A poor man's Everest. I bet they never filmed an advert at Tan Hill.

I had assumed @ianrauk was Ian R and member of Audax UK!

I hate to disappoint Doug, but I'm not a tomato.

So, 'Rauk' or 'Ian Rauk' you are!

I always kick myself for not going with Ianrock, as for my penchant for all music heavy metal and it's ilk.

What, Blackpool Tower?

I actually had an image of the thing in Spain where they have a big fight in the street with them. I imagined you were the driver of the truck or something similar.

Either that or 'T4' was something Channel 4 did at one point, but also you drinking a cup of tea... 'Tea, for two' and all that.

So, you driving a truck at a Tomato fight (or maybe you both drive and chuck the things off the back), which was televised by Channel 4, but you still still get to drink a cup of tea whilst there, possibly from a big fancy teapot and all... The mental image can and sometimes does modify with time you see.

Can't you change it here at least?
Where's @Admin when you need them? 🤔

I have to report a rather crappy 8/15 this week, genuinely nothing I read seemed to come up (except maybe the first one, but I genuinely have forgotten if I did, so I don't feel too bad about that!) sorry. 🤦‍♂️

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Waiting on the results from 'Windows' @C R and 'Rauk' @ianrauk. 😊😆
