And there's just no stopping Dancin' Andy Barton, the legendary

ex-Reader's Digest sales supremo, now safely (or so you all thought)

tucked 6,000 miles away in sunny London Town with the Discovery

Channel.



Glancing through the pages of M&M Europe recently, our eye fell upon an

item in the fittingly-titled "Ad Nauseum" section, which provided

elaborate details on young Andy's latest exploits.



Andy is preparing to participate in the London Marathon to raise money

for the Starlight children's foundation (further proof that we were

right when we crowned him Hunk of the Year in 1998).



"It seemed a damn fine idea last August, with those light, balmy

evenings, but the novelty's worn off trekking round Regent's Park on

dark, miserable nights in the rain," he told Ad Nauseum. "I can't wait

for it all to be over so I can have a steak and red wine lunch."



Vine salutes Mr Barton, and urges all you philanthropes out there to get

in touch with him via Discovery in London and dig deep to sponsor his

run and make a difference in the lives of some small children.
