As for his covering the Dover to Nottingham run faster than a speeding locomotive, I understand that a small skiff or skill at walking on water is de rigeur at the present moment, sans duffle coat, of course. May it soon pass (the water, not the coat).Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071928294799081845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-8984184545882733902007-07-23T23:12:00.000+00:002007-07-23T23:12:00.000+00:00Our B&Q is flooded out - one day after the refit -...Our B&Q is flooded out - one day after the refit - the new (wet) look B&Q!<BR/><BR/>My father used to often cycle from Brighton to Birmingham and he probably still could (still don't understand why always only one way) and it was nothing unusual.

But he was not a stand-out. In fairness, our graduating class had about 1,000 people in it, so it was tough being outstanding in one's field. (I dimly recall, however, that he later starred in a movie largely about him out standing in a field.)<BR/><BR/>I do remember someone referring to someone else to as "Costner" on more than one Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071928294799081845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-9759978287188555852007-07-23T19:04:00.000+00:002007-07-23T19:04:00.000+00:00Denis Howell!
