Swedish Saturday

I hope you brought your Rekorderlig Cider because today we go on a SidepodTrek to beautiful Sweden. Use this to help you order it. Välkommen till Svenska Lördag! [Welcome to Swedish Saturday]

Saturday is one of my favorite days and, being of Swedish and Finnish heritage, Sweden is one of my favorite places, so it was a natural fit. What? Oh yes, of course there’s a lot more to Sweden than pickled herring and VIkings. They have

Former F1 drivers Ronnie Peterson and Stefan Johansson, who now manages IndyCar’s Scott Dixon.
(had) an F1 GP hosted at Anderstorp from 1973-1978.
and nowadays they have a WRC Rally race and driver, Per-Gunnar Andersson.

Gamla Stan

I can tell you from experience that technology and efficiency rate high on their list of values, so I highly recommend a visit if you can manage it. Stockholm is gorgeous, sometimes called the Paris of the North, spreading across 14 islands. A walk through Old Town (Gamla Stan) is a must, with all the restaurants and shops. Or you can travel to the nearby archipelago. Remember if you go in June you can have 24 hour sunlight. For the dark winters the Swedes indulge their zeal for hockey with local rivalries like Hammerby vs. AIK. When I was in the AIK rink I was told the ice in the hockey rinks in Sweden are kept colder than those in the States for faster ice.

Because Sweden is so far north and with the cold in the winter I bet there’s some great stargazing to be done there. I’ve always wanted to see the Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis, and that’s where I’d like to do it. But tonight you can see if you can see the Perseid Meteor Shower if that pesky full moon doesn’t ruin it. There’s hope, though, because the Perseids can be quite plentiful and visible.

F1 Shopping Lists

Inspired by a comment from Journeyer today about Williams’ current shopping list, I wondered if you could add some items to other teams’ shopping list. What does Force India need? McLaren? Red Bull?

F1 Links

Manipe looks at Who’s Going Where in 2012 with a list of drivers and teams
For breaks, or off season doldrums, or for all the time
Summer Swap Shop is on, with an interesting discussion continuing about driver performance
Please add a couple of F1 Shows Never to be Broadcast if you’re feeling creative. I know we have a few more in us
The Renault World Series is next weekend, and several Sidepodders are going, so hopefully they’ll be able to get together. Maybe they’ll even bring some stickers.

While F1 is on their break

IndyCar is at Loudon, New Hampshire this weekend for the first time in 13 years. Here’s some of the latest news, including some details about Justin Wilson’s height being a factor in his serious back injury last weekend at Ohio . We hope he’s better soon, and that the new cars will be safer for a guy who’s 6’3”.

And let me take a moment to appreciate the wonderful group of people we get to spend time with here. See you in the comments, everyone!

I can technically see Sweden from my house, as I can see the bridge. This pic was taken at the beach down the road: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubbergoat/5089543493/in/set-72157625058347051

Do they still have WTCC? Falkenberg isn't too far from me but I think it's disused.

No other channel would want it thats for sure. I think they allowed for a restructuring of the system of Britain as well.

Most of its stars either faded or retired and were replaced by some of the blandest competitors imaginable, except for Ronnie that is.

He needs a Timo Glock who could keep the Toyota on the track long enough to stop Nicole Sherzinger from having a fit in the Interlagos pitlane. (I'm personally glad he couldn't)

he has a vested interest in making the sport successful. they should bench a different driver every race, see how hard it is to follow. it'll be fixed in a matter of weeks.
Do you remember when Ross Brawn took his sabbatical from F1 a few years back and was shocked at the TV coverage - he never knew beforehand, because he was always on the wall competing.

Golf time, hope it isn't too windy/rainy when we get there! Last time out was a personal best so I need a clear day to beat it again. :)
One short short, stupid 15th hole :(
Not bad though

:) I'll be having a shower before settling in with a nice beer or three.
I took 11 shots on that hole when it ought (for me) to have been 6 or 7, I'd have smashed the personal best if it weren't for the ground being in the way of my club.

Seeing the number of drivers who only do a few races per year I wonder if they do that on purpose already. :)
Apparently the problem is ABC?

There's no qualifying for any races broadcast on ABC, bar the 500 which has quali on Versus

@curtcavin: @PippaMann tough weekend just got tougher. After three spins, finally crashed. This was a real one. Lots of damage.
Apparently she missed the SAFER barrier and hit the actual concrete wall in turn 4

Boy, you really wanted to kill that worm, didn't you.... Your worm-phobia really must be put under control if you want to improve your golf. Head to a live bait section of a fishing store until you calm down...

Silly how paiting Scottish Napoleonic Miniatures has bought me back to Sidepodcast, but has there been a finalized version of the Sidepodcast Tartan ?
I think my "dark blue" paint is apparently far too dark for a "Black Watch" tartan...

Well, no in the sense that it got me to remember that Sidepodcast was working own its Tartan, which your could say is/was based on a Finnish Flag or a real Cameron Tartan... As
to Napoleonic as to say something more modern, the kilt has been in camo colours (khaki) since WWI, so gone is the differnet colourful clan tartans, at least for service dress....

That must have been something! Was it alone or did it have an escort or two?I love old warbirds, much nicer than anything out there today, except perhaps for the C-17.

Nah...... just its four Merlins cruising at 1500 feet on approach.... You can hear it from a mile away, and just by the sound you know exactly what it is..... But, you should bug me on my facebook account as I have some decent shots of it in flight an in the hanger...

It's a regular occurance! But if that is what you like then check ou this website: http://www.warplane.com. Most of the clunkers still fly. the jets do not,as they can not find a qualified pilot on staff.

oooh, I forgot to pass on a message to mr c but I'll leave it here for when he pops his head back into the comments.
When I met up with a uni friend the other day I asked him why Nicky Wire enjoys wearing skirts so much (he's his cousin so I guessed he'd know), especially on stage when he decides to kick up in the air a lot, and he also has no idea why :) he just enjoys wearing them for the sake of wearing them. Also told me that feather boas are all over his home, not just on stage. For some reason I picture his house like a massive version of their stage show with strobe lights, mannequins, welsh flags and feather boas everywhere...
