Is this part of Patxi fever? was I the only one to notice the accupuntcture etc. that is obviously a side effect of his trainnig plans?

I've got a weight vest you can have. I'm wearing it right now.

Err, hang on a minute......

Shit, its stuck! It seems to have melded into my body and become a permanent feature.

im making one out of a childs boyancy aid with bags of rice in. Take out all the foam and sew the jacket so there is dividers in ehere the foam was to add weight. Rice or sand is good as its cheap and doesnt hurt when you fall on it. A childs vest is also a lot smaller and less restrictive than an adult one. cost about a fiver to make

[dave]

Don't get it wet or you'll be crushed to death by the expanding rice.

[Jaspersharpe]

Mental image of someone desperately trying to eat the rice as quickly as possible to avoid being crushed.
