o, Simon, the UK is making headlines again here ...

certainly a colourful figure ...

perseverance would definitely be a must ... i remember on the rare occasions when my grandpa talked about spending the war in a nazi labour camp how he said that "quitting was not an option" (they just left you for dead next to the railtracks) so "he just had to" ... hmmm

so , there's nothing left but to sit it out for now ...
