Well done!

Hope this thread brings Mark back - haven't seen him in a while and sure hope he didn't go get himself tangled up with a branding iron!

Well so far, my unbiased opinion is that the Englishman has just won it.

I've pm'd him but I know he was going to get his daughter to style it before he did his final pics...

It's currently 1630 in the UK so hopefully he'll be home from work soon!

I was once told that a Yorkshireman was really just a Scotsman with all the goodness drained out.


Kept me quiet for a while.

Poor Spuds...

6 votes have been cast so far and his pic isn't here!

I've nicked the one he posted last night so at least there's one on here. (hope you don't mind Dan, mate!)



I do think it would be best if everyone waits 'til Spuds posts his official entry, though!

this looks like a casting call for a 70's film, you know the kind with the peculiar music and a bad script, not much of a plot, a bit predictable perhaps...

have sympathy for your women and don't make them stare at those lip caterpillars much longer

You mean like a film this guy was in. This is what Mark would look like after his McDonalds diet.
