The ability to laugh at one’s self takes the tension out of many difficult moments. When Colin Bullock contacted me with his ‘Magic Moments’ from trials, it certainly made me laugh. We all have to laugh at ourselves sometimes, trust me! One of Colin’s comments reminded me of one of my ‘Moments’ which, in hindsight, I had to laugh at. I had new camera gear I wanted to use all packed in my camera bag. I was travelling down to Devon for a British Championship trial and met my good friend John R Shirt at his house. He loaded my bags into his van, perfect. So we arrive at the trial on the Saturday in time for practice, and my camera bag is missing. After telling John I was not happy, the minder for Michael Brown, Shaughan Galway, turned to me and laughed; he said it was like a porn star turning up at a photoshoot with no cock! I then phoned my wife, who asked me why I had not taken my camera bag out of my office! Brilliant. Check the mirror to see your face, and I bet you’re laughing when you read about what Colin Bullock got involved with at trials; checkout these ‘Magic Moments’.
