Life's about experiences. These are mine.
Autosport is reporting today that Max Mosley is thinking of running again to be President of the sports governing body as: “When a lot of people say ‘you should stay’, it would be sort of churlish not to.” Well if it’s any help I am saying ‘you should go’ and perhaps he should consider that …
Last night the WilliamsF1 club ran one of it’s occasional trips to the Williams museum, a £50 million collection of cars spanning right across the 30 year history of the team.

I was lucky enough to get an opportunity last night to visit the synchrotron at the Diamond Light Source at Harwell, Oxfordshire. Unfortunately, due to bad weather and an accident on the A34 I was late and missed the start of the presentation. This meant that I missed the why are we here part of …
So we are here to say goodbye to Humphrey Lyttelton long-time chairman to the antidote to panel games I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, who passed away yesterday. It has only a few months ago that all the family went to see him on stage with the rest of the panel and, as I noted …
