This Month We’d Like To Thank…
Super-God Johnny Depp
I would like to declare my unabated adulation of the supreme super-god Mister Johnny Depp for being the best bit of eye candy the universe has spawned. Ever. I want to thank his mother and his father for getting it on and his first wife Lori for introducing him to Nicholas Cage. A huge thanks to Wes Craven for letting Johnny star (albeit for a brief moment of bloody massacre) in A Nightmare On Elm Street… thus setting the first brick in the veritable yellow brick road of the Johnny’s career.
Without all these people, the silver screen would not be adorned with the scrumptious munchkin even men love. However, I would like to give a little happy slap to those late arrivals that have jumped on the Jack Sparrow band wagon. Yes, it is the most gorgeous incarnation yet of mister Depp, and a character most closely reflective of his inner personality (because, yes, I would know). However, as a devotee of the J.O.H.N.N.Y. fan club since his days on 21 Jump Street back in 1987, I can quite honestly declare that he makes my very being swoon as Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, Gilbert Grape, Ichabod Crane and even Hunter S Thompson.
Among his many supporters I would like to praise the creator of a tribute song on you tube called simply The Johnny Depp Song. This shows dedication and devotion beyond most fan’s capabilities, and is clearly a person I am going to have to watch out for in my quest to make Depp my man.

Last Month We Thanked…
Lewis Hamilton World Champion
Here at Your Life we would like to put forward our thanks and more importantly our congratulations for racing sensation Lewis Hamilton. Yesterday in one of the most exciting and tumultuous final races of an F1 season ever, the McLaren racer managed to secure the Formula 1 world driver’s championship. Throughout the season Hamilton has put in astonishing performances revealing the youngster’s true grit and determination, not to mention his unbelievable skill and ability in a racing car. While yesterday we saw a subdued Hamilton, confined by the necessity to drive to a conservative strategy, the Brazilian GP was not indicative of the season as a whole.
This year Hamilton has ticked off three of the biggest challenges for any racing driver, he won at Monaco, won his home GP at Silverstone and has wrapped up the championship with a point to spare. These feats are made that much more considering that Lewis is only 23, the youngest driver ever to take the championship.
That is not to say that Hamilton’s season has been an easy ride, at every stage the young Brit has not only had to battle the other drivers on the racetrack but also the sport’s ruling body. The fact that the championship came down to the last race of the season left many commentators to believe that the situation had been engineered. Naturally such an opinion is just that; conjecture, although if true reveals exactly how impressive Hamilton’s victory really is.
All we can say at Your Life is thank you Lewis Hamilton for a sublimely entertaining season. We have enjoyed every moment of it and look forward to March next year and the first race of 2009. Good luck Lewis, show them all once again that you are the greatest driver of your generation.

Jeremy Clarkson Future Prime minister
Jeremy Clarkson, the motor head himself, said to love cars so much he has petrol running through his veins! He is also quoted saying that “So it depends on whether or not you want a good car, or a French car!” as well as “On a recent drive across Europe I desperately wanted to reach the top speed but I ran out of road when the needle hit 240mph”.
Your Life would like to ask the question; What would this country be like with someone like Jezza as Prime Minister? Well for a start we already know that owning a French car would be an arrestable offense! Fuel prices would be cut, and speed cameras banned. The British Army’s tanks would be replaced by Bugatti’s with Rocket Launchers attached to the roof!
Will it ever happen? Will Clarkson ever consider giving up the font seat of a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren for Parliament? That we will never know, but one thing Your Life would like to do for the man himself. We thank you for every Top Gear action packed slice of entertainment, for every race across Europe, for sticking it to the man in charge of Speed Cameras. Jeremy Clarkson We Salute You!
In The Past We Have Thanked…
Louis Smith Olympic Champion
Not being an avid follower of Gymnastics or an expert on the sport I was stunned and surprised to hear that at last after 80 years of trying Team GB had finally won an Olympic Medal in the gymnastics. This tremendous achievement was produced by the 19 year old Peterborough based Louis Smith who won a bronze medal in the pommel horse event. Your Life would like to thank Louis for achieving this fantastic feat.
I think it is fair to say that although many of us do not watch much gymnastics we cannot fail to admire and recognise the intensity, ability and agility of the athletes that represent the sport.
When put into context this achievement is even more extraordinary when we consider the lack funding that has been made available to the sport compared to many other higher profile sports. Credit must also go the Huntingdon based gym that has produced Louis.
We all at your life wish and hope that next time in London 2008 we will all be singing God Save the Queen as Louis picks up a gold medal.

Alessandra Ambrosio’s Personal Trainer!
I humbly introduce you to 27 year old Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. She is quoted as saying that she loves surfing, drinking caipirinha and seeing bands. She also confesses to eating chocolates every day; a crime she works off through regular training sessions with her personal trainer who advocates the Brazilian Butt Lift. The Brazilian Butt Lift draws upon a mixture of aerobics and samba and I think it is clear to see that the results are spectacular. Thankyou Mr Brazilian Butt Lift Training inventor – we salute you!
