Worth reading last months interview of Marco in Bike magazine - a true racer, character and all round good guy. Gp won't be the same.

I wonder if Vale will race his last race in the final round.

JJJ is _the_ funniest thing on the Internet as far as I'm concerned but I've lost count of number of people who just give me stony look when I play it for them.

RIP Jimmy.

Errr, no, not by a long stretch.

Quote
The world's first radio disc jockey was Ray Newby, of Stockton, California. In 1909, at 16 years of age, Newby began regularly playing records on a small spark transmitter while a student at Herrold College of Engineering and Wireless, located in San Jose, California, under the authority of radio pioneer Charles "Doc" Herrold.

Didn't invent the disco, or something. I had heard he the first bloke to show up with a box of records rather than a band. Could be a load of bollocks though.

Sir Jim was allegedly the first DJ, as in a chancer with two turntables and a microphone. As opposed to the modern usage of the term, which describes a chancer with a Macbook, a few boxes of electronic gubbins and no discs. So just a jockey, then?

That second piece by Louis Theroux. Wow. Subtle, clever, relentless needle. Very revealing. Not an equal contest by a mile.

A bit of an eccentric, I'm sure the charities he helped will miss his contributions.
