Financial Maturity

Firstly, if you don’t have a TV on July 11th 2010 and you are a sports fan, then fake an injury and get into a decent hospital ward or get yourself into a pub with a TV, can I suggest my favorite second home The Boer and Brit at the Alphen Hotel, it has two screens! Yes, on that day we have (I can hardly contain myself) the British Grand Prix and the World Cup Soccer Final…… Wow!

Financial Maturity

Yes sport and money are very similar.  You are up, you are down, you are flush and then you’re either flat broke or broken!  One minute you are hailed a star, then you are old news, suddenly you’re back again with all things forgiven, just ask Dave Beckham and Lindsay Williams, he was the Summit TV front man banished for being competent and is now back with that excellent Warwick Market Report on FMR 101.3 and www.bizcast.co.za – a bigger come back than Lazarus, well done son!

When I was a boy

When I was a boy my entire bedroom was covered in pages from the MCN (Motor Cycle News) and posters of the latest motor bikes.  I went to my aunts every year, in the August School Holidays, to watch the Isle of Man GP races.  The GP is the lesser known series for amateur boys, those looking to become qualified for the world famous TT races, reserved for the professionals and seriously insane, that takes place every June.  I had to bunk school to get to those races, but don’t tell my Mum she thought I was at school camp!
