    "The signing took place at approximately 5.45am on a chill Monday morning, a quiet, informal ceremony at odds with the thunderous din of the war itself playing out across the Western Front.

    The agreement came into effect “on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918. But more than 2,000 men died in the intervening five hours between its signing and that deadline. George Edwin Ellison of Leeds is said to have been the last British combatant to die, falling just outside Mons."

    That's one way to **** up your back. Mines twinging just watching it.

    Looks great though.

    What's your particular set of skills, Den?

    I don’t care who you are
    I’m going to find you and shove a knitting needle where the sun don’t shine.

    We saw yours this morning, on our walk. I did wonder whether you were inside the box making sure no one nicked it.

    I didn’t want to say too much, but when the missus went to take a closer look she whispered that she had a funny feeling that a pervy dwarf was looking out at her.

    A "doggy way" demonstration !!! Not only a bucket of cold water needed here - it'll require an eight hour shift with a fire-engine hose! :emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:
