Moss down

Never a bashte:

As Keane, employing the famous logic native to Kerrymen, once put it:
"I hear that some people believe that not drinking or smoking can
prolong their lives. Well in that case they have only got themselves
to blame."

Oh. I thought you meant Stirling.

 

+1.

But Stirling's indestructible.

 

...not when he steps into open lift doors without checking that
the lift's actually arrived!

Yet four months later, he was racing again. At 80, that's a fairly good
imitation of "indestructible" by my book.

Of course! Thanks.

 

And David Marques as well - Hairyqueens and England legend.....

Fantastic quote from his obit :

In an early game of the tour, Marques was punched to the floor some
distance from the action, in what is known as an “off-the-ball”
incident.
He gathered himself up, rose to his full height — “six feet five
inches of quivering rectitude”, as one writer put it — went over to
his assailant and held out his hand in an accommodating gesture that
was nervously received.

Asked afterwards by his second-row partner, the burly Irishman Bill
Mulcahy, why he had not punched back, Marques replied drily: “You
wouldn’t understand, Bill. I wanted him to feel a cad.”

 

I thought he meant Kate.

 

As would most people I'd have thought. I've never heard of this other Moss
bloke.

 

Wasn't that link followed by some wag on here pasting something along the
lines of "0 - 60 in 1 second and at 80 years old too. Impressive"

Had me chuckling for ages.

 

That wouldn't be news though, she's always going down.
