Ladies Man.

Stirling Moss has put his neck on the line by saying that women don't have the mental capability to race F1 cars.  It's very brave driving an F1 car, but saying that?  Very dangerous.  I expect he's been mis-quoted to make a good headline, but I think that was the gist of it.  The trouble is that he comes from an age where women in business and sport were very different to today, although it's clear they have a long way to go.  About 78 laps depending on the circuit.
Talking of sport, a headline yesterday heralded 'the end of the beautiful game' in relation to some football hooliganism - not sure if it was Milwall, but it's likely.  It's not the hooliganism that draws my attention, it's the words they use.  'Beautiful game'.   What a load of rubbish, and used even by the reputable BBC, although they do have the sense to put it in inverted commas when saying it - if you know what I mean.  ..and how many superlatives can can you get in one sports program?  Look no further than the Masters Golf tournament over the last few days.  I'm no golfer, and in fact I have always thought it's a bit of a strange game - a man knocking a ball into a hole surrounded by complex rules that you judge yourself on, but the BBC seemed to have a huge number of commentators/pundits/experts on hand to add their two-pennyworth.  Not sure I've spelt that correctly.

Did my 100 mile ride yesterday - made doubly more difficult by the wind. 27mph forecast, but the gusts must have been more than that.  I was seriously low on energy at about 75 miles, but even managed to up the pace for the last 3 miles, so it just shows how your energy levels change.  Must have been the flapjack.
