Now I can't wait til Sunday, phone off the hook, drawer the curtains and pretend not to be in, and watch the final.
Git, you had me going with this bit, I thought you meant tomorrow so frantically bought a TV guide so I could plan my day around the finale of this and the considerably more dull F1.
Only to get irate at the BBC for not showing the final race but showing snooker and gymnastics instead) The fact that I firmly believed that they could make such a decision is telling I would guess.
It is of course not until next weekend, so that's a relief, but boy did I get angry with the Beeb last night!

So, Haydens going well at the mo,Vale is still pushing for race set up.
Capirex is the current danger man.If you were Nicky, would you be happy to see a fellow eyetie in front of you ?
Anyone else transfixed by the possibilities for this Sunday ?
Exactly how many "works" Hondas are going to be on the grid ?
The anticipation is excruciating.I cant think of one other race, with the exception of the Bayliss/Edwards WSB fight that filled with me with as much excitement.

After last week I've got that kind of "nngggg" feeling of pent up excitement. I've missed so many races this year (and am not really a motorbike kind of guy, but the racing is soo good, such a spectacle, and to have it finely balanced....I can't wait!
