When I was a kid if anyone had told me that within 30 years it would be socially acceptable to wave a Skoda flag around I would've laughed at you.

No rain and the wind is pushing those clouds to the East, so it should be nice.

Wearing a fully buttoned shirt sans tie has long been a scientific flag for a disturbed mind.

Although it did seem every police car and motorbike in the North of England was there, so would have been the perfect day to do illegal stuff.

On the morning of Diana's funeral me and a mate took advantage of the total absence of any living creature to go racing up and down the local A-roads. Happy times.

I was 35m from the finish and the crowd cheered every time Cav was mentioned by the announcers, and a massive 'OOOH' when the crash happened. Didn't get anywhere near the barriers to see anything (about 15m behind them) so I'm camped up in my car on a side road in Knaresborough at the A59 T-junction and tomorrow will station myself where the polka-dot pub is at a sharp left after a short, steep descent out of town...you'll recognize it when it comes on the coverage!

I was really nervous that the turn-out would be crap, the weather wouldn't co-operate, the bikes would literally disintegrate on our roads.....but no!
