Welcome to free spirits. Any time you row will be more than welcome for CTC and you will have nothing to be ashamed of. As Michelle said - more boats more points so you will be making a contribution. Feel free to start taking the mickey out of us whenever you want
Actually, I'm starting to believe that my BIGGEST challange is trying to understand what I thought was my native language!
"Geezer" doesn't mean "geezer".
"Learned" is spelled "learnt"; "program" is spelled "programme"
"Center" and "Theater" have the last two letters reversed
Also, you Brits have an aversion to the letter "z", it would seem ("realization"...no "Z"??)
I was trying to read a person's driving directions:
"Stay to the right" (which, of course, means the left - correct? - since you drive on the "wrong" side of the road). "Right hand lane of the slip road". Slip? I really would prefer not to drive on anything called a "slip".
And..."taking the mickey out of us"??? "Mickey"?? Mickey Mouse?
Erging might be the least of my worries as a member of the "Free Spirits"!!
