    in that case a snorkel would come in handy.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The whole thread has had me pissing with laughter, the way you guys have been going. My wife is with me in Manchester so I'll leave the snorkel at home and watch from a safe vantage point - it is The Old Wellington everyone is going before the gig???? :lol::lol::lol::lol:
