Had a great week off. Nice to regroup and refresh for the next run of The Big Show. Can't wait to be back on at 1pm today. Why not join me?

Last Sunday, I went along to Silverstone to look after the final winners on our World Cup Weekenders competition. What a weekend they had. T in The Park on the Saturday, and then the British Grand Prix on Sunday. Booby prize was that they had to spend the day with me. Love a bit of motorsport so this was a great day. I even got a trip round the circuit in a golf buggy. Incredible:

The character in the back is my dad. Good old Alan.

Saw this at the end of the race too and it made me chuckle. Jenson Button gets the bus home afterwards:

Although it was a lovely week, I was hit with a really horrible sickness bug so was confined to my bed and the bathroom for a couple of days. Put a bit of a dampener on things. Then my girlfriend caught it the next day. Those sort of things bring you closer together I think! Gross.

On the one day where we were both in full health, we took to the high seas:

That, in a nutshell, was my week.

Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington will be on the show today from 1:30pm. Lovely!
