In our sanitised world where the word hero is used to desrcibe people who save a kitten from a tree, and people consider a risky activity to be playing the latest car racing computer game, sometimes we need to think of those people standing on the fence genuinely risking their lives to ensure our standard of living is maintained. This is one of those times.

Congratulations mate, and get home safe, unlike so many other VC winners before you.

In accordance with tradition:

"Pprune, Attention, Preesent Arms"
