Have just read the thread with interest, a mulititude of opinia indeed.
Fact is that the man broke the rules on this occasion (I have met him on many occasions), sad though that is, albeit due to oversight, other mitigating circumstances etc. we're not in a kindergarten!!!
We all know the ramifications both professionally/socially/medically of "hanging one on". The little next morning Gremlin is there for a reason!! and when he whispers, you must be prepared to accept the consequences.
I woke-up last feb. after a bike crash that left me paraplegic (thankfully no-one else involved), due to excess in blood, lost my career, my family,my dignity and worst of all, most of my friends.
My heart goes out to Capt. Nicholl but I can't condone the bitching that is taking place,
S**t happens mainly for a good reason - let it rest!
