Now it can be told... For years I've heard that Eiger anecdote, your travelling companion snug and smug in his deluxe sleeping bag, while you were slowly entombed in a glacier overnight. At last the embargo is lifted and we have not only photos, but a name. We see you, Keith!!!

That reminds me of some of my more adventurous holidays when money was scarce. Heaven and Hell!!! A small correction - Notre Dame cathedral didn't burn down. The main structure was saved but there was a lot of reconstruction to be done on the roof and the spire. Basically everything made of wood was burned but the building was mostly intact. Most of the art works and the organ were saved as the stone roof of the main building protected the interior when the wooden parts of the structure collapsed.

Okay... you're right, I stand corrected, Dave! A teeny weeny exaggeration.
