"Im Bored". These two words gave birth to Shawson And Co as you know it, back in 2001.

What is SHAWSON&Co?

A catalogue of all the recent adventures, stunts and funny stories Me and my Mates documented during our questionably spent student years. We did these when we got bored. Armed with a digital camera, we try to find something amusing to do to entertain you guys, frequently putting our lives in danger!

With that in mind remember- DONT TRY THIS YOURSELVES! We are stupid people who will one day get badly hurt! we dont wanna see the same happen to you!

If you are silly enough to injure your self trying to copy us- we take no responsibility for any injuries you get or anything bad that happens as a result of you trying to copy us- basically your a spaccy- and we are all laughing at you!!

There are three sections- a main gallery which has all of our big adventures in, and then there is the "Random Shyte" section where all the little things we do are put up. Really old stuff will be filed away in the archive gallery. There is also the People section, if you scroll to the right on this page where you can find out about the people behind SHAWSON&Co!

Where did it all begin?

We were a bunch of bored students from West Sussex with digital cameras. Shawson, Wodders and Foss went to school together with Thomas (who we binned from the team quite early on). After school we all went to college with Foss and Shawson taking the geeky route with computing, and Wodders doing aeronautic engineering.

While at college Foss and Shawson met Amos and Kev. Meanwhile Foss introduced Shawson to a couple of his mates; Baggy and Dom. Shawson got his first digital camera (Some old piece of shit Kodak) from Alex Ottley (in the groupies) and we started taking it along with us when we went out, taking random pic's and posting them on the Bulletpain forums.

The threads were quite popular and got pinned. After a while Chris Smith who runs the bp forums, copied the threads to their own web pages so they didn't get lost if the forum broke, and saved it on a page entitled Shawson And Co.

A Special Note on Tony Hart!

We E-Mailed THE Tony Hart as pictured at the top of the page to ask if he minded us using his image on the top of our page! We also asked him to take a sneaky peek at the site and maybe give us a quote!

Being the legend that he is he did and gave us this nugget:

"Have fun. Enjoy your life whilst you are young - as you seem to be doing - and be as creative as possible, never be destructive or negative. Good luck to you all".

Best wishes, Tony Hart
