I'm stuck in Austin Texas, in 100F+ heat, having to get up at 4.30am to get the old coal fired computer fired up, and listen to Manx Radio TT -  turn the volume up, and go back to bed and listen in! Yes - yes, the "Certainly" comment has got out of hand, and maybe someone should actually mention it to him?
Still, being many thousands of miles away - yet feeling I'm there, watching Live Timing - and hearing commentary (even if it's perhaps not the best!) is a blessing. When I think back to the 'dark years' - when, unless there was a tragedy that became Worldwide news - I had to wait weeks, to get my MCN mailed to me, to read the news.
I've not missed anything this year - and as news of Dan's (RIP) tragedy was 'unfolding', after the red flag, was PM'ing on Facebook with a close friend in Jurby - when he pointed out who had not made it to Ramsey. We feared the worse - and of course, knew it was Dan. More 'wonders of modern science' again.
Things are happening so fast these days (with the sub 17m laps etc) that it's enough to make anyone's head spin, and bless old Roy for at least trying to keep up with the times.
In all - I'm chuffed to hear as much as we've got. Sure, I do sort of miss Peter Kneale/Geoff Cannell - but think the current crew are CERTAINLY doing a pretty good job! Roll on Friday, and let's see if every race  breaks at least one record. What an amazing year it's been --- so far!
