Chase 2011 - Day 4 Discussion

[Paul]

No storm risk today, but the team are heading to the Big Texan and apparently there could be a taker or two for the 72oz challenge tonight

Rumour has it that reigning champ Ian C will be sitting it out as he's feeling a bit under the weather, so other contenders could perhaps be Audmun, maybe Ian M?

Any other likely possibles?

If Ian or Audmun take up the challenge, what time is this culinary spectacle likely to take place in BST?

[Paul]

I'd imagine it'd be around 2-3am

[Adi F]

I think that is one to watch on the webcam.

[Neilsouth]

I could never eat a 72oZ my hiatial hernia wouldn't allow it lol!

OK in order of appearance, I reckon starting from top most likely to least likely. I’ve only included the lads here, sorry girls. I don’t know all of the guys so some of this is a bit random.

1. IAN CAMERON (Definitely)

2.STEWART (I reckon he will be on the stage with Ian)

3. IAN MICHAELWAITE (I wouldn’t write off)

4. PAUL SHERMAN (He’s capable but probably won’t go for it)

5. CRAIG HOUGH (Fit looking lad but I’ve seen plenty like that complete this)

6. MARK PRITCHARD (Stab in the dark but reckon he might like steak… who doesn’t)

7. WILL

8. QUENTIN HORDLE

9. TOM LYNCH (Tom you would smell like old man dead fart for the next two tours if you even attempted it)

10.TREVOR MITCHELL (Trevor mate, I think you would probably die if you tried. As would I)

[Paul]

It seems no-one went for it. Here's a pic of the team at the Big-Texan though:

Tom Lynch is such a charmer with those Texan ladies!

Wheres Ian?

[Paul]

He wasn't feeling too well yesterday so would have thought he stayed in for the evening..

Can't seem to play that player, clicking play nothing happens and clicking on the big play arrow it's as if it's not there at all... odd as it's the only player i've ever had issues with

Firefox 4

[Paul]

Even odder is that it's about the most used player on the net!

I can only think it's being blocked by an ad blocker or something like that or your system, so if you're running one try switching it off and see if that helps.

[Neilsouth]

It was the adblocker, thanks Paul

Me thinks it's because of the advert that plays as soon as you click PLAY, adblock doesn't like it.

[Paul]

Yep, unfortunately video is expensive in terms of bandwidth, players and producing content, so the ads allow us to put it freely on to the site.

[Dorsetbred]

Wheres Ian?

He was there standing behind me

[Paul]

Meet the tour 1 team and their food!

[John Hanrahan]

I must have one of the large beer tap thingi's for me! I'm guessing the advertising on the video's are probaly regionalized, so you'r probably not seeing what I'm seeing stateside or in the U.K, But every time I play a video its an add for Heineken. Any excuse on a school night. Thanks Paul!

[Paul]

Lol John, we're getting those in the UK too - when I first saw it I wondered if you'd get them in Ireland
