havent seen in it in a long while so cant think of that many characters but have come to the following conclusions.
the cooler king/steve mcqueen - i wish, but no lets be realistic i may be good with a barrow but i cant ride a bike
the tunnel king/charles bronson - dont want to do that much digging anymore

Another day another WSI?
