I feel that I must do all I can to keep alive the motorcycling legacy of Edgar, my dear, late Grandfather, whilst maintaining the high educational standards set for me by my Mama. I abhor naughtiness and immorality.

The TT 2011

It is always a very great pleasure for me to go to the TT, and this year was no exception.  Some good people let me stay in their hospitality caravan in the paddock area (as long as I prepared the breakfasts and did the washing up) and so I got to meet up with many old family friends - people like Murray Walker, who was a great friend of my Grandfather, Edgar, and little Charlie Williams who I remember as a fresh-faced young boy.

It was great to see some of the new riders too - Cal Crutchlow and that nice American boy, Nicholas Hayden. But, even though he can be a bit coarse and vulgar, my special favourite was Guy Martin.  I did so want to see him win a TT, but he was unlucky again.  Of course, last year he suffered such a bad crash, and perhaps it is his nonchalant bravery that appeals to me - it reminds me of my Grandfather's bravery when he too crashed, remounted and finished with such badly burned feet, only to then be disqualified.

Good luck Guy (but do try not to use so many rude words).

    Alice dear: I like Guy because he is a RACER. I know you are a young girl with raging hormones, but do try to keep them under control.

    I'm pretty sure the testosterone that fuels a racing heart comes with a bit of a vulgar byproduct. (Typically) It's got to be rare these days to find yourself a true, gentleman racer. It's got to be rare to find yourself a rare gentleman.

    Hallo Brady - it is so nice to have an educated man visit my site. And your wife must be jolly clever too! It is indeed rare to find a gentleman these days; so much profanity and vulgarity is used, even by the aristocracy. I see you are going to Germany - well, there everybody is properly addressed as Herr this or Frau(lein) that - my good friend Ophelia even called her husband 'Herr Bolz' for the first three years of their marriage!
