Cheers

If you ever get far enough for it to matter, it isn't about you.

It is about the team, and your teammates.

As long as he doesn't see you Make sure you aren't easily identifiable as the one sulking because you "didn't get a window seat".
Ps (Speeddog) Now would be a good time to stop posting on this thread.

Driver? Driver??

A. Eyes on 25 meter target son.
B. It's not a 'job".

After reading all your posts I think you want SF very much. I'm not sure why. You need to do some soul searching imho. Good luck to you.
