His subsequent mission to the Antarctic with Vivien Fuchs, incidentally, provided The Times with its most inadvertently entertaining headline ever, for which we might also remember him: "Hillary Fuchs off to the Pole".
Let some guys slip through the net, Cheryl
A young lady called Cheryl Tunney, aged 18, has revealed to the BBC that she has slept with more than 50 men in the past two years, all of them procured over the internet. I don’t wish to seem unkind, but looking at the photograph of Ms Tunney one is again reminded of the veracity of that old saying "any port in a storm".
