Because of the way the article was written, and how it ended, I had a flashback to
this.

DEATH is Certain. The hour, Uncertain...
Having a copy of Blessed's Quest For The Lost World; I can report that he writes at a similar volume, and lives at that volume. The anecdote about him
being refused admittance to a mountain trail on account of his age - at which point he grabs his guide and body presses him while shouting out 'SEVENTY?
SEVENTY ISN'T SWEET FANNY ADAMS!" is wonderful. I doubt the phrase was Fanny Adams, though it might involve something one would do to her after
several drinks.

I once referred to Blessed as B3: the BBC's Bellowing Barbarian. But there can be no doubt that he is Toblerone Prime.
And I believe that Fanny Adams is a Britishism for "Fuck All."

"Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you."
Yes, yes it is; but I rather doubt that a 70+ year old man body pressing his guide would bother with the moderation of language for sensitive ears. When you
are body pressing another human being to make a point moderation can be safely assumed to have fucked off to parts unknown.
Also its Brian Blessed, not a man know for moderation.
