We were watching a program about organ donors and specifically heart transplants the other week. I was suddenly struck by how amazing it is that we have the ability to remove the very core of a human, the one organ that keeps everything going, and replace it with one out of another that has died to keep them alive.

The fact that you can transplant an organ is amazing enough, but to revive a (basically) dead person is incredible.

Funny old world, innit!

I could've sworn I saw a bloke in the paddock last week, up to his armpits in oil, taking a four-sizes-too-big drill to the side of a perfectly reasonable looking bike, surrounded by bits of plate alloy and a selection of old files with a hint of mechanical madness in his eye...... did make me wonder if he'd been for an op recently!

I wonder if he's suddenly fallen in love with Dukes, and can't hold his drink whilst on flu medication!

Or whether he's taken to crashing more than the average angel and always finding something/someone else to blame!!

That just reminded me of something cute. When Dave's godson, George - aka TMG (Top Man George) was told about his uncle he looked a bit perplexed for a few seconds. But when he figured it all out he said 'Wow. He's going to make a cool angel.' Aint kids sweet ..... when they're someone elses.

Everyone can speak Jamaican easily:

Just say 'beer can' outloud without it sounding like Jamaican.

Go on you can't do it....
