(Xbox)Ahoy really is the proof that quality is much more valuable that quantity. I hate to think how many times i've watched all the videos on the Ahoy channel, and they'll never bore me.
Todays video is absolutely no different. Another masterclass in videomaking

Romain Grosjean survives a horrific 1st lap crash at the Bahrain GP.
The Frenchman's Haas splitting in two & catching fire. The halo crash-protection system almost certainly saving Grosjean's life. He escaped with second degree burns to his hands.

remember all those complaints about "unelected officials" making all the decisions in the EU?
is that better or worse than elected officials not bothering to make decisions and simply chose to line their own coffers?

Nigel Farage has barely bothered to vote in Parliament.
It’s not just the smoking ban. Of 48 votes this Parliament, he’s skipped 32 – including some of the most important ones.

John Prescott has died. He was always so kind and generous to me, a child being dragged around to various political events when I was growing up.
A true socialist, a real politician who spoke from experience rather than party bias.
Also, he once pinched a guy whilst on the campaign trail.
