It's almost as irritating as the newly-ubiquitous 'I love the bones of her'.

Yep it's just another of those annoying grandiose statements that mean nothing.

I thought that the phrase came from the book about the rabbits.

It's not even that far - about 477000 miles. The Proclaimers must have walked further than that by now.

The stoic I don't know why I just do. It's just a bit sickly I guess.
