February 13th, 2012 · 2 Comments
No, I don’t know either. On the subject of tyres, cross country cars, Atlas Mountain rallies, I am fully in touch with my feminine side. Don’t know a sausage about this sorta stuff.

Apparently there’s a new movie called Puss in Boots coming out. Isn’t that a variation on Dick Whittington? So it’s about Boris again?

It could be that I’m just late to the party Or it could be that they’re late getting the ad agencies to tell everyone the video’s available. Whichever, here’s the AV sports day video
