The Racers Edge

At the age of 40, I decided to go motor racing - The ultimate mid life crisis.

Changes

It's been a busy time for me recently, but not with racing. I finish my current contract at NAG tomorrow and start a six month conract at BSkyB on Monday, so it's back to driving to work - I'm planning to pick up a cheap-ish diesel rather than put ~380 miles a week on my S3.

I spent the last 2 weeks in the alps giving my legs their annual hammering on the slopes. This was the first time we've been to Europe for many years, and the weather was more like March with sunny skies for most of the 2 weeks - It was great to Ski in Chammonix and Megeve, but I think we'll be heading back to Canada next year. One thing that struck me a strange: The main motorway from Geneva to Chammonix (and on through the Mont Blanc tunnel) has enough capacity for the volume of holiday makers that head for the alps each weekend, so what do they do? They put 2 toll booths on the road which cause major tailbacks! Crazy.........

On the MMGW front, these seems to be more and more people prepared to stand up and say that it's not cut and dried. See http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/525231/world-saved-again.thtml .........

You should get a smart car DJ.

How's things going being back at BSkyB? Plenty of banter?
