To be fair, RHC, if you've never read the books then how can you say they're sh*t? They're easy to read fiction, sure, but far better than other 'holiday paperbacks', IMO.
Yeah, I laughed my arse off when I saw the film Reacher advertised with Cruise as the lead. Reacher is a 6'5" former army MP and built like a brick-outhouse*! To be fair, when I watched the movie, it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't Jack Reacher. *Although he's only described as being 220-250 lbs, so at that height he's more athletic than anything, IMO.
you're describing me Just done quick stones>lbs conversion - 237lbs. [that's my fighting weight, been lot heavier]
