Never mind the two racing snakes who have won their respective championships, all they have is; speed, energy, skill, youth, a lack of fear and the ability to buy slim Italian off the peg leathers that fit perfectly.
Whereas we have science on our side;
speed = distance x time; well I know with the amount of times I overrun corners, get on the wrong line and generally wader round the tracks I am covering more distance than they are, and at my age time seems to fly past, so it stands to reason the speed is good.
Then of course there is E=MC2; so if Energy is Mass x Speed (of light) squared....well many of us have pleanty of that mass stuff, so the combined mass and speed of everyone else is.....well, bloody staggering!
So I think the reason that these two have just buggered off into the the distance is that they have to, because if they slowed down at all, they would get flattened by speeding mass following them!
So come and join the speeding mass and have fun with us on the back seats!

I've got one of those i.q. thingys, my Mum and Dad gave it as a birth day present, but to be honest have not really used it, especially when racing when I just leave it at home!

So to deal with a vampire it's a steak in the heart, and now I find out that to deal with a ghost it's a pork chop up the nose!
Funny what you learn in DD

My only problem is that first, you have to catch your ghost!

Put a tin of Magners under a box that's propped up with a stick, tie string to the stick, keep hold of the other end of the string and hide.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.
