Still praying for Michael and Jules and hoping they recover 

loss of a dear friend. Thank you Top Gear

Absolutely shattered at the news that Jeremy Clarkson has been sacked. For over five years Top Gear had given me much joy, Jeremy, Richard and James have brightened up the dull drudge of life with their antics and have given so many people great happiness . Their comments about the way the world is May be controversial but they are so true and I think that because they are often too close to the bone and so they have been punished in the worst way possible In these far too analysed times in losing their beloved and outspoken figure head and so shattering an irreplaceable bond on television.What Jeremy did was wrong, but surely they could have sought another punishment instead of ruining such a successful show by sacking him. I heartily do not believe Top Gear can ever work without our beloved trio together. I was a fan of the BBC but no longer, instead all I can think of is many other words starting with b b and c to describe them for ending such a wonderful and enjoyable era. I am so depressed that Top Gear is over as we all know and adore it. Thank you Jeremy, James and Richard for all the years you made me laugh and taught me such a lot about places I would never have known about and for introducing me to Formula One. You three have lit up my evenings with your 'ambitions but rubbish' adventures. I guess the only consolation is that we won't see you three getting tired and losing your humour due to not knowing when to end or seeing one of you get seriously hurt or worse. At least Top Gear is still at its peak at this inevitable end. I hope that you all know how many people truly love you all for your immeasurable characters. Jeremy, don't let them beat you, your views are shared by so many and we applaud you for having the courage to voice what most of us are really thinking but rarely say.
Thank you all so very much. There will never be a trio like you again and hope there never will be.
And on that bombshell it's time for me to sign off with a lump in my throat and to wallow in misery.

It was Michael Schumacher's 46th Birthday on January 3rd Didn't get time to send my best wishes on the day but I am now and am praying the new year brings his recovery ever closer. You are always in my prayers dear boy xxx

So terrible about the tragic death of  Test Cricketer Phillip Hughes after he was hit by a cricket ball during play and suffered fatal head injuries. What a streak of horrendous luck for such a lovely young man, so sorry for his family and team. Can't believe what horror has befallen so many wonderful sportsmen this year.

Keep Fighting Michael and Jules, still with you and I am so sorry for Phillip and his family, thoughts are with you xxxx

Happy Birthday for yesterday Kimi Raikkonen

Kimi Boy. Happy birthday you old rogue. You may be the oldest in the field but you have the most character by far. Hope to see you on the podium again very soon.
 We all know you know what you are doing...Can't leave you alone though, you're too fun to watch.




Praying still for Michael and for Jules, somehow, someday, you'll both be yourselves again, happy and well, my thoughts are always with you xxx
