Eddie Hall

Eddie has done it, good on you Stoke-on Trent.

I always knew he would, he is a digger in, you've just made Britain Great.

Re: Eddie Hall

Just had a look Mags, and it seems he is the World's Strongest Man.

So Spitty must have lost the title this year.

Re: Eddie Hall

Ahh... thanks Mups, I haven't watched the World's Strongest Man for years, in fact not since the days of Geoff Capes

I met him a couple of times - Geoff Capes, not Spitty - and he was a nice man.
I used to belong to a bird club, I used to breed budgies and cockatiels. Geoff Capes was/is an avid budgie breeder so he came to give talks at our club.
Such huge hands were so gentle with these tiny birds.

I didn't know that Mups, it's difficult to imagine a gentle giant

Re: Eddie Hall

I have full respect for this Guy, upon lifting the Trophy he said "that's it", done, I've worked for this for X number of years, now I want my life and family back.

I was lifting three pound weights yesterday while doing step aerobics...

I suppose "that's not done" not only applies to me, but I apparently have a little more weight to add...

Alas, I am not the world's strongest woman .

Re: Eddie Hall

Eddie Hall is monstrous. Great to see the trophy back with a British competitor.

Hall sometimes appears on the fitness forum I belong to, so no doubt he'll be getting his due praise on there soon.
