Cor... it's just like watching a Grand Prix.

I wasnt going to look at that until you said that Gill  >:(

Nothing like a Grand Prix at all, more like golf or tennis.
Looking forward to Silverstone this weekend, good luck Felippe  :)

Hope its a good a race as last weeks MotoGp was, which Rossi won in great style after a terrific last lap  :)

Sorry Sandra - I couldn't resist :) .  No doubt hubby and little sister will be watching the Grand Prix this weekend too.  I'll watch just the start in case anything exciting happens (car crash TV is a giggle at times).

I wonder what the future holds for F1 now that so many teams have declared UDI?  Actually, I don't really wonder - just trying to be polite and show an interest!

The Black Watch is supposed to sailing from Dover to the Baltic tonight.  :dunno: Perhaps it's sunk!   ;D  Friends of mine went in the Island Escape a few weeks ago and had a great time.  I guessed you would enjoy that website!   ;)

That's actually quite fascinating - for a minute or two.  :)
