As in Brighton Uni Mav? My alma mata? Was a Poly in those days mind...

Shame to hear but it does happen. Some the Mokey's friends changed courses for the same reason.

Glad Eleri is happy Gary.

Yes, Brighton Uni Sir Trev. Was supposed to be a Film studies course, but was really a media studies course, not what she wanted to do.

Majorly homesick as well. Came home Thursday, called Suffolk Uni if she could enroll on a history course, started on the Monday.

I was much happier she was doing history, as media studies isn't going to get you anywhere?

Even so I don't know what she's going to do after finishing.

Snetterton yesterday! My first time there- challenging, but fun. Shared a garage with some good guys. Had a cracking day - despite a 2hr break when a Ducati decided to sick up it's motor oil after the hairpin (Montreal). Bike fared not too badly, rider a little worse off with apparently a broken clavicle but he stuck around the rest of the day:







Garage of SV's. There were quite a few there, but only the near one in this pic in my group that I noticed:



And respect to the guy lugging this sexy beast around the track:

Bank error in your favour £15, which I wasn't expecting.
In fact it was an error with my late mother's account, and Nat West had found it 4 years after she'd passed away and I'd closed the account.

What's also spooky is the cheque was sent to my current address, I have moved three times since
