Didn't even know there was one Kwak, just sort of assumed but it's obvious really isn't it!
As it 'appens 4 weeks after my short-circuit bump and still in a UK hospital, a race-mate was killed out there, but others were luckier.
I'll let my Dad know - he lives in Ballabeg and was worried about having to pay tousands for ops etc in uk.
