Arguably his best achievement? 25 years after his first and after that 4 year lay off he had a few years ago,  busier life etc...  Just a total legend and complete and utter wad. So impressive.

Well he didn't time that very well. Had he done it a few months earlier it would have made a cracking end to his book.

Unbelievably awesome effort though. Northern Lights next?   :strongbench:

That's all the too old/kids/work excuses out of the window.

How many Brits have done 9a now? Is it double figures yet.

Yeah deffo a better achievement, no question. Easily worth another 25yrs of dining out on this one.

Needs an addendum/second edition.
