YET MORE - If you read this correctly you will either be offended or you won't by this statement -

The most inconsiderate drivers in Britain drive German cars.

I don't make this claim lightly, I have been driving 45 years, on/in 2, 4 and 6 wheeled vehicles, I have driven for a living, I have been a motorcycling instructor, I have driven well over 500,000 (that's half a million !) miles so I believe my experience in not insignificant. (NOTE: I have not been a TAXI DRIVER !!!, I don't know how to spell the noises I am making... )

I could go on, and on, and on...

Boris Johnson said ' they should crawl back under the stone from which they came'...

S' funny isn't it how some people get rightly vilified for racist abuse and others get away with it, Mr. Johnson...

Michael, I make no apology for turning your venue political but I am now of an age where I am confident to say what I think and sod those who disagree. I will argue with anyone.

As for Branson, Musk, Bezos and space, don't get me started.

Just read your email.

It seems that you are taking everything as a personal attack.

It isn't.

Sometimes SHIT HAPPENS !

You should know that this is just a losing streak, stick to the plan and the winners will come back.

Influence what you can and accept that there is some stuff that you can't control.

Delegate.

Ignore the children when they call sometimes, you have times throughout the day to indulge them and you have to have 'grown up' time.

Good that you are GOING TO exercise, make time.

Learn to play a wind instrument, it will help you breathe !

A bit of pedantry here. 'getting rid of the shit that holds me up' can be read more ways than one. Getting rid of the shit that holds me back is clearer.

Michael, learn to meditate (if you don't already). I know it sounds all cheesecloth and sandals but if you met me you would see that I'm not a hippy or a hipster and it helps me.
