The Intelligence test has been taken out of the Krypton Factor this year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)


Hadn't thought about the Krypton Factor for years. They used to film it (may still do) at an army camp near Upper Ramsbottom (not joking!) and the assault course there was utilised for competitions for all sorts of military units. A few years back yours truly and his team of Territorial infantry soldiers from the Worksop area held the all time record for completing it.

I *think* the new assault course is the other side of the Pennines. It's certainly not the original course...

A friend just emailed me to say he is now the proud owner of a double bass, a trombone, a drums set, a clarinet and a few other instruments he's not sure what they're called.
Apparently a shop had bought these instruments for decoration and he was just walking past when he saw them throwing them away in a truck and when he asked if he could have one instead of it being thrown away they said he could have the lot!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
Shame he doesn't play any!! but he plans to sell them so should make quite a bit of money from them as they apparently are in immaculate condition and knowing the shop they probably got some really good instruments!!!

It amazes me that some people would just throw away brand new instruments when other people like us will be saving for ages trying to buy just one! Why not give them to a local school??!! hmmmm....
Will speak to him and will try to find out more about the make of the instruments etc...
