After all the OTT hoo-hah about alcoholic wife-beater and sometime Dunstable Town stalwart George Best finally carking it in the press over the past few days, the few seconds given to the untimely death of world champion rally driver Richard Burns on the BBC news yesterday was a bit rubbish, really. (Although maybe it’s just as well; it’s always kind of frightening to think of that sort of thing happening to somebody the same age as you.)
