and yes, he's totally my hero since the marathon thing. hero and love interest.

Adding my vote, love him! DS1 nearly tripped him over at Paddington station last year, and I panicked, wouldn't have known what to say

Love how much random comedy value there would be in an Eddie MN chat

I think this kind of chat would really need some Eddie afficionados to help conduct it

I bought a carpet sweeper (middle aged I know) but we call it the hod-duh-duh.

Even DS calls it that now...

some other singe has that one...

LittlePushka · 22/03/2010 23:53

If he won't come on, maybe MNHQ could persuade him to come to Pushkas for a cup tea in the forest and look for singes in the arbres or felines drilling behind the settee.

He was much admired for all sorts of reasons before Eddie Iz Running,..but think he has has singularly (well, and his team of course) galvanised a nation.

he is an amazing and inspirational man.

Eddie rocks... simple que ca !
