Glass of water?<BR/><BR/>I remember seeing a documentary about EK, and him telling a rather unpleasant story about breaking someone's arms with a baseball bat! I choose to look at this with rose coloured spectacles, whilst I'm still in retro mode.Valentine Suicidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158284655510301196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-88388826856078550322007-12-05T20:32:00.000+00:002007-12-05T20:32:00.000+00:00HelloWhere is this place?I will be back.Hello<BR/><BR/>Where is this place?<BR/><BR/>I will be back.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695613095959659034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-33999423630236804182007-12-05T17:00:00.000+00:002007-12-05T17:00:00.000+00:00Actually I thought the toy was just like EK.

These days, everybody's jumping off things and putting themselves in mortal danger on skateboards or BMX bikes, or appearing on a Jackass, or free-running off high buildings. We are no longer slack-jawed at derring-do. It's a shame really.
