"I was a little sloppy out of the blocks, but I was able to hold on," he added.

Who wrote this article? The 'Carry On' scriptwriters?

One of my favourites from last year was when George Micheal was involved in a collision in his car and one of the tabloids had on their front page:

"Trucker shunts George Micheal in the rear!"

I'd say they'd been waiting years for an opportunity like that!!!

"It wasn't bad, but I was a little fatigued toward the end," Gay said. "I tried to stay relaxed and bring it home, but it wasn't enough."

This is quality stuff
