Well done to all involved

Well done. Shame the RAF team had to abandon their attempt.

Ohhhh....You're going straighy to hell for that one!

 

But you're sooooo right!!!!!

 

These people have pulled off quite an incredible feat. Let's all suitably doff our titfers while we're piling into the Crimble leftovers and remember that they want to hold a memorial service for all those unfortunates who didn't make it.

I can't think where they get the "cojones" from to even try something like this! The South Pole! I mean, that's quite a bit larger than even Windsor Park.

I heard the good news earlier and was dead chuffed for them.

Excellent result - well done one and all!
