I'm going through the usual ACU licence woes again. The ACU have returned my app' asking for a full medical from my Renal Consultant.

It seems things have moved on somewhat since my last application, last time (2006) my Consultant was happy to tick boxes and send the form, this time she wants ECG, bloods the lot....

It's a bloody pain in the arse to be honest, it's just another level of stress to contend with and (in my opinion) wholly unnecessary! Any fule can see I'm as fit as a butchers dog!

I've still got to jump through the hoops tho'. :o( Pitting the two most sluggish bureaucracies in Christendom (NHS and ACU) means I'm going to be cutting it really fine for the test day at Jurby on the 22nd! (Licence holders only!)

This was one of the things I really didn't miss during my 2 years off, bloody jobsworths round every corner, all I want to do is race a motorbike for heavens sake! It's not like it's rocket science!
