It’s been all over the papers that a postal worker from East Kilbride scooped the massive £35million jackpot in the Euro Millions draw last weekend.

Angela Kelly was the lucky woman, and I’m pretty glad she won - not that I know her, but having seen her press conference she seemed a nice, down to earth type.  The lottery people obviously can’t pick what type of person wins their big prizes (or can they…?), but hopefully more decent, hard-working people like her will win.

There was wall-to-wall coverage of the story as she was Britain’s biggest ever winner of the lottery, so I can understand why she was splashed over all the papers.

F1 Racing magazine points out this ad on YouTube which features ex-McLaren drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen, which I thought was quite good…

When I was younger, so much younger than today (I probably owe Paul McCartney a fiver just for writing that!) I was quite interested in photography.  I went to nightclasses and everything!

I can’t remember why I got started with it, but I used to go out and about with my camera taking pictures then head home and develop them in the darkroom that was rigged up in the spare room.  The place stank to the heavens of developing fluid, but the pictures were normally okay so worth the effort.

Over the years there has been many an advert made which has highlighted the association between a sports star and a product - as usual some good and some bad.  In the main I think it can be good to see a different side to people, get to know a bit more about their personality - assuming they have one…

The most recent batch of adverts to hit our screens in Britain feature the media’s darling, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, and again some are good….

…and some are bad…

I watch the news most days, but generally speaking that’s all I do - watch.  It rarely makes me want to do anything, or even makes me think overly much, although obviously some of the items are so incredibly powerful that you can’t help but be affected.

Nine times out of ten though, what I see doesn’t alter my thoughts at all (if I’ve even got any on that subject!), if something is so terrible or important that it’s made it onto the news then my thoughts on the matter aren’t going to make much difference - or that’s how I think anyway.
