i did see escape to the legion....very good. hard feckin work. that guy that dropped out looked well weird...almost as if it had all gone to his head and was loosin it a bit.

did u see the prog on before it about the war in russia/bosnia/chechnya..whichever it was, about the russian government basically being able to murder them all in the name of that they were terrorists...

they had loads of home made movies of the rebels, blowing ppl up, like they were filming their achievments....crazy stuff.

Beslan, saw some of it but was mainly watching the house thing on channel 5.

Russia has it right, if they don't conform lkill them, if they do conform kill them anyway!

Legion was good, hard work though! You'd want a beach buggy really.

Does anyone know where to get decent quality overalls as my current ones are in shreds? All the ones i've seen on ebay would make me look like a miniature railway mechanic. I'm looking for ones i can buy now, none of this bidding malarky.

42" chest
34" leg

(if that helps)

I will have a look and see then.

if you think of any others just pop them up.

Also, my battery tray has rotted through, is that a mot failure?

I'll post a pic to show.

Ok so I lied. Its not on the tray but it's in the compartment.

Either way is this something to worry about?
