According to the Manchester Evening News, 'our' Dave had auditioned to be a contender on the cult show, but programme bosses reckoned his bulging biceps were more suited to a role as an actual Gladiator. "I had to pass physical tests to get on the show but I found them pretty easy because of the training I've had in the Marines."
However Dave then rather lets the side down by saying "My favourite Gladiator was
Shadow and I'm going to be just as aggressive as him."
Don't know about anyone else but
Jet certainly ticked all the boxes for me!
She was starring in the local panto when Gladiators was at it's height. Just as she was about to do a 'routine' my 5year old son turns to me with "Dad..need to go pooh.." "Can't it wait son? Not now?" "Need to go poo
NOW!"
Left my cherished seat to the sympathetic glances from other dad's in the audience. Sorted out his paperwork in double quick time but still missed the 'good bit' - much to my missus amusement...
Apart from Tornado, one of the women contenders is apparently called 'Battleaxe'. Hopefully won't be 'Hanging Tough' with curlers in her hair and wrinkled tights, Nora Batty style.
Apparently, the only thing that David does worry about is the reaction of his fellow Marines when they spot him in his skimpy Gladiator Lycra attire.
He said: "I know they're going to take the mick."
No Shit!! P'raps not to yer face mate....
lol
