    Boys will be boys! Green 11 must have got tired sprinting to join the action and only manages just the one nice left hook.

    @Bones He is certainly a giant. You also wouldn't want to upset the red 8 in the pub either! He looks like he has the build to take on all comers.

    Red 11 and 8 turn up and the fighting stops. Unsurprisingly.

    @taniwharugby Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago, remember it vividly.

    Didn't know about his Bristol background or that he had died. Great read

    Distinctly recall the noise about the cost of the rescue. Ignoring two key points:

    1. It's in our sphere of responsibility so we're obligated as a country.
    2. The vast majority of the costs are sunk given they came out of the military. You're paying for it anyway.

    The fact he kept himself alive for so long and had the calmness of mind to ensure he maximised his chances were impressive.

    Although when he capsized again years later I had some sympathy for the calls to tell him to give it up. 😆

    Richard Harris

    I used to stop in at his favourite near-theatre pub occasionally.

    I would say very much no, but Reed was in a class of his own.

    When Jimmy Webb (a legendary imbiber himself) was frightened of drinking with Harris, you have to be in awe of Reed.
