Wow

That’s all I can say. Just saw this on the news this evening. This lady deserves a medal but in this addled country of ours she is more likely to be prosecuted for assault.

It’s a shame there aren’t more like her in this country.

Best Wishes To Renault’s Robert Kubica

Best wishes to Robert Kubica for a swift recovery following his crash on Sunday.

F1 in particular and motor Sport in general needs this mans talent. With the F1 season due to start in a few weeks an essential element of spice is going to be missing from the mix.

Renault’s Robert Kubica airlifted to hospital after being injured in rally crash – Telegraph.

Gary Moore – Legend

The world is a sadder place following the news that blues guitarist Gary Moore has passed away.

Gary was one of the worlds most revered guitarists who shared the stage with many heroes of the blues and rock genre including B.B. & Albert King, Colosseum, Greg Lake, Thin Lizzy and Skid Row. It is through his playing with Skid Row that I first encountered Gary and became an avid fan. I was introduced to the album, Skid, by some enlightened friends. Bob & Sue …. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Skid was the first album for Skid Row and was released back in 1970 when Gary would have been just 18. I remember being impressed with his speed and dexterity.

And now I’ve just realised that he and I shared the same year of birth and that he didn’t quite make it to his 59th birthday.

58 is no age at all.
