KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

Past it twice M8, once in 2000 while working as a sales rep and again in December 2005 while the hospital was thinking they would have to class me clinically blind in my right eye.
The examiner who trains the police persuit drivers was amazed to find I was doing it a second time and while being blind in one eye.
Just proves, you can judge distances one eyed, test takes in all sorts of roads and traffic and yuo need to give a running comentry of the hazards you see and say what you will do to avoid them.
I found the training good fun and I get a really good discount on my insurance too.
Going down the pub now for lunch, likely to be back for 2pm and finish work at 3pm to collect the Capri.

Anne, that really depends on how partisan they are. My godchildren will be there with me yelling their little heads off for Cambridge... but their Dad rowed for his Cambridge college, so you'd expect that.
Barnes is a reasonable place to watch from though... it's on the outside edge of the final bend, so you can generally get a good long view of any action. If you're not careful though, it's "blink and you missed it"!

What a man! That you should sacrifice your liver in order to help your wife and her pals drink a bottle of wine, well, what can I say?
I've got a pretty busy weekend. One thing and another will be up to my eyes in stuff until the middle of next week. but, I love it. I'd always sooner be busy than bored.
