Horrendously BAD

I know, its been ages, probs over a month since ive "blogged" (I blame going on holiday, meant that I wasnt in the familiarity to be doing things regularly, and when I think about who i met and the majority of the content of the blog, its UNFORGIVABLE)

So here goes, as you can see from below Ive been reading Clarkson books and rather enjoying them. Jezza has a house, a lighthouse to be more precise, in Langness on the Isle of Man, and some cottages on the 1.4 acre land that he ownes. Its been on the TV when some car or other was tested on the Island for Top Gear and the guys stayed there. (www.bbc.co.uk/topgear) has a clip of the story on there somewhere thats how I found it.
Well at the start of the month (and yes this is the end of the month now) I went out to the island to stay with family for a week, and help to do some decorating. The day that i flew home, 10.50 flight, we had nearly got everything sorted, just some furniture to move.... well a pair of sofas to take on a 500 yard trek from one house to a different one. So with about an hr and a half to take off I was carrying sofas around the streets of Port St. Mary.

Slightly tired from the night before and the sofa lugging, we got to the airport and I checked in luggage etc and went straight to departures, and then to the departure loung. Nothing exciting a shop lots of windows, a touch screen thingy with property for sale, (All expensive as IOM is nearly a tax haven). Did I notice anything? NO

Got on the plane found my seat, started to listen to some music on the old iPod and all was good. Hour and a bit later then expected landed back at Gatwick got off the plane, walked miles and found that I had missed a call from work already, so called them back on Sat morning and found that all was well and got to baggage claim.

Spent a good 15 mins sat on my trolley waiting for the luggage looking at the other people waiting without noticing anything. It wasnt untill I had my bags and met up with my lift home that they said, "Do you know who you have been staring blankly at for the last 15 mins?" to which I replied "no?" Well Jeremy Clarkson is just on your right, that man with the Audi board says Clarkson on it.

Low and behold he was stood right in front of me, and Mr Audi had brought a nice A4 for Jezza to either take for a test drive, or just one of his cars. I have since worked out that he was flying over to do the filming for the Comic Relief Top Gear does Top of The Pops, which was a little disspointing, but I guess you dont get Peterol Heads to do a teen girls P-J party show do you. However JC is a rather good drummer!!!

Heres the Audi....



And heres the man himself (pls dont forget that furniture removals had been taking place, hense the shaking hands, but i assure you, this is JC himself, AND HES A GIANT)
