WHAT a tool: Lucy checks out Jason’s drill

Lucy Pinder calls me the manliest man in Britain ...
Kathryn Ryan6/12/2007
MOST Salford lads think they are pretty manly, but one has officially been crowned the manliest man in Britain.
With a macho job as a builder and the masculine hobby of climbing, Jason Pickles was a shoe-in for the title.
He was entered into the competition, organised by burger brand Rustlers, by girlfriend Anna Victoria although Jason admits his manliness prevents him from buying her flowers to say thanks.
Jason, of Barff Road, Weaste said: “I’m definitely not a metrosexual man, I’m not by any means backwards but men moisturising and going on sunbeds is not really my scene - although I’ve got nothing against it.
“Real men don’t wear pink. I’m not good at buying flowers and things like that but I never lie.
“Honesty is a manly thing and I’m not one to cover my tracks, I will front it out.”
The 31-year-old spends six months of the year building climbing walls and the other half travelling around the world proving how fearlessly macho he is by scaling huge heights.
As well as climbing mountains in Africa, South America and the Himalayas he, along with a friend, became the first person to do a free ascent of The Leaning Tower in the Yosemite National Park in California.
Jason added: “The Leaning Tower is 1,500 feet high cliff slightly overhanging and there’s a big waterfall to the left. It’s an old glacial island that’s been drained.
“Me and a friend climbed it using just our hands and feet and didn’t rest on anything else.
“There were ropes but they were just there as a back up.”
As a reward for his efforts in the quest for manliness Jason was officially crowned Britain’s Manliest Man by page three glamour girl Lucy Pinder.
Jason said: “The whole page three girl thing is not my thing at all. But she was very nice and down-to-earth.”
Lucy said: “Forget the metrosexual man who spends more time in the mirror than us, enjoys soppy films and loves to go shopping. What a girl really wants is a manly man like Jason.”

I'm sure Lucy's an avid reader of the Salford Advertiser website so I'd like to extend to her an open invitation to come to Salford again to meet with the one who is truly the manliest man of all time. It would be a privilege to introduce Lucy to Him.

Since we're still waiting, I decided to contact Lucy Pinder herself [via her management agency] to see if she would like to comment on this thread in defence of her career as a photographic-prostitute.
We'll all just have to watch this space to see if Lucy decides to 'trade licks' of Licence Vs Liberty, Lust Vs Love and Holiness Vs Harlotry with me. But let's just hope and pray that she renounces prostitution, not least for her own sake.
