Ha ha yeah, only did a few highland games Andy and was only pretty (below) average at that, I didn't have any of the throwing implements to practise with at home unfortunately (and practise is paramount with such events) so had to wing it on the day of the comps I participated in but luckily my natural raw strength and power were enough to prevent me from being completely embarrassed I guess ...always did well at lifting the MaGlashen manhood stones and Dinnie Stones at the end though
