Maybe you missed the incident where he was feeding a crocodile a chicken while holding his newborn?


Thats a highly trained circus crocodile, he was never in any real danger.

Plus, who's to say it wasn't a stunt to get rid of another pesky mouth to feed? The perfect crime.. all the has to do is 'accidentally' drop the wallet-draining nuisance in full view of the crowd and boom! problem solved. That's Steve for you, always thinking outside the box. :wink:

Look I just have to say that maybe on telly he did come across as a wanker, but what he and his family have done over here for the preservation of native land, flora and fauna is extraordinary. He really did have a deep respect for all animals and their native habitats. His father is continuing Steve's conservation work, raising funds to buy back land from developers. Yeah maybe he was not everyone's cup of tea, but you really can't take away from the awesome work that he did!

So how much are they now? I hope you get a good price but at the same time I'll be gutted if they end up dirt cheap now I'm not coming to NY too!

http://www.orbitz.com -- if the price drops after you book, you get a refund.

See the banner at the top of their site!

The small print doesn't look so appealing. From what I can make out, you only get a refund of the difference if someone else books the exact same flight at a cheaper price. If that includes the return date it's pretty unlikely anyone will do that.

Well that's still better than anything I found when I was looking. I think I still made the right choice at £150 or whatever it works out at for London-Orlando rtn though!

Last year NYC-GNV was a fraction over £100 return but then with increased fuel costs and a shit exchange rate I'd be very surprised if you get it that cheap this year.
