Post by: Mr.Burns on April 04, 2005, 03:28:50 pm: 7ft!!!! I'm sure I was 8ft last time, no that was a joke i'm not that much of a freak :?

I tried it very briefly before it was done and thought it was well hard but I guess i'm just not down with the grit as much as I used to be.

Word on the street is that he did Prophets of Sound at Wheelbarrow on Saturday aswell but I'm sure Greg has all the details. This guy is on fire!!

Now I hope that you are not implying that this might not be true Greg! Apart from the fact that Mike has done a huge amount of very difficult problems over a number of years but isn't in to self promotion like some people(!), do we now have to have Norris McWhirter around to verify any acsent? I suppose 3 or 4 mates isn't enough. Let me know when you next try a V11 and we can get someone to come and gather evidence! :wink: :wink: :wink:

I have re-read my post, and doesn't imply anything... and it wasn't intended to either.
