A few weeks ago I went back to Oz and hired a bike in Adelaide to ride across to Phillip Island for the MotoGP. Unfortunately, unless I wanted a cruiser, Adelaide literally had a choice of one half-decent bike so I loaded up the Kriegas and headed off on the Yamaha FZ600 with Mark on

As you may know, I’m a bit of a Formula One fan and one of the benefits of being a McLaren team member (apart from the free earplugs) is you get the chance to go on things like pit visits at Grands Prix. Last week was the final pre-season test for the 2010 Formula One

2008 seems to be the Year of Weddings. There was Jonathan and Louise’s in July, Paul and Bonnie’s in August, Claire and Ed’s in October, Chloe and Kieran’s is in November and last month was Mark and Penny’s. That’s five weddings in as many months. Kathryn likes this because it means she has to buy
