Three for me, and two for them.

the test this weekend. Will the Phoenix be doing anything?

...playing football.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

So who really was first? Hillary or the Sherpa? I awlays wondered
if all the things he did in Nepal were him paying penance for
claiming he was first.
Still an amazing achievement amongst many amazing achievements
in this man's life. So many good things tinged with some very sad
things (His first wife & daughters deaths). He will be
rememberd of course and our $5 note will be a constant
reminder.
I just hope the media overkill which has already started on
TV1 doesn't annoy as much as they had done in the past with others.
Time to avoid the news on either channel.
RIP Sir Ed, you achieved things people like myself would
have loved to have tried. Bloody high climb just for a cold
Beer though.

... what he got organised in Nepal, after getting up the
mountain, truly was top drawer stuff. Having the thought to
do all that was one thing but getting it done quite another.

Perhaps his passing might require a "Sir Edmund Hillary, who are
ya?" chant at the 4 kings tonight instead of a minutes silence??

Was just about to suggest something similar. I was thinking a minutes silence at half time but that might be more Fever-esque

Keith Quinn at the Tennis on TV1......."TV1 will be keeping you
informed throughout the afternoon with updates on the passing of
Sir Edmund Hillary"....
WTF, do they think he is going to rise again?? How can you
update a mans death?
I see the Hillary family have accepted the Gevernments offer
and there will be a state funeral for the great man himself. Fair
call I say.
Yet another TV1 update...Spokesman from the BNZ said that the
BNZ are sad at Sir Edmunds death and that "he is the only person
alive who has his face on a $5 note!" FFS piss poor news
reporting.

I have brown eyes too and I can confirm that. Of course I
am going to confirm it. But it doesn't mean they're really
brown.
Don't get me wrong, the man did an amazing achievement
reaching the top. But who really was first? (Conspiracey theries
please)
