I don’t always agree with your journalism or your opinions. But no one can fault your efforts here. Well done Simon.

Hi there, does this work? It’s possible mine has restrictive settings

I’d be happy to do one. I’ve got a semi interesting story, 77 accidents, lots of broken bones, a few bans (ahem) and several seasons racing

Sport is hard, Simon.

For FUCK’S sake it needs something. There’s no actual racing. It’s 2 hours if the qualifying bf positions slowly pulling away from the person behind. Liberty clearly don’t care about actual racing.

Are we HONESTLY still painting Israel as the victim here? @itvnews.bsky.social you should be ashamed.

@motogp.com looks like Adobe have invented AI Maverick Vinales…

@matoxley.bsky.social is it remotely possible that Jorge is being influenced (again) by renowned reactive hot-head Aleix Espargaro? ;-)

How about a comma after β€˜becomes’? ;-)

I do and it’s great.

How was the Cotswold and what age is it? I had a few of their early variants, they were far too sharp on the first year or two but mellowed after

My absolute favourite ! Had the good fortune to meet the great man once. In my opinion one of the best ever.

Great photo too, and beautifully branded label. Not heard of it, but on the radar now.

Works in favour of a Toprak arrival tho eh? ;-)

That might make a Toprak transition easier…

It’s the same as β€˜while you’re here, Mr Pentelow, how about we check your prostate?…’

Ahhh yes apols, that’s Anglesey on my 600. Had a dreadful accident that weekend. Brain injury.

Actually Oulton, end of last year. Also a beautiful circuit, but yeah I love Anglesey. I still hold a stock 400cc lap record there from my racing days (on a ZXR)

What the heck is that? Are you drinking a creamy chicken soup? That's NOT a tea colour...

I still laugh about an angry interview he once gave, can't recall context but he'd felt crossed, and he said '...and I'm not stupid!.... well, I mean I AM stupid, but y'know, I'm not THAT stupid...'

yeah... and it was exactly the cause you suspect. At about 4am.

Haha... I once fell asleep on a subway in NYC, and ended up in sidings near Coney Island.

Laphroaigh 10 all day long. I always have one in my store, one of my favourite winter whiskies.
