Met another mad man today - Tristan Hugh-Jones or was it Hugh Tristan-Jones or was it Jones Tristan-Hugh?
Let me explain...I have done very little in my life..other than sailing around the world the wrong way with one hand tied behind my back (single handedly), climbed Mount Everest without oxegen or a rucksack, been Knighted for services to Rock and Roll, have my own navy and have promoted myself to Admiral, played in 2 world cup rugby finals for England, scored the winning FA cup winning goal for Liverpool against Sunderland in 1992, played lead guitar in Led Zepplin for over 30 years, had over 18 number 1 hits, ran 5 marathons on 5 continents in 5 days without wearing running shoes, organised and implimented the London Congestion Charge zone in Kensington and Chelsea, was one of the only boxers ever to knock Mohammed Ali down, created the worlds largest and most visited Arboretum (www.arboretumdumoulinbodin) Planted the only Wollemi Pine in the Vendee, won 2 gold medals in Olympic rowing, designed and flew the worlds first human powered flying machine over Mount Blanc in a total white out, out pole vaulted the famous polish pole vaulter Walter Upper Volta in Poland in 1987, set up a very successful chain of high street clothing shops, designed and built The London Eye with very little help, was instrumental in arranging and financing the hugely successful Take That comeback in 2006, starred in some of Hollywoods greatest blockbusters etc etc but and this is a huge BUT I have never never never in my 114 years ever met a man who........................ owns a large area of seabed!!
I met him today and before you wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to own many hectares of seabed..this area of seabed is covered with................a 12 inches thick layer of OYSTERS.!!
Yes Oysters, 12" thick spread over hundreds of hectares and at £1 each, each square foot is worth A LOT OF MONEY
Amazing enough Tristan looks as normal as me - but and this is an even bigger BUT...he is completely mad on Renault 4's and has promised me free oyeters for life if I can find him a really good Renault 4 so anyone want to sell me a good Renault 4 for £10000?
As luck would have it, Tristan has recently become the father of a lovely little boy called Tonsley who was strapped to his chest today in what could only be called a Pappoose.
So I want you all to send your hearty congratulation to Tristan and Tonsley and his Mum and you may well be sent some fresh Strathclyde Oysters (www.oysters.co.uk)
So there you are Tristan, I told you I would get your name up in lights - You owe me a tonne of Oysters!!

The Quatrelle World is your Oyster
Hi Tristan, Congratulations and welcome - Ian ate too many jelly babies when he was a cabin boy with Nelson - you don't need to send oodles of oysters - our unswerving support and comradeship is entirely free
but sometimes a little wackey. 
I switched my torch on too!
