Also, just watched Colin McRae - Rally Legend. You must all buy this film, it's fantastic.

I got an email back from PM's office with a response to a petition I'd signed not long ago. It was a shit response, but a response nonetheless. And the one against road pricing did a reasonable job.

So yes, someone reads them.

Not sure John's got enough cash these days to afford ennoblement mind.

Job done here too.

Sharing the same surname has got me into places I would never have got in without it. So pleased to sign the petition.

I do have an uncle John, but alas not the same one. But he was into motorbikes, and when he was a lad, he was pulled over by the police for speeding, and the copper said to him, who do you think you are John Surtees. Well, he said, yes I am. Unfortunatley, the police didn't see the funny side, and he got a fine, which my grandad protested, but to no avail.!!!

Oh yes he has - he owns (the other half) of the town where we both live!

Everyone - you MUST do this
