Re: Hello from the South Wales Valley's

That's another problem with football, the tribalism. It's not for me. I was offered a job, when I was 17 (1977) by an Italian, living in Magny Cours in France. He had a small factory making F2 and F3 cars. He was Tico Martini, and 77 was his first year in F1. His drivers were, if I rememver correctl...

I've been working on this thing code for over 25 years and few lines have not been refactored in this time, bu...
