Which powerboating guy said ...

Answers on the back of a post card please and fill in the 2 blanks please *

''This is as true in business as it is in *******,******* or powerboat racing. You need to understand the challenge you are facing. Equally, you have to resist the temptation to overreact at the first sign of trouble. Done well and in the right spirit, business can bring success - whatever that is. Are we talking about money? If we are, then, yes, I'm rich. There, I said it.''

''Resist the temptation to overreact at the first sign of trouble'' ... try telling that to the banks!!!

The missing words could only be "ballooning" and "mountaineering". I'll let someone else chip in with the name.

Do I get my Blankety Blank cheque book and pen?

NO ... the main prize Dusty bin has been won by an exceedingly quick of the mark Mr Foolish who was anything but foolish today ... I'm in shock it's Monday and you guys are really fast of the mark what's going on ... and I thought most people were going to say TD or JF ... so you have the runner up slot still not to shabby a big
