By the way, I saw in the news recently that the hero of the dolphin rescue - the worlds tallest man is getting married. I wonder if he met her through rescuing dolphins, or one of the other side jobs he gets called in to do.

That reminds me of my sister. Carole announced she had met her husband in an old peoples home. I immediately presumed he was 80. He was’nt. Her husband was just visiting his grandmother. I am not sure why but reading about the hero of the dolphin world made me think he was marrying a rescued damsal dolphin.
