews his own beer. 'Nuff said.

Wonder if his dentist is Dr. Spalding.

/Or if FedEx delivers to his island.

'You soon learn in the bush to survive. If you don't you die pretty quickly."

Such as, trading stocks via an online account brought to him by solar powered Internet and Internet dating.

Bear Grylls you're doing it wrong

Fark, dude...just move to the mainland and set up camp. It's only a hundred meters or so away.

He's a '70s porn star?

Put another shrimp in Barbie!

He's not crazy. He's just a Queenslander.

I wonder if he's growing peanuts.

"'My only hope is for a mermaid to turn up on the beach.' A girlfriend had initially moved to the island, 1,500 miles from Queensland capital Brisbane, with Glasheen but found life there too difficult. He is visited occasionally by passing yachtsmen, kayakers and groups of organic farmers."

So that's what happened to Johnny Castaway.

/For the youngins that don't know who Johnny is.

We need to see the contract details first.

It was for 43 years. It's been 20 years. That leaves 23 more years for him to build whatever it was he needs to build. Until I see specified time targets in the contract, the complainers should STFU.

Organic farmers....hehehe. In the old days the cops call them Cultivators .
