		James is jealous of the 2005 Worlds venue - "I've never raced in Japan" and clearly looking forward to hopefully competing at Eton in 2006, when he confidently expects "the biggest crowds ever to attend a World Champs" (so get your holiday plans sorted now, guys).
		Cracknell has never felt entirely comfortable on bow-side, despite a good deal of hard work to acclimatise quickly, and it is the loss of instinct when under intense pressure that he regrets the most about the swap (and which could have been contributory to the poor 2003 season the pair had).
		Cracknell would be the first to salute and celebrate that.
