I am touched by your concern Sinkov, but don't worry about me.

I have survived 56 years of watching the Clarets - including the Orient game, Richard Nixon, John Bond, Mike and Bernie Winters, Margaret Thatcher, Simon Dee, Blackburn winning the Prem, Mrs Browns Boys, the Bee Hole End bogs, Brains Frozen Faggots, Cilla Black, Harry worth, school meals including purple blancmange and La La Land.

So Everest will be no problem.
