It's cool, but something that jarred me a little, was "the nursing home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, where she has lived since 1983" FFS 26 years in a nursing home, before this? Doesn't seem right somehow, or maybe just a damn good nursing home!

Yes, but that would mean she moved there when she was 81. Plenty of people younger than that in nursing homes, lol

Rod will set a new world record, first 100 year old to do 250mph in a cossie!! Id like to think cossies will still be going strong in well over 30 years.

wasn't having a dig mate.

Who said anything about us young uns knowing it all

Please dont take this the wrong way but stop threatening to 'leave the rs scene' again... either do it or stay here and put up with a bit of banter and piss taking.

By achieving what you've achieved youre thrust into the limelight wether you want to be or not, this makes you well known and possibly a bit of a target every now n again, its just the way it is. And to be perfectly honest at times in a fair few threads you havent done a lot to help yourself with regards to your online persona... the way you're perceived on here obviously stems from those occasions, as the vast majority of people on here dont know you from Adam.

PS relax man... i was only having a laugh
