i had to laugh at the poor dears who were shocked at the language in the hotel-not only had they bothered jc at 10pm at night for selfies they then sat in shock listening but couldnt wait to run to the papers. If you dont like someones language and whats with that-oh your poor ears. leave or complain to management-the children present at 10pm, well that's just bad parenting in my view.

Looks like FIAT's 500 only policy is starting to cause problems. No "fresh" European cars since the Bravo and Grande Punto is leaving Chrysler/Lancia's line up looking stale and unsuited to European tastes. Looks like only the 500's, Alfa's and Jeeps will be around in the foreseeable future.

These guys are both competing under the UMCA rules for this one and that is the definition that counts, debating the in's/out's, right's/wrong's is pointless when the guys out there putting the miles in know what they have signed up for and have made calculated decisions about how they will best challenge each other.

My wife and I went to our son's primary school for a parents' evening. We were standing in the corridor next to the Girls' loo. The sign said "Girl's". With examples like that, how on earth can kids learn where to put apostrophes?

I've just been browsing through some old race programmes I bought on E-bay, and there on the editorial intro was "Lister Jaguar's and Lister Corvette's". The programmes date from 1959.

I had all this apostrophe business down to poor education and general dumbing-down , but it's obviously been going on for some time.

Just about the facts of the matter. The worst thing of course being the public exposure of Tymon, who has become a tool of the leftist cretins who's agenda the entire circus has been.

A pox on them , and their house.
