When I was a boy, my English teacher, Humphrey Twomey, taught us the value of critique. Read something. Don't rush to judgement but consider it from every angle. Each boy in the class was then allowed his own opinion. Whenever I encounter instant outrage here, I miss Mr. Twomey.

Happy days with Irish Motor-racing pioneer, Rosemary Smith, who passed away today aged 86. Here she is aged 80 at Mondello Park, when we staged a two car race. She came 1st, but I came a very creditable 2nd. She will remain an Irish rally legend forever. R.I.P. #RosemarySmith
