    ian suppose steak wil b of the menu 4 when u come home lol :) love mum x

    I detect a hint of concern in your voice and it's justified. I watched a very thin looking Dutch guy try the challenge last year and he got about half way before collapsing! Mind you, I reckon Ian is made of sterner stuff.

    One problem - the webcam is offline. Perhaps the guys could set their stream up specially? :)

    Well I am so bloody proud of Ian for doing the Challenge, he is the 1st person to do it since 4th May and over 8 have failed today alone!! We had the place in absolute uproar, Texan Girls were surrounding him, he had his picture taken by hundreds of people, he has his name in the record Books now forever. At the end you are asked to leave a comment.

    " I Came I Saw I Ate Your Steak "

    Well done from us All!

    I didn't think he'd do it. There was a break after about 30 minutes where I was sure he'd give up, but thanks to some encouragement by the entire room orchestrated wonderfully by Bob, and a few tunes from the band, he plowed on. I'm not sure I should be condoning such behaviour but it was quite impressive :doh:

    Quite? I'd like to see what you think would be more impressive! :doh:

    Congrats Ian, you deserved it after all that training and it made a great night :)

    Well done Ian!!! :):doh:

    He told me on facebook yesterday evening that he'd drunk two gallons of water the day before (helps to expand the stomach) and only had a few chicken nuggets all day yesterday.

    You are a legend now!

    Perhaps you may not need breakfast later!
