Verse:
Come closer let me show you how it works,
Come on and hurry up but don't get nervous,
I will not charge you up, and consider it a free service,
look closely because this is what they call it skill,
Pure talent I never asked to pay bills,
We started from the bottom, and now we are up the hill,
I don't begin with a scratch, all I do is build,
Look again, you will see my home address,
Talent Street, Bldg. 96 Full blessed,
Wasn't born with and it didn't come with a package of success,
Don't be tried to say what you want to express,
Many things in my life will make sleep depressed,
But I am still standing here cashing checks,
It's always a good day out watching the coaches arrive at Wembley, especially when the less regular teams from outside the London area play.
If you haven't been since Covid then you'll be in for a shock! The new Pink and Green dedicated coach parks are almost entirely undercover which makes photography a challenge. Nevertheless, decent shots can still be obtained with good planning.
Here's a reminder of some of the visitors to Wembley Stadium seen in 2022.
Very very cool ;-) You guys put this kid and his bike and his skills into EXPLORE :-) Thank you :-)

AND THEY'RE OFF!! Day 1 at Royal Ascot today (Tuesday 17th June 2025) and I popped over to see what was occurring. It's a local event for me so I went over to suss it all out ahead of the big one - Ladies Day on Thursday, which is always the busiest day for coaches (followed by Saturday). So although today was one of the quieter days of the 5-day festival, a respectable 60 coaches turned up. And the weather was gorgeous!

Here’s the same location at Chilwell Olympia again, just stood at the roadside rather than on the bridge. On this occasion I’d gone for the CT4N Omnidekka again and missed it, but as a consolation I got a Levante in Skills livery, which I’d only previously seen as a National Express.

The intention of the day wasn’t to go finding different coaches belonging to Skills, yet I came away with three! They were all different types and all different colours too; when I was at the A52 in Bramcote executive black liveried SIL 7948 came by, apparently off to the Cavern Club, Liverpool and Mersey Ferry?!

Royal Ascot 2019
Back to June 2019 and Royal Ascot week which saw many visiting coaches including Skills of Nottingham Scania K360IB4 / Irizar Century C51FT YN15ENC.
Mark’s pipetting skills are through the roof! Well not literally. It’s crazy how being an astronaut makes you learn and do so many different things. Mark was working on NASA's Celestial immunity experiment, that requires astronauts to be adept at the laboratory skills... in microgravity! The experiment designers do everything they can to make it as easy as possible as we are not experienced lab workers, but we do what is required, and this is why we spend so much time training for our flights.
Les compétences de Mark avec une pipette sont impressionnantes. Je suis toujours étonné de voir la quantité de choses qu'on apprend à faire quand on devient astronaute : de nouvelles langues, de la mécanique, des techniques de laboratoire, comment utiliser un appareil photo, à piloter des vaisseaux spatiaux, à lancer des nanosatellites... mais ça explique pourquoi notre formation est si longue !
