"I assumed you were talking about the Olympics."
Yes Mr Noyade I was and you got to the Explorer before me anyway and I have nothing to offer and you and Mel and evansb and sabredog and a few more are in a league of your own. I get the rare opportunity and the Olympics jest was because I have a mate in Sydney who bent my ear before the games and suggested we Brits would be eclipsed by so many Southern teams that we would be lucky to get into Gold double figures. You were the only Antipodean target in view. No offence intended.
