Rich, don't remind me about academic skills acquired at school, I didn't even have the saving grace of being good at sports, the only O-level I managed to achieve was Geography, I think that was down to subliminal learning as I went to sleep in most of the classes, never did any homework, but somehow managed to get an A on my report, it was the only one except for one for music in the first year. Strange thing is when I returned to college as an adult student about 10 years ago I got distinctions for my technical drawing, at school it looked like someone had dipped a spider in ink and thrown onto the paper, I also ended up assisting the lectured in practical laying out of geometric designs, a miracle when you consider that maths was a foreign language as far as I was concerned. Art was considered not to be my forte, yet since taking up painting 3 years ago I've sold 9 paintings.
Played junior club rugby in my twenties, raced karts in my thirties, and surfed up until three years ago, can only assume that I was in a dormant state in my adolescence, ( OK tit in a trance).
