It was good. Typical Guy style, but "more interesting" than the speed records he did in several vehicles.

I didn't watch the speed thing.

The first time I saw him was when he was doing up an old barge or something, a few years ago.

I had no idea who he was, and wondered about his 'strange' delivery.
It was only later that I found out about his Asperger's.

I was also surprised to discover all his racing achievements, given that I had never ever heard of him before.

But then I suppose F1 gets more TV time that motorcycle racing?

I didn't know he was an Aspie. I liked the straight forward delivery. He did land speed stuff, where he had to learn to operate a vehicle and then attempt a world speed record. e.g. there was one of him cycling on a bike ... they were all speed-related using vehicles different to his usual motorbikes.

I'd never heard of him before - I loved his "simple/non-celeb-style excitement at what he was going". Genuine stuff.

I would never watch a programme about a motorcyclist, or any racing; I've no interest in the subjects at all. He just made what he was doing "very watchable".

Off to pick up some wine? After 8000 years it should be extremely well matured by now :rotfl:

Wow! It looks like he's still whizzing along every week or whatever in the Beano!

For my own safety I won't be confirming where I'm going (or when) until I get there. All I can confirm is that I'm going somewhere for work.

TIA = Thanks in advance.

Nope, but the plane I'll be on does have W!ZZ down the size of it, so why not?



The route I'm on is usually operated by an A320 rather than the A321 in the photo, but you get the general idea :cool:
