I remember that thread. He made it sound REALLY unappealing!
Yes. Deliberately. Because if I'm out there marshalling, the last thing I want is to be stuck at a post with a bunch of whiny little fucktards (not that you are, Match, but you know what I mean) moaning about how it's actually hard work and not just a cruisy bludge. When you're out on the circuit picking up bikes during a race, your life literally depends on the other people at your point. I don't want anyone out there who isn't 100% motivated and 100% serious about what they're doing, because it's my arse that could get run over if they goof off. It's uncomfortable, tedious and dangerous. I'm not going to sugarcoat that.

Nothing to do with me, I only asked if I could get in as a scrutineer... FBS02 rightly pointed out that it might be a bit unlikely if I don't have any other scrutineering experience
I'm just a knuckle-dragger, Drew. I don't make the decisions. Give 'em a yell, you might be pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty sure they are fairly hard up for scrutineers, particularly on the Thursday before the race, when they're trying to look over all the bikes.
I got my letter in the mail the other day. We have until 30 June to register. There were a bunch of URLs on the bottom of the form, but none of them have links to an application form or even any information about volunteer officials. That is somewhat typical of the orgy-nisation (or lack thereof) that underpins the whole operation. But they're nice people and they try hard - that makes up for a lot in my book.
