What, exactly, is Formula 1? It's not as daft a question as it might first appear. Is it, as some would have us believe, the pinnacle of motosport technology? Think about it. Where did we first see disc brakes, the science of aerodynamics, turbocharging? Not in F1. Let's go back in time a little way. The technology was in the Le Mans cars, the...

monza gorilla's world of strange
I'm here less and less. I haven't completely lost interest; but we talk about the same things over and over and over and over and over again. During the winter the forum topics drift into strange waters, far removed from F1 but often entertaining nonetheless. As the new season approaches the anticipation builds and testing times are analysed. The...
One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts. (Samuel Johnson)
Well, it's true, isn't it? And hello again. The forum has provided rich pickings recently in terms of blog fodder but I've decided to home in on the subject of alcohol this time. Thanks to Mike for resurrecting the thread, and to Steve for...

This blog entry is inspired by a conversation I had with Dribbler at his workshop. While Steve consumed a rather dodgy looking fish pie bake thing (I suspect Mrs Dribbler is trying to do away with him) and Pa Dribbler railed against everything to do with business rates and how crap the police are, I thought to myself "there's a blog entry...
She just slipped away this afternoon.
I'll be taking a short break from the forum - back in a week or so.

As promised, this time it's about Carl Giles.
Carl Giles was a genius.
Nuff said.
Next instalment possibly on Christmas Eve.

Well, Demolition Man was not the entry that I intended it to be - it sort of ran out of steam, a bit like Fred himself. So I'll revisit Britain's most famous steeplejack another time with a better effort and try to do him justice. But, carrying on with the heroes theme, let's talk about a guy who inspired me as a teenager...

Yesterday a squirrelly little man with a tweed cap turned up and ripped out my kitchen. It only took him 2 and a half hours which, considering the size of the kitchen, was quite impressive. Now all he has to do is fit the new one. By Friday.

Hello again.
The last entry was a bit of a bummer, wasn't it? Well I think it's only fair that this time around I should be a little more "up", so here's a tale of derring do from the family archives!
This is a little story about one of my living relatives, my wicked Great Uncle Godfrey. He's not really wicked, but I liked...

This is a heavily edited version of what I was originally going to post some time ago, so forgive me if some parts don't scan too well. The original was rather long winded and was just a bit too personal, even for someone as open as I am, so I've reined it in a little.
