Lol at West running away from anyone. Mate that gave me a good chuckle. I'd just imagine you taking about 3 strides and turning around and asking if everyone can just talk it out.
And yes... I might as well join the UK growers thread now and start drinking heavily. If you ever catch me buying a soapbar send the weed authorities to scoop me up. Was thinking of taking a couple tiny buds yesterday, but 5 weeks is just too soon.
Yesterday I went on a Mud Run thing. It's brand name stuff these days. Called the Spartan Race. I have to say, it was a lot of fun, also seemed a bit like torture and half way through I though "What the fuck is wrong with people. We actually paid folks to do this to us?!?" It was 5km of steep hills, up down, up, down. It had been raining for a few days leading up so the roads/ paths were INSANE mud. We don't get mud like that out here so much. Reminded me of what it must be like in the south, where everyone goes muddin' in their trucks. Then there were obstacles (what a weird word that is). Kinda like Boot Camp. Climb over a 30 foot cargo net, jump a big wall, crawl under another one, and go through a window type thing. Strap your ankles together and hop up a giant fucking hill (in 4" mud). Pull a 100lb cement block up with a pulley. Monkey bars from hell, climb a wall with a rope thing, go across a rock climbing wall type... that shit killed me as I almost made it across, but didn't so I needed to do the penalty. The penalty for not completing a task was 30 burpees. It's when you do a push up, stand up, then jump with your hands over your head, drop down, repeat. I probably did 100 over the course of the 2 hours or so.
The wildest part was at the end. They had barb wire strung across the road and you had to crawl/ roll under it. It was all uphill and lasted probably 400 yards. Needless to say one was quite muddy by the end.
