ellarienI've done that you may not have.
Walked a quarter-mile by starlight in the Chilean Andes.
Sat in a butcher's freezer polishing ice crystals with a razor blade.
Ridden the same bus as David Blunkett and his guide dog, back when he was a rookie candidate for Sheffield City Council.
Visited a working face in a Yorkshire coal mine, at the age of 15.
Carried a sample of powdered ice, packed in a dewar of dry ice, from Birmingham to Didcot by train.
Travelled from Sheffield to Leicester with a three-foot Meccano model of a Bayer-Garret locomotive in a battered baby carriage.
Travelled from Birmingham to Didcot and back to pick up ten laser-printed plots for my thesis, during a postal strike.
Found my own research horribly misquoted in a book I was reading for general interest.
Stood on top of the largest solar telescope on the world. With no film in my camera.
Dipped my toes in the sea at the Cape of Good Hope.
