[DrPat]

Only one participant from Japan?  I'm amazed that the English language forums have no following there.

nietenhosen didnt register for round 2? he's gotta defend that title!

[Seul]

I love those fucking graphs… Great stuff...

PS: GO BELGIUM (1 contestant)!..

[tatmantall]

Think I read over on Sufu possibly that he thought he waited too long to register but is love to see him compete again. That was a great looking pair of 666

Everyone who didn't include their country with their entry was automatically registered as USA, so far I've had to change 19 incorrect entries.

[wariosss]

France = we are one percent

[dlaz]

[wunnaz]

*** Your Choice Is Your Rule ***

Just paid off my balance as well.  I cannot wait to see these beauties.

Thanks to everyone for their efforts and sacrifices in order to make this a reality!

[Snowy]

Now that's "heavy" inspiring.

[Megatron1505]

Then I get to the Post Office to be told "there's no collection today in this weather" 

Oh well, the belts are in the mail and should arrive with people in 5 - 12 days…..weather dependant.

[patch]

That is commitment Gav. This bloody weather !

[Megatron1505]

If I didn't get them shipped today, then I don't know when I would have got it done. I have 9 - 10 hour shifts on Monday to Thursday, followed by a few days with the Padmores for the CSM….busy times ahead.

Yup, weather sucks balls, Tommy and his loony friend seem to like it though.

[llvlaglne]

Did I see Tommy's name registered for the contest?

[bagley920]

Yep, he's HC-IH-45

[Giles]

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Haraki for what he and the Japanese crew have pulled off.

As you may know, we lost a load (circa 50%) of 25oz denim in the last run.  We get a percentage wastage in all the denims we make, but normally the percent we lose is a constant (per type).  With the 25oz, seeing that it is on the edge of what is sensibly possible, the wastage is completely unpredictable.  50% broke all our records!

When I met H in Singapore I asked him how the MBB's were going.  He said they weren't.  I explained how important it was that they were done on time.

Once he understood the real criticality of meeting the deadline, he did just about everything humanly possible to make sure he did not let you guys down.  That included a 20 hour round trip to Kojima to explain the criticality face-to-face with the team down there.  This just after coming back from SE Asia.

Never once did he bitch, moan or complain.  He just motivated the team and got on with it.
