So I could go into a whole discourse about how they are a brother and sister team that make you forget they are brother and sister and don't even consider trying a romantic thing. (Danielle and Steve Hartsell skating to Romeo and Juliet, I am looking at you) I could mention that they are fun and vivacious and sexy and they always try to do something different. I could mention that they sometimes didn't get the marks that they deserved and that they're two time European bronze medallists. And I could do without mentioning the sheer hell that was knowing a twizzle sequence was coming up and watching John with bated breath... Chris Howarth and Nicky Slater on Eurosport (Nicky's mum used to be their coach before Evgeny Platov) were known to utter the phrase, "Come on, John" through clenched teeth when he was twizzling; I, on my sofa, used to mutter the same thing into the cushion I'd be gripping for dear life.
I could mention all that but it's the first week back after Easter, Nimoy is doing the whole terrible two thing and the class is not getting any better, sucking the veritable life out of me. And Confirmation is next week so I'm run ragged.
So all I'll say is it's John Kerr in a kilt. What more do you need to know?
