Yawn.
Cant beleive they made her a dame. Do they give these things away with kinder eggs now?
Ok so shes the fastest around the world. Big deal. Shes not the first. And most of it is down to her high tech boat.
Fed up of hearing about it. Sir Francis Chichester did this 38 years ago in a shitty little boat. He was 65 years old, suffering from cancer and navigated via a sextant. Robin Knox-Johnstone was the first person to do it non stop and also used a sextant and was out of radio contact for 8 months. To me thats an achievemnt. If something went wrong in those days they were basically dead. Ellen just gets on te web cam and some fat bloke in a chopper comes and lifts her lazy ass off the deck. Not really that dangerous IMO.

Bit out of order. I would have a word with one of the directors and ask how he would feel about a police investigation of assault?
