Free Practice Friday has reached us once more and we are in Brazil, this time not for the last race of the year. It feels very odd to think that there's another race after Brazil, and it will feel even stranger if the championship is decided this race. Nevertheless, here's what we're talking about at the moment:
- Renault have blogged about their process for setting up in Brazil, with some added photos in there as well. You can already tell from their pictures that the weather is not great. Goodness knows what we're in for this weekend, but the weather forecasts suggest rain, rain and a little bit more rain on top.
- Rich has written about the way the driver market is looking from within each team, with some interesting thoughts about who is confirmed and who isn't. We're nowhere near the end of silly season yet, so I hope to see more blogs like this, please.
- It seems as though the Massa/Alonso rivalry is hotting up already and the pair aren't even teammates yet. Massa has said some things and others have said Massa didn't really mean it, and then he backtracked a little bit and in the end Alonso said it doesn't bother him. I have a feeling it's going to be a long year for Ferrari next season.
That's all for now. We'll be along with live commenting threads and suchlike later on in the day - I quite like these late starts for sessions in the UK. I will see you in the comments.
Happy birthday Jon

Tomorrow: Oxford with the fam
Oooo foreign language greetings now. Well in that case, Tanti Aguri Jon!
You're going to Alonso's place? ;)
I thought his surname was Suzuki? ;)
I thought it was Super Aguri?
Me and Nando, we're like *that*
Bullying!!! :(
yeah!!! you better run Mr Christine ;)
I think he did already. I've not been saved from playground bullies that's for sure.
Who's bullying you?
Do I need to call for my white horse?
They're making fun of my Italian!!! It wasn't that pesky Nick though so I think you an put the horse away.
*other browsers are available
**other handheld devices are available
:P
:(
Seems to me they are pointing out the similarities between an Italian phrase and a popular figure in motorsport.
You said I was a loose woman!
Nick, I think you know where you are headed.
Go on, off you go....
:lol:
I never said id seen you on TV!
& you said it not me :P
DIdnt you say something similar when you got a job or am i mistaking you ;)
*Trudges of to Ubuntu
Can you use an orange drill on a white horse?
As long as you don't ask him to shave....
You'll get the RSPCA on ya if you do
Of course you can
Either a cordless one or with a very, very long extension lead
This is true
:D
going to bed. bye!

G'night Guille
Oh my god. Stalker.....
Night Guille
I have an early start so i think i shall turn in
Sorry Alison i only meant it as a bit of a pun, please dont take it to seriously
Night all!
Mr C made a search!
Which didn't seem to work btw
I have a second date on Saturday with another though can't remember if I shaved on that occasion
I'm not offended :P
Night.
Oh good, Didnt want to come across as a meanie ;)
See ya Nick
[checks outside to see if dawn has arrived early]
Night Nick
Well you obviously are a meanie! That's a seperate issue.
Dawn means i'm going to Slough...and i want to avoid Slough
Who does??
bah?
Night those who are leaving
At least you're going for good reasons
Birthday ones! :D
Nooooo, thats this morning, Nando's is about 100m from where i am now. Slough is where i get to go to enjoy the wonderful delights of East Berkshire College! Engineering module friday!
Has anyone watched this http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00n9105/Its_Only_a_Theory_Episode_2/ ? I watched the first episode last week.
Ooh, I think that's the college where my predecessors did the academics during their apprenticeship.
I did mine at Weybridge
No, any good
Was about to watch this week's Mck The Week & Buzzcocks
I have just started the second episode. The first one was very entertaining
Riiiiiiiight, bed for me!! Night all
Seems that was a lie. Not a good night at all.
Night Jon
So you decided not to sleep then?
yep. Only 4 more hours to go until breakfast.
Are you planning some sleep between now and then?
G'night Jon
nope. I have labs today from 8-14. I hope I won't burn down the uni
You should get some sleep. Burning fown th uni will not help you get your degree
Is Christine blogging from the past? The timestamp of the latest mfc is from 30.11.1990. Or is that just my feedreader playing up again?
that's fine. I like being a student
When I originally clicked on the link I got a could not be found message so it may be related to that
15/10/2009 for me?
james has truncated his posts again.
Can you be a student if you burn down the uni
tis ok for me. where was the error?
I won't tell them.
Not sure. I clicked on the link on the daily and the url that came up looked right to me but I got a could not be found. I posted a comment at the time. I just went to the mfc home page and found it
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/mfcfromthepast-png
Why would you change your rss feed (at least) twice a day?
how odd. shall poke around.
cannot imagine. they must be experimenting?
deleted the item and updated feed and all is well. I just thought it was amusing :)
media|distantpast|change
My former flatmate and me had this little fight. She would turn the fridge colder when she came home and I would turn it down again (because I really don't like frozen vegetables) and then she changed it again. Are there two mods responsible for James' blog?
ooh. could be mod vs. james.
one wants revenue and one wants full feeds?
He he, sounds like it
Dial gestures
Does James know how to do that?
good point. maybe not.
speak volumes...
Maybe he once told Ted his password and he's messing with him
:D
me, have you heard from Ollie?
He tweeted yesterday I think
Morning, everyone. I saw Joe's post on Donington Bond, and I was shocked when I saw this comment from BritsOnPole:
Whoa.
Hi Journeyer
Odd news
Very odd indeed. Are they the type to do investments? And they actually prefer Donington over Silverstone?
If McLaren are willing to buy, surely there are other companies willing to do it too. Donington may get saved just yet.
Or be used as a cheap test track
I guess that's possible. But if they'll get the money needed to become a cheap test track, that's also the money that will allow them to take over the British GP.
Hello
I have doubts that they'll make the deadline, if it ever arrives
hello, can't you sleep either?
Hey salti. Up so late?
Hey Jackie
Well, the deadline is now a legal deadline (and it's not one set by Bernie, for once), so surely it has to arrive now?
Yep .. apparently I forgot to download the Spa penalties for my 2008 blog thing so I was ammending the data and issuing an apology
Nope, is this where the fun is at?
Yep. Always is. :D
ahh good. no i hadn't.
:D
oops. deserved of another plug though?
probably not, I'm afraid when Mav told me I went into a bit of a huff and almost deleted the thing. Still I have owned up the the mistake and hopefully I've got it right now
Large post quoting articles coming up [members only I think]
In fact, it making me question my commitment to the site
The backers of Donington Park have had to sweeten the terms of a £145m funding package it needs to stage next year's British Grand Prix in a bid to tempt potential investors.
Redacted.
Thanks much, Bassano.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f9c2b216-b922-11de-98ee-00144feab49a.html?nclick_check=1
Thanks Bassano. BTW you can register on FT for free and have access to up to 10 articles per month I think it is for free. After that you have to pay.
no need for that. we all make mistakes, no-one's going to hold it against ya.
it's a great post, which people should read.
That's what I do
Why that?
better off without me
Interetins mix of people. But...
They're still short one major investor. If they're only looking for the one investor, and they have 10 days to do it, they have a chance.
Nonsense
that is so not true jackie!
Whaaat? No way. You're a pillar of the site. :)
I meant interesting. Gah. :D
I'll hopefully get over the shame by morning.. the slamming the computer shut whilst speaking to Mav .. hmm, we'll see (that's another apology I need to write)
Silly question time, is Donington likely to provide better racing or a better fan experience if it does get the gig. The atmosphere at Silverstone must be hard to beat.
There's a lot of love for Silverstone but the British fans would be overjoyed just to have a race I think
i appreciate, that having put effort into something and being proud that it's done, only to have realise an error is very tough. but it's the kind of thing that you won't do twice.
if it helps, i recall the first mini-series or two that christine did, nearly killing her, because in every episode she put out someone picked a hole or three. and they were right to pick holes, because facts were incorrect, but fixing audio files is so damn hard that it took quite some persuading to motivate the poor lady to do another one.
now though, it's fine, right? and it's the same with blogging. don't give up.
That's true but I must admit I'm not overjoyed at the prospect of an hour long walk to the circuit after getting abandoned by public transport arangements
There is nothing to be ashamed of. I haven't caught up to everything yet but you just forgot a race or something right? There are people being paid that make much worse mistakes. The great thing about blogs is that someone will post a comment pointing it out and you can correct it (and picking out mistakes is much easier than actually writing something worthwhile). I can understand you want to be perfect but that's impossible to archive and people don't like perfectionist much either ;)
*from the depths of sleep* http://gulfnews.com/sport/motorsport/i-have-highest-praise-for-abu-dhabi-1.512348 Interesting interview with Bernard
The teamn have no need to expend their cash reserves ahead of a major restructuing.
I must be dreaming, that makes absoloutley no sense
That makes even less, you are awesome, dont let a mistake or 2 get you down
*gets in flying car to compete in 2030 Antarctic GP*
thanks for the encouragement, it's the feeling of letting others down that's getting to me at the moment
McLaren are restructuring?
But we understand that none of us are perfect. Mr C is right though, it's a learning experience
Chin up Jackie, it'd be a shame to lose your input
Maybe I need another post "the reluctant blogger" :D
There is someone new in the spc league who bumped me out of the top5. *grr*
They'd have to be some sort of F1 Gordon Gecko wouldn't they?
I've kinda given up on fantasy racers, don't know why really, I just got bored.
i should say christine may not appreciate me bringing that up, so let's offer some balance...
a week before our first live debrief, we realised that i may not have the ability to speak out loud in actual coherent sentences. we'd done live videos before, but i never had to speak into a microphone, it was always christine.
recording debriefs offline was easy(ier) because i could work out the point i was aiming for and actually to get to that point in under a minute(ish). in a live situation i basically ran out of talent and it was looking to be a disaster.
because we'd bought equipment and worked specifically on a live show format i spent a whole week feeling awful, but christine kicked me up the bum and set me straight and we did a live show that wasn't completely terrible. mostly i was lacking confidence (and still some talent), but that's why you have people around to support you.
i am in awe of all bloggers who blog on their own, i have no idea how they keep it up.
oh no!
:D :D :P
Wondered if anyone would remember that one ;)
I'm hungry.. wonder if there's still anywhere open for snackies
:( but I can understand it
But you have also been trying the new rules game? Is that any better?
7-Eleven or a 24hr supermarket?
Driver prices are still variable though, aren't they?
That's what turned me off it all
I'd have to get dresses again lol but I'm thinking about it.
dressed
they don't sell dresses.
There's always the cereal or toast option
;)
My local Sainsbury's do but :lol:
maybe a 24 hour Adsa would lol
the team manager reports are ace though. we have to do more with that next year.
I don't like it
because I'm rubbishbecause it's mostly luck. But maybe this year is too I just don't notice because my team is so rich.Mwah hah haaaaah!
yeah and next year you may have the team that scored the most points but you might still loose money compared to other players.
But you have to applaud Danny for trying out all these ideas and listening to what the players suggest
:D I'm chasing you down, Nick! :D
Agreed.
Hunger has got the better of me .. will be back in 15 mins if anyone is still awake.. I may drop photo's :)
of course, he tried to write the rules in a way so that as many people as possible will have a chance of winning up to the last races. And I think he succeeded. I just liked the stock market :)
Meanwhile, STILL no Japan race edit. I'm shocked - they've had two whole weeks to finish it...
:P
and I liked having 9 drivers. There have been some people complaining this year that the races are boring but they weren't really for me. I had my nine drivers to keep tap on and also the 9 drivers of my closest rivals. I had this list with the drivers of the top5 and every time one of theirs fell down the order I had something to cheer and scratched them off the list. Made this year much more entertaining. :D
Can I just say that sounds absolutely evil. :P You sound like a scheming Mafioso, complete with evil laugh. :D
exactly like that *evil grin*
Good thing you're not in contention in the 2010 championship. Not yet, anyway... :D
*sulks*
I'm actually surprised I'm doing this well in the 2010 rules. I'm still afraid you'll mount a comeback though and suddenly pop up in the top 3. You did make up 3 places in Japan, after all...
no chance :)
so the choice is ice-cream or pot noodle?
What kind of ice-cream?
Haagen Dazs strawberry cheesecake
Pot noodle
I thought there would be no-one here when I popped back in but I had nearly 100 comments in the last hour.
I am surprised about McLaren being involved with Donington. I wonder how long they have been involved.
Jackie,
PF would not be better off without you. So you made a mistake. We all do. I wrote a post 5 races into the 2008 season explaining in detail why kimi and Massa would be the lead Ferrari driver in the championship. It was all wonderfully logical and perfect. unfortunately neither of the drivers read it and I ended up looking like an idiot. It happens.
Anyone who is prepared to express an opinion or put up a post is occasionally going to get it wrong but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do it. None of us would b having this discussion now if the only people blogging were those that had never made a mistake.
I tried B&J's. I didn't like that.
Ice cream. No contest
YUM
Are you in a savoury or sweet mood?
Try their Cherry Garcia. That is incredible. I haven't had it in years and I want it now.
I think, since I haven't eaten anything hot at all yesterday I'll have the pot noodle and if that's not enough to make me sick, I'll start on the ice-cream
Sounds like a fine plan
they don't have that here :(
I don't know if they still do it. It was a long time ago I last had it and I hadn't thought about it till you mentioned it.
I'm so wide wake, I don't think I'll be going to bed
What time is FP starting, quite late in the day I'd think
Good news. They still do it here.
Wow I just had my first ever Kernel panic. Cool!
According to http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/10/14/brazil-schedule/ 13:55
Friday, Free Practice 1: 13:55
Thank you :)
I have never heard anyone think panicking is cool
What's that?
Booo!
I had a series of those a while ago, annoying
When a Linux/Mac machine spazzes out and crashes/freezes
Ah thanks, I thought Kathi was panicking about sweetcorn or nuts
Hehe.
That is some kind of a weird nightmare. Attacked by sweetcorn
LOL
Green giant, ho ho ho
louis ferrigno?
ha ha , the icredible bulk. It was his hair that I always thought was funny
and on that note, i must sleeps. see ya all.
g'night, sleep well :)
I see AUTOSPORT have an article behind the paywall on Bernd Rosemeyer. I wonder if there is going to be a the first of a number of articles on the 100th birthday of all the great drivers.
enjoy your foods.
G'night Mr C
And it's goodnight from me too
Night Mr C. I am not going to be here much longer either.
Night Bassano
and Bassano :(
I am going to bed.
Good night anyone who is still awake
Good night Steven, sleep well :)
Good night
Morning everyone
Morning
You seem to be keeping some unusual hours over there Kathi.
How's the Kernel Panic been? All sorted now?
firefox doesn't work. Don't know if that's related though. I will have to look into it when I come back from uni.
I have a bit of girly manflu and whenever I'm sick I can't sleep. This is the third night without sleep so don't expect to see much of me during the weekend (hopefully)
I have manly manflu over here, hence despite being on holiday being up at 5am.
I am going through tissues like there is no tomorrow. I have developed a new system using the old box to temporarily store the tissues in so that they don't get messy on the one hand or rather so I don't have to go to the bin every time.
Here's a picture to explain:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-312
Morning
Now, If either of those boxes were here, and not placed upside down, a certain F1 watching cat would have them all over the house, torn in shreds, used or unused!
Sidepodcat :)
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/sdc10820-jpg
That doesn't seem to have worked somehow
I used Share Image on LCLT, doesn't seem to work for me.
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/sdc10820-jpg
Morning
Odd! I see it now though :)
Morning!
Morning.
I'm off to the beach and shall miss all practice :-(
Don't worry, i'm missing it too!
boo!
And it's done. Draft 2 of my novel is complete. To celebrate here is the opening sentence: "It was the first day without snow for three weeks."
stupid weekend things getting in the way
oooooh :)
so this one has a first page?
oooooo. can we download a dodgy illegal copy? ;-)
Yup :)
kindle torrent ;)
hehehe :) No!
:)
and you're telling everyone this? it's not like nico with his helmet? "i've lost the first page, help me help me, i've lost the first page" etc etc
LOL. That's great news Alex, congrats
For those that are into the stats. It currently stands at 72,646 words and weirdly exactly 2,200 paragraphs.
is your space bar broked yet?
Hmmm. There must be a title in there.
"The book with 2200 paragraphs"
Morning Sidepodpeeps,
To start your day, how about an awesome trick shot?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/2972092/Boys-trick-shot-becomes-internet-sensation
Pah. There's no balloons in that at all
Not yet... But you can see that I put a little bit too much pressure on the case of my mac when I type...
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-313
Note the two gaps in the case where my wrists rest.
ooops
:D I thought you just touch-typed on the iphone?
:D
I did actually write quite a bit of it on the iPhone maybe a fifth? But most was written on this.
ipod sync complete, I must hit the road. Have a fun Friday UK people.
flipping 'eck!!
that's amazing. congratulations
You also ya non-uk person ;)
oh, and enjoy the rest of your birthday Jon
See you paul!
Ah! Happy Birthday Jon!
thanks mate
pah ;) better late than never :D ehehe.
Happy Birthday Jon :)
Well I better make up for being late:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/happybirthdaytojon-mov
I have made you a birthday video - with singing!
Thats AMAZING.
Thats made my day :) :) :D
Thank you so much :)
The lip sync seems a bit out on that video - odd.
Hurrah!
tis awesome thanks mate :)
No problem at all!
So what exciting Birthday things do you have planned?
Jon,
tilykke med fodseldagen!
yey!! foreign things i dont understand!!
Going to slough this morning, then back home and to Nando's tonight (restaurant not Renault driver)
It's just happy birthday in Danish - figured you'd heard it enough in English already ;)
how many kilos ? :-)
thanks! i havent ;) but thanks
Average words per page? Amount of times "For Sure" is used?
Right, Slough time.
Speak to y'all later
Not sure... I'm getting it printed today... It's 325 pages of A4 (double spaced for ease of editing). But I think I'm going to go for double sided so that my readers can carry it around with them!
http://www.cvc.com/Content/EN/MediaCentre/PressRelease.aspx?PRID=167
I wonder if this will have any effect on the beer selection at F1 races :-)
For sure - 0
Average words per page - 223.4 (but it's double spaced)
Here's an out there stat. If you include all of the words from the Japan Live Comments (which includes everyone's name each time which they don't have to write again, and the time etc). Then the book is 1.51 times as long as all of the live comments from the race in words.
STOP!
Slough time!
IDEA - your next book is just us doing a live comment of something!
#MFC :)
#MFC
Just had another thought - a book written on Google Wave?
Well that I imagine will happen a lot. Wave would be really handy for what I'm about to do. And while I'm on wave Google still haven't given me any invites so wave is essentially useless at the moment to me :(
Morning all.
Also: Well done Alex! Happy birthday Jon!
Kubes has been talking about next year, which is hardly surprising given this year's lack of results. He specifically identified that the team needed to be looking for an experienced team mate for him.
“I think there are a few names who are quite experienced that Renault is looking at for next year,”
BYE BYE Romain
He went on to say he would not influence the decision but actually he really really does want to...
“I will not try to have any influence on my team mate for next year. I have my personal preferences but this is only because of private personal relationships,”
Which drivers have experience that are unlikely to be retained or are still looking for a drive? Rubens is the most experienced and has admitted to talks with Williams (despite Frank's open criticism of his blah blah blah outburst), Jarno (an indecently fast qualifier that turns the race into mayhem with the Trulli Train), Nick (Robert's team-mate this year and driver who finishes more F1 races than anyone else in the history of the sport) and who else (Sato? Davidson?)
Thanks for the shooing this week :)
Well he wants Kovi doesn't he?
Am very pleased to have worked out how to make Pages use British English. Grrr!
We do not know that Kovy will not remain at McLaren. I am still not sure that Kimi is completely right there (money, attitude and history) - I would not hire him due to the inevitable destablizing influence. Does Kovy qualify as an experienced driver, I guess from Kubes perspective yes but otherwise only three seasons.
If I were Renault I would not be looking at Heikki simply to distance myself as far as possible from Briatore, the same would apply to Grosjean.
I am only saying who I think Robert wants.
I don't think Kimi at McLaren will be anywhere near as distablising as Alonso at Ferrari.
Are they close friends? I read it somewhat different - Robert is not known to be very good at developing a car. Sure he tests but Nick has really done the bulk of the testing development including extensive testing together with Christian of the KERS (Robert had very little drive time with it). Even when Nick was with Jordan he was able to develop the car to score points. Further Frank Williams has commended Nick on his ability to set up and develop a car. This is what is hurting Toro Rosso. Rubens is also good at set-up and I actually think this is going to hurt Brawn next year. On paper Nico should be very good (has good technical understanding but it is also feel). I think Robert was actually referring to his current team mate.
Kimi is not a team player - period. McLaren like team players - period. Sure Ferrari are out of their minds dumping Kimi for Fernando - but it is to pacify their Italian fans who do not like Kimi - it is not a racing decision its a marketing decision. In fact Robert would have been better - he also speaks Italian.
G'morning all. Happy birthday jon!
Morning Lukeh, how's it going?
I am far less stressed about uni work today than I have been the past few days, thanks :) Maybe because it's a Friday and there's F1 on this afternoon... Friday's in general are just awesome. If Friday were an inanimate object, I would give it a hug.
How are you, and everyone else?
Morning to those just arrived ;)
Seeing as people aren't posting much, I'll re-blug my post about the championship contenders and the possible outcomes this weekend ;)
I am good. This morning seems to be going super slow compared to the rest of the speedy week, but like you say, it's Friday so everything is good!
It feels slow because it's Friday and yet we're still hours from first free practice.
Morning all
What we need is a nice game to pass the time...
Due to the economic downturn and the budget cap each Formula 1 personality (driver, boss, pundits, etc) are going to have to set up a shop. What do they sell in their shop and what is the name of the shop?
#F1Shop
It needs to hurry up and get to some awesome Formula 1!
Also, I have to go into town to get some stuff and I know I need to go into get stuff... but I haven't the foggeist idea in remembering what it is I need to get. Which is a tad annoying..! I should've wrote it down last night.
Murray Walker - Walking sticks.
Name: Walker's Walkers

I was looking at the Renault Blog article mentioned in the daily post (link here)
They seem to have turned their screens upside down and stuck a Renault logo over the top in order to disguise their former sponsors. They're all covered with upside down lions and what looks like ??I (hmm will this work).
Seems a bit slap dash.
heh!
The Shoemaker Schumachers - For all your footwear needs!
No it won't! :-)
Anyway, upside down INGs
I'd better head off before I miss the bus despite some pun-derful F1 Shops ;)
See ya later!
Here we are then, lovely, lovely wiki page. http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/F1+Shop
I hear times are so tough even the worlds greatest F1 podcast is having to set up shop. Christine is starting up a sideline in creating earthenware in the kiln.

I thought they were going into partnership with Max
Birch Rod Cast
I hear that one of the former hosts of the ITV coverage has worked out a process of coaxing particular kinds of flowers to grow better.

Going ever deeper into the incredibly

I think I better stop now!

croftie and ant on the sofa:

I like the bit when Croftie points :)
I'm not entirely sure, but I think Croftie might be cheating.
@Jamesallenonf1 on twitter:
Q to Webber: "Are you going to help Vettel?"
Webber: "I doubt it. I'm here to get a good result."
A shame it isn't Vettel and Webber fighting it out for the WDC
it totally deserves a post, but i'm not sure what to say beyond... hehe!!
Red Bull are idiots. That's why it's not.
Perhaps you could pretend that you were writing a post about the new game coming out?
Am on it!
woot!
(hearts christine)
Oh poop. Do we have to buy another wheel to play this one?
Seems like every Wii Game these days has to have an accessory in order to play it!
I broke the embed :(
I fixed it again!
:)
How much would you say a fair price to print and bind (ring bind) 7 copies of 350 pages (double side printing so 175 pieces of paper)?
:)
Well I used to work in a stationery store - and that sounds like quite a big job to me!
No use quoting prices though as they are in NZD :(
Talking of gaming, my dad found this and said we should have a Sidepodchristmasparty there :)
Yay sounds great :)
I like this quote on the site:
That would be me too :)
And me!!
The pictures are good: http://www.driverschallenge.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=812#812
Maybe I should move there? ;)
Oooh Grand Prix Legends - no wonder they are all Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubbish, it takes weeks to get the hang of that game!
Is Codders there? I see quite a few other familiar faces:

hello everyone. Why has this silly week gone so fast? Tomorrow is my last full day here and I am not ready to leave.
In other news, I might as well stay up until 2am for practice because its not far away.
I'll do it for free if you're in the neighborhood
AAAAAMY!
Where's the neighbourhood? ;)
Hello Amy!
ALLLLLISON?
Hehehe sorry. I don't know what's come over me.
hello. Well done on the editing!
Brazil excitement? Japan seems like ages ago for some reason. I shall be missing FP2, boo.
Me too. I'm off to work as soon as FP 1 is finished.
Thank you :)
boo, work, I don't want to go back!
I shall be sleeping through FP2 as it is on at 6am and I am meeting someone at 10 for breakfast, and it takes 50 minutes to drive there so I have to get up early :(
Birmingham Uni - I think I'm the only one who uses all the toys in our stationary room. I'm certainly the only one who can load the laminator with more film.
Oooh is it finished? Is that what you're binding? How exciting!!
the solution to 350 pages for 7 people is to buy e-readers for them and provide it to them that way. A lot less to carry around ;)
It's not the reading I'm worried about, it's the writing. I want them to make notes and basically draw all over it.
It is... The first line is down there in the comments too. Very exciting.
Ah... Not that close. Thanks for the offer though.
Go to bed now and get up early???
Sorry to talk about work, but how long have Foxtel had their download service?
Then she'll miss FP1. There's not really a solution.
I'd rather watch FP1 than FP2, I like the first glimpse of the weekend :D
umm. Launched on October 1 if I remember correctly.
i'm impressed. very noughties. and on foxtel on iphone as well! yay!
I can't be bothered to wash my hair..... Do you think I could get away with wearing a hat to work? :P
the files are huge though and with the lame download limits most ISPs have, you won't get far!
is it free download (unmetered) on bigpond?
I asked that in my 3 hours of training and no one could answer it for me.
Shoei?
You what?
How big is the hat?
It's not a Kimi extra large cap is it? Because Kimi himself doesn't get away with it...
Little! It's just the roots that are skanky. The rest is passable....
Is Fantasy Racers's deadline the same as usual today? Or is it on Brazilian time? Only have FP1 to go by if the former.
Same as normal. 5pm UK time.
Ooops! The official FR post came up while I was composing that!
ooh my FP2 team will have to become my FP1 team as a once-off-special-limited-edition
Great minds...
Hi All
Amy: Spa tickets haven't been deducted yet so it looks like payment can wait another month at least
#Spa
booo, I want to pay for things, it makes it feel more real!
In money news I bought a skirt and two pairs of shoes today.
I justified it as I am saving Australian dollars and these were purchased with New Zealand dollars.
#eurosavingfail
Eurgh I guess I should really go wash. Boooo!
Hello again :) Had a bit of an annoyance to address with work whilst I was out and I still couldn't remember what I needed! Nevermind!
Afternoooon :)
Mmmmm squeaky clean :P
A juicy letter from Ari to Max:
http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pressreleases/FIA/2009/Documents/av_letter_to_fia.pdf
Is Max on dangerous ground?
the fia chose to publish that?
It's odd isn't it, probably means Max isn't unduly worried.
Weather update from redbullf1spy
Sunny this morning, but big clouds are rolling in. 50 mins to FP1 - will it rain or won't it? Tyre boys working overtime.
http://www.autosport.com/gallery/photo.php/id/1320331
this picture looks like Jenson and Rubens are the married couple and Vettel is their son and rubens is pinching his cheek going "co chee co chee cooo"
:D
Hehe, alison made a similar statement yesterday
:D
we rule
Ah, because Max has turned around and basically said "but Ari, you asked for my support so what's the difference?"
ooh. fair point.
Both sides are being very dirty and hypocritical all of a sudden. It makes me wonder whether either candidate will end up being any better than the previous regime, TBH.
You have to look at their history and make a decision on that rather than the election campaign. Same with politicians. Ignore everything they say during the campaign and the build up to it and look at what they have done before and make your decision on that
Well then it's still Ari, isn't it?
I guess I can draw an analogy with myself - in a recent argument I ended up resorting to stooping down to the other person's level in order to make my point. Does it make me a worser person because the only option was to fight fire with fire?
Afternoon all.
Not me, although I spot the presence of at least one 'ringer'...
That or let the other side (literally!) leak it.
Brilliant pre-Brazil Bruno cartoon :D
LOL just as good as last year's one ;)
Yaaay daily!
Kobayashi vs Giant Bear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgqbCq_sxmo
Toyota should have signed Giant Bear
I'm really upset I missed the Glock fish puns from earlier :(
Oh my Cod! I leave this Plaice for 5 minutes, and something fishy starts. I can't believe Toyota's Clams. Personally I feel his fate is sea eeled. I mean it's clear that he needs a Sturgeon. Next we'll hear Glock has signed for Prawn! Anyway I better stop carping on.
What Glock fish puns?
Hey all.
Japan race edit up AT LAST.
And it's another cover of Big in Japan...
http://www.formula1.com/video/
It was Lukeh and Steven in the Live commenting thread.
*head asplodes*
I think from here on down: http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/10/16/live-brazil-free-practice-1/#comment-545750
I may need to go back to work!
Mary mother of Christ!
You have definitely been looking at words for too long.
....
I, don't know what to say.
By the Guano Apes.
Blame Te...hmm. There seems to be some kind of force stopping me finishing that sentence
I have always been partial to a bit of a fish pun though.
:lol: You certainly made up for it!
#sorryalison
Just for you ;)
Not as good as the Beeb version ;)
You didn't even blow my mind. You made it asplode.
I don't even know if asplode is a term but you made it do that!!
Indeed. Not as good as the original, either.
Alphaville is the version i have, who did the original?
Disappointed to hear a lack of Japanese Boy by Aneka for any race edits :(
That is the original, indeed. I don't think the Beeb played that version?
ah, i thought it was, its the version on my spoitfy... love it!
Anyway i need to go to the shop.
Since its friday, i guess that makes it friday-big-shop?
I'm going out to a gig tonight (idlewild)... But the problem with going out at this time of year is the weather. If it was genuinely winter then I'd have to take a coat, but now I could just about get away without it. The problem is that if you take a coat to a gig what do you do with it?
I love afternoon naps, apart from that panicy feeling when you think you've missed something!
How are we all?
Jon! I've just realised something, happy birthday
If anyone fancies a review about Windows 7, I've found this which is quite good. And they like it!
then again it could be dog food processed with mash and be a more stable OS than Vista. Still!!
...your birthday?
:P
Happy birthday of course. up to anything ncie apart from napping and forgetting?
i would brave the cold.
thats very true! it's not been a bad day, but a tad boring!
i could see through the gatehouse window earlier that i had lots of post....turns out it was the martin hines book i'd ordered, an nhs letter and a staples letter....hmmm
Wear loads of blue shirts!!
Actually... go for without a coat and be brave. Once you get in there it'll be worth it.
Society meeting at 5.30 for heads of society at the uni
Nandos at 7 :)
Pleeeease get your friends to make a giant 'A' or at least take a spray paint can, and put it/spray it at the beginning of the Nando's sign ouside the building!!
:D
really am quite tempted
turns out Ralf Schumacher post is going to be a star in my next picture!
Someone bought me a Woolworth's own brand electric screwdriver come rechargeable drill many years ago.It can't have cost much but after many years service it finally died.
So, unable to live without such a tool anymore I treated myself to a rather expensive Bosch. It. Is. Utter. Rubbish. In fact, the completely dead Woolworths one would still give it a run for its money it's that bad. Go figure.
Sorry, felt I had to vent my frustration over this piece of junk. In fact, I still feel annoyed and I might go and hit it with a hammer a few times or something. Imaginative suggestions for destroying it are welcome.
did i miss the talk about this: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/14/applause-for-finland-first-country-to-make-broadband-access-a-legal-right/
"Starting July 2010, every person in Finland will have the right to a one-megabit broadband connection as an intermediate step, says the Ministry of Transport and Communications. By the end of 2015, the legal right will be extended to an impressive 100 Mb broadband connection for everyone."
that settles it, we're moving!
Is it orange?
ahem
link fail: http://mediafuturechange.com/
Yup, brought it up yesterday. I actually asked when we were gonna move...
looks like it's right now, then. :D
Can anyone else see brownie points slipping away rather rapidly?
i did? sorry.
I saw it get mentioned the other night. I mean, we all have no excuse now to go move in with kathi! :P
what did i do?
A sort of yucky green

http://mediafuturechange.com/2009/10/15/everybody-is-watching-sport-on-the-internet/
So I heard there is this blog called future change media or something...
that's why then
ooooh. bugger.
this could be tricky...
aparently they do a podcast too..
i was looking it last night... listening to podcasts however, not my strong point.
too right!
I think it's safe to say it's not 'they' but 'she' :)
ahaha, true story
i'm kinda busy!
Me too!
you can't use you as a benchmark. your productivity is insane.
It had good reviews. Me thinks Bosch must have written them.
talk to bassano, he's the electric tools man
mmm...
Oh. Carry on then :)
Also... I am so not moving to Finland yet. I just moved!
Cheerso
Maybe if you get a bigger fan it will push Rockall closer to Funland
Finland... although I am not doubting it's fun credentials
Hehehe!!
by 2015 though, or i'm going without ya (unless the uk implements the same).
That's what I'm thinking.
bigger fan...
well....http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/luxury/dyson-launches-bladeless-fan-20091014-gwxx.html?autostart=1
Oh yea, that's fine. I don't mind moving every six months. Not every six days though.
I had a homebase own brand electric drill for ages which worked really well until my brother nicked it.
My named brand drill was so rubbish I had to get a man round with an orange drill on live streaming internet!
:D :D
you can't use you as a benchmark is a phrase I love.
Just got home. Did I miss much?
Apart from my blog and forum having downtime that is :(
Lukeh.....massive A - Check
There was a polystyrene party in FP1 thanks to Roman
I'm officially old today
Awesome with a capital A
Yay! :D
How's this for fact of the day? From the PattyF1 site:
Hmmm. Makes ya think. 5 minutes left...
What an amusing mess (except for Renault and the marshalls, obviously) :)
Happy birthday to you, Lukeh!
FP2 is in an hour
*Jon
5live said it earlier.
He doesn't have much luck round here, does he? I seem to remember he got wiped out of the race by his team-mate three years in succession from 2004-2006...
Um.. it's Jon's birthday but thank you nevertheless. I think I may have missed Christmas 6 days ago if it is my birthday though
Couldn't watch, sadly.
Grrr, work getting busy has scrambled my brains! Grrr...
Happy birthday, Jon!
But the FR deadline?
31st December? coool/not
Happy Birthday, Jon! :D
Not :(
Thanks ;) cor what are y'all like ;)
Have have all seen Alex's video to me? Its on the drop, tis awesome
At least he finished last year, so there's some improvement...
If It's Lukeh's Birthday we're gonna have to party like it's 2-thousand-and-9
Oh, never mind. I'll play the percentages with Nick and stick with Webbo.
I have some Bosch power tools and they aren't bad. That said, I've only owned one drill, so how would I know if others are better?
"Charge what we consider to be reasonable money or we'll just nick it" is the message of the age, isn't it? Power to the people!
I like their confidence :)
This video? http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/happybirthdaytojon-mov
I have seen it ;)
:D
If they had a spare hoarding, there would have been another one courtesy of [Grrrr!] Tonio Liuzzi [Grrr!]
:p
:P What? It's true.
So I'm about to leave the house for the Idlewild gig at Camden's Electric Ballroom. I have obviously had to dress "appropriately" for the gig - my friends words.
So I hope you aren't too shocked by my attire: http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/picture-20-jpg
That is so not you
Also your outfit needs more cowbell.
oh my goodness! is it legal to wear that?!!?!
Good point!
I don't mind Romain crashing, but as a Force India supporter I'd prefer Tonio to stay on the grey stuff - even if all that water gave him an excuse...
I have made a concession you know. I'm not just wearing my normal clothes. There is no shirt pocket. I'll explain this to My friend when I see him.
Considering the context, you certainly are turning this outfit choice up to 11!
In other news, just had an email from Brawn announcing a new one-off sponsor for the Brazilian GP. Presumably they're putting the stickers on in time for FP2?
Sir, I salute your indefatigability.
Another one?!
As in just right now? Wow, how last minute. Big name or small?
Excellent!
No, just a very delayed email!
Ahh..
They seem to have quite a few one off sponsors for this race.
Mapfre - already been announced, except to those with second class email providers.
It's on Rubens' cap already...
Considering they struggled to get any for much of the year.
People adding to Rubens' war chest? ;)
Indeed. Probably announced to local market and then picked up and promulgated by syndication goons before the team got around to the global release.
Who actually are they?
I am back from the shops, epic que at the checkouts so managed to entertain myself with the coments ;)
Phrase of the day right there - syndication goons. :D
Although I would find it odd that a sponsor gets onto the team merch/livery already before the team can announce it.
Well, the time has ticked past 5.30pm. Why am I still in the office? Time to follow the example of the Post Office workers: everybody out!
Also known as: Have Google Translate, Will Travel (or not, as the case may be).
Have Google Translate, Will Publish. ;)
How do we rate AS again? From Twitter:
And there I was feeling like 4:07pm was inordinately late to be still in the office (probably because it's 15 minutes later than I've ever needed to be in there for previously...)
I'm not even sure that's a complete confirmation from AS's perspective. It certainly isn't from mine. I regard AS as being one step up from La Marca - and at least three steps down from an authoritative source.
I'm surprised I've only seen the one report attempt to write about Romain Grosjean's bucket so far...
You should probably check with one of Kimster from PF's sources ;)
:D
They should be constructors champions by the end of it!
I think AS is his source
Haha... evening!
Phew managed to finish my dinner in time :)

Back on the daily?
Dailyville!
lets.
poll for journeyer coming right up.
Indeed. :) I wonder if Mr C saw my reminder. :D
Hmmm. Should sleep soon.
w00t!
Me too after being up half the night
With YAS? :P :D
before you, can you give us a quick paragraph on your favourite and why, will incorporate into post.
It's a tough one, but I'm picking Suzuka. It beats Interlagos in terms of quantity and quality. Not only did it bear witness to 10 title deciders, they were mostly epic too. Who could forget Senna and Prost colliding in 1989 and 1990, Damon Hill's tearful victory in 1996, Schumacher stalling in 1998, then gaining the ultimate glory for Ferrari in 2000? These, and many other memories, are the reasons why I choose Suzuka.
I saw this article contained the words pubsubhubbub and twitter, i have no idea what it means, or if is helpfull or M|F|C but here ya go http://twitterfeed.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/twitterfeed-is-growing-up/
Was feeling kind of down and out for a little bit... then I remembered I have chocolate chip cookies for a snack. WIN!
Nooo. You can't vote on something that hasn't held a race yet.
You cant, I can ;)
And hasn't even hosted a title decider yet. ;)
It hasn't held a snail race yet, let alone a Grand Prix.
after thinking about today's earlier discussion, I'm worried about Alex. He wore a blue shirt without a pocket on it and I fear he is regretting this choice at the Idlewild gig.
You couldnt race snails on an F1 track, it wouldnt meet the minimum snail saftey standards!
I missed all of FP2. That's rrrrubbish.
Why? Though tbh you didn't miss a lot.
You missed Franck on TV smiling, laughing, and talking of his love for Christine On the Internet
Why not? It is wide enough.
no boats this week, although fisi went for a walk by the lake ;)
No hydation or sustincae, also pretty sure tarmac is above the governing bodys maximum abraisivness limits...

From Circuit poll thread
Hey Mr Ecclestone, can I have a job?
Night!
Hello all, just catching up with Free Practice on the red button. Was not able to watch live as I have been cleaning my lounge. When I say cleaning I mean taking everything out, washing walls, skirting, sofas & floor then moving all furniture, books, computer, tv etc back into the room & connecting it all up again. I ache but it's all very clean :)
A1GP may be in trouble with ferrari over its engines
Jo has mentioned it before, but now ferrari have admitted there is no formal agreement in place http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/ferrari-talks-about-a1gp/
Wow. Can you come around to my soon to be former place and clean it after I leave?
No agreement... so it was a one-year deal?
Well it was probably for longer, but if they havent paid its likely to be void?
I think not, I don't think my knees could take it, they're already complaining & I need to clean my bedroom tomorrow.
Yes possibly. I'm amazed Teixera let it get so bad.
I have cookies...
Can you come to mine? I will buy you a pint of
frappachinoGuinness ;)Vatanen has gone to court to ensure a fair election...
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/79479
FIA don't seem amused
Sadly, bribery won't work, it's taken me a week of leave to get the motivation up to do mine ;)
Awe... well if you decide you miss doing it next week, and dont have a house which need cleaning, mine is available ;)
"Had Mr Vatanen troubled to examine the procedures in place" They really aren't happy
Interesting. I wonder if he has got word or smething, or is just trying to make the current lot look bad?
Seems more like the latter sadly. Max had a good point when he pointed out that Vatanen was keen to have his backing himself
The current lot don't really need a lot of help to look bad

I can't decide if this is a good idea or potentially really annoying if every campaign does it.
More on Ari
Interviewd by BBC
I guess that was Inside F1 which nobody watched because it was on AT THE SAME TIME AS PRACTICE
oops
I think its silly. If you are raising awereness of something, then fair enough. But cancer isnt that unknown.
still, i dont want to bad mouth a charity, but surely the money could be donated anyhow?
5live f1 live podcast about to start:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live/
5live do roll-calls too!
wohoo! :D
awwww what a cute little feature to the best commentary partnership :)
odd montage?
hehe, nice little retrospective by colin :D
has it just started?
ooh, is that what it is. completely went over my head
it has.
hhaha :) i'm really hoping that Ant is in the box next year.. i will be so sad if he isn't, they are so great :)
Good - I can't stand missing stuff!
i'm with croftie, decide the championship in Brazil!! Interlagos IS the track to be crowned champion on :)
Holly dining out on denim?
Is there a way to download it after it's done?
I want him to win, but AD would be a nicer place to do it... (avoid rubbing RB's nose in it ;) )
it'll be a podcast later.
There's a podcast
Recording from the friday press conference... Is that allowed! ?
yup.
But not tv cameras?
Martin Clunes is having Mr C's reading problems on HIGNFY
Thanks, I think I found it in iTunes, but there aren't any episodes available for download.
tv camera always film it. no idea what happens to the footage, but media lights are used for tv purposes.
They are only available for 7 days
i think the ideal podium is Rubens winning (so he can win his home gp - a nice compromise ;) ) Jenson P2 so he is on the podium and wins...and Brawn collect the championship with a 1-2 and someone in third :) of course it wont happen, but i can dream :D
BBC's 'awesome' 7 day policy.
The BBC only release them for a short time after they are broadcast. It'll be there later
woohoo :) Ross Brawn :)
Ah i have never seen it
Mr C, sorry to be the person with problems again but my show selector isn't working. I've deleted it from iTunes and tried to reload but I just get the exclamation mark. I'm OK at the moment because I've subscribed to the normal Sidepodcast on iTunes but it might be an issue. I select all normally so I tried deselecting some random ones to get another url but neither of them want to work :( My normal feed ends in 16383 & the other one I tried ends in 16247
Ross is going to do the karaoke!
He is making Mr C look good
love his honesty.
Brawn possibly running light to avoid trouble at the start even if it compromises them later...
What song would he sing?
I'm not entirely sure why but it amuses me so I thought I'd upload it anyway... Sutil drifiting to Crockett's Theme.
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/sutilcrockett-wmv
There's absolutely no reason to it. I just accidentally combined the two and I loved it.
I will survive?
The Yogi bear song?
hehehe lol Ross Brawn is amazing 'quite unforgettable' no one even realised that isn't 3 words... lol :D
Don't these guys know there are no bearded world champions???
Red bull aren't going to shave until they win a race... or at least till the end of the season... wow...
well both Rubens and Jenson have beards so......
Brawn to be Wild
There arent?
A couple with moustaches though so i guess they are channeling that around the face!
Thanks. I figure since you guys are always on about it, I should check it out :D
Thats true... If that was a fact it ends this year!
cheers janna, can you give it another go pls? missed another bug.
appreciate you finding these, will have to get you a badge like bassano.
Lukeh!! Rubens says he'll definately be on the grid next year (so that's good) and he also says that nothing is final, so he may not sign for williams... there is still hope.
I shall tweet Sir Rubens and I shall inform him of his Williams silliness and he shall sign for brawn and we shall all have jelly! Huzzah!
Having heard the beard fact, Jenson is quick to try to hide his... http://www.formula1.com/photos/597x478/sutton/2009/d09bra506a.jpg
I was with you until the Jelly...
Jenson confirms what we suspected... he has not won a race since turkey, and he has more points that everyone else...
heheheh :) Jenson is funny :)
Not a fan of Jelly? I am thinking of making a big bowl for the race!
Well at least the important stuff is ok
No ones having any jelly until its confirmed Timo has a seat in F1
Awesome.
Rubens shaved his, I wouldn't class him as having a beard this weekend, just a bit of stubble. Jenson and Vet are screwed.
Nope, not much of a fan of teh jelly, I'm afraid. But if it's what you enjoy, then have at it!
Lou, did you see the pic of Jenson in my race preview post?
No one is having jelly until Martin Brundle has nailed some to the wall!
All now working fine thank you
No problem, I was expecting the Brazil preview but it hadn't updated. I've got it twice now but that's much better :)
am yet to open my feed reader this week.. i'll take a look in a moment :)
:lol:
I have some packets but no room in my fridge... dilemma!
Is it the blocks of jelly? If so, eat it raw
No worries - here is the link to the pic:
no, just the powered stuff... it has like 1 calorie so its healthy :P
It would be pretty easy to nail blocks of jelly to the wall
I could listen to Colin Murray all day, I think!
Thats sliiiiiiightly obsessive.
But he is a good host.
Watch it, Timo-boy! ;)
Does genuous mean the same as disingenuous?
Bcause surely the double negative means it should?
#random #mayneedgigles
He's got loads of podcasts now, FT, Murray & Lovejoy's Sports Express and he's often on 5Live Football daily, If you download them all then you could :)
Fair point.
ehehehe i like :)
My caption for it was: Jenson’s not listening to his critics – he knows he can do what it takes!
<3
According to Ask Oxford genuous does not exist. Ingenuous comes from the Latin ingenuus meaning native, inborn
Genuous is slang meaning both genuine and generous, so no
Brad Spurgen reveals some things from the press conference which wont come across in the transcript.

The teachers in Armstrong and miller are amazing!
i've really missed out on a lot of stuff during the year can't believe it's the end of the seadon already well the penultimate round.
Nice :D
I can so imagine that is what they are doing behind me in my exams. :D
One of my friends is a teacher now, i will have to convince him to do it!
'Night all, more cleaning tomorrow but hopefully will be finished for FP3. If not, see you for qualifying
Pluggy. This post is getting smaller every week :-(
Night.
Night!
Did anyone listen to chris moyles this morning? Madness!
He was late so decided to do a 10 min link on the phone!
yeah, i heard the bit with Jake.. poor him :( such a great guy for getting into the spirit of it though :)
night Janna
Oh good you can help! what time was that bit on!
I just updated this because I forgot the F.Ford Festi. Only one of the biggest events in junior racing. Oops.
Ah i had a read, forgot about phillip island
Quali is on BBC red button from 2:50am!
I always forget about MotoGP until I write the post and see it in the Forix listing, where it is at the bottom so usually the last thing I see!
erm they called him three times.. all within i think 7:40 - 8:30.
Vatanen has gone to court to ensure a fair election…
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/79479 {Comment #634}
FIA don’t seem amused
Thumbs up for Vantanen, thumbs down for the FIA (because the document they refer to doesn't include very many safeguards at all)...
hehe, thats a bit harsh, i will have a listen! :D
for the guys that missed FP1, Sutil’s awesome slidy drifting {Comment #641}
I hope they've dialled out that understeer by Sunday or I can see a DNF or two coming Force India's way...
Jake comes out of it looking like an even more amazing person, he is so relaxed about it all, very kind person indeed.
I've never listened to Chris Moyles before. Is he always this annoying?
Good evening SidepodLand
That's why I can't listen to him... as much as Jake is awesome, Chris Moyles really grinds my gears at times...
evening Bassano
Lou, I want you to watch the race with a paper bag by your side on Sunday
No hyperventilating please ;)
I haven't listened to this but yes he is
Is hyperventilating bad? I got taught to do it when o was younger as a slightly hardcore swimmer
Hehe, its an acquired taste, i used to listen to him in the afternoons
He is always annoying.
Evening
I really like sarah cox, but belive me, its not something thats all that nice to wake up to!
Evening 2.0!
Err ok
This is my first visit tonight but, whatever
hyperventilating is the least of my worries ;) i've fallen down the stairs twice this week :s i'm much more likely to be in A&E ;)
i'm hoping emily will be coming round my house this weekend :) she's up for watching the GP too, so who knows if i pass out you may get a running commentary of my reactions :P
She hasn't been too bad in the afternoons this week, or at least the fourteen minutes I hear on the way home... today I even put the radio on to hear the 'wonder years'.
Lou, I want you to watch the race with a paper bag by your side on Sunday
No hyperventilating please {Comment #756}
Did you know that the first aid advice concerning hyperventilation has changed in the last three years? Apparently people weren't using paper bags to control breathing correctly. Now first aiders are supposed to model normal breathing and encourage people who are hyperventilating to copy them...
If you are coming to brooklands can you ask her to make a cake to bring along ;)
pretty please!
I'll also tell you what is completely screwing with my brain.... hearing Jo Whiley on a weekend.
i don't mind him, in fact i prefer him to Terry Wogan, so it's radio one i wake up to each morning :)
brooklands?
Thankfully, Chris Evans (not you, SPC Chris Evans) is taking over from Wogan so that should be good. With Mayo on the way home I find myself switching between 1 and 2 a lot..
I love the wonder years, it reminds me of traveling to see people at other unis when i used to go visit!
Used to love waking up to Mike Parr (local radio), then he went to Cumbria. Gah.
Brooklands?
Mercedees Benz world thingymbob
Good Evening
Have kept away from radio, too many podcasts to enjoy.
it was a really good selection today
oooohhh, that's not this weekend though? and i've already told her she is coming :P although i mentioned that Heikki would be there and she decided it would be worth it ;)
Now I like Chris Moyles and can't stand Sarah Cox and Jo Whiley.
Is hyperventilating bad? I got taught to do it when o was younger as a slightly hardcore swimmerb {Comment #758}
Hyperventilating when you don't mean to or have complete control over it (which covers most instances of hyperventilation) is bad. It's possible to get into considerable respiration difficulties if it continues for too long at any one time.
The sort of controlled hyperventilation which is really just there to make sure you completely empty and fill your lungs is another matter entirely. Though my coaches called it "controlled breathing" or something like that.
Awesome :D
No its the day i fly back from Dubai so i might have a jet lag or 2 ;)
Ah thanks ;)
Can she live stream the ambulance arriving?
hyperventilating is the least of my worries ;) i’ve fallen down the stairs twice this week :s i’m much more likely to be in A&E ;) {Comment #765}
Ouch! Stairs, please co-operate with lou - that way if she feels like jumping for joy when Brawn take the Constructor's Championship (as I'm sure will happen this week whether the Driver's is decided or not), she can do it without worrying over a sprained ankle or something?
depends how quickly she can set up a ustream account and my bandwidth, but i don't see why should couldn't :P
I am going to make sure that I am so there.
the funniest thing is both times i haven't really hurt anything badly... i have a couple of nice big bruises though :)
Anyways, going to bed. No real reason to, but, just am, to give my knee a rest I suppose). So night all!
hahaha i'm not going to jinx anything, however it is possible i may have to be sedated come sunday evening if Brawn score at least a point...
night RG
Night, Roman, sir!
Night RG
night RG
How many times does this annoying man harass poor jake? I have just got through two of them...
3 in total
Oh thank God - I am on number three now. Idea was funny, execution poor :(
Not to put a jinx on it but Rubens NEVER does well at home does he?
:lol: I havent listened to it yet! got wossy on
But Jakes tweet makes a lot more sense!
but.. how great would it be if it were a brawn 1-2 and Rubens won, but Jenson came second and took the champ :P and brawn won the constructors i may just explode... so it's probably a good thing that wont happen :D
Hasn't done yet, but the web hasnt scored a point yet and he is gonna bring it home in my Fantasy racers 2010 team ;)
I think he got a podium one time, but yes, it's not his best race. I'd like to see him win though.
pluggage:
f1 minute and big pic. enjoy!
Hehe, slightly harsh title but i like it :D
Nelson Piquet has been playing at NASCAR (and so has IRL driver Vitor Meira).
It's not meant to be harsh?
I like the Alonso and Interlagos pics a lot.
Oops!
Not to worry, sorry
#hides

Idlewild
evening!
#hiding
were they wild or idle?
Any good?
I used to like them
Any good? I once saw them (from a great distance) when they supported REM
When are they changing their name to JFK?
I think "any good" is the de facto response when someone says they've been to a gig.
How very dare you! ;)
Never thought he needed Clearasil anyway,
*considers hiding*
of course I could tell you, but I think you'll have to wait fir my full review ;)
In the mean time I can tell you that I enjoyed them a lot, and they were very pro.
they played a couple of their REM lite songs tonight too.
next year... (this may be a guess ;) )
sheesh, how many posts are on the homepage today?
hey alex.
btw has anyone taken guesses at how many Donington Bonds Simon is going to sell? I'm guessing the amount of toes I have, minus the combined number of fingers & thumbs I have.
:D
And all of them most excellent!
People will buy them (No i wasnt tempted honest, ok well maybe just a little, no no i wasnt)
But i dont think it will be enough
sleep time for me. hopefully i'l survive the drama stuff i have to do at school tomorrow and will be back in time to watch quali :) night all! x
hehe. i have to big up christine today, we're reinventing how the underlying bits of the site hang together and it's a bit stressful. thankfully all is going well and nothing broke yet.
Best of Luck! Night!
night
night lou, sleep well.
Night Lou.
Sweet dreams Lou
Night Lou
If you can watch it, please download the video that's on the drop, i don't think it converted properly but you should watch it...
What you need to know is that it's still going on and won't be fixed until morning!!
We've muted it with bog roll as best we can but it's still hearable....
Will talk to y'all over the weekend.
oh my!
Bye Jon.
Student halls have panic alrms now
Is that wise?
I hear the alarm! Dougie, who is sat 30 miles away, is sending the nurse over.
No! When I was in halls in '99/'00 the fire alarms went off all the time... VERY loud, literally made the heart skip
Hehe had to convert it but just watched it!
Have a fun evening jon!
I remember that from friends' uni stayovers. When socks over the smoke alarm was a common occurance and occasionally people standing outside in their pyjamas waiting for the fire crews
Get VLC media player, nothing foxes it - is great
Thats what i have, might need updating.... i got video but no audio with it
My room is a disabled room so it has those pull chords, no others have it.
