      Well John most were surprised, and I've given it to one mate that has a couple of kids, so they will spend the next week carving a face and getting ready for Halloween.

      If I'd kept it it would probably just rotted in my garage:D

              Still trying to find something to weigh mine with. Might need a D.O.T. weighbridge.

              He was leaning on the Garden gate one day, and beckoned to a lady who just
              lived across theway
              He took her down his garden path, and showed it her with pride and when she
              saw the size of it the little lady cried
              Oh WHAT a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before
              Oh What a beuauty it must be two foot long or even more
              It's such a lovely colour Its big its round its fat
              I never thought a
