We'll no doubt have to lapse an extra few yards more than anybody else because some arse will have started 10 minutes early and we'll need to stop halfway down so the driver can have his usual kip and paper reading thing, Someone will probably develop a limp and blag a cushy indoor seat and the part-timer will probably be left to shove the bobsleigh back up the hill.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I am quite serious, actually. RM could sponsor us. I have been a postman for almost three years and already have a death wish....

By the time we have had the track risk assessed and told it is fit for us to go ,the bobsleigh wouldn't start or we would have to do the lapsing first. If we won a gold medal,in world record time we would be sent back up to do some more,before collecting your medal.
Two of the team would go sick,the reserve and part timer would be sent out blind with encouragement from the DOM,ringing in your ears, "that's easy that one". Then if we crashed it would be our fault, for not wearing RM footwear (Magnums on ice ,there's a thought). Oh the possibilities are endless.
