Even when i worked away and was only home at the weekends i never dreamt of selling up, its something i look forward too for the weekend. Now i work fairly local (i can go home at night) i still bang in 50 hours from monday to friday.

Right now i would rather halve my wage and be at home and not feel guilty about going away at the weekends. That way her indoors doesn`t moan either.
If i was still racing on road i think i would be doing very little racing though. Just cos its GAY
