Day 2 at VVL

Stephen is a character straight out of a BBC comedy. XD Here are some of my favourite Stephenisms as I can remember them:

"Did the police officers break our telly again?"

"Never ever stand in the road to direct traffic . . . We can replace the Transport Supervisors, but we can't replace you."

"Now we don't need 15 different people helping the Canadian hockey players. And don't go tripping the American team."

"My daughter refused to use the loo anywhere aside from home. That used to be fun on these 300-mile road trips. . . *crosses his legs imitating daughter's pee dance* "When are we getting to Gran's?' 'Do you wanna stop at a . . .' 'No!!' I used to stop in the [ugliest washrooms]. Women need to have pretty toilets."

"Now when you're addressing the police, call them Officer. Never call them Security. They're still getting used to this type of job. They're used to real police work (sitting and eating donuts)..."



I met Charmaine Crooks, a Dutch speed skating coach, an American speed skating coach, a Chinese skier and her coach, Bill the driver (^^)d, Marlena the Transport Supervisor, Pat, Patty, Danny, Jian, Alan, Martina, and Colin.
