    Unreal isnt it.
    Watch yourself though, its things like that which make you have even bigger offs.

    The US Army calls this armour psychosis- give a man a big protective kevlar hat and a bullet proof vest, he's more likely to get shot :lol: But less likely to hide in the toilet all day I guess. :lol:
