I really enjoy watching the full day's coverage of the BTCC and they do seem to have got the entertainment package right, but there is a real element of guilt surrounding spending the whole day in front of the telly box.
Just switched back on after watching BTCC race 1.9 cars in Formula Renault........not good enough.
Went to Brands a couple of weeks ago,7 cars in British F3.....pathetic.
Ever since passing my test, in the absence of a car I walk instead of taking any form of public transport, especially as Dad was a bus driver I've seen the inner workings of the system. It's only tolerable if you're actually the driver...

Well, I've just seen Brian from The Breakfast Club having a pint. Your move.
Go up and give him a hard punch on the left arm and exclaim "Scaffold says buy your own beer." Then brush the entire contents of the table top onto the floor while humming the theme tune from The Dukes of Hazzard. He'll know what it's all about and will laugh heartily. There may be a message to pass on from him, so I await your response.
Just back from visiting MiL in hospital. She wasn't where we left her yesterday which was a bit of a shock. The staff apologised for not letting us know she'd been moved. In this particular hospital, as you get better, you proceed through wards with progressively less intense care. This is a good sign. The only down side she is they've put her in a room with three dementia sufferers. Nurses have the patience of saints, I've decided. The poor soul in the bed next to her was under the impression that all the nurses were her nurse, Mary, from her well-to-do childhood I would guess. "Mary, Mary, get my pills, Mary. Mary, Mary, get my pills, Mary. Mary, who are these people? [Us, this was] Mary, these people have to go, Mary. Mary, these people have to go, Mary. Mary, these people have to go, Mary. [short pause] Mary, Mary, get my pills, Mary. Mary, Mary, get my pills, Mary."
After about five minutes I'd had considerably more than enough. MiL, bless her, is very deaf and misses most of it.
My old fella had a dread of turning out like this and asked if we ever visited and found him on a plastic chair with his trousers round his ankles we were to suggest a boat ride, take him out into the middle of the harbour and drop him over the side.
And yet, the older he became, the less often he mentioned it.
As it turned out he kept his marbles right up to the end when he was out of his head on Morphine. "D'you know," he said one of the last times I saw him, "I can't tell if this real or a dream." "It's real, dad." "Ah, but you might be saying that in my dream."

Unfortunately there was no response. After his friends became irate, I was asked to leave He'll know what it's all about and will laugh heartily. There may be a message to pass on from him, so I await your response.
