Since this blog started, it has carried a banner at the bottom of the main page offering support of the Bring Madeleine Home campaign - something which features on many blogs and forums.

I presume this was setup by someone close to the family in the hope that it would bring the matter to the attention of more people across the globe and would result in the McCann’s young daughter being found safe and well.

It’s been 4 months since little Madeleine McCann went missing while on holiday with her family in Portugal, and I can’t begin to imagine what her family have been through over the past few months, with being formally identified as suspects over the weekend making it even worse.

Since this step was taken, TV programmes, newspapers and radio have all been inundated by people offering support for the parents claiming that they definitely had no part to play in the disappearance of their little girl.  This is annoying as these people don’t know the McCanns any more than I do, they simply think they know them as they have been on their TV screens and in their papers every day for the past 4 months.

I make no secret of the fact that I have been a fan of David Coulthard since he entered F1 in 1994.

DC grew up in south-west Scotland like myself, so the fact that a local boy had made it to the very top of his chosen profession - coupled with the fact that this profession happened to be my favourite sport and was televised every other week made it all the easier for me to follow and support him through his career.

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…
