Boo!!! Hope I didn't scare you, Lukeh here 24 hours later than usual to send you into Saturday after I sadly couldn't find the time yesterday to write up the daily. What better way to make up for this than to write today's daily post? There is lots of stuff to be talking about today what with every sport in the world ever created seemingly in action this weekend. OK, maybe not all of them (the mad world of Curling needs a rest here and there I suppose) but let's see nevertheless what the bullet points have to offer:
- It's only fair to kick things off with Formula 1 news, what with Sidepodcast apparently being an F1 website. And Le Mans. And World Cup. But shh, that's crazy talk. You're crazy. No, I'm only kidding, you rock. Anyways, Free Practise 1 and 2 took place yesterday and generally overcast settings only add to the prediction of a wet weekend approaching in Montreal. Personally the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is so good it doesn't need rain to be good but it's still welcome for sure. Remember the wibbly wobbly nature of time zones means that Qualifying today is at 6pm BST. I'm useless at conversion so here is a converter to help if you want to know when it's on for you.
- Oh yeah, you may have heard of that World Cup competition that's on right now. Excuse me for a second... WOO!!! I love the World Cup, and yesterday saw the two opening matches played in which we all had a chat about whilst watching. Even if you don't like football it's good fun watching it with commentors. Today's World Cup games include...
- South Korea vs Greece - 12:30pm BST
- Argentina vs Nigeria - 3:00pm BST
- England vs USA - 7:30pm BST
- We go back to motorsport in the reminder that Le Mans is this weekend and that it starts today at 2pm BST so there's yet another bookmark to add to a day that's jam packed full of sport as I warned you. Pat and Alianora's guide is absolutely worth checking out as it has everything Le Mans you need to know about and a fantastic collection of information for the big race. Sebastien Bourdais is in the team that start on pole position but I'm wishing all my luck to Anthony Davidson, Alex Wurz and Marc Gene because Wurz and Davidson are just awesome. Marc Gene... urm, yes. Good luck guys!!
- Now for a random collection of news, updates and bits and bobs to finish today's daily! Hurrah! Eurogamer posted a quite fantastic hands-on preview of Formula 1 2010 in which plenty of new screenshots were unveiled and a lot of details were explained once more. It really does sound quite fantastic, 3 more months to go!! Saturday also means today is Doctor Who day (YAY!!!) and tonight's episode features James Corden (Nay...) so I won't be in a rush to watch it I'm afraid. A possible alternative if you're like me is to perhaps give the free (to UK people, sorry!) adventure game available to download for the PC. It's actually quite good, so go on!! You know you want to.
So, that is me done for another week I'm afraid. I hope I didn't scare you by thinking it's Friday again but I promise you it is the weekend so go and enjoy your weekend! Although with all the sport that is on, I can understand if you stay in and join us. We at Sidepodcast believe outside is silly anyways. Here is a detailed diagram I drew to explain this. So, if you do choose to stay in and watch all this totally awesome sport, then please remember to join us in the comments! We may even give you hugs and cookies. See you in the comments!
Ohhh, the South Korea-Greece match is first... well, I'll treat myself to an extended lie in there.
The diagram at the end sums up everything that needs to be said about tomorrow :) and with that I bid you all goodnight!
lukeh daily?
*boom*
The outside, pfffft, world cup, racing, darts (probably) what could be better?
Night mate.
:)
Rightio. I'm ready for bed now. I really should have been asleep hours ago. Night folks
Nice picture btw Lukeh :P
Night Lukeh, Alison and anyone else leaving
Night to the leavers
Although he should really buy a couch
:lol:
FP3 is flash video on the BBC, right?
Looks like I'll miss both sessions :(
yup, like about 75% of the internet videos online.
it will change, but not for a couple of years.
Story folks,
Just a quick hit and run I'm afraid, but the FP1 report is up (FP2 follows tomorrow morning - sleep, etc...) with a full day 2 run through tomorrow night

:)
We're back
It's already started though, which is good
If it was on tv, I'd be ok, but it's web or red button
Enforced quiet time or...
been busy editing
Is ok, was just checking if the site was still up. Am heading of soon
80s euro Mullet alert. I bought this at the time. I was only young. that's my excuse anyway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JExXl6nOSPQ
That, should not be encouraged
just got around to reading lukeh's daily. have fixed the bullet point issue. mini mr. c. has much to learn.
still a brilliant daily though. how come we haven't had lou live commenting football yet?
Revision
ahh, boo. i hope *revision* doesn't last exactly four weeks.
I think she was turning the internet off
i guess that explains twitters downtime.
:D
Hooray for Lou getting my present!
Just got back from my Evening (Audience) with Joe... FANTASTIC!
Thanks Joe!
Yay bert! Any special guests this time?
Cool ! Good stories?
I'm in for a crazy busy day before you even get to sports, and what better way to start than waking up way too early and not being able to get back to sleep?
How are we all? Yay for Luke's daily!
sadly I am used to this mad te of the day on a Saturday. Madness it is.
Also, I see bullet points in bullet points!! Mind =blown
*time
Lukeh-san :)
I think all of Britain should get up early because I am SO bored at work.
All of Britain up early just for Amy? We'd need some organisation to make that happen.
Woah. Our old wiki just got spammed something horrid. Good timing for a move.
Maybe not everyone, just enough people to keep the comments flowing so I have something to read.
Ah yes. I am not very good at this entertaining lark :)
You do a fine job :D
sun is shining ..... yay!!
It is positively freezing here. Who invented this winter thing anyway? Why cant we just have spring-summer-autumn-spring?
that would be good
What is this I am watching on Eurosport that the guide tells me is live Le Mans?
England v Aus in rugby. This is a good start to the evening
That doesn't start for about 4 hours does it?
precisely. So I have no idea what I'm watching because Eurosport says its live.
you missed NZ v Ireland, that was a good start :D
Warm up races? What sort of cars?
That doesn't sound very fair. I hope NZ weren't too mean.
I don't know what sort of cars they are, heh, all I can tell you is that they're "not F1 cars"
The warm up is already finished so I assume its some sort of support race but I didn't realise they had any.
I think they sometime have Group C, which are the old cars from the 80s.
I didn't see it all, even though we beat them by a fair bit apparently we were playing badly and there should be "room for concern" for the All Blacks. Only 7 weeks til I can see them at the Bledisloe!
apparently its "11:05 – 11:50 Race GP ELEC"
I wouldn't be too worried about Aus from what I saw last week, but we will see what happens tonight
ahh, yes, Group C legends of the 80s. After watching for almost an hour the commentators finally tell me :D
Oooo cool. Love them.
they said something about Ross Brawn. I don't understand sports cars.
I think he was involved with the jaguars sports cars maybe?
they've all started crashing
Now I see them. The silk cut car is a jaguar
I can't tell what a car is just by looking at it. Except for the silver one that says 'Mercedes Benz'
although that one also says Jaguar all over it. Oops.
I used to know:
Rothmans=Porsche
Silk cut =jaguar
Silver=Mercedes
right, time to watch the rugby I guess. 2 hours of work to go!
I'm getting ridiculously excited about today and tomorrow, but I'm attempting to discipline myself enough to do Part 2 of the survey result analysis.
Finally, aussi try. About time!
It is always very exciting when Backstreet Boys are on the actual radio.*sings*
I heard them in the mall yesterday! I was singing in my head.
Yay another try. This is better
Morning
I had a mega sleep. Might just wander down the road to pick up a coffee, much nicer than the stuff I've got in the house..
Afternoon all
Just getting ready to leave for Dublin, have an awesome weekend of sport
I'll try to fit some in too, between pints of Arthur Guinness' finest
Yes! Aus 27 England 17 :-)
Ok, hoping I can grab some WiFi at Heathrow
Laters folks
Awesome sunny day outside, why can't they hold sport on days with bad weather :)
Not all sports require bad weather to be exciting you know. :P
They require me to be sat in a fairly dark living room when I've just been walking round a buzzing, sunny, bustling town :(
My room light just burned out yesterday, so guess i will be in a similar situation. ;)
gosh, I missed a lot of comments after I stopped doohickeying at work!
You missed a New Zealand referee at a world cup match. You can catch the 2nd half now though.
Afternoon all! How are we today?
I'm having to juggle 3 threads here at SPC. What the hell?!?!?!?
Hi guys BTW.
Busy weekend. It'll get worse when FP3 starts!
Great. Come watch football! S. Korea is leading. :D
Hello.
Hey Chris and TM
Les mans feed not working, so will do!
ooh, just got it working.
I am now watching tennis, just to add a fourth to the mix.
Queens or Halle?
Halle

if anyone asks Steve Tee is now among my favourite F1 photographers.. he works for LAT... and lives near me, that's all i need to know :P
I also love that the mclaren webcam is still running...
okay, since i've no idea how many people are using doohickey.. (am guessing people are using live commenting.. i shall leave you all to your football and le mans talk. I'm off to do some felting, revision and maybe sleep.
If i'm not back later, i'll see you all for the race tomorrow! :) someone cheer on Ant for me :) xxx
Byeee
evening everyone :)
Am I writing tomorrow's world cup post?
I was just going to watch Q3 as I got a bit distracted and wandered off. Can someone please confirm I'm not mad, there really is some weird German guy talking loudly over this?!?
