l’ve liked so far has been the Bristol one. Everybody had a really good time.On Wednesday night
after the Bristol contest we went raging. . . eating gateaux, pizzas and ice cream at three o’clock in the morning.”
“There’s no way we’re going to get as good as the Americans at the moment. . . there’s not enough facilities.”
“The only thing wrong with the Black Bowl is that it’s for regular footers. . . and I‘m goofy.”
“Steven Kellner’s routine at the Nationwide finals was amazing.”
