[quote] Sir Ed became known during the election campaign for his stunts, which continued during the conference, with him entering on a jet ski, playing beach volleyball, and building a stile. However, he revealed in his speech that health and safety stopped him from "putting my hand up a cow's behind or wing walking on a biplane". [unquote]

I like his stunts - jet skiing, bungee jumping... I think it works.

[quote]The spokesman said the cow idea had been seriously considered but did not go ahead due to health and safety concerns for both the cow and Sir Ed.[unquote]
