Grand Prix

Melissa Wilks: "It says Grand Pricks here..."

Any memorable races for you?

Had Melissa Wilkes was given this information in the first place, she would have just appeared on Our Show and not It'll be Alright on the Night II: In order to remember how GRAND PRIX is pronounced, one pronounces the A in GRAND like an "AR" in a southern-type accent, in the same way that BBC journalists pronounce GLASS, GRASS, and PAKISTAN to make the first syllable more politically correct and less racist - the D is silent. The I in PRIX is pronounced EE in the same way as to how European languages would pronounce similar words, and the X is silent just like the D in the first word. So GRAND PRIX is pronounced "GRARN PREE" [sic]. It's a wonder that Jackie Wright ever went out with ZAR-MO MAR-GUIRE [sic] in the first place - that is Jackie Wright of Grange Hill and not Benny Hill fame...

Anyway, didn't Mansell and Schumacher seem to go like a bat out of hell on the racing circuit back in the day? And Murray Walker doing the deeds on the microphone...

"that is Jackie Wright of Grange Hill and not Benny Hill fame". I doubt the male one would have been asked to do that lingerie spread for that men's magazine in 2003 like Melissa.

He could have become an incognito member of Hills' Angels, and I think that Benny would have done a lot more than touch him on the top of the head.

George, I really hated the student union at my university (i was a mature age student at the time) going off about Melissa (and women like her). Melissa did that spread of her own free will and she was undoubtedly paid a nice fee. You can't say that women should be free to choose what to do and then say only choices pre-approved by the kind of people that dominate university campuses (and activist groups) "count".

[George 1978]

People (and no doubt women) are entitled to choose what they want to do - it's a free country at the end of the day.

sorry. I get emotional

There was an episode of The Bill where they both appeared in the mid 1990s and shared a house - it made me wonder whether they were a real-life couple at that point?
