I wanna be the guy in the bowler hat Big Grin

Look at the early part of the video, when one guy is standing on the ring, see where his hammer will go if he missed. Slaphead

They certainly can swing them hammers Smile

That would be a nice winter time job but it must get awfully hot in there in the summer months. Jawdrop

Graft? I could understand the lads might need a skin graft but somehow I don't think that's what you meant.

Interesting to see, I hope the place is still going.

Thanks
