Do you ever have the feeling that Fate has dealt you a hand that you don’t really deserve? Well, that’s how I feel about taking on the role of setter with nothing more than a Bronze Medal to show for my efforts last month. But “He Who Must Be Obeyed” has spoken, and I dare not dissent. I recall the quotation: “Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. Some have greatness THRUST upon them”. Feeling duly THRUST upon, I move ahead!
Of course, “Aquagility” is not my real name. It was my father’s telegraphic address (in the days when there were such things) and though my mother thought it rather cute, when it came to my baptism the vicar would have none of it.
Eclipsed only by my arrival, 1926 was noted as the year of the General Strike and the publication of Winnie-the Pooh. I already had a brother called Christopher, so of course I got landed with a name which took me half a lifetime to accept: Robin. I suppose I should be grateful that I was not called “Eeyore”!
