Wetter than an otter's pocket here.

Actually looking forward to Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on Telly, as it's filmed in our favourite Folly - Gwrych Castle - it's just 20 minutes from our caravan and we've been regular to watch the restoration progress (it's not a real castle for those not in the know). Hopefully this will generate some much needed cash and visitors to continue the restoration.

Not that I'll be watching but I wondered where it was. I'd have thought south Wales or similar but as a folly it makes more sense where it is and explains the ruins I've seen before travelling across to Holyhead. If you look on Google Maps there's a photo taken last month from the crane they had showing set construction.

I need better pins for next season's Sutton and Turkington voodoo dolls... :crazy:

Realistically, Honda have been just that bit behind the curve this year. I think that Dan did brilliantly to stay in the mix right to the very end, especially if you see what the other Honda drivers achieved - or rather, didn't. Plus he had a couple of mechanicals early doors that really cost him.
It might not be the pins. What you really need is something that's been close to the person. Send for an autographed photo maybe, then attach that to the doll you're using.

Badadumdum-ching.

At least you didn't try to make anything of the "table Saw" reference.
That might be a saw point though.
Just cut to the chase instead.

Reminder to self - next time double check the start times for the F1 & BTCC, don't rely on the 'normal' timing. Set the up shed to do a bit of routing bike maintenance while watching the BTCC on the laptop expecting the usual 11am 1st race start after a couple of supports. Nope - first race 10am so caught the post race interviews. Come midday I swiched over to SKY F1 for the start of the Turkish GP at the normal European start time just in time to see the chequered flag being waived :banghead::banghead::banghead:
At least I got to see the BTCC races 2 & 3 everything is on my BT box to watch over the rest of the week.

Next F1 race will be earlier than yesterday's.
