How about we settle for this: Mike Horn, Mike fucking Horn, who circumnavigated the globe, solo, using human power.

Here he is on his journey down the Amazon, from source to sea. First ever.

He is also Harry’s neighbour.

Both TA SAS but Grylls come across as a giant tosser who got lucky in the 24/7 television age. Besides, his knives are cheap plasticky things that fall apart in a week.

Fiennes did most if his deeds without the benefit of an accompanying camera or a franchise. It’s like Paris Hilton vs Grace Kelly.

The Sunday Times had the story. Basically, he did a little Joseph himself.

[Daphne – We girls don’t really care because he’s handsome. Jaghmel hekk Joseph, dik hag’ ohra ghax hu hugely unattractive.]

Ranulph Fiennes. Now there’s a fella with stainless steel balls.

My my you can be a bitter ,’ son of a b…’ . Mr Grylls has quite an interesting history as does Mr Fiennes .

So they are queer. Fine, but they should bear in mind that their sexual orientation is not our problem, and if unfortunately they want to be led by their appendages, than so be it.

I, and quite a few others I would guess, prefer NOT to be defined by our sexuality, thank you very much. But we have to smile at these idiots, because political correctness demands it.

What is it with Maltese gay men? They are insufferable.

[Daphne – Not all Maltese gay men are limp-wristed, bitchy carnival queens, Vanni. Those are just the scene-stealers. Most of the gay men I know look like somebody’s boring husband, so to speak.]

Try Ranulph Fiennes. Put his frostbitten fingers in a vice and did the amputation himself with a hacksaw, at home, “because it’s cheaper and quicker.”
