Nonono. This is my sailing club. There is no adjudication, no entry qualifications, no rules. It's brownies and cookies and photography...

Maybe one could collect data on elected leaders' eye colours starting from before colour images (tv, newspapers) were widely available...

I did feel I'd rather be dead than lift weights.
