Bill Borrows: .. and three reasons not to be.


Byline: Bill Borrows

I WOULD like to add my own eulogy to Robin Cook. To me he was the small man who asked me if I was OK as I stumbled around outside the flat he shared with Gaynor Regan (beneath the Natural Blonde's pad). "Are you all right?" he said. "Yes," I replied. And then, when I found the light switch, "F*** me, aren't you the Shadow Foreign Secretary." "Yes I am," he said. "Please don't make any more noise."

EILEEN Collins Eileen Marie Collins (b. 19 November, 1956 in Elmira, New York) is an American astronaut and a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel. A former military instructor and test pilot, Collins was the first female pilot and first female commander of a Space Shuttle.  is the first female shuttle commander. Not a problem. But the fact the crew were playing a song I remember buying in Buying in has several meanings. In the securities market it refers to a process by which the buyer of securities, whose seller fails to deliver the securities contracted for, can 'buy in' the securities from a third party with the defaulting seller to make good.  Woolworths (Come On Eileen) is. How can I suddenly be the same age as astronauts?

GUESS who had a ticket to Edgbaston and didn't go? I have had two Test tickets in my life - the other was when Botham went ballistic at Old Trafford Old Trafford commonly refers to two sporting arenas:
  • Old Trafford (football ground), home of Manchester United F.C.
  • Old Trafford (cricket ground), home of Lancashire County Cricket Club.
 in 1981 - and both times we gave the Aussies a kicking. Anybody want to buy me one for the Oval?
