An Australian Rapper Called 2Pec Swam Into the Ocean to Dodge a £362 Seafood Bill

Australia continues to be the most ludicrous place on planet Earth this week, with a story surfacing about a man on Queensland's Gold Coast eating £362 [AUD $600] worth of seafood, and running out on the bill – literally swimming into the ocean.

33-year-old Terry Peck – whose stage name is, incredibly, 2Pec – allegedly ordered two lobsters, 17 vodka oyster shots, a baby octopus, and a few Coronas at Main Beach's Omeros Bros restaurant yesterday. After impressively consuming the lot, Peck then did a runner after finding out the sum of the bill.

Peck swam out to sea from shore, and when police couldn't convince him to come in, they boarded a lifeguard's jet ski to retrieve and arrest him. 2Pec has been charged with stealing and two counts of serious assault of a police officer, but more importantly has been told to "never return" to the restaurant. To which he remarked that he didn't plan on it, as the lobster was "overcooked."
