    Hereward - Herminator*

    * - other downhill skiers may be available, but none as exciting. Hermann Maier ranks among the finest alpine ski racers in history, with four overall World Cup titles, two Olympic gold medals (both in 1998), and three World Chapmionship titles. His 54 World Cup race victories – 24 super-G, 15 downhills, 14 giant slaloms, and 1 combined – rank second on the men's all-time list behind Ingemar Stenmark's 86 victories. He is nicknamed the "Herminator".

    Very interesting Taff...must watch Ski Sundays in the future.

    Shame about your No 8 Faletau, nasty injury.

    Herminator - Herrick **

    ** Other 17th century poets are available, however Robert Herrick's poem: To the virgins, to make much of time' is arguably the best known bwcause of its first line:- 'Gather ye rosebuds while you may "

    Whistle - Hispaniola*

    * - Hispaniola is the 22nd-largest island in the world, and is located in the Caribbean island group, the Greater Antilles. It is the second largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba, and the tenth most populous island in the world. That said, I still prefer Barbados! :emoticon-0103-cool:
