What was this thread about? I think it was something to do with Manthorp and his wood or wicker or whatever balls or something, but what made it last so long?
In the early stages people kept on posting into it to make me revisit my pain at the cracking of my ball. I think it's a sort of secret 1,000,000 thread.
Now I've articulated that publicly it will immediately die...
With a bit of luck and a following wind I will shortly post pix of my latest (touch wood) uncracked ball to warm your cockles. All over dragons and things it is.
