ID:	497707bit of debauchery — mince pies and aged port —- didn’t help matters . Every so often the old. English complaint called GOUT rears its ugly head . I have had it in the trotters for years—- but a little white tablet a day generally keeps it “manageable”. But the left hand invader is a stone bitch. Been coming for the last week or so. Now it’s here and I’m laid low. A sad case of non productivitious. Damned i pad will be working overtime ——as i use the right forefinger to punch out messages and listing stuff on the market place—-keeping the wolf from the door —food on the table and soap in the sink, so to speak . You know the sort of thing i mean.

    Mike ward has taken 30 years to compile a history of almost all powerboating results —for every class in GREAT BRITAIN and EUROPE. There are 3 volumes. Unfortunately i only received 2 0f the copies as two were alike .
    Wonderful historical references. But just the results. Thousands of pictures——some quite rare.
    But JUST THE FACTS—- At £55 it’s not an expensive publication— and very informative.
    So why do i feel disappointed??????? Mike has been around almost as long as i have——knew almost as many of the participants as i do/did . Can’t fault the publication ——— except it doesn’t have a heart and soul somehow. All you have to do is look at the characters and realise ——they are all in there—- an almost perfect reference library without feeling ??????
    I somehow feel that my own efforts at narrating a few maritime tales are not a waste of time any more. HAVENT touched the book this year— too many other things going on in what’s left of my life .
    I will be doing a LASSE ——- lots of great boating piccies . But i will ask Mike Ward if its ok to use them. All the Bristol races are featured as well as the European events .
    a hell of a lot of Americans took part in Europe—— they are all featured —— great reference to have on the shelf. THE “SEARACE” OF THE CIRCUIT RACING .!!!!!!

    Last visit to the Southampton boat show —some five years ago— time flies when you’re having fun.
