Life's about experiences. These are mine.
Last night I got an opportunity that doesn’t come along very often. The chance to attend the FOTA fan forum at the WilliamsF1 HQ in Grove, Oxfordshire and for those that can’t be bothered to read to the end it was a fantastic evening. For the uninitiated FOTA is the Formula One Teams’ Association and …
Dear Mr Hamilton, I am writing to you to apologise for the words I shouted at you during your incident with the WilliamsF1 driver Pastor Maldonado late in yesterday’s European Grand Prix.

This, as the name suggests, allows you to record time lapse videos on your iPhone. The options are pretty simple, choose how often …
Trevor Horn is one of my favourite musicians/producers having worked on so many albums that I have loved. Now he is working with a number of others, including 10CC’s Lol Creme, collectively called The Producers.
