Better for the pavement to be brown than red.

Personally, I can think of far better ways to train for the world bunjee jumping championships.
What a lucky *******

there is nothing more annoying than when working and your ropes get tangled and caught on things and a comment my dad always says is "it wouldnt happen if your life depended on it" i bet this bloke never complains again when his ropes get snagged ;D

No, that's your ego saying your cool because it identifies itself with having discovered and posted the link to this site.  Its a bit like a fat old bloke who buys a sports car and thinks he's pretty cool.  He's not, its his ego identifying itself with the car; you wanna try reading some Eckhart Tolle!

Now my ego is saying that I'm fairly intelligent. 

Sometimes my ego is correct and I'm pretty darn sure it is in this instance.

Sounds like your beginning to believe the posts you've been making over the last few years, Tosh.
