Jobs to do before you die

Web MonkeyLife, NW200, racing, Wilson Craig

  I have a big list of em I’m working my way through, and getting locked up isn’t one of them. If it was, it’d ticked off now. There I was on Wednesday, minding my own buisness at work when I got taken to the cells by Mr Policeman. Not a clever thing, I’ll tell you, but I’m out in …

As sharp as a marble

Web MonkeyLife, stuff

  As sharp as a marble, as thick as mince or as green as I am cabbage looking, that’s me. Not the sharpest tool in the box.

Harvest time and the Manx GP

Web MonkeyBlogs by Guy Martin, Combine Harvester, Life

The Shining

  Why haven’t I seen this film before? The Shining is up there with ’em, isnt it? I’d heard of it but only just managed to see it after being lent it. Now that’s what I call a film.

Do you reckon she’s a bird-pulling machine? They’d have to …
