thus having scrutinised all comments regarding new STIHL policy i am now incandescent with rage and cannot find a font big enough or black enough todemonstrate my apopletic wrath......arrrrrrgh!

 

.......just goes to show....all those walking out of syria with nothing........

 

 

of course STIHL is an anagram of HILTS which is the surname used by Steve in The Great Escape.....He also starred as 'Vin' in the Magnificent Seven,with Yul Brynner as 'Chris', which coincidentally is my first name, i qualified at Merrist Wood in 1981 which means if i have to 'refresh' every 5 years,then retrospectively i would have 'refreshed' Seven times,for log splitting i use a hydraulic one based on girder and dust cart ram with spool valve on the back of a 'dexta' which is close to the surname of 'Brad Dexter' who is the one nobody can remember in the Magnificent Seven and whose character name escapes me,but i think he got the part coz he rescued F.Sinatra from drowning......the film also stars Horst Bucholz as a Mexican 'campesino' who wants to be a gunfighter. Horst, is in fact.....German.....The Germans were quite literally on the other side of the fence from Steve in The Great Escape but the'jump' was performed by, i believe, Buddy Ebsen, but not on a German motor bike or 'sickle' as they would say in the 'States'...a 'State' is a description of my paddock as i have spent too much time on the computer, 'too much time' is what happened to Steve as he had to go into the 'Cooler' in 'The Great Escape'....i guess its all a bit of a pickle,A BIT OF A PICKLE will be an unauthorised autobiography written as a trilogy in four parts illustrating my struggle for recognition,tho it will be a severely limited edition,published anon. anyhow tis time for me to try newly delivered SAW POD an see if it lives up to the hyperbole.............................c.

Uh... that's some rant about a number of things. But if you really must include 'Steve'. Bear in mind that during the actual 'Great Escape', there were no Americans taking part in the endeavour. But since the money to make the film was American, the studio bosses insisted there be a token American. Steve's career was starting and he got the part to boost his name.
