Lord BJ Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I can’t lie it’s not really my cup of tea. It’s hard to deny it’s is an amazing spectacle, though. I love it when they get pissed up and the crowd are waltzing down the aisles and stuff. If I had a drink or whatever and flicking through the channels I have found myself memorised and in hysterics over in equal measures. Fair play to the boy he has seen a niche in that market and utilised for the gain of many people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
