Man Down

Saturday

We were sat in the pub, waiting for the Boat Race to start.

A fellow squad member from Striders came through the door, turns out he's the brother of someone I rowed with at Mersey RC.

"I didn't know you were into the rowing?" he said.

"You don't know the half of it." was all I managed to reply, as the 'Nam-style flashbacks shot through my brain at a blistering speed.
