For MSD it was a job that took over 70hrs and was completed in 4days. Weve vowed never to do that again.

Sean Bicknell,
Did about 6 once, nearly foookin killed me I can tell ya!!



Since youve cropped up here though, im happy to point out that the 70hr job was in fact your FAULT and is nicely documented here: http://bbs.rsownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php?t=44494

It was in fact "almost" a pleasure, and i made a great new friend during all the stress and aggro so it was worth every hour.
