General Information:
Dusty - He had Herculean strength and, luckily for us all, a sense of humour. Once at a Club party he pulled an iron bar out of the window and casually twisted it round Nick [Carter]'s waist, binding Nick's arms to his side. "Ho! ho! ho!" he shook with gargantuan mirth. "Nick, you are the funniest bloddy sight I ever see! No, I'm not taking it off: you take it off yourself, man." We heaved at the bar, we laid Nick on the floor, wedged one end of it and all strained at the other; while Nick cursed Stan, who sat imbibing whisky and smiling benignly at the performance. Finally Nick had to be taken to the garage and released with a hacksaw.

Terence Gavaghan, Of Lions and Dungbeetles, 1999 Access to a better class of beef market was from Leroghi plateau along the fenced side of the Laikipia ranches, where there was a Veterinary Department quarantine and holding ground called Kirimun, managed by a massive, taciturn young Pole, Stan Kaminski, which could filter through 'clean' cattle direct to railhead at Thomson's Falls for onward dispatch to the huge concrete Kenya Meat Commission Abattoir at Athi River.
