Me and Paddy were joking saying you were the only mad f**ker that would be out in that but clearly Roger needs more examining than you :lol:

Fair play for braving the elements Roger.

you could tie a rope around your waist and tie it too the railings if it's that hairy, no point in ruining a good cod session because of a few waves :lol: :lol:
