Sir Steve Redgrave – most famous for promising to give interviews to small – but well-formed – diabetes-related websites and then ignoring any follow up emails from hard-working and dedicated website owners – has been given an honorary degree from St Andrews university. You can read all about it here http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/news/archive/2011/Title,70299,en.html if you’re interested in diabetic sportsmen getting honorary law degrees (rather than having to work hard for three years to get a law degree, like both dedicated owners of this website!)
My spy at St Andrews’ events department tells me he was “a nice chap” but still the taint of not-replying-to-our-emails sticks. Bah!
Double-bitterness in the reporting by the dog. Outstanding 🙂
That’s made me chuckle.
I’m nothing if not a bitter dog. Woof!
“Woof!” indeed!
Well that’s it I’m off to get mine!! Actually will be easier to order one off the interweb!
Redgrave, I believe his lives up to his nickname as Dr Juice.. Shame really as he really could get us pancreatically challenged bunch in the spotlight.
Also, after reading the article, like a good little lad.. I noticed it was a law degree on offer!!
Why Law??
Why not something more sport/health/lifestyle related? Could he now perhaps moonlight as a rower lawyer?
I don’t know? I didn’t even know that St Andrews’ did a law course…
In my mother tongue, “rower” means thief/robber, so perhaps a law degree might buff up his image to something more lawful?
You better not start any rows
With this chap for words that he owes:
He’ll bloody his oar
On your sticky gore…
And use as a rudder your nose.
@ckoei Nicely put! 【ツ】
Nose as rudder = Gotta be painful!
