[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Yes, well down here the convention has always been to say "double yew double yew double yew" ... but I've noticed a biggish backlash against it now, with people trying things like "all the dubyas" or "three dubyas" or (rarely) "triple double yew", but I think it creates even more confusion and isn't very satisfactory really.

It IS a crisis, I agree. Sometimes I don't sleep at night for worrying about it

The consolation is that, like the letter "o", you can't mistake "w" for anything else. Which is why radio operators like to have the letters "o" and "w" in their callsigns. Somewhat useless trivia, that. I think I need a beer.

And thanks Antonio, yes I am better now... haven't had any pain to speak of for nearly a week, so I might be taking my first tentative runs again soon. Yea!
