Brilliant. That said, I hope he does it. What he's trying to do is remarkable. I wonder at what point the people fuding it lose interest though...

Seems that it may be delayed an extra week as they think he may have mild vertigo.

I suggest he doesn't go anywhere a Go Ape then. That'll cause him all sorts of problems.

Isn't it time for the trolley to show up, offering him a tuna mayo roll and a choice of tea, coffee or orange juice?
