    The fact that he’s faced all of this and so much more, and STILL managed to absolutely smash it… The Hardest Geezer is truly one of the hardest geezers I’ve seen. 🐐

      And he’s the audacity to run the London marathon too, not to long after his Africa saga. He truly is the hardest geezer.
      Thinking about it the London marathon was probably light work for him. A Sunday stroll thought the park.

      @ericbctape You are more important than any of earthly stuff. Life is more precious than people realise. Personally, I don't agree with people who go into dangerous areas without being properly prepared. I feel sorry for his parents as they were probably extremely worried about him. If it was me, I would have stopped the whole thing right away. Personally, I don't think he did the right thing to continue. However, that is just my point of view.
