***********************

Wow I had completely forgotten about Robin Cousins and his achievements on ice. It is strange as I only readily remember Torvill & Dean 's perfect 10s.
It would seem he is a judge on Dancing on Ice (yes I am sorry I am not up to date on all of this skating stuff.. I pop my head round to the lounge to watch the skating and pop out again when the results come up). I wonder if Schofe will mention it tomorrow about Robin's success 29 years ago?

Anyway this is Robin in full flow



and this what he has been judging !!
