    However you are in control of all those risk factors and in a position to do something about them. There is not much chance of someone walking up behind you and putting a bullet in you or trying to blow you up.

      Yeah, reporters aren't used to getting into risky situations at all. Those war correspondents with their show-off armoured vests.

            I've as much choice in the matter as someone who chooses to take a job in Iraq, yes, although I'm not in a position to do much about the sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day as the alternative is destitution.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
