It was a great weekend. I went faster on practice day than I though I was going to. By some way. I was convinced I had a decent chance of qualifying. Small grid at Mallory you see. 

Unfortunately, I didn't make it. By 0.2 of a second :rolleyes: Another half a second would have seen me around 20th. It's bloody tight out there. To give you an idea, I was lapping in 62 seconds. The front runners do 58's. 

I qualified 34th from 49, only 32 made the grid. So it was the 'cup' races for me.

I enjoyed the cup races though. Up at the sharp end dicing for wins is great fun. I got 2nd, two 4th's and a 6th. So I'm one of the quickest slow guys if ya like :lol: 

 In the Military races I had a small get off in the first one after a collision with a Navy lad then a 21st in the second one. 

The bike is a bit second hand so it is going to need to be rebuilt before Donington at the end of July. Thankfully, a friend has given me a new frame for free :)

Hit the gym and you’ll shave off the half second in no time.

I think I’d last as a teacher for about an hour before wanting to murder someone.

That's the second time I've seen you talk about murdering someone in the five minutes or so that I've been on today.

Do you take requests?

Only for a song.

 

Mind you when I start singing people want to take their own lives so the end result is the same.

New job starts on Monday, my pay and healthcare benefits start Monday, I don’t actually have to turn up until the 22nd of July and even then it’s a couple of weeks CPD first

TV all to myself, and back to back Columbo episodes on 5USA until 9pm.

Now you are just showing off.

Just started attempting to prepare an upstairs sash window for painting. Absolutely no reason to be cheerful.

Oh there's no doubt about that. I was up 18 stone but I'm down to 16.5 now. It's getting harder to shift. Ideally I'd like to get back to 15.5 maybe even 15 then I should getting further up the grid. I'll never be a racing snake again but in the class I race in, common opinion is that a stone = 4bhp and when you've only got 52bhp to start with, that's a lot :)
