Yesterday was a good day in Sidepodcast Towers, and whilst I would usually be dreading the appearance of Thursday tomorrow, instead I am still happy about the great Tuesday we had yesterday. Let's see how long this lasts. Here are some of the things we're talking about:
- Schumacher has admitted he is not fit to race in Valencia, with recurring problems in his neck. Ferrari immediately confirmed that Badoer would get the nod for the drive, which leaves the entire F1 community going: why? So far, no one seems to have a reason why they would choose Badoer over Gene, and whilst we don't have anything against Badoer, it seems an odd move.
- Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo couldn't let things lie with the above news and decided now was a good time to suggest that next year they might want to run three cars. This seems so unlikely to happen but if anyone can make it so, I guess Ferrari can.
- Finally, it is not F1 news, but Franck news! He'll be racing in the IRL series later this month. Yay! That is all.
Midway through the week, you must be up to something exciting by now? Let us know either way, we want to hear from you. I'll see you in the comments.
Does Franck news deserve its own jingle?
He's back in IRL right?
oh no. my fantastic day just finished :(
but, yes he does.
the day finishes when you go to sleep :D so you're day is still good :)
i want to record my own "JON news" jingle :D
please, please do that!
:D
maybe after i've finished writing my infinite weekend reports ;)
G'Day everyone. Hows it going?
Hey everyone, check this out:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/08/08/fugly-friday-yvettes-bridal/
Nice way to start your day - even if it isn't a Friday. :D
OMG - not a good week for bikes - everyone's had an accident this week! My Danish teacher just called to cancel her lesson because she just fell off and hurt her knee :(
Oh no! Hope she gets better soon.
She's fine - she just needs RICE and she'll be OK :)
Was my wife's football story removed? Ah well, thought you'd like that one - made me laugh! ;)
Hello all.
Welcome to Wednesday :)
Morning :)
And what's Wednesday like this week?
Tis OK - lots of meetings and the weather is colder today... But no Danish lesson so effectively I get to go home an hour earlier :)
A quiet day so far - which is a good thing. :D It's my mom's birthday tonight, too - we're going out to celebrate. :)
Tillykke med foedselsdagen ;)
I was just presented with a bacon and egg sandwich at my desk! So things are looking pretty good :)
Awesome!
...Wha? :P
Happy Birthday in Danish.
...Hey, if it's OK to post Finnish words here ;)
Maraming Salamat. :D
No thanks, I've just eaten ;)
:)
:D
I was actually saying thank you very much. :P
Cheers!
This one? http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/08/11/daily-11th-august-2009/#comment-432662
sorry
Yeah that one :) Looks like I might have posted it in the right thread for once?
Morning all :D
I am off to Middlesex today, how exciting!
How are we all?
JON news!
aah, i'll never get tired of that :D
how is Mrs Christine today?
All good. Nothing to report.
I have caught up with the comments, and am quite astonished that the discussion turned to spiders again, and lasted for over an hour! Who knew they were so entertaining??
I think it's Lou who is quite entertaining
I just went swimming. Now I'm staving and don't have any food around. Grrrr.
I was shocked as well. I still maintain that telling Lou not to come to Australia is bad advice since I have seen no spiders in 14 months, yet she has seen a million in a week.
Franck alert
http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns21714.html
True enough, although she might have a fit if she saw a huntsman
That was all the rage yesterday. :D
Yes! I like to think that people are writing about him just for me :)
so would I, but I still am convinced I never will! There are no spiders in Melbourne, I'm sure of it
Perhaps she should come and stay with you then.
Not even in summer?
not a one
well the guy currently living on our couch is moving out next week, room for all!
Sorted. Is it a comfortable couch?
Must be if you can live on it. I hate even sitting on mine
It's actually a bed that we cover in cushions to disguise the fact its not a couch, so yes!
Right, 45 minutes into london then 46 minutes (apparently) on the underground, then a 22 minute walk. Woop woop. How exciting....or not...
Have a fun day y'all, i shall talk to y'all later :D
Perfect.
Three cars will never happen, it will only cause more problems in my opinion.
I am a bit out of touch, a bit too busy working these days :-)
Any mention of Franck is always welcome :)
A potential grid of 39 cars is much too many, if you ask me.
Monaco won't agree to that - no way.
Unless... LDM wants pre-qualifying to trim the field?
That hadn't actually crossed my mind. :)
Wow. Formula 1 really is going backwards!
Back to the 80s, I say. :D
just like Aqua.
The pinnacle of motorsport - 20 years behind the times. Perfect.
I just saw the MTV yesterday. Now I can't get it out of my head. :P
these LDM's words may hint at something:
"I prefer three McLaren and three Renault to three "whatevers"."
Come to think of it, is any sport excelling right now? Almost all the sports I see seem to be struggling with one thing or another. If not cheating, then steroids. If not that, then cashflow.
Can you say "garagiste"?
Hehe :D
As most sport gets its income from sponsorship, I can imagine a recession is hard to navigate. But its really just a case of cutting back and weathering the storm, rather than regressing twenty years, surely?
I certainly don't want to go back to 80s fashion just cos money is tight :)
But the 80s is in vogue again. Fashion and music, in particular.
Well, I guess the powers-that-be want to be seen as doing something rather than sitting back and bracing for impact.
I'd rather be unfashionable.
Heheh. The 80s was actually a pretty good decade. :D
*hands back pop socks*
I will take 80s music over most other genres. The rest I'd rather leave in the past.
Hehe.
They had some pretty good movies that decade - Footloose, The Breakfast Club, Top Gun...
hehe Footloose
that is exactly the message I am trying to pass to one of my clients, although I am talking about less than 20 years set back. you will not believe how extreme some people (who looked rather normal as recently as 8 months ago) can get these days :-)
Okay, fine, I give in. The 80s were awesome. But I don't want F1 to go back there. The cars are fugly enough as it is.
Kevin Bacon!!! :D
Actually....
Oh never mind I wont start
I thought the worst of the recession was over?
I bet he hates that movie now
...F1 cars in the 80s looked cool? :D But yeah, fat chance of us ever getting those again.
Hahahahaha! But it's the movie that made him famous!
Joe Saward: Why has Ferrari picked Luca Badoer?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw2ZM2KkjY0 ;)
Part of my plan for more overtaking is wings from the 80s - single plane, no winglets and stuff
The first bit of the video anyway. :)
hehe yep
Brilliant. Made my day. :D
What's Footloose? Do I need to add it to my list?
I think you have to have seen the film.
So add it to my to-watch list?
Um. Maybe if it included Xanadu and Grease
Is there an answer in there really?
It's very hard to find. But the first paragraph states that he's the official test and reserve driver. No mention of Gene.
And what’s Wednesday like this week? {Comment #17}
Wet and complicated - I've just had to reschedule a Jobseeker's Allowance sign-on session so I can do my revalidation for First Aid at work...
I just went swimming. Now I’m staving and don’t have any food around. Grrrr. {Comment #39}
Why is it that leisure centre cafés are never open when people want to use them? I can never use mine because it shuts too early and given the timestamp on Paul's comment, I wouldn't be surprised if his centre's café opens too late...
Three cars will never happen, it will only cause more problems in my opinion. {Comment #55}
Three cars was in the old Concorde Agreement, but only if the total number of cars under the two-car-per-team system dropped below 20 (for some reason, temporary dips below that number aren't counted). This condition is unlikely to trigger any time in the foreseeable future.
Bummer news for us in this part of the world:
i haven't of anyone in that list? are they even real people?
I know Larini, Zanardi, Papis, and JV. I've heard of Beppe Lucchini, but I don't really know him.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the lower formulae.
cantu, crypton, scuderia italia chesterfield.
they're all made up words :)
Krypton would be a great name for a team though.
:D Goes along with Onyx and Megatron.
colour scheme would be quite similar to brawn?
"he will at least fulfil his ambition of racing for Ferrari"
fisi must be livid right now...
Very green and very shiny.
would he swap his career to date for what badoer's had so far? probably not. - at least fisi's won twice.
Would it make podium Superman capes more or less likely?
I do like FKM's picture being on the Autosport homepage.
only twice? that's it? assumed there were more.
oooh. less, i'd imagine.
TWO huge revelations from Prost in this AUTOSPORT article:
oops, he had 3 wins, not 2. :D
next question then. are we live commenting IRL on 23rd august? same day as valencia, but presumably on later in the day?
that's only slightly better! x2 renault and x1 jordan?
yup. 1 in 03, 1 in 05, 1 in 06. the only time he had a competitive car was as alonso's teammate.
Erm... this is how much I know about IRL:
FRANCK!
if we did it for franck at le mans, surely we should do it for him too in indycar?
WOMAN!
gonna be a quite session then :)
Hehehehe.
Dario? I know Steven knows him.
Andretti? :D
excellent. bring on shouty live commenting :)
Morning all,
Strange, what with all this talk of the 80s going on, that this morning my iTunes randomiser has ceased its explorations of Muse's back catalogue and is mad for the Pet Shop Boys.
Oh come on – what's not to love?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDqMScqPaHQ
look at those leggings!
:D This'll be fun. This will also make Pat W VERY happy. ;)
cantu, crypton, scuderia italia chesterfield.
they’re all made up words {Comment #105}
Chesterfield's not a made-up word - I live there!
Though the lack of a Scuderia Italia in town does make me rather suspicious of the existence of the organisation...
I LOVE this song. Thanks, Stuart. :)
Mind you, always preferred this one...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQT3oKA3v8
Isn't Chesterfield there referring to a brand rather than a town?
pick a favourite driver and shout when they appear.
am excited already.
ruined!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpJZVfeRK1c
what video is that? it's geolocked.
what about this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqkNbUTShLs
Scuderia Italia Chesterfield ran Lolas in 1993. They were so bad that they often only had one car qualify in last place (while the other filled the only DNQ slot!)
“he will at least fulfil his ambition of racing for Ferrari”
fisi must be livid right now… {Comment #109}
Probably not. If he wasn't livid back in 2004 when he was promised a Ferrari test that was assumed at the time to be part of a path to a full-time Ferrari race seat and it got given to his team-mate, then losing a substitution place that his contract with Force India would probably have blocked anyway isn't going to cause much frustration.
You're right that he won't be happy though.
Egad! Anyone else think of some awful and improbable covers?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEp-z9ymB2c
ahhh, that version. well, that's still MUCH better than this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dr9sTVtFdE
I can smell fish and chips.
i'll take fb3 over that anytime.
yikes...
from the go go's?
Now you're making me hungry. :P
It's making me hungry!
Who is this Hilary Duff?
Isn’t Chesterfield there referring to a brand rather than a town? {Comment #134}
Most likely. If I remember correctly, the brand was named after a town, but which one is hard to say as there are multiple Chesterfields in North America as well as the one in England.
And what is she doing with music?
Maybe just from Belinda Carlisle...
Who is this Hilary Duff? {Comment #149}
A singer. Not an especially great one.
:D Lizzie McGuire? Y'know, the girl Disney made famous before Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus...
Morning :) how is everyone in sidepodcastworld today?
Reminiscing about the 80s... :D
Ah, I liked Lizzie McG and her bratty brother.
Hungry!
Hello everyone...
I am sick again, this is not good...
Reeling from my discovery of Hilary Duff...
:D
Well indeed. Just because Sinatra made a career out of sounding flat and off-key doesn't mean everyone else ought to aspire to it. Bah! I'm going to go and cuddle a Human League album, or something.
Haylie Duff is the one you've got to watch out for. She's famous for being Hilary's sister and she's making a film with an ex-Backstreet Boy. Not allowed.
simple minds, sign o'the times:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDTruFjP57s
I see, is giggles around? Maybe he can fix it for time to pass so that it's lunch time and you can go and get some food...
hehehe
is she still around then?
Isn't Lukeh around to go to Greggs?
Hmm. If Giggles can mess about with time, I'd like to do some more exciting things than that :)
a-ha. i win:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA_c1o5Y95o
#sorrychristine
oh noes! I hope you get better soon!
Uck.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKDcoPcwXpM
hehe you make a good point
I dont think i got over my cold... Starting major exercise is not good because its back and its worse :(
They should have been put up against a wall and shot for that!
:D
Oh noes. Perhaps your sweat dried up without you wiping it off?
First album I ever bought! I can't help having a soft spot for it.
I am not quite sure what that means, but i have been swimming....
Ahhh. When you sweat on your back and you don't wipe it off right away and you just let it dry, it usually contributes to sickness.
Since you swam, I guess your body just got too tired, especially with the cold temperatures in the water.
first album you ever bought... hmm...
i think, this one, and first single. i think... although it could easily have been sinitta.
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Music+Initiation
How's the 20km going Nick?
how am i not on that list?
Because you hate the wiki?
oh right.
Not sure I want to mention myb Suzi Quattro album, when I was 10
I have done 4K... dont think i will be leaving the house today though.. i am dizzy, eyes and noes have leaks, all in all not realy a good combo
Good effort so far
awww... Suzi Perry just sent me a DM on twitter... the day is looking up!
Now there's two answers for this, one shameful one not
First Album bought for me was: New Kids On The Block! I was 5 ok!
First Album I Bought: A Storm In Heaven - The Verve (age 9)
Make that 2... I am on to a winner here!
Wow. This is mediafuturechange-HUGE:
Judge: Microsoft Banned from Selling Word in the US
If that happens I will eat my hat
Worst albums ever bought/given and disgusted they infiltrated my cool collection
Robbie Williams - Any of them
Status Quo - Best of
Oasis - Go Let It Out
Mark Morrison - Return of The Mack (oh yes!!)
Santana - Some awful service station collection that was blatantly some kid taping his gigs live
This sort of thing happens all the time.. they will appeal, and if that doesnt work, settle out of court.
"i4i actually sells XML products for Word, making that company reliant on the ecosystem"
stupid people.
How can you say that about the Quo? They're rocking all over the world!
I think they're guessing that MS has much more to lose than they do. Therefore, they're after the cash.
I don't get it, how is that possible? Word is banned? nah
i like it, i like it, i like it?
Still are - sadly
Lemsip with honey and JD will sort you out.
Oh, how could you?
Whatever you want.
Very easily. I took the ex's dad once to one of their concerts.. OMG I believe the youngest patron was at least 20 years older then me
I respect what Quo did but playing the same three chords for 30 years just doesn't do it for me! To many Argos adverts with 'Whatever you Want' has ruined it for me
OMG I forgot to take Lemsip!
It was bought for me! I should've got an oscar for the fake excitment I displayed when given it.
I had to perform a similar ritual upon receiving Kylie Minogue's first album for my 16th birthday (1988).
Who's that cheesy bloke who sings 'You Had A Bad Day'........
Argh that's it James Morrison (I think)
I nearly hit the person that bought me that for xmas last year! I would've prefered horrid socks or a awful jumper.
Man I wanna drown that bloke on the cheesy he ozzes in his songs and for good measure throw Mark Ronson in with him.
Daniel Powter. One hit wonder, I think.
I like it.
I shockingly had Jason's Donovans album too,the worst thing Is I forgot to put it on the terrible list of albums.
I hang my head firmly in shame.
you made me listen to it...
Argh I just sharpened the knives for James Morrison. I'm sorry James...well
James Morrison is pretty good. I liked his duet with Nelly Furtado.
Please don't say things like that, MR C will kick me off the board if I respond!
:-)
:D
Let's put things in perspective - here's the Number 1 song in the Philippines right now:
Nobody But You
I do have a guilty pleasure for Burt Bacharach
I'll let you get yr digs in now. I slip him on between the endless amounts of guitar noise I listen to.
Anyone know if Lukeh is off to see Muse in November, i managed to get tickets yesterday. I think he may have a slight liking for them..........
He's BRILLIANT! He created the most wonderful songs. Ahhh, those were the days. :D
I don't think so - they're not dropping by anywhere near he is... That said, I'm sure he'd go if cost wasn't a factor.
*stays out of this one to avoid showing I'm an oldy*
I'm NOT old. :P
i don't believe they are going to Cardiff or anywhere near him in wales so he didn't get any tickets.
Didn't he sing... oh no, it was these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fGedKNUQu0
Oh, neither am I.
I don't even know what I'm talking about
I'm driving 150 miles! we live on a small island! Where's his commitment eh?! lol. Does he play the olde guitar?
Mate i'm 26 and me and the lads have liked him since we first saw Austin Powers (I was 15) with him singing 'What The World Needs Now'. I had to study his arrangment techniques at college and thought he's pretty ace!
i'm not sure if he plays the guitar. i do though :P
Spider-free today?
Sidepodradioshow?
Sidepodlivelounge. :D
so far, thank god. It only seems to be me that finds them :(
ahahahaha no.
Cant tempt you to do just a tune or 2?
ahahahaha yes? :D
nope. besides i'm not sure how much of sidepodradio day i'll be around for :(
am going to see coldplay at Wembley :D
I BAGS MY COUNTRYMAN SCOTT DIXON.
scott!
this is easy. how long to races last?
on the sunday?
i'd be lying if I said I know anything about IRL other than "Scott Dixon is in it and he wins lots" don't have a clue how long they race for.
erm... 3 hours?
ooh.
you need to know what colour his car is. nothing more.
I just did something that Mr C has never and will never do. I made banana muffins from scratch in both regular sized and mini sized versions
19th is the saturday?... has the date changed again?
oooo yum! :)
Send me some?
I'm sick!
'the pits book has arrived!
I think its red? I think his racing suit is anyway.
why is it that even though they came from the same mixture the mini ones taste better?
I was right, it is red, and he just broke the record for the most Indycar wins. What is it with red cars?
Sweet, what you play etc...
is scott a
big cheatervery talented man too?maybe it's like they say?.. less is more?
i play classical guitar so mainly flamenco and Spanish pieces :)
Not sure if it's true or false - but it's some interesting insight on Renault's future:
How revealing a 5 minute conversation can be
Saturday was not a popular day.
ooh right :) i must have missed some comments. sorry.
Ah very nice, so you live in a world of minor keys and modes?
pretty much ;) i play other pieces, but prefer spanish ones :)
we is taking monday off instead. sidepodholiday.
Its the blog part of a site which uses GMM
ah sounds good. it's going to be a long weekend for me, but can't wait now :D it's going to be awesome :)
His wiki page doesn't have a "controversy" section, thats a good start.
Watch it!
No.
I can't remember what my first single was... It may have been from Level 42. But my first album was Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers Megamix cd.
hehe Hi Alex :)
The weird thing is that I hadn't seen that page either - maybe I was on hiatus? ;)
The really odd thing is that I just asked fourstar and his first album was the exact same one as Bassano's (Adam Ant). And his first single was also a comedy record but this time Captain Beaky and his band by Keith Michelle.
Hello :)
so if i have this right. indy practice/qually is on the saturday and franck should get 45mins more practice than others because he's a rookie.
race is on sunday and starts approx midnight our time? something like that. schedule here:
http://www.infineonraceway.com/documents/09indycarsked.pdf
Gosh, you really are excited about it. Planning ahead is not the SPC way!
I think Mr C is about to attempt time travel ;)
oh. i have that wrong?
well, valencia sans renault doesn't offer that much to look forward too.
rookies get more practice? nice idea!
oh no! if my calculations are right, it starts at 7.45am Monday my time, and I start work soon after that :(
No... Sorry. I was attempting a poor call back to today's earlier question.
We can shout Scott on your behalf?
I can mobile doohickey and shout even though I won't know whats happening or if he is on screen :D
take a tv to work?
We won't know what's happening either, so that sounds like it would work :)
this is random... but i'm confused by Jenson's taste in cars... he has a veryron, a ferrari enzo ( :o ), some mercedes cars (not really a surprise), that really lovely 1970s 600cc Honda and a few VW camper vans... then i find out he has a smart car??... :s
SCOTTTTTTT!!!!!
(hasn't it started yet?)
Step away from the button!
As we are rookies, it makes sense we should get some extra practice in.
FRANCK!
*runs away to go and do more work*
:)
Do we all have to pick a driver?
I need to check some lists!
you can have the aussie :P
There must be a driver called Nick?
If you do not pick one, you will default to Franck.
oh yes!
facebook lite... or umm, twitter?
Another IRL fact: Scott Dixon does not run with the #1 on his car that he is entitled to as the 2008 champion as the teams sponsor Target, are "known for running cars #9 and #10"
Dont make me throw up!
Right... Dan Wheldon it is..
Easiest to type :P
Should we make a list? I can wiki it.
How come Montoya runs #42?
i pick Mike Conway! he comes from Kent and everything!! i'll also support Franck though :)
yes please.
I like him because he drove for Kimis F3 team :D
Do we have an entry list?
http://www.indycar.com/drivers/
Can't believe they don't have Franck on there yet. Terrible business.
plus some of the people on that page won't be racing. Very confusing with all their driver changes, the IRL.
Justin Wilson is in it?
yup.
Sarah fisher is on there, she was my first choie but she is only doing a couple of races this year
It's such a mess at the moment I'm surprised they even have a website
:D i think i remember he was part of honda's young drivers program too. is it bad i want him to be in f1 so we can have an f1 driver from Kent? lol
Hmm. Maybe I'll just put in who we've already selected.
she was the one I was thinking of when I realised they won't all be at Sonoma :D
Oh... hello, by the way
They call it the 'indy grand prix'?
Right, who have I missed?
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/IRL+Support
According to Wikipedia it is:
PEAK Antifreeze & Motor Oil Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma County
Catchy!
If that just doesn't sum up what a mess IRL is at the moment
Suddenly 'helluva good at the glen' sounds good!
Dan Wheldon's teeth have been photoshopped, surely?
*waves*
F1 totally needs to branch out. Three races will be ING-less next year, I want to see "KFC Ultimate Burger Meal Grand Prix of Australia"
Another IRL Fact: Scott Dixon's voice is used to put babies to sleep.
Only because you hope they will give out free KFC :)
sidepodcast (hearts) franck indy gp of sonoma?
last time there was free KFC I didn't manage to make it to the store when the promo was on :(
Apparently a pint of beer costs £9 in oslo... Im chucking that off thr 'to do list'!
And Franck's #25 car is sponsored by Automatic Fire Sprinklers - are they saying he's a fire risk?
Ooooh no yuo have to go to Oslo ... it's a great city and really beautiful!
Automatic Fire Sprinklers are the bestest.
They are not a regular sponsor, they are usualy in the lites, but they sponsored frank for this because they think he can win!
I prefer a manual fire sprinkler :-)
It isnt out yet, i expect it will be posted here soon
http://www.indycar.com/stats/lineup.php?year=2009
I've gone with spider-man
you're overestimating the knowledge of your audience sir...
Tobey Maguire races??
i know that someone climbs fences but I don't have a clue who it is :D
Have I?
Ah, yes I have :-(
That would be #3 Helio Castroneves
Hehehe.
is he the doctor?
Nooooo. Dr McDreamy is Patrick Dempsey.
ahh, dancer boy.
ah the tax guy. also known as the dancing with the stars guy.
oh. this is rather confusing.
Ah, they've discovered my fool proof driver selection procedure
KFC has burgers over there?
We do here too! http://www.kfc.co.uk/our-menu/burgers-and-box-meals/
That's not a burger, that's a chicken sammich.
ah, over here, this is a chicken sandwich http://www.ginsters.co.uk/productselector_info.asp?pid=138
I've never understood the American way of not calling it a burger if it has chicken. A sandwich has bread, not buns :D
Sammich might be new favourite word of the day.
Ah... I know who that is...!
:)
Is that something to brag about?
I would like to go for TOBY!
Toby Kanaan?
Is a bun not bread? Now I am more confused than ever. Who ever said we speak the same language?
Toby Mcguire. Tony Kanaan.
Of course not!
Would you call a hotdog or a cheesburger a sandwich?
You mean sammich?
Toby McGuire
Oh no, it's catching on.
I wants a sammich
Can haz cheesburger?
Sounds like the result of an unfortunate episode of baywatch!
I guess I am a product of my environment.
http://www.angelosbbq.com/menu.html Yummy, so very yummy!
Just using my new work laptop... Apple has ruined the laptop experience for me. I used to be able to work a track pad. But this stupid dell doesn't have two finger scroll or two finger right click!
Useless :(
Some PC netbooks have that...
what about swipe left and right?
and pinch?
Has the fail whale been spotted in the sea of Twitter again?
Oo-er missus! ;)
I think Twitter is down again!
Nothing :(
I couldn't live without the two finger scroll.
Swallowed it whole I think
The problem is that it is so much better and more natural that it's very hard to switch back.
And Ctrl + Up arrow isn't home!
What's going on?
Well, fun checking in on you guys. All this talk about food has me ready for lunch. Time to go get some sushi. Take care all.
I cant use a touch pad, give me a mouse or a joystick anyday!
you can use a laptop with a joystick?
cheers jarrett!
enjoy your lunch :)
(I'm only being cheeky - honest ;)
Maybe it's because you don't use a mac?
Until an hour ago I had no idea there was a Greys Anatomy video game. I am preparing to play it. I am expecting it to be terrible yet I am kind of excited.
yup, much easier for me, i find it much more accurate.
I always use a small mouse with a laptop but invariably some berk will have stuck a sticker on the patch of the laptop you can use as a mousepad and it's usually got a hologram on to boot - who knows where the pointer will end up as the laser passes over it?
Ive used one when the mac store became my free internet cafe in sydney, just didnt suit.
I guess because my first laptop had a joystick i have always prefered that
I haven't seen a laptop with a joystick in years - do they still make them?
you're serious? one of these?
I hope so! my netbook had a joystick, it wasnt between the g and h keys which was much better.
the keyboard i bought the other month has one built in aswell
Apparently it's almost as dire as the program itself
Twitter is back...
LOL - that was my first thought
No, they're like a little mushroom
hahahaha :lol:
Not quite!
Which Star Trek filmset was that stolen off?
oh. i saw one of those back in the '90s, i think.
Here's the one on my flybook
Little nub on the top left
This laptop has both
Usually growing between the G and H keys

i just googled laptop nipple without thinking about it. a rather unfortunate moment.
That would be painful if you caught it while closing the lid :(
hahaha, :D
hah!
The problem with a joystick isn't the joystick itself but the odd places they like to put it.
that's what they used to be called. at least, i never heard of them being called a joystick.
I have just discovered that audio alerts work on firefox!
Yay! But embarrassing in the office!
Vaseline should clear it up within a few days
Yes
w00t!
oops.
:D
Dell apparently call it a "pointing stick" which is mad because that's what I think you call the thing you use to point at a screen. One of those laser pen type things
me too. it's not even stick like.
Mousestick, thumbstick, analougestick, navstick... they are just words to avoid calling a joystick a joystick!
Laptop Mushroom should have caught on
erm... haven't they been working for sometime now?
For balance however the backlit keyboard is actually really nice on this laptop.
I usually use Chrome.
Take all the joy out of it don't they?
not pinkish in hue?
If it's anything like the rolly-thing on the G1, it's called a trackball.
Come to think of it... Joystick is such a naff name
Its like that, but instead of spinning it tilts ;)
Tiltball?
Reminds me of pinball.
hehe, but its more of a lump... tiltlump?
Now we're getting somewhere.
Nipple to tiltlump doesn't seem like much progression... or it might be eyesight
Nippletiltlump
BMW seem to have just realised Kubica clocked up his 50th race in Hungary
http://bit.ly/Qf7IT
I keep horribly misreading that!
sorry. i can see why ibm went with what they did now.
Oh good, it's not just me then
it kinda looks like a nubin.
"Nubin Pointer"
You're all wrong...
They should have gone with "Finger mouse" - surely
No need to apologise - it's quite funny actually!
That's sounds more like a pad - your finger being the mouse
Finger Mouse?
Makes me think of Danger Mouse.
Yes Finger Mouse...
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7HTl72CDKxg/R68mc0BlHJI/AAAAAAAAAJM/PXfhSvdlzng/mouse-puppets.jpg
No. Finger Mouse - http://www.benlocker.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/mouse.jpg
Dun da da da dun da dun dah
That's what I meant... When I said Yes, I meant no
Finger mouse already taken: http://www.techshout.com/images/logisys-optical-finger-mous.jpg
Because wearing a mouse on your finger is the logical way forward... next step, building it INTO your finger...
Afternoon all. How are we?
never better jon. today is a good day too.
what's good about today? :)
how so?
just having a good day. learning about irl and naming nip... things. what's not to like?
What exactly have you learnt?
it is called irl
- the tax dodging dancer, climbs fences.
- rookie's get extra practice
There was a great photoshoppped pic when he got accused of dodging tax of him climbing a prison fence :D
Also different drivers in different races... tis confusing
I'm alive. Just.
hey ya.
wooop
Bonsoir
What are we on at the moment?
RG is still alive, all is well
That's always a good thing...
IS RG the one with the scottish accent?
Nope, RG has a Northern accent
The one?
Even in french :P
Ah good man, like me then. (The north begins at Sheffield, not stoke as some of the southerns think!)
I'm genetically perfect but enviromentally misplaced...
ie I moved down south!
Wye oui homme.
Potentially my favourite quote of the week :D
Always a pleasure :-)
Oxford is so clean compared to Middlesbrough.
oooooh, are we supporting irl drivers? Lemme have a look.
(I know I am away on the Sunday, but I do have a psp.
Gotta be Dario hasn't it?
Hmm, I like the looks of Mario Moraes.
I've thought of another new thing for the playground. Your own URL shortening service :)
apparently there is a wordpress plugin:
http://www.zeldman.com/2009/08/10/shorten-this/
You like the look?..........
I thought we were basing our picks on driver ability or is there something i don't know?!
Question: Why we interested in IRL? something happening?
I'm not sure about those people in Zone 6 at the top of London.
I was in Zone 5 today....they looked pretty dodgy too....
To be fair, always believed the north was anything north than north yorkshire.
Franck who Christine likes is in it.
to be honest zone 2 on the top is really my limit. Zone 3 on the south.
I'd agree with that, they talk funny
That'd be Steven Roy or Jackie, depending on which gender you were referring to
I had to go, please don't judge me ;)
we'll let you off this time. It happens to us all occasionally. But just don't let it become a habit ;)
What! North Yorkshire is the middle of the north! Argh I miss Whitby sooooooooo much. When I say N Yorkshire I mean York, Whitby, Scarborough etc
A Mr Rob Smedley comes from round my way. Not that I knew him or anything.
I should've know.....all these random motorsports turn up in these pages and 90/100 it's Franck related!
I have to travel to Zone 5 every day!
Argh that makes sense.........Steven Roy
Just 90, a conservative estimate, I feel ;)
It should be noted that it wasn't my idea to follow it though. I absolve myself of all blame.
I need something to hit. Preferably something like a large punch bag. :(
Is either Mr C's fault or Steven's
The former will generally blame the latter, regardless :)
that's why we have to keep tabs on you ;)
Wassup fella?
Very wise, apparently, I'm a bad influence
Bad end to a less than average day at work.
Im so far out i dont even have a zone...
I had a really hard day at work
It's over now
Time for :lol:
haven't you been on the naughty step so long you've had a chance to build a naughty chair or am I imagining it? ;)
You could try hitting me, but i cant promise i wont hit back...
I am sick though so i like your chances
My timing is superb isn't it?
Afternoone all
how do you keep track of how far you are from central London?
Right, i was reading the Times earlier (someone left it on the train and i was bored) and naturally it had a MSC story so i read it...and found this
[Talking about who may do the rest of the Ferrari season to replace Massa if it turns out Badoer is rubbish]..."Giancarlo Fisichello, of Force India, once identified by Ferrari as a star of the future, is also being mentioned after it became known that he would test-drive for the team next year"
Did anyone else know this? I had no idea!
evening,
Everyone who just got here needs to pick yourself an irl driver for the big race
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/IRL+Support
You are all wrong about north. North begins at Loch Lomond. Middlesborough and Yorkshire is waaaay south
Hey Steven
Impeccable
Im by the M25... 1 side is brighter and the other is dark...
I was but I sneaked off for shots at the bar with Mr C but he grassed me up ;)
No!
We knew he was bong edged out of Force India though.
*being
Is it an oval or a proper track?
News to me. It is quite a few years ago that he was last mentioned in connection with Ferrari and I assumed that was just because he was Italian.
I find it odd that they are giving Badoer a drive now when they didn't 10 years ago in his second season with the team
I had a customer on the phone who would hardly let me get a word in edgeways and just wouldn't stop talking, followed by one of my colleagues crabbing out at me because I hadn't been able. I ended up leaving 12 minutes later than I should have and only just got the bus back into the city.
You'd have thought they'd have mensioned it at some point. I haven't heard anything about it
Crabbing out?
Mr C picked Danica?
*been able to do something.
It's a proper track
I think he just likes saying "woman!"
There's a suprise
Proper track... Its in gran turismo if you need to have a go to educate your guess infenion raceway
Which version, there are a few on GT4
That figures.
complaining. It's a term we use in the call centre for some who whinges and moans.
One of the licence tests on GT4 is driving an Audi R8 (the LMP1) around Infiniteon Raceway, its epic, i cant ever finish a lap, its too quick
as I've been saying I think that means it was a surprise to them.
Would make sense if Badeor is about to retire.
hehe. thing is, i think bit.ly is backed by the same people who back drop.io.
i'm not writing our own drop.io.
i hate wordpress ;)
Ah ok
I left half an hour late and I should've left bang on time as I had an appointment.
That's on top of the usual half an hour early, every day (which is kind of expected)
I believe in England, Yorkshire is waaaay south
If there is one called the grand prix circuiti would go for that... if not, the longest
Raceway, gotcha
That's the configuration for the IRL is it?
I believe I am now choosing drivers based on looks.
fisi has been promised a ferrari drive since he started in f1. it is his dream though.
One lap of Sears Point / Infineon
true story.
The south doesnt begin until the isle of white, and the Devon/Cornwall border so i dont know how big the Midlands are!
So, shouldn't there be a list of options on the wiki page
That is a bit lazy of me but do they want my support or not? :)
We dont really know who's racing, you have to do your own homework!
Don't think I have seen Mario Moraes out of the car. I haven't seen much of him in one either. The last time I noticed him he became the latest victim of a stupid move by Marco Andretti and ended in the wall of corner 3 of a several hundred mile race.
Ok, fair enough I guess
Af'noon.
Hey Pat
pat! who's driving at sonoma next weekend?
Hi Pat
I went on the indycar site and it had his pic. Soo yeah. Marco Andretti, evil person.
Hey Pat.
That answers another Q of mine
Usual crowd plus Franck!
:D
do you have a list though? we is stuck.
So are we watching the IndyCar race?
This lot
http://www.indycar.com/drivers/
Give me a few mins and I will do.
tried that, got told that not everyone was.
Is there a preferred place for good info or is it just IRL.com or something
Will be picking my driver when I'm done with my current multi-tasking duties
Franck is racing
clueless live commenting. it'll be ace.
Not necessarily. There are oval-only drivers on that page.
That list is wrong
Another one ticked, thanks Steven
Err, this is very confusing
You do know this race is in California, right? I mean.. very late UK time..
we've had this all day :)
midnight?
Does Marco Andretti always pull that Mark Walberg face?
Amy is especially excited about this...
Just looking.. coverage starts in the US at 5pm Eastern, so 10pm here.
I think it is his default setting.
not so bad. cheers.
I just had a scary moment, my laptop shut it self off whilst I was using it. I was scared to press the on button in case it wouldn't work. Any ideas?
Maybe he talks to animals too?
midnight for me.
I get the feeling internet cafes won't be open at that time, even more so since its a Sunday.
Does it have a nipple?
That's not late, the night is still quite young then
I'm supporting Milka Duno and if she's not racing, I'm not interested ;)
:lol:
I'm saying no but I have no idea what you ar refering to. :)
Have you tried switching it..
Oh
It's got swine flu
It just got bored
The battery ran out
You'll never know until you do switch it on again
Tiltlump?
It is on now :P I don't know what happened it just deicded to turn off and I had to restart it. No messages or anything when it finished re-booting.
Home or work?
am guessing a meteorite shower corrupted your non-ecc checked ram.
These should be the drivers for Sonoma. Bear in mind many IndyCar teams chop and change drivers regularly, especially in this economy, because there are a lot of ride-buyers / car-sharers. We'll have a better idea this time next week.
Helio Castroneves (BR, Penske)
Ryan Briscoe (AUS, Penske)
Will Power (AUS, Penske) [query, he's a part time 3rd car]
Scott Dixon (NZ, Ganassi)
Dario Franchitti (SCO, Ganassi)
Danica Patrick (USA, Andretti-Green)
Tony Kanaan (BR, Andretti-Green)
Marco Andretti (USA, Andretti-Green)
Hideki Mutoh (JPN, Andretti-Green)
Franck Montagny (FRA, Andretti-Green)
Justin Wilson (ENG, Dale Coyne)
Graham Rahal (USA, Newman/Haas/Lanigan)
Oriol Servia (USA, Newman/Haas/Lanigan) [should still be in]
Dan Wheldon (ENG, Panther)
Ryan Hunter-Reay (USA, AJ Foyt)
Ed Carpenter (USA, Vision)
Raphael Matos (BR, Luczo Dragon)
Robert Doornbos (NED, HVM)
EJ Viso (VEN, HVM)
Mike Conway (ENG, Dreyer & Reinbold)
Mario Moraes (BR, KVRT)
This isn't a complete list as I don't yet know if Paul Tracy, Tomas Scheckter, Richard Antinucci, Milka Duno and more will have a drive.
We know these are NOT in for this race:
Sarah Fisher (USA, Sarah Fisher) [should be back for the Chicago oval]
Stanton Barrett (USA, Team 3G)
Home
That was my next guess too. How weird ;)
Do you guys over the pond really follow Indy?
It's like picking a football team every week
Do some drivers only do ovals?
Not really
Some, but they are very much in the minority I'd say
Now that Franck is there though...
I try to keep up with it as best I can. There is a core following here but I wouldn't say it was very big.
Unless you're talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark :)
I watched the 500 ansd commented on it here, but i think this race is the first for a lot of us!
:P
A race named after the number of commercials it contained apparently
The 500 is totally different. It's a thing all it's own. I only watch Indy in the same way I watch golf, that is to say if I am looking for a good nap. I miss CART.
The best 500 races are always offroad. Gimme some Baja!
Yes, either for financial reasons or because they are better at ovals than road courses. Or in Sarah's case, both. This year she is running her own team and cherry picking the races she knows she can do well at. This means her teams is presented very well and looks professional because she's not spreading resources too thinly. Her argument, which I agree with, is it is better to do well at some races than badly at all of them. She hopes to expand to other races when money allows. Some cars look horrendous with logos splattered anywhere.
There is a big meteorite shower in progress over the next couple of days. If you are in the UK and there is no cloud look to the north east tonight and you should see lots of meteors
What about the drivers' championship?
Oh good, it's raining again
Any idea how long it lasts for?
Between Penske and Ganassi only. Much like the Ferrari/McLaren era really. The others are there to promote brands and gradually improve themselves until they start winning.
The peaks are only a few hours but the event is usually a couple of days. Most showers are a few days wide in totality as the Earth passes through.
Cool, thanks
Can anyone out there help me with a song ID? I am looking for who sings a few songs that are on the video section on the F1 website? Starting with the Australia video. Thanks, I like it and want to add it to my iTunes.
About 10pm to 3am
Thanks Bassano. The Malaysia one is cool too. Any idea while you are in there?
Muse: Hysteria
Ta
Thanks!
The Futureheads: The Beginning of the Twist
Any others?
Thanks again. Yup, China?
Though 'Felipe Bay' should be on that one ;)
Just remembered the Scotland game was on TV. Switched on as we get a player sent off and Norway score from the free kick. Ouch
Hehehe. No offense to Christine but I hate that song. I can't get it out of my head......ever!
Ha, me too!
Dont worry i just turned it on too so it might not have been your fault
China. Hard-Fi: Living For The Weekend
Bahrain. Basement Jaxx: Good Luck
Spain. Stereophonics: The Bartender And The Thief
The song on the Great Britain GP?
You rock BTW!
Evening all, just been trolling back through the comments, I can't believe Christine's never seen Footloose, Kevin Bacon is fantastic in it. My first album - "Hits of the Rocking 70's" including Sugar Baby Love by the Rubettes and Lulu's version of The Man who Sold the World. Yes, I really am that old :-)
Kenny Loggins......shudder.
Monaco. Etta James: A Sunday Kind Of Love
Turkey. The Vines: Ride
Britain. Kasabian: Fire
Hehe, I knew Monaco.
Germany. Oasis: Rock 'N' Roll Star
Hungary. Girls Aloud: Wake Me Up (No need to buy that one though)
It'll be fun!! I can't wait. Although..
(24)
I have 11 days to watch 13 IndyCar races so I find out has been happening this year. This is the longest week of my life.
(/24)
As does Shazam
Though I knew most of them
It's hard to find good new music here. I think at least. MOst everything I listen too has some years on it.
I recommend Last.fm and join the Sidpodcast friends
We're relying on you Pat. You're the only one who knows what they're talking about.
No pressure.
New Music is massively overrated, especially in this country
Duffman's wife?
Bugger. I can recommend a whole host of bloggers?
Not so sure about that
You have to steer away from commercial stations though
I don't think it is. New bands aren't allowed time to grow though, before they are shuffled off the conveyor in the search of the NEXT new band...
Anyone hear if Aesop Rock? I found this cat a few months ago and my head is still reeling. Non Shall Pass.
http://www.myspace.com/aesoprockwins
Stereophonics: Handbags & Gladrags
He is so NYC it's not funny.
Travis: Hit Me Baby (One More Time)
Not awful, just funny
Even the band are laughing
Turbos with 1000bhp in the races and 1500 in qualifying engines that only lasted a few laps. Proper qualifying and qualifying tyres. All sorts of different teams winning and competing at the front. And Ferrari entering 20 years of oblivion.
Bring back the 80s
Jarrett, is that CT as in Connecticut?
I liked that but I did hear it live on Marc & Lard's show and the context of the show helps, it was one big laugh from start to finish :-)
I did buy the single of Turn because they'd used it as the b-side..
yup know that from first hand experience! Well hard to get anywhere with a band unless you know the right people
second apple problem this week (first being the big itunes problem i had) i was listening to my ipod (as i have been all day) and suddenly it just stopped. i assumed it had run out of battery, so i plugged it into my laptop and nothing happened. i plugged it into the desktop comp and nothing happened, and plugged it into the mains and nothing happened... i've tried trying to turn it on while it's plugged in to some power, and when it's not plugged into the power... nothing is happening and it's kinda permanently off. any suggestions other to panic?
Reel Big Fish doing Take On Me. It's actually good.
Sounds good
As long as we're only talking about F1 ;)
Me too
Yup, but always a TEXAN BY GAWD!!!!
Mark Ronson destroyed 'Just' by Radiohead. Turned it into some lounge jazz piffle
How long have you left it plugged into the mains for?
Try it for a good 20 - 30mins
You may have depleted the battery completely
It may take a little bit to have enough juice to fire up
okay will do.
Gooooooooood evening! :D
I finally got a new phone today, YAY!!!
evening Lukeh, what did you get?
Don't Panic
Lukeh you heard any of Resistance yet?
Nokia 8500, I have grown bored of Sony Ericsson and stupid pay as you go, and now I have a proper phone or so I consider :)
Ouch, sorry to hear that. Are any of us likely to know your stuff?
Hi Lukeh
*ahem*
I have heard United States of Eurasia and Uprising.
Mind = blown. All 200 times, according to last.fm.
I think it works on a lazy Sunday afternoon. At other times I could kill him for it.
evening to Janna, Lukeh, anyone else who's showed up while I was reading the older comments..
The distances tend to be longer than F1 races and the cars are slower (on road courses at least), so allow 2 hours flag to flag, plus the pre-race show if there is one.
Am liking it so far
They have a Pparade Lap too?
Not Giggles, surely?
red, unless it is blue
doohickey?
So that's where he goes..
Why do you have to be in the UK?
jon, how are you linking? for some reason your links keep killing commenting and i cant figure it out :(
I believe it will work properly!! like a proper thing on a phone thing will!!
Unlike my old phone which was basically the doohickey on notepad. Hell it would've been quicker psoting me updates in the post!
Cantu and Crypton I don't remember but Scuderia Italia was a previous Lola chassis user an Chesterfield is a cigarette brand.
and this is the same day as Valencia right? so Mr & Mrs C will be doing an f1 parade lap in the morning and the debrief in the evening followed by an irl parade lap?
Cos it won't be in the North East otherwise?
hehe!
hahahahahaha. no.
Yes. The pit boxes are arranged per last season's points. The champion gets the box on pit exit. Every driver has to make tight right-left turn to get back on to the pit apron to avoid the car/mechanic in front - every driver except Scott who just drives straight ahead and thus doesn't lose any time with the tight turn. You're seeing a pattern aren't you.
:D okay, was just checking :)
Wouldn't anywhere in the northern hemisphere result in the north east? Or is it a Geordie thing?
You don't but if you are somewhere else the times and direction will be different
The last couple of times I have right clicked on one of Jon's links I go to that page as if I had left clicked. I then have to go back to the doohickey.
This must be the new show they were talking about last night
I should say this isn't actually a cheat - it is perfectly legitimate under the rules - and he is a very good driver.
And every driver has his own pit box and pit crew so Franck won't have to queue with 4 other AGR cars.
Not if you are at the north pole
I just can't believe Radiohead allowed it, have you heard the original? It's alot more rock.
Yeah me too, I quite liked Uprising. I hear yr not going to their tour?! Explain...lol
Ah... true.
It's only because I watched it in Peru a few years ago.
Yes. For a couple of years now they have been experimenting with only running the cars on two days to save costs. They are able to this because while IRL teams moan as much as teams anywhere, the default setting is "well we don't really like, but its the same for everybody so we'll do our best". The atmosphere in the paddock is SO different to F1.
Um, just a few times ;-)
Birmingham is the nearest gig, and is too far away considering the prices wiuth travelling, accomadation, the gig itself, etc. Horrible shame but... bleh.
Desktop Doohickey can a be a bit of a pain when that happens
They can turn right?
To be fair, it didn't offer much with them either..
:D
The race is at a road course so if they can't turn right they have worse problems than leaving the pits
What's with the sleeping panda? Can they turn right?
I think that might mean 'Target Chip Ganassi are known..'.
But yeah it is like MotoGP in that the #1 is optional.
:-) I only tease
We (heart) pandas here
He was just sleeping, while you were busy
Well now I feel bad for waking the little guy up.
oooh sorry :(
i've been using the link button on doohickey, i can use LCLT if not?
Don't worry, he'll be sleeping somewhere on someone's screen.
Didn't it used to be Lou who would break the internet?
Is Jon taking her crown?
IRL need to take on more road courses, crowds have been Turkey-esque on the ovals
Does he ever get to meet the lady panda on the doohickey?
He's used to it :)
ohhh nooo, i havent become the doohickey breaker have i? boo
They bicker like brother and sister.
Not if he's sleeping I would assume.
they're the same link button.
for some reason the closing </a> tag goes missing, and i cant' figure out why?
it's there when i click the link button, and when i quote myself making a link its still there. tis uber odd :(
They are - next year's schedule was announced last week (paging Bernie, message for Bernie on line 1, fans want to make plans) and twisties outnumber ovals in 2010. It could be even if Milkwaukee is re-added.
Which broswer Jon?
tell me about it. don't worry, i'll keep looking into it.
Shameless plug.

It;s the awesome bar getting revenge for our comments about it's non awesomeness.
apparently, less than 800 is something worth celebrating:
that is quite insane!

go sidepodcast! oooooooonly 783 to go!
We need that on sidepodradio. Everyone who has an instrument they can play should upload a few minutes to http://drop.io/sidepodradio/ or skype them to sidepodcast. I would much rather use music from the community than from the podsafe list.
that's awesome! well done Christine (and mr c?) i'm on 900 now :( nearly there...
Just me, sadly.
How's the iPod Lou?
nothing to do with me.
i'll drop mine in a second.
i'll check.
You're both overdownloading :)
tis still impressive ;) i'm planning on catching up on a load on holiday, then again i'll have loads when i get back.. it's a vicious circle :(

but podcasts are great! i try to listen to all of them tbh. i have favourite podcasts (like spc) and some are topical for school like psychology ones, i get round to them eventually.
time for some dinner back soon
But thats what they will be expecting me to do. Gonna be more sneaky.
last item.
if i was a betting man i'd put money on you not listening to the educational ones before you're exams in june finish :p
So apparently, the playground is simply your to-do list made public now!
correct. on the plus side, my list got smaller :)
These podcasts you're all listening to... how long are they, generally-speaking? 'cos Total Minutes might change the picture ;-)
when the total time of them all is greater than the time you have left on this earth...then you have issues
Oooh, that's a whole new competition!
1.5 days. but that's including the listened-to shows.
OH MY GOSH!! I thought i saw a Ted facebook.....but it wasnt him, how disapointing :( :(
You have an app that tells you the latter?
9.7 days :D
It's just not fair that Butters got grounded for saving our imaginations. Not fair one bit.
19.5 days.
Just gonna wait for lou to top that.
I have 68 podcasts for 40mins shy of 2 days.
lost me..
South Park?
Oh yeah, sorry
For some reason I had the Playground bookmarked as a search page so didn't get the wishlist
rubbish :(
Of podcasts?
By the way, any MWM fans, it's just started.
Mike Conway was on the Honda program for a few years.
Season 11.

Please tell me you guys get SP in the UK.
If not, start with season 12 episode 3, Major Boobage.
Thats what it says in the little bar.
ooh franckage?
(I'm not here)
Hi, I heard about a number of podcasts shows competition somewhere else ;-). The only podcast I regularly listen to is Sidepodcast and I'm at the middle of the last Joe's aside (having listened all after that). So my count of 'podcast shows to listen' is actually 1/2 at the moment :-)
(I'm still not here)
Actually, that's probably quite easy
I've got 10.8 days inc listened to
potential franckage
Oh yeah
Scientology one was one of my faves
Found main cause, 5 days of 606.
on twit?
i saw nothing.
Yes but do you like fish sticks?

MWM suggesting liuzzi should've been up for the ferrari drive...
Liuzzi was up for it
Ferrari weren't
He should have?
Booo Badoer, boo.
WTH was that? Poor Danny. Kanye would be proud.
No more takers?

I think it was about body building but it makes me laugh EVERY time I see it
I love how he has to really think about what comes next

What will Eddie say?
Hehe, funny. I like the comments. YOU'LL GET SCURVY MAN!!!
i brought him into f1 and he's only in that seat this weekend because of me, me, me?
yeah, a blue bird told me to come here... :-)
(but of course, I'm not here, I don't listen to blue birds when I'm at work)
Oh yeah, of course
Evening all, again :P
Hey Scott
I have always supported Dario so I have to go for him
Am i the only one here that doesn't use itunes or an equivalent programme/website ?
You not adding to the list though?
Probably not but I bet it's a high proportion of us that do
how do you listen to sidepodcast / f1 minute?
If he says: You have podcasts?
:)
haha but i love psychology and the podcasts are pretty good :)
*waves*
you conveniently put it on the website :D
same question to pat :)
I don't
Once I catch up with comments I will
On my PC straight from the thread
I admire your completist attitude
RSS feed into Google Reader. Download to NAS drive and listen when I get round to it using Winamp.
Winamp has a podcast-subscribing capability but I never properly explored it.
fair enough. seems like lots of effort.
btw I tried the RSS link on the Show Selector but because I picked practically everything it was very similar to the feed I already use, except the post content wasn't previewed. so i left it
Not exactly realted, but I listened to the last podcast on my way to London. Made the journey all the more enjoyable. :)
understood. ta.
If I go to the wiki now I will enf up going through all the sidepodradio stuff.
What I should do is set up a feed for each show within Winamp using the new Selector.
fixing the damage apple software does to a windows pc is even more effort! :P
I might need one of these programes when i get my hero... will have to investigate...
I used sonic stage for a bit, but it just seemed easier to do everything directly though windows...
i'm not saying you have to use apple. but some form of podcatcher makes sense to me.
Not if I am sitting at my PC reading comments on the sme site. Zero effort involved compared to buying and setiing up an mp3 player.
How cool
I might have to get my Mac a BackPack
i NEED that!
good point.
You don't have an iMac or a Cinema Display
Do you?
sometimes. depends where i'm working.
Can you get a stack of them?
Ah, I see

Or my robots ;)
”Giancarlo Fisichello, of Force India, once identified by Ferrari as a star of the future, is also being mentioned after it became known that he would test-drive for the team next year”
Did anyone else know this? I had no idea! {Comment #502}
I didn't know Fisi was considering a Ferrari test drive at this point either - I thought after 2004 he'd regarded getting into Ferrari as something of a lost cause.
Mind you, Fisi has long been keen on racing for Ferrari but I've yet to see much evidence that it is mutual...
dont mind me, just testing phone :)
I've just been asked to go and watch a DVD with my sister so will catch ya later, or late tomorrow as I'm doing something for a bit then too. (she is moving to Spain next week!!).
Error. Does not compute. Please contact your network operator.
erm well.. i have 15.7 days of podcasts all together. i have no idea how many of those are new though cause loads of them are spc shows :)
We were talking about it earlier....
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/08/12/daily-12th-august-2009/#comment-433996
Anyone else know that Fisi is Ferrari's tester next year? (apparently)
thats a let down, we expected you'd have loooads. I think RG wiiiins
oh. ah well it means less space on my hard drive is taken up :D i've alrady got 17.04 GB of podcasts... something tells me i need to get listening..
See ya Pat
Enjoy
have fun
ahh, that is the problem of course.
I'll take this though as an unexpected win, much like Vettel at Monza.
Anyone else know that Fisi is Ferrari’s tester next year? (apparently) {Comment #863}
The quote said he would be Ferrari's tester, which is annoyingly ambiguous because it could simply mean Fisi wouldn't mind testing for Ferrari next year, as opposed to an agreement having been reached...
That's what External Hard Drives are for
2 x 1TB plus puter's internal
1 is for back-ups, mind
Ah yes, i've not seen it mensioned anywhere though, tis odd
i have an external hard drive... i just need to be bothered to move all my music over to it. then again it makes playing songs and podcasts on my laptop when i'm upstairs (and the hard drive is downstairs) difficult..
Networked Drive over WiFi
[NAS]
ooh i tried to do that a while ago.. i failed :(
I think not, if we're including all podcasts whether listened to or new, I've got 28 days, 21.85GB. Only 7 new ones though so I lose badly on that front :lol
wooooooah!
*Reluctantly passes over the trophy*
Or normal external hard drive into Apple Wireless Extreme (router thingy, pc compatible)
wow!
That's a lot of archiving
like LewHam at Spa :)
apple things are expensive though :(
But oh so lovely :D
Yeah, but this time the stewards didn't intervene.
You know there's a new Lamborghini laptop by Asus that has a terabyte of storage space on it. Standard.
it must be a fat bugger, they don't make 1tb drives that small do they?
A lot of the podcasts I listen to (mainly the Dr Who & 606 ones) are over an hour each, thank goodness I travel on the train every day or I'd have an inbox like Mrs C!
i know! :( i would love a mac book :( have been promised that dad will think about one next year though :) as a present for uni or something like that :D
Won't be long before solid state lappy drives are there
You can see a pattern here. 606 = Guaranteed lots of days.
No
It IS SSD
I know, have had to skip through a lot of cricket on the recent ones, thank goodness the football's back although not sure about the current England match
They have just been chatting about te 2cv race on radio lemans...
Et voila
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/03/03/asus_lamborghini_vx5/
woop woop :D
you got a pic of this, it must be huge?
If i need to convince my self i shouldnt be watching football, 5 mins of that show is enough!
Its why we won't win the world cup, we can't beat the big teams.
i'd also like to point out, a race 2cv is nothing like a 2cv with a roll cage and a seat in it, theres alot more too it. a team made this mistake thinking they could build a car over 1.5 days (thursday/friday) and only just made the start...and came last..
Apparently in the fog it got 'a little bit test match special' :P
yeah...that was me doing that bit....whoops.
there was nothing we could do tbh, we just played music and intermitantly said "we're still here, more info when we get it"....for 4 HOURS!!!
booo! :( stupid people i bought a compact flash card from on ebay sent me an SD card instead :( tis okay cause they are going to send the the CF card asap... after the SD card is returned which means i wont get my new CF card before my holiday :( damn.

There is a cloud...
Yeah, they are hiding behind it till you sleep
Then it's Mars Attacks! all the way baby
i keep jumping at any slight movement i spot cause i keep thinking it's a spider as i've not seen one yet this evening.
I am too sick for that much fun tonight, they will have to come back some other time
Have you got a barcode scanner handy?
sadly not. i do however have a huge thick hard back book :D

this was the fog :)
i was thinking more of throwing the book on the spider and killing it... then calling mum to help. however we've had 3 huge spiders in 3 days, surely the chance of a 4th one is small...
wooah! :o
Nice pic
Spooky!
and that was about as good as it got for 5.5 hours, it was worse at a few points
:P
http://www.flickr.com/photos/maisiehexagon/3814692327/in/set-72157622020981896/
nooo, this is spooky, 27 empty cars on a foggy grid, very odd
nice pics.
they not be mine, credit has to go to the webmasters (wife, i believe) who was snapping all weekend. between them they are the Mr and Mrs C of 2CV racing...they be media mad!!
i likes the sound of that!
they be truly awesome people, made me feel very welcome :)
ahahaha

yours is soooo much better
Phew, just survived a spider scare. Was a big one too. Thank god for parents.
Throw a bed a... oh it's too late. Well congrats you survived friend.
Erm, I did sorta hide under the bed.
Not under the bed, thats sorta hard. Like under the duvet.
what IS it with spiders atm. are they trying to take over or something?
i did that yesterday! :D
awww, wow!!!
awesome! :D
No, bikes are trying to take over. But they are using spiders as those 'pilot fish'
I still think the moths and spiders are in plans together against us Sidepodders. Hell after listening to Uprising telling me the whole world is part of a conspiracy, I think everything is in plans to take us all down. Toasters, socks, fireplaces, everything. It's all a big conspiracy to annoy us. Damn conspiracies.
Better put my tinfoil hat back on before the pigeons steal my thoughts again.

Its not as bad as the one in harry potter... or LOTR ;)
Some nice images for you to think about :D
Don't click on it, don't do it, don't think about it.
It's a bike
ah they are fine. cause they are obviously fake ;) AND in a film... not next to me :D
#
Thats what they want you to think ;)
Good lord. I did NOT expect that.
This one... I think this was me
please don't say that... it's in a film :P ...
hmmm. suspicious...
this is because i cant reach the keyboard properly from where i am laying...
understood.
Listening to songs in 8 bit form is freakin' awesome. That is all.
8-bit form?
For you, sir.
Explaining it myself would be a disaster. :)
evening all. Today, I unfortunately turned 20. I'm no longer a teenager :(
Quick question, why is the now show on the drop?
If Helio is taken, I'll add myself later when I decide if it's going to be Tony Kanan or Paul Tracy (just because they where driven when I stop watching CART...)
ahh, with you.
ya clearly didn't have to grow up listening to it!
I did! I've always had a strange soft spot for music from the nes era and megadrive and stuff. Probably the synthy sound. anything synthy tends to get into my good books ;)
Bit of a strange one I know.
someone lost their copy. gavin maybe?
evening chris. and happy birthday :D
Happy birthday chris!
*gives you a birthday poke* :p
did you have cake?
Happy Birthday Chris!!
Happy Birthday Chris!! Amy's gonna want pics of the cake
Happy birthday Chris.
Sort of. I recieved one, but I'm saving it for work tomorrow.
Thanks to all for the birthday wishes
Here you go, mr c. The Final Countdown in 8 bit.
:D
How can something so strange be so good?
Ahh, we don't poke em, we punch em. But since I like Chris, I'll just wish him a good happy birthday!
Could be interesting, it's one of those sainsburys cakes that has a photo printed on the top of it. My grandpa made a montage of old photos of me to use on the cake.
Wait until you turn 28, you'll be still young, but wise... ;-)
awwww thats really nice :)

i'll raise your 8-bit and return you some deep sunshine.
i was excited by cake. sorry.
oh dear...
That took about 9 seconds for me to nearly choke on my drink
I can understand entirely!
And the crowd sing
'Are you Hindhaugh in disguise'
Ok this is immense. Mr C win.
best.cover.ever. wait until he does his own delay effect.
hehe :D
ah yes, i have heard this before. woop
i think the keyboard has a gameboy.
Genius!!

Alot is added to it by the man who walks past at 1:50

at one point i and a few others, almost had chance to meet joey tempest. the plan was to play him that. i figure he'd have said the same.
Oh dear. My wiki edit skills are lacking.
Europe might as well say that deep Sunshine have made the song theirs in the same way NIN said about Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. That cover simply is out of this world. Kudos to you, Deep Sunshine.

Right click in a row to get options
I trust you know how to add text :D
I want to shake their hands. That is a genius cover. And that's actuallty serious, it is!
Right click in a wiki? Who ever heard of such a thing
Or go onto the last row and press the down arrow.
mmmm :D
check out the solo!
Is that what all these letters in a box in front of me are for?
rg, he knows all the shortcuts.
Hopefully. :)
Yeah, all done. Just ask round these parts if you ever need any more help
Ah, I've been just selecting and pasting them from character map for years
Thanks. I am used to mediwiki where it's all strictly editing with weird characters
don't laugh. let's see you manage with mo question mark :P
:D :D
I am unable to comprehend a word within the English language to sum up how FABTABULOUS that was.

I'll introduce New Rising to the fray. They aren't doing a cover (I don't think they do covers), but I saw them live at an acoustic night once. They were so good, I bought their album off them!

You have no question mark???? (Just rubbing it in)
? :)
Thanks, we did. Went to Mum's for a bit wine, catch-up, and a film. Can you believe I never watched Mr Deeds before? Good film.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRwVPN7OBSI&feature=related

I have a Caps Lock key I can spare.
I can even do them standing on my head ¿¿¿¿
:cry:
:o
*rubs eyes*
aww Mr C you can have my question mark...?
;)
He has stolen half of Amy's as well!
If anyone steals mine. There will be war.
Unless you have spiders, then I surrender.
They are totally awesome
What if fkm signs on to the wiki and wants to support himself but finds his slot taken by Mrs C?
He'll have to support Mrs C instead
Can i have yourself please
http://bit.ly/17RPQ1
Go oooon, click, you know you want to
*faints*
Lou, don't click it ever. I mean it, ever.
In fact, I'm clicking no more links, I don't trust anyone.
Damn.
Tried, way too cloudy here.
Seeing as I know someone who has panic attacks when she sees a spider, I agree with RG on this!
look like one I had at home a few months ago. I should have a picture of it somewhere...
Oh no. I don't know if that is a spider or Timo. Or something else that I may like.
That's just mean!
Mr Lukeh, i sallute you
Oh and lukeh, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DDisTxXz00&feature=related
for your continued addiction
!!!
May need to think this through a bit more.
was tempted to photoshop Timo in a greggs sausage roll.
Then I creeped myself out.
Hehe. This is a spider, I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I like spiders, they are amazing creatures. No need to be scared.
http://www.eyefetch.com/image.aspx?ID=676023
s'alright,i got lukeh to check the last one for me, and he just told me not to click this one :D so i'm doing as i'm told. :)
You could have Timo eating a greggsy's sausage roll...
I think you need to go and have a lie down...
That makes a LOT more sense.
hmm 'Spider' Could be a good name...
Especialy for a web developer :P
Here's a perfect picture for RG
hehe.
what the?! how the !?!
*Explodes*
Commiserations, but also congratulations, 'cos the 20s are better.
The power of Photoshop! (I assume...)
No, that's actually real!
Sweet, sweet years.
Till Toyota nicked him.
i can believe both of you tbh, lukeh photoshop ability is totally amazing
Test driver for BMW in 07 I believe.

Lou, RG, don't click on it. The rest can count the eyes... ;-)
That sentance scares me
There aren't enough harp players with flowerpots on their heads.
Thats a lot of eyes.
And a lot of big teeth!
I think there are grounds to be afraid of that spider!
that cannot be real?
don't worry, no spider or human was hurt in the making of that image. the spider was safely conducted to the outside with the help of sheet of paper
That's a great photo
I am surprised it didnt eat the paper!
it's not only real, it was alive! and I realized only after I took several pictures
I gtg. Need to be u[ early for work. Night!
see ya chris.
Night sir.
Gnight Chris.
it wasn't even scared of the paper when I started to push it towards the door. it was hot and nice inside :-)
night chris
Night Chris
I don't get this irrational fear of something that's probably more scared of you. Spiders are lovely, we actively encourage them.
thanks :-)
Night Chris
they dont really bother me, but i kil them if i get the chance just to be on the safe side...
I'm with you. I don't fear them, I even try not to disturb the ones that make webs in my roof and corners ;-)
That's mean. Or do you get the poisonous ones?
Lot's of people here just leave a huntsman spider alone. If you get rid of it, another one will just take it's place.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_spider
Now I do like that :-)
My family come over from australia so there is a chance they could have brought one along whcih could be poisonous.
Ingeneral they get away, i kill them if they look evil, its nothing personal, i have been bitten by a spider (verry minor) and i dont want to be again
out to see 'The Great Dictator' on big screen. see you later/tomorrow
my opinion is simple. they don't pay rent so the can chuff off. i don't remember inviting them?
They eat flies. That's fine by me.
i don't invite flies either. they too are shown the door (except for one, but i digress).
You have a pet fly? :lol:
one once got the better of me and put me out of action for a couple of days.
i think i may have killed it, but i don't remember.
