Dude. Medicine.
Also - my interests... 'sums??'
You see, that's your killer weakness. It's the attack that anyone who meets you at the end of a level should use, if you want to put it that way.
I'm flattered that you called me eloquent, but when did I try to negotiate rapids in a skiff? I once got a 30ft boat caught between two banks of the cherwell, but that was an unrelated incident.
Well don't tell the world my achilles heel, Nathan. They shoudl discover it by joyful surprise in some sort of digital abandoned warehouse when all hope seems lost.
I was trying to hint at the time you took a crew ("skif") over a weir ("rapids"). I had two problems in writing the summary
1) I don't know if that event ever really happened
2) What do you call those.. boats? Unless people are already thinking "boat race" there doesn't seem to be a good word to describe what you people go out in. I almost wrote "rowboat", but that's completely the wrong image.
Use your boatie magic and re-write that sentance so it sounds like the author knew what they were talking about. Wait, I mean so that it sounds like the author knew what xe was talking about.
It did, only we didn't go OVER the weir... we went down the slipstream TO the weir. Luckily we got wedged between the banks so we didn't get dragged any further.
