[grab my graupel]

Well I am going to set the ball rolling.

I'm going to go for the person I feel needs feedng up the most, as I think they have starved themselves ready

in preperation for this event, so for that reason I am going to choose

John

[AudMun]

I know perhaps I shouldn't go for the most obvious one but all my money is going on Ian C!

Ultimately though, this will probably save on the food for the rest of the chase as I shouldn't think they will want to eat again after this!

After seeing the size of the damn thing last year all I can say is 'Bl**dy good luck to you and bl**by well go for it, show them what the British are made of.' (Just not literally)..............

I don't doubt there will be plenty of support from the rest of the team and plenty of ale will flow.

Good Luck!

Stewart

- The challenge ahead......

- And is the challenge big!

- Just when you though it was all over

[stormchaser1]

Think i shall go with Ian P

nigel

[SalopWatcher]

I know none of these people or there eating "form" but there having a hell of an adventure and fair play to anyone attempting it.....

So i will pick randomly...

Peter Ellegard

Because hes got a forigen sounding name and that might swing it for him!!!

Good luck to the brave british munchers.......

[AndyNEEssex]

Like Mammatus i'm not out until the 20th (I'm No. 9 by the way) and I barely got through a 12 oz Sirloin the other day, so 72 would be pushing it somewhat, as would the aftermath!!

Think I'll go with the Shermanator as well

Andy

[johnholmes]

looks enough to feed 'em all never mind one!

[pottyprof]

I can't imagine that The Shermanator will do it.. He said last year that it was too much to look at..

[Osbourne One-Nil]

A 72oz steak is to Paul Sherman what a light mixed salad is to an Elephant. He's my man.

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

This reminds me of the story of a man who ate too much, and subsequently, whos stomach exploded!

Enjoy your meal

Stuart BTW is my guess.

[NL]

I'll go with the obvious too, Mr Ian Cameron

sorry Ian ..

(was gonna txt for some insider information, but that would be cheatin')

[M'Lady]

Let's just hope no-one offers them a wafer thin mint at the end of the meal.

It's a difficult decision because, judging from the photograhic evidence supplied so far, they almost all look more than man enough... but I'm going to be loyal and opt for my little Baldrick - Paul Michaelwaite.

[kold weather]

Yep I'm going to go for Ian C but whoever does go for it good luck to them they are going to need it!

[SnowBear]

Dunno whether I would be able to complete the challenge if I took it I would certainly enjoy trying as that steak looks scrumptious! lol

I' m sure PM will be most touched by your nickname ma'am!

[Somerset Squall]

I'm going for Ian C, most likely to accept and even complete the challenge I think.
