Victoria and I bumped into Gary Speed in Chester yesterday. I didn't notice but Victoria (who is Welsh) went weak at the knees (her actual phrase doesn't bear repetition on a family blog), but here's a picture of what you missed.
Meanwhile, the goverment's announced a plan to build such fabulously fast railways that domestic flights will wither away. They shouldn't exist on such a small island anyway. This is the first thing this government's done in ages that's purely, unambiguously brilliant - so obviously the lobbyists are out in force and it'll never happen. O'Leary of Ryanair called it 'insane', so it must be a good thing.

Ah Gary Speed, excellent player and a gentleman too. I recall meeting him in Yorkshire somewhere once, his accent was difficult to grasp. He has a bright future in the game as a coach.
I agree with your views on the rapid railway plans and I hope to God it happens, no more 4 hour journeys to York...
