Mr Mike Fines
Ausculture.com has been accused of being too negative towards Ashalea. As such, I’ve taken the liberty to do some research on the life and times Mr Mike Fines.
As is common these days for people who haven’t a clue about a particular topic, my search for Mr Fines started on google…
I found two relevant websites (other than the fifty or so that talked about some “microphone fine thingy.”)
Firstly, a Mike Fines once attended the University of Windsor (Canada) and ran a 9.62 in the sixty metre hurdles.
Another Mike fines is/was the PR guy for Team Sobe/Headshock. Team Sobe is some sort of Suzuki motorcross team from what I can gather.
I’ve tried to contact both Mr Fines’ with no success.
I then tried theWhite Pages. Again my labours bore fruit and I discovered an entry for L &M Fines in Salamander Bay NSW. I considered calling them, but decided against it.
Update:
I have found the person Ashalea must surely have been referring to (pictured.) “His name is Dr. Michael Fine. But his patients will tell you he’s more than fine. He’s the best.”

I am surprised you just stopped at Google! So much more waited to be discovered!!! eg I used Vivisimo and found that on 17 Feb 2001, Mike Fines entered a Men's 60m Dash preliminary event and ran it in 7.41. This placed him 13th so he never went on to the next round. His school was Windsor. There ya go!

Haha.
Like many people these days, I assumed that if I couldn't find it on google then it didn't exist.

and maybe he prefers "Michael Fines".

Perhaps Mike is an anglicised version of his real name, Michaelangelo?

Michelangelo Finestrone? :)

So, the paper (read: google) trail grows.
I thought I had a lead for a Michael Fines, but it turned out to be Michael's Fine Art. There was a similar situation with Michael's Jewellery and Michael's Fine Foods.
Then I found it... view the amendment to the original post.

Mike Fines is also a golfer! http://www.watsonsspringfest.com/bigbop.htm
or "MIKE FINES, 26, very handsome and well-dressed in business attire, stands at the window with a cup of coffee, on the phone." http://www.pages.drexel.edu/faculty/ina22/382/382-Atwell-1002.HTM and also "During the day we had bumped into Mike Fines a couple of times. Mike is the PR guy for Team Sobe/Headshock." http://www.singletrackrider.com/mtsnow.html Is this guy amazing or what?

Hey.... do you think the HMs realise all this stuff about Mike Fines? Ashalea was onto something and they just thought she was being her loopy self. Perhaps it is time BB enlightened them all.

Bloody hell, Patrick! We're lucky ausculture.com readers are so kick arse, I think we've managed to develop the world's first biography of the infamous Mike Fines! Okay, what do we have so far?
I think we need a better photo of young, spunky Mike Fines!

You mean, you want to give Mr Fines an extreme makeover?
Hmmm, I wonder.

Why is everyone looking for me, I'm just a 33 yr old Submariner in the Canadian Navy!!!

We have a comment from an actual Mike Fines!
This is a breakthrough.
Somebody needs to call the producers of BB right away!
