[Beebo]

Very uncomfortable viewing. It looks like it blowing a gale up there too which must make it even harder!

Did he realise at 7 mins that he was being chased by a stormtrooper

Seriously though, OMFG

The pay must be absolutely mega to get someone to do that. I'm surprised they don't base jump off after that, they're clearly daft enough

I have issues just cleaning leaves out of our gutters.............................................................................................................on the conservatory!
