Hey guys, after subbing in yesterday it’s time for my proper Daily today. And how are we all? Have you ever felt like writing a Daily Post for Sidepodcast? You have? Well you are in luck, because some spaces have opened up. Why not check out this post, which should tell you all that you need to know…
My, the Turkish Grand Prix was a corker wasn’t it? There was loads of overtaking, with many conclusions to be made… Some might say that it’s F1 – but not as we know it! There was plenty of things worth drawing a picture about and with drivers like Kobayashi starting in last place and finishing tenth, some drivers think it is the end of qualifying.
Michael Schumacher had a poor race, which he didn’t enjoy very much. There have been some people in the paddock pondering about his future in the sport, but he does have the full support of the Mercedes board. Which means if he was a football manager he’d be a week away from getting the sack…
Nico Rosberg has been up to lots this week, showing RTL how his seating position looks in his car, starting a video blog and earning himself and his team lots of points in Christine’s Rankings this week.
Apparently Robert is getting better. Yay! I’ll bet Eric thinks he is the Pineapple of F1 drivers, eh? Speaking of finding the Pineapple of drivers, Crofty has been hooning around Brands Hatch helping find a winner in the GT5 Academy. Apparently he was 4th out of 9 media guys – well done mate!
It’s also time for the final of another F1 talent search – the WTF1’s Got Talent final. Honestly, how could you not vote for Eddie there?
Also looking for talent is screenwriter Peter Morgan, who wants to make a film about Niki Lauda and the 1976 F1 season. Oh yes please! Although, I think make-up in the film industry is a lot more realistic these days Niki…
How about another glimpse at the old days – in the comments someone linked to an old Kart race in Paris at the end of the 1993 season that I remember watching as a kid – the battle between Senna and Prost is so good!
A few more links to finish off…
Leigh has been writing about GP3, which looked like it has some crazy carnage in their races. The cars still sound awful though!
Here’s a funny cartoon about Portaloos – I’m not sure I want to know how they work, mind you…
Springfield Punx drew the Silence, which looks just as creepy as they did on TV.
Dale Jr. got to play iRacing on the world’s largest TV screen – lucky so and so!
Finally Microsoft have bought Skype – quite whether this is a good or a bad thing I don’t know, but I do hope it doesn’t mean more bloatware!
That’s all from me – I will be in a seminar the next couple of days so I’ll only be able to check in during the evenings. Have fun and see you in the comments!
Hello Wednesday
Comments, I need your help. I am being asked to submit an e signature on a pdf document so I can submit a demo voice over audition and I have no idea how to do that.
Can anyone help, like now-ish???? :s
Ping - game scores (at last)
http://toomuchracing.com/2011/05/11/tmr-game-2011-week-16/
Does your printer scan also?
Not sure.. do you have to scan in a signature and insert it somewhere in the file?
no.
I assume so, but I don't have a scanned copy of my signature....but there's an app for that, apparently...
err, tricky one that. you got any more info? this might be a place to start: http://www.echosign.com/
he does have the full support of the Mercedes board. Which means if he was a football manager he’d be a week away from getting the sack…
hehehehehe!!!
What more info can I add?
I found this which has different ways of doing it but it all seems quite time consuming
http://www.labnol.org/software/sign-pdf-documents/9333/
what are they expecting? there's a few standards and various ways of doing it, what are they accepting?
So you have no access to a scanner, for either driving licence or a blankness paper with a signature.
Take a photo, upload to Mac. Use the Grab application in Utilities folder [within Applications] and attach?
Thanks, Pat. I found that before and am reading it now.
don't they have something built into their pdf document?
She sent me a pdf file of a standard non-disclosure agreement and she'd like me to e-sign it because her fax machine didn't work or something. I already ran out to fax it especially. I just don't know how to get my signature onto that pdf doc.
embedded, that would be the word (need sleep)
Ask her
that would be awesome. Where do I look and what do I do? I'll happily do it. :)
You should be able to fax it to an e-mail address then e-mail it from there
She can't get her faxes due to a tech issue and the tech guys have gone home. :(
I think that is the answer. Ask her what she really wants. She must have this done a dozen times a day so she should know how to do it easily
From a fax machine to her email address
are you using adobe reader?
I will just ask her. I have no clue. No use stressing, I'll just cop to it. :)
Thank you for being here!
And remind her to get her fax machine repaired or replaced
:)
It is usually the best way.
Adobe Reader

If the pdf is setup as a form, it should be esignable
Yes.
...and I think I JUST FIGURED IT OUT! :D
No kidding! :)
Oh, the Daily just reminded me, I let my daughter watch Dr Who for the first time this weekend
She won't stop pestering me for Dr Who now

Result
I loved the Senna-Prost karting. The end of season Bercy event wasalways fabulous but that year the build up was incredible because Prost and Senna were going to race each other.
Senna is in a white kart by the way because it was an Elf sponsored event and he was sponsored by Shell I think.
I heard Kimi was going to do it this year (along with every other motorsport race taking place outside of F1)
I didn't know they still did it
it's being brought back as an electric kart event
they're trying to persuade hamilton, alonso and vettel
karun mentioned it on twitter
That would be great to see.

Rubens is not at all happy about the Monaco DRS situation
I know this is being simplistic but if the drivers feel it is not safe to use DRS in practice or quali, in the tunnel for example, then how about they use it with caution
Easier said than done, I know
They are racing drivers. Simple as that.
The trouble is one driver may be sensible but another may take a stupid risk and cause an accident. I thought the DRS zone was the 'straight' at the start/finish line
It is but in FP & Quali...
I hadn't thought about that. Imagine the run down from Casino Square to Mirabeau with the DRS down while avoiding that huge bump
We're gonna need a bigger broom
Love this R2D2 instagram pic

Night folks
Night Mav
Night Sir
Didn't realise Lou was still up
LOU!!! I just tweeted you
Today's tech rumour is they overbid slightly:
“According to a source who claims knowledge of talks held between all parties, Google came in second at a price of $4B, while Microsoft will be paying $8.5B.”If even out by some margin, it is funny :D
just finishing essay (ergh)
internet is playing up, i haven't got anything?
Do you have an iPod Touch?
If so, you NEED Instagram
i have a 2Gen ipod touch. no camera for me. My friend has instagram on her iphone 4 and it looks amazing!
You can still view - must have. Very inspiring

my ipod can only access the internet when i'm at home, but will certainly download when i can.
awwww danbo! :) thank you!!
Uni WiFi?
we only get one log in, and i use that for my mac. it's ridiculous, but only a few more weeks of uni housing to put up with. instagram needs an andriod app.
True
Tell them: [email protected]
i'll add it to my list.
in the meantime. sleep for me.

Is it just me that wants Lewis to stop thanking his followers on Twitter and actually engage with folk, maybe?
Thanks so much for the help before, everyone. I sent the pdf and I haven't heard back yet. Too bad, I wanted to get the audition done tonight. Oh well. I'll do it tomorrow. I hope they can wait until I get out of work.
Signatures are so, 20th century
:)
And here I was all ready, with my ink well and feather.
I suppose that's a 'quill'. God, I'm so worn out.
:D
@adamisacson
The only upside to Microsoft buying Skype is that the animated paperclip will speak in a British-lady voice before your computer freezes up:lol:
Must sleep. Good night.

morning everybody
I used it for a little while earlier in the year.
It was kinda fun, but has a whole unnesecary social network plugged into it which makes it a bit clumsy and awkward.
A bit like foresquare, great idea to plug into social networks, but far too limited in its application to try and build its on.
Good morning
morning nick
I see Paul Tracy has gone and announced his retirement... for the end of 2012
http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5juCQcNlKKbmqFg6Q6sQQ9aWR4MjQ?docId=6812661
I thought he already was retired!
New indycar looks a lot more modern than the old one! http://www.autosport.com/gallery/index.php/id/2414
Bare in minds, it's only a concept or a potential car. The first true glimpse of what will be on track next season will be at the pre-season test next February / March
He's been doing part-time schedules for the last couple of seasons because Gerald Forsythe refused to bring his team to the the IRL in 2008 - otherwise he most likely would have been full time for the last few years
As long as it looks more modern than this http://www.singaporegrandprixf1.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Camel-V12-F1-car-520x232.jpg
:D
It'll be interesting to see what aero kits Chevrolet and Lotus come up with... It was rumoured for a while that Boeing were also considering doing a kit for the series, but I've no idea how much truth there was to that
Sounds like Sato announcing he will retire from F1 at the end of 2012 ;)
If only super aguri...
:)
Italian story on the sutil-lux incident in china.
http://www.422race.com/2011/esclusivo-rissa-in-cina-tra-sutil-e-un-boss-renault/
The quotes would seem to indicate it did happen
I should highlight that i did that in true GMM Style with google translate
his neck was bleeding? what did he do, glass him?
Today I am at a port. Pondering if I should try and stow away somewhere.
Are you going to a starboard tomorrow? :)
He cant have done that much if Lux turned up in turkey.
Sutill does strike me as a bit of a kung fu fighter though
Pluggety plug plug:
Mercedes and Schumacher
Either someone has a seriously powerful imagination or we missed some really strange stuff in Turkey...
He's not going to replace Narain at Hispania next year by any chance?
I have a horrible feeling there will be an (inadvertant) repeat of Michael's red-flag-triggering crash in 2006...
Do you have a device with a stylus? I always use my PDA, link it to my computer to get my signature in and then embed in the PDF file.
You could drink some port?
Afternoon
Someone has done a quite respectable cover version of the Angry Birds theme

These guys are keen on their covers, ever heard Beat It on a toy piano? You should

I love tennis when Nadal gets pushed on clay by someone I've never heard of
So d'Ambrosio may be out of Virgin soon...?
ya know... with all the passing and craziness because of the tires and DRS, I don't think I've heard thing one about Virgin during the races this year. Only reason I ever heard anything about HRT was because of the 107% rule.
Turkey was so nuts I didn't even know that Kobayashi had a puncture!
He's not been doing badly, but there are rumoured sponsor non-payments. Robert Wickens is being lined-up as a replacement - apparently
ahh, so that's why I'm hearing all this talk of a Canadian back in F1. Was wondering where it came from. I'd rather have an American back in F1, of course, but Canada is our little hat so it's pretty close. ;)
Naturally
:)
:)
Never heard it put like that before. Cute, unless you're Canadian. hehe
#nothere
Get back to work! (now I'm even talking to myself??)
Really? I though America was Canada's trousers.
;)
:D
:D
quote fail
YOU HAVE OFFENDED ME SIR! I AM OFFENDED! ;)
I can't remember who I heard this from, some comedian, but he was like "(some large percentage) of Canadians live in the border with the US. Folks, they're getting ready to invade us, eh!"
I was sooooo close though(t)...
;)
hehehee
i love the google homepage animation, and the process of doing it is soooo simple: http://www.google.co.uk/logos/2011/graham11-hp-sprite.png
expect lots of sites to copy this idea en-masse now.

Evening. Spent the day learning about realtime data management, mobile apps (including iPad stuff), database structures and efficient search methods today. So my head is full now!
Evening guys. I present you with a ping: http://summerportrait.wordpress.com/2011/05/11/tredegar-house/
looks like a lovely sketch to me ;)
Evening. That's brilliant. :)
This is well worth a read and perhaps Mr Giggles could drop it into the Daily?
Douglas Adams talking about the internet in 1999 - http://www.douglasadams.com/dna/19990901-00-a.html
It is eh.
I read that earlier and it's such a genius article. Can't believe he's been gone 10 years :(
awesome stuff. Spot on too.
WOW. I really wish I could do that
Great article and absolutely spot on. It seems odd reading that, that even in 1999 that attitude was still around. It all seems so long ago.
Evening folks,
A Super Extra Bonus WTH to this:
Good afternoon everyone :D

Evening peoples. I did not stow away in the end.
Hi Christine. How are things in Britain?
You may be interested in Alguersuari's latests tweets. He is narrating in live how his fight is being delayed because of fuel smell. According to him, there are some fire man in the plane. A little bit curious.
Curious? Sounds terrifying!
No, I am saying curious because things have gone well. I am not a sadistic ;)
Heya Christine. Hope your mini journeys away are going well!
mr C is doing a good job so far keeping everything selotaped together.
That's excellent, I never had any doubt. Eh-hem.
so this is new: http://chrome.angrybirds.com/
but pegging my cpu at 75-80 percent! ouch.
Don't worry about that odd electrical cracking noise. It's a new feature.
I'm getting 60-70% average. Yeesh.
It wastes masses of CPU as well as time? Goodness.
yeah, i've been very busy and not playing angry birds at all.
Imagine how my computer is, that I just can't open that webpage.
Did you stow away in the middle because it is wider and there is less chance you will be found?
hehe
:)
Here endeth any chance of getting anything done tonight
I was going to take over the world tonight and everything, bah.
Please note it is also LOUD
I have gone for the SD version
I love today's google animation: www.google.com
Very cool!
I always thought Angry Birds was a flying type game rather than just easily knocking things over
I went for SD & turned my speakers off. No issues CPU at 24%
Greece wants to build a new 100 milion F1 circuit.
I just can't believe it, but it seems it's true...
yeah, i was just trying it to see if i could say "isn't this great that they didn't need to use flash."
instead i came away thinking: "christ, flash woulda been a better choice."
hahaaa - with what?
where are they planning to get the money to pay for that? more EU handouts?
a lot of scalextric pieces?
Monopoly money must be widely accepted these days then I guess
We are going to need new championships.
Or if you are a cynic CVC are trying to bump the price up
With public money -> The rescue they recieved -> European money.
I just can't believe that.
Evening everyone :)
Evening :)
Hullo giggles
Quick question for Mr C... is there a good way to display pictures from things like Flickr, or twitpics etc for the daily?
By golly, I think I've got it.
They'll unknowingly knock down the Olympic buildings and then wipe any record of them from history and announce "hey, we have all this spare rubble and rock - enough to build a circuit" and then they'll finance the race by selling Germany.
Ta-daaaaa.
usually i download, edit and upload into wordpress.
Maybe HTML?
hehehe, listening to macbreak. they are talking about the skype merger and how bad skype is. conversation goes dead because skype dropped out.
Ah... Last time I had a problem with the upload process (and so stuck it on my own server). I shall try that... cheers.
loved that :)
The skype woman knows too much.
:D
I hope Mr C is not spending too much time talking to that homewrecker while Christine is away
have to talk to joe tonight... so... err...
oops.
She's got the Word paperclip on her side now and everything
You'll have to check the line... I mean nobody could complain about that... I mean it will only take a few hours ;)
preparation is everything.
I get that error...
oh ok... I could just put them on my server?
Usually I put them on tinypic or something and just grab the url. Havent had any issues yet :)
certainly, yup.
:D
And you can refer to them as an embedded picture?
It pops up and says you seem to be trying to make a phone call but it keeps dropping out. Have you tried.........
Shouting really loudly like Balmer?
When I embed a picture for a daily I use one of the imagey thingy codes down on the bottom right of the screen when you're writing a new post on there and just put the url where it needs to be no problemo, it embeds then.
I could live there. http://bit.ly/izDLdb
HD, 43%. And oh dear lord.
Are you anywhere near Lorca, Marti? Have heard there was an earthquake there in Spain not too long ago that's made a big of damage..
Fortunetly I live quite far away, near Barcelona.
I've heard it's been important, but here we didn't feel anything :|
Here is Spain and Lorca. I live in northeastern Spain.
*I had forgotten it. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorca
All embedding problems solved. Daily ready for action...
Catch you laters amigos!
It was a 5.3

Bye Alex
Umm... Mr C...
I uh...... Might have broken something...
I think I have accidentally published the daily, and then scheduled it, and that doesn't seem to be a problem for the realtime page... but the homepage seems a tad confused...
#sorrymrc
oops. is it finished?
yes...
cool. i shall fix.
you know you're not meant to break stuff while christine is away?
You can see my exciting teaser for the upcoming daily post:
#SorryMrC
#SorryMrsC
oooh, i like daily teasers!
Almost as good as malteasers
Time to leave.
Bye bye everyone ;)
Heeehehehe, now that I've finally got round to finding time to go through Gavin's many excellent links that Portal-loo joke is brilliant. Good old aperture science :D
See ya Marti
I linked to that one just because I knew you'd laugh!
May have to play Portal 2 for the 5th or 6th time now just because of that. Funniest game I've played in years :)
Bye Marti
OMG, want, need, must have....
the chromebook: http://searchengineland.com/google-chromebooks-out-june-15-349-for-consumers-20-28-for-educatorsbusiness-76826
I want one in tablet form too!
tell me why though? only the price is appealing.
You can play angry birds on it!
Does it only run a chrome browser? Not even any apps?
apps from the chrome browser store. and we just discussed how they perform.
is there a device in the world that you can't play angry birds on? gameboy maybe?
Give it time. I'm playing it in my mind right now
I guess im a bit of a chrome fanboy, but I love the way it works.
TBH 90% of my ipad use is in safari, and its a bit clunky with no tabs. (ok there are other browsers)
I just love the idea of switching from my work laptop (i use chrome as my personal browser) onto my home laptop and all my tbs beeing there. then going to bed and switching to a tablet and having all my tabs there again.
I for one would like to see a SNES Angry Birds
have you used one yet then?
or you mean the web browser?
It's the new Lemmings, or Tetris.
Although.. I haven't actually played it yet.
Ah I don't like the sound of that. I'm currently playing with Jolicloud (again)
it's free on the chrome store. just put your processor on ice.
I have used the browser a lot, ive looked over somones shoulder who had cr-48
got ya. if this is the future of computing, i'm getting a new career: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVqe8ieqz10
you must try it and tell us all about it :)
"Not even a desktop background"
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
I have 900 desktop pics on rotation. I ain't throwing those away!
I don't like the idea of storing everything in the cloud, not least of all handing over the rights to google.
Has you seen how easy planes go through clouds? Everything will break easy!
At least with Windows you expect it to break
"you are what they are selling"
i need that written on a wall somewhere.
Chrome Angry Birds completed
OOPS
There is a level 21 that wasn;t there before
Oh don't copy the smug and superior Apple-style marketing.
"Hey look, we've got this thing, nobody has thought of it before and it is really easy to use and I'm going to demonstrate it by being unbelievably patronising as if you are a simpleton."
I can kind of see that it would be good for a work laptop, keep everything 'in the cloud' for visiting clients/customers and so forth. I just can't see it for personal use.
:)
I realise that. And I don't mind them seeing what I search for or write in an email. But I refuse to upload my personal docs into the cloud.
On the plus side I really wanna throw one in a river now
I think you can have a chrome background
It's called Citrix.
:D
:)
Not nececarily the future of computing. one part of it though.
I would always want a hard computer alongside a cloud one, but i could see my dad being better off with a chromebook than with a laptop or a tablet
am pretty sure ubuntu tried to sell the netbook using the same sales pitch. it's now gathering dust in a cupboard.
i'd guess most people who don't need a whole computer will use an ipad. where's the advantage of a chromebook over a tablet?
You are always being sold though, whether its you using a road and passing billboards, shopping a a supermarket and getting a load of ads on your recipt, or listening to a radio ad
You can throw one in a river
hehe
apple and microsoft are not selling my data when i buy their desktop OS?
The keyboard. I use my ipad in bed, but doesnt really work propped up on the sofa when im watching tv
What about when you start using windows live and itunes?
i don't use windows live and itunes ping/genius are both disabled. not for any other reason than they aren't very good, mind you.
Also, Google dont really sell your data like facebook do (yet at least) I cant target anyone demographically in adwords, just by keyword.
the personal data may be used to serve the ads (&search results) which perfom best with your age group/gender. I'm not sure about that though.
they sell your data to themselves. and my google ads are becoming targeted to me. until i clear flash cookies (now a daily ritual).
Is that a bad thing? Id rather see ads for F1 deals than football matchday packages myself
i think it is. otherwise i wouldn't clear them!
worth adding that there's a good reason that sidepodcast doesn't have adverts. not that they don't make money, we just hate them that much.
I did get a bit annoyed when a vacuum cleaner ad kept following me around the web, but in general i figure if im going to see ads i would rather they were for something i like rather than a groupon ad trying to make me hungry!
Fair enough,
what about ads on f1 cars? :)
Does google think you suck?
regardless, google are still selling you and your data. that is there business plan. if you're cool with that, the laptop is a bargain.
hehe, no i visited there site and got re-targeted.
I already use g-mail and google reader.
do you think using a chrome laptop that different to having an android phone?
i don't have an android phone ;)
i do however have a lovely desktop os. which seems far more capable than googles.
hehe, in general though. surely that has way more data than a thin cloudbook?

What's this argument Sutton images are making about a hyperlink to an image?
Starts here with a ScarbsF1 tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/ScarbsF1/status/68069849372434433
Main part of the conversation is here though: http://twitter.com/#!/suttonimages/status/68394654357401600
wow! two Christmases at once!
F1.com using Sutton images without credit
I think they have been outwitted by the internet circa 1999 and are kicking up a fuss.
They should really watermark their images, if they are that worried
The credit will probably be on the page, rather than watermarked into the image
No, it's that Scarbs linked to the direct image rather than the f1.com page. Sutton says that is reproducing or using the content without their or f1.com's permission.
isn't it scarbs using sutton images without credit - by linking direct to the image in a tweet rather than the f1.com page it is on?
It at the bottom of the gallery here http://www.formula1.com/gallery/race/2011/850/
and also the lightbox which opens
Yes, it's that. So is hyperlinking to an image reproduction without permission then?
Its the only way you can link to an individual image there though which is a bit silly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_linking
If he embeded it in his site it would be, posting a link to it is a bit of a strech imho
I didn;t think of that
I see.
Bit off topic, AND will assume this has been mentioned before, but anyone seen the new Voda McLaren iPhone app? Since someone was asking about more data before... seems that during sessions you can dig down deeper with Lewis and Jenson's data - Not as nice as the other F1 GUI apps out there - but thought it made a good addition to the iPhone data arsenal :)
http://cl.ly/0r2u3K1J2b1k2r3C143u
Ahhh - seems I have the 2010 version :( New one just out 6 May :)
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vodafone-mclaren-mercedes/id435094618?mt=8
Probably would be better a- if f1.com let you link to an image on a page rather than either the gallery or right to the image.
scarbs linked to the image on suttons site if possible.
i think having to buy an image you just want to link to is taking things quite a long way
he's still benefiting from the image, and no credit has been given
This pretty much sums it up:
@rachelclarkef1
@suttonimages I agree @scarbsf1 broke the formula.com TOS. he has not infringed copyright though. different issues
Oh, cool many thanks!
You can stop people linking to an image on a website altogether though.
Ah. Very confusing.
I guess it depends on how you define his benefit vs other parties, and if a url can be considered credit. and who deserves the credit (f1.com/sutton/LRGP)
Quite a grey area, in hindsight probably best not to do it. although i have been guilty of doing it myself with random google image search results in the past
I guess it's kind of like going to an art gallery. You're not blatantly ripping off an image and displaying it right outside the door, but you are letting people in the back gate for free.
Maybe. I'm not good at analogies.
f1.com who have paid for it are losing the benefit though as the traffic doesn't come through their page
you can make it difficult, not sure about impossible. f1.com seems to ban rightclicking
They dont have a page though! :D
so it's the entire gallery!
Having a good adventure mrs c? :)
Yes indeedy! Three destinations complete. Tomorrow is a sort of travel/relax day before final destination on Friday.
Not like the film. Hopefully.
Trying to tweet about an image in that though would be like a game of battleships! :P
I guess the link should have gone here http://www.sutton-images.com/preview.asp?filename=d11tur1256.jpg
hehe!
Sounds fun, Cant wait to hear about it :)
should I be happy or sad right said fred tweeted me? I'm not quite sure how to feel
The Freds!
i followed such a link the other day, and they got both the wrong row and the wrong column. possibly it realigns to different screen res
you should be deeply dippy
From the look of their Twitter account, they have some epic vanity searching going on :)
I didn't even tweet them! I only tweeted a random thought. Made me laugh to see them reply.
I'm so jealous!
hehehe! Bedtime for me, night all!
This might be worth linking to - a set of track guides for F1 2010: http://www.virtualr.net/f1-2010-formula-one-track-guides/
It's a good strategy for getting involved in conversations ;)

Doesn't she have a computer with her?
formula.com TOS won't stand up in court. scarbs is fine, sutton way out of their depth on this one.
The Original Series?

How so? Assuming it's possible to see the pictures, hotlinking an image is exactly the same from the computer's perspective as loading the same image if clicked on in the gallery. On that logic, if hotlinking is barred on the "use without permission", so is clicking on the images in the gallery (looking at the gallery itself would be fine).
If F1.com had specifically banned hotlinking like I believe pitpass.com once did, that would be another matter.
:D
I think Sutton want to boldly go where they shouldn't
Probably some time ago. About a year ago two people broke into a high-security prison because they were fed up with the extensive drug culture in the open one they were in...
:lol:
I missed that one
They got their wish - along with a 18-month sentence extension (can't remember whether the extension was suspended) for breaking out of prison, which according to their lawyer was considered to be worth it in order to get clean.
Crazy world
I suspect it may have been a token gesture on the part of the prison service, but still...
heheh

Talking of a crazy world, I couldn't ignore the utterly, utterly ridiculous idea of Greece building an F1 circuit...

This isn't a set for Mamma Mia! 2 by any chance?
Marti said earlier
They could at least try and make it realistic no?
Countries less likely to host a GP in the next 3 years... Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda... I think that's it
Any country in Africa, Antarctica...
(but there's still no way Greece is in the top 20 which it would need to be to get on the calender).
I'd put a quite a few African countries ahead of Greece - at least you could sell an African GP to Bernie, he doesn't need another European one and that's got to affect the commercial reality of the project
Evening!
Maybe.... Ireland?
Bon soir
