You can post them here using the attachment feature found below the box you type a message in. Using this is best for us for it means pics get archived.Big_Willy_USA wrote:Here are pictures from The Big Knock 2012!

Thanks for coming all, I'll try & get some sort of report up soon but they'll be more shots than words probably.
Sean, you left you seat behind mate. Don't worry, we can send it you if you like?

Are you sure? I had the impression that server space was a concern. I'd be happy to post them here, but do not want to run afoul of the image posting rules. Is there a recommended image size?

Re: The Big Knock 2012
So NFN, let me get this straight, you didn't bring a tent, but did bring a chair?
Still at least the swag-bag and tarp was a lot better than Ola's sleeping-bag-in-the-rain technique.

Re: The Big Knock 2012
Are you sure? Alot of newbies in tents think they got a leaker when what they got was condensation (cooler outside than warm bodies inside). You need ventilation!!alexanderfoti wrote:We discovered our tent isn't waterproof at all! GRR oh well!

Re: The Big Knock 2012
I had no idea that turning 40 involved such a severe increase in the number of prostate examinations or is this something only affecting Sean?
