Formula One

It is astonishing how such a group of well meaning individuals can truly fuck something up – I was looking forward to this as my family used to go to Donnington to watch the BTCC and MotoGP when I was younger (Guinness sponsored a couple of different manufacturers = corporate hospitality :) )

Ok, so that wasn’t quite formula one, but they were giving the place a much needed refresh to welcome the British Grand Prix to its new home and everything looked quite exciting.. the track is well on it’s way to being finished and all they needed was the £135m to support the event but they couldn’t find it. What is sickening is that at least this figure was spent on legal fees and arguing over track designs / changes to be made before anything was even done.

Without Formula one, how will the place ever survive with the massive debts they must now have? A victim of the credit-crunch, or just cack-handed management?

Fire in the hood…


Didn’t expect to be woken up by the fire brigade at 2 o’clock this morning!

Me: ‘Better check our car park to make sure our cars are ok…’

Sophia: ‘Ooh, fireman – look at their powerful hoses!’

Gemma made tea.

Typical!
