I have literally had to beg for a chair at a pre-dinner drinks session that went on for an hour in a bar with no seating at all, and the bar staff just kept saying "oh, you'll go in for dinner in 10 minutes".

Since getting a car in April, I have driven into town I think 3 times, only 1 of which would have passed a congestion charging point. And I could have claimed expenses for all of them if need be.

My veins thank you for your service. I have learned to tell people to ignore my visible veins and only go for palpable ones (which also run away, but less successfully.)

OK, yes, I am a doctor, but I'm not a *medical* doctor. I am qualified to tell you whether the research looks valid, but not to actually provide health advice.

I was once first aiding for a bike road race (in the UK) and we had 3 casualties from when a deer just decided to jump them.
The deer was fine.

I'm lucky that I had a temporary disability, savings, a flexible job, and a supportive employer who has already reimbursed me for hundreds of pounds of taxi journeys. Drop any one of those and I could have been in real financial difficulty or losing my job.

Changing our course outline is a Massive PITA requiring multiple levels of approval that would probably take longer than a year. Luckily it's written broadly enough that we can change the actual course a lot while still adhering to it.
