Yesterday was something to behold, wasn't it? For those of us watching qualifying, we had quite a long time to wait to get to the results. For those who didn't, the highlights will sum it all up for you in a much more sensible amount of time! Here are some of the things we're talking about:
- F1 Wolf had some troubles with his site earlier today, but is back up and running now with his rundown of all that went on in qualifying. Probably best to read as many posts as you can about qualifying to try and make sense of it all!
- Ollie has written about the BBC and their coverage of the extended session yesterday. We've had some choice words to say about the BBC recently, but they did seem to cope with the uncertainty really well.
- In the self-promotion department, we have got the new season page working over in the playground. It lacks something in the looks department, but is fully automatic, so everything should update as the site does. Yay for not having to manually enter things anymore!
That'll do for now, I reckon. I'm hoping that today there will be less hanging around and waiting for the action to begin, but who knows!
I can't believe it was my birthday 2 days ago, it's gone too fast!!
With all those delays on top of being a late than usual session, it feels really weird having midnight come through so soon after quali
Hve BBC uploaded the bit they did when they went onto BBC2 to iplayer?
I caught Q2 on my phone, but i missed Q3
It says Not Available so it doesn't look like its coming. sorry.
Though
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8312874.stm
From about 6:30 in should have the whole of Q3
Right, while you squabble over quali yesterday, shall see ya's in the morning for about two minutes. lotsa love.
Night!
seeeee yaa
Night RG
later chap.
MrC i dont know if this is a good time to ask... but any ideas of how to make my PC boot windows on startup when it defaults to Ubuntu?
It gets this far then goes dead each time http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/imag0076
not sure i've ever tried. i have a google.
no worries, I have tried a couple of things, no luck so far.
Its my own fault for rushing into this thinking it would be easy!!!
Its looking like i will have to reformat
Want to see Mav's pretty fuel-adjusted grid graphic?
Nice
See I can plug other peoples work no problem LOL
I like the cars! It looks really good.
I am in 2 minds about the weights, if it is wet then rubens could be in trouble. I fear the saftey car will be crucial though
Hve BBC uploaded the bit they did when they went onto BBC2 to iplayer?
It says Not Available so it doesn’t look like its coming. sorry. {Comment #5}
This is annoying. I missed the whole of qualifying due to swimming club (looks like Interlagos was not entirely dissimilar!) and feel a bit short-changed having sat through two hours of programming to only get half a qualifying (the first half at that)...
You need to pretend other people write your posts then you can plug Mav's new post then at the end say - oops, it's mine.
I dont see why it cant be added as a part 2 like they do in the race? maybe somone will wake up to it in the morning?
Anything could happen. Heidfeld fueled light from the back of the grid looks odd unless BMW think there will be an early weather change
Haha I likes your thibking
not drunk, honest
I have always been a good thibker
I create more typos than anyone else and alcohol is never the cause
:D
I slept through quali and I left my phone at my parents :( Booo Sunday.
At least Wellington airport has free wireless though :D
I have discovered there are 20 minute highlights on the bbc f1 site if that helps ;)
AMY! hello! i feel like i haven't spoken to you in ages! how are you :)
Hello.
I don't want to go back to Melbourne yet, I want to stay heeeeere. Well, not here, I'm in an airport. But I wouldn't say no to going back to mum and dads :D
Oh no! No more doohickying from work!
There was a shot of heikki walking into mclaren hospitality and pointing a woman out to the cameras, we were at a loss to know who she was without you!
Hopefully they can mail it to you.. You didn't miss much in qual
You don't go home for years now you don't want to leave.
awww i'm pleased you had a good time :)
BBC tv said it was Katherine. She was pictured with Anthony Hamilton just before that
I still have my old phone so if I can find the charger I can put my Aus SIM card into it and I should still be able to doohickey. My usual phone has my NZ SIM and Mum is going to express-post it over :D
I have got it recorded and I'll be home at 6.30pm so I can watch it then :D I don't promise I will know though, I am not like Lou ;)
My alarm did go off, but my alarm is my phone, so I turned it off and went back to sleep. Evidentially by turning it off I left it in my bed so didn't notice it when I did the final 'what have I left behind' check of the room.
:-( Homesickness hurts.
I don't know if its I don't want to leave, or if I just don't want to go back to work tomorrow morning.
I didn't have time to eat everything on my "must eat in NZ" list, it's a concern.
Hmm... you'd better hope it recorded all of it...
I have done that. Not when I am about to leave the country though
hehehe does that mean i'm stalkerish :P it's not my fault the information is there.. :P
Get your mum to express post all that stuff as well
I was paranoid of delays so I set it to record the next 2 scheduled shows too :D
Oh dear! I am always paranoid about my phone!
And from what i remember you know more about the exteneded Kovalienen family than anyone else! (ok maybe kathi with his sisters skype details but still!)
How long is your flight? do you have to change?
Something is missing.... oh, it is really quiet in here... must fix
We were discussing you stalkerish tendencies on Friday. Did you know that brawn had changed their brake supplier during the season?
Hehe, i think the BBC needs someone like you ;)
I hope they were an hour each
I put a few things in the freezer and told her not to eat them before I get back for Christmas, its only 9 weeks away.
was one hour from Dunedin to Wellington and I have three hours here (they should totally have power points, my battery won't last that long), then its 3.5 hours to Melbourne.
I assume she can go in what she's wearing.
you were?? scary... erm... yes :( it was on their website...
:lol:
Good evening.
(Lurking and racing on trackmania at same time.)
It's remembering to record various different channels in case the BBC move it around a bit that's the tricky part
Someone in FP1/FP2 said they changed suppliers and the new supplier suited Rubens but not Jenson. None of us knew anything about it but we thought you would
Ouch!
You can normally find powerpoints in airport lounges, look for floor flaps, or behind tables? Also there are often some behind vending machines, waterfountains or near TV's ;)
I doubt Australia has a dress code
they have a news feed you know :P
Or go speak nicely to your airline and ask if you can charge your battery because you have some vital e-mails and your battery just died
I didn't know that either. Clearly I would be a lousy Brawn stalker
I shall investigate when I get through customs screening, I am in a cafe at the moment for another hour where the chairs are comfiest.
Slip, slap, slop or something isn't it?
didn't think it suited rubens more though...
You must be able to find one in a cafe!
its an airport cafe, theres no walls!
brawn and jenson must be the easiest team to stalk, they put loads of info, race blogs and stuff on their site... plus there is loads of info on jenson... :)
Ask them if you can unplug their coffee machine to charge your battery
How about those metal flaps on the floor that hide sockets?
there has to be something to plug their vaccums into, are there any lamps or fridges?
I dont know if this has been posted, but the F1 backpacker has posted again!
http://backpackersguidetof1.vox.com/library/post/brazil.html?_c=feed-atom
hehe Joe should really use twitter more! http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/q2-delays-finishing-at-16-10/
£700 for a stand seat?? That is crazy
To think i winced at 470!
Just finished watching quali. Wow, great. Why do they bother with racing?
Hahaha, it's very confusing too. Is that four minutes from now? Or from now?
Oh wow. Casey Stoner has gone all white. (motogp news)
more info on the Jenson at Bluewater thing on tuesday
Imnot sure I can afford F1. I hope the Aus GP is not that expensive
its not.
phew!
I think i might skip that and hope if he wins the title he turns up at Brooklands!
the dearest stand is $499 so 279 pounds. A lot less than 700!
hehehe i'll be turning up regardless :P
that's what I was hoping. I need a seat in a stand.
Has anyone got any instructions for drop.io? Like a how-to guide I could pass on to my Dad?
Good read, I haven't caught up with that in a while, so I just read the last page and a half..
Is there anything in the new commenters manual?
Right, I have made my qualifying analysis - and I'm bloody knackered! Hope you guys enjoy it ;)
http://f1numbers.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/brazil-qualifying-throwing-out-the-baby-with-the-bathwater/
Cool. Webber looks good.
Long day ahead. I sleep now.
PS - commented
night Pat
Rubinho all the way!
Night Pat. As for me, gotta kill time while waiting for MotoGP coverage. I wanted to watch NASCAR, but the Net's too slow. :(
Cheers Pat, see you later!
Make a comment on my blog then - that should kill some time ;)
:P
have gone through security and found a plug :D
Hey Amy - where are you ATM?
Well done. Is it one of Alex's?
Gate 26D at Wellington Airport to be precise :D
Ok... I dont want to jink it, but i think i have gotten my comupter to boot without a cd!
I may have my PC back!
....now i just have to lean how to use Ubuntu!
It doesn't appear to say Andronov. They are renovating this part of the airport so I'm the only one sitting here, everyone else is in the nice new bit, I am in the old bit with no carpet. :D
Cool - have you seen qually yet?
You need Kathi. She should be awake soon
Did you find a Kakapo?
no, I did find a pukeko though. It was a soft toy.
If you do make sure you wear a spiky hat
She got me into this mess!
(although she has been unbeliveably helpfull in getting me out of it!)
nope, might watch whatever is on the iplayer once I finish reading comments if VPN works with the airport wireless.
:D
It isnt quite as cool ;)
Do silver ferns grow in new zealand or are they just glorifying the green ones?
haha no there are actual silver ones. They're grey though, really.
might turn off now actually so my battery can charge quicker so I can have more power during my flight. Transcribing to do and all that :D
Does your laptop have a mic? I am still waiting to hear the difference between Access & access, and Ferry and Fairy in your very complicated accent :P
Cool. See ya later ;)
that should be access and excess ;)
Good night guys, I'll see you at the races tomorrow :D
Montoya is 30th apparently. He got tapped from behind in a restart, and has damage.
night Gavin
Have a good flight, see you for the race hopefully!
For anyone who doesn't know why you need a spiky hat when you meet a kakapo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T1vfsHYiKY
Night
have a good flight amy
whoa, montoya had a sideways moment just before pit lane. hes slowing down.
I'm up
I think he's been patched up. I would probably know more if I was listening to the commentary, but I'd rather listen to music instead.
Have you completely given up sleeping
well done
It's easy. Really ;)
Open Terminal.... man ubuntu
seems like it :(
Do you still have the girly man-flu?
hehe I wiped windows and installed the older one, not karmic....
I have skype and everything, but my mic and camera dont seem to work...
*is half dead for sure*
Sounds bad. Bet you are glad you are not a man and have to suffer the real thing
yeah that's why I isggested Karmic, the older version often have problems with the mic. This worked for me, but it's not ideal: http://www.econowics.com/news-from-the-net/170/skype-problem-with-audio-playback-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/
:P
ah ok, maybe now the older one is working ok i could try karmic?
I have completly uninstalled windows which is scary, but the only thing i could see working!
you shouldn't have any boot conflicts anymore. You have two options upgrading or new install but since your disk is empty now I suggest new install. set you partitions up something like / = 15GB /home = rest and swap =RAM or / = 15GB /home = 10GB /data (or /nameofyourchoice for all your data) = rest and /swap = RAM.
I know nut it's a bit late now I guess ;)
Ok.... Might ask you about that tomorrow, i will give it a go. I have all my personall data backed up to my external which i have left disconeccted, so I am willing to experiment.
If I install karmic though do you think I will have that gnome error again?
hehehe :lo:
the space problem? Can you remember the exact error message?
It was this one
No this shouldn't happen if you have only Ubuntu on your computer.
Have you tried that thing I posted yesterday before getting rid of windows?
er...nope!
...oops!
:D I will use capslock next time
I will promise to listen to everything you say! :D
yeah yeah. *sighs*
*goes to install karmic*
I have the same error messages as before, I will drop a pic...
Ok, I take everything back :)
Are you using the Karmic live CD at the moment or the older version?
ah the other error not the grub. Can you open gparted?
I installed from that cd... the older version worked fine.
It doesn't seem to know the storage size, I dropio'd a seccond pic...
and take a screenshot
trying that now...
it doesn't seem to be opening...
it cant seem to open any programs
did the install process run normally like with the older version or did it crash half way through? There are some bug reports saying that this fancy new slideshow they use crashed the installer somewhere during/after partitioning.
it ran completely differently... there were no options at all... it just ran with a blank screen for 5-10 mins then loaded the desktop...
this is the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/444901
It seems you have to download the live cd again http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and try once more. *tries a soothing smile*
would I be beat off to install the old version again?
I don't think I can download it without reinstalling the old one!
Not even running the old Cd as live session?
and installing the new one on you usb stick after downloading
i restarted and the older version doesnt seem to have been written over?
very weird....
Because your installing process crashed before it had the chance to do that. Lucky you! *hides from flying objects* :)
I am downloading it now, do i need another programme to burn to cd?
Nope, put in the cd cancel the pop up, right click your iso file, click write/burn to cd
You wait untill i find some snowballs to start throwing!
Dont worry, im not annoyed yet, but i might wait untill tomorrow before i try installing this one!
cool, will do
I think I will leave you to your fun and get 90 minutes sleep before the moto gp race.
Good night
Good night Steven
Night steven story for stealing doohicky!
I promise to use my working pc to make interesting comments and leave voicemails ;)
I think it is a great use of it. If you can get your problems sorted this way it is better than trying to sort it on your own.
Good night
when (not if hopefully) you've done that remember to install skype through medibuntu (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu) it should tie in better
Ok will do! Have burned the cd for the morning, heading to bed now!
Thanks so much for the help and Night!
Good Night Nick. Don't get nightmares of ubuntu logos.
No one watched MotoGP, then? Twas a very interesting race - not the most exciting, though. Still, find time to watch it. :)
I am home and I am not happy about this.
Awww. Why not?
I didn't realise how much I missed real home until I went back and then had to leave again.
Oh. :( Well, you moved to Melbourne for a reason, and all things considered, it's gone pretty well for you over there. So don't be sad. Besides, aren't you going home again for Christmas?
indeed, in 9 weeks :D
I will feel better tomorrow when I adjust to this place again. But boooo at going back to work in the morning.
Not sure if it's been mentioned that Liuzzi will change his gearbox, while Vettel opts to stick with his engine and gearbox (so far). So that means Button's 14th, Vettel's 15th.
Hehehe. :D This place was frantic during quali last night.
I read all the comments while I was waiting in the airport and I am just about to watch it :D
Kimi cake: http://www.ferrari.com/English/News/Pages/091017_F1_Hyva_Syntymapaiva_Kimi.aspx
I hope Heikki gets cake tomorrow!
did anyone find out the fuel weights?
Hi Saad. You can look here:
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/10/17/brazil-2009-qualifying/#comment-549664
or on www.formula1.com
Too early. Might sky+ the highlights though
Morning all.
Thanks for that Jeremy (+11? are you in alaska by any chance..) just found the info on f1numbers, link was posted way up there in the comments,for some reason ive never been able to find post qualifying fuel weights on the official f1 site
glad i could help. GMT+11 = Australia
I found the quali weights on the front page of f1.com
the URL says the news headlines:
http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/10/10109.html
As soon as I was here, am gone again, see yas at about 1.
Morning all.
Good morning. How do you do? :)
Hi Christine!
I know you hear it everyday from thousands of people, but I would like to say thank you to both you and Mr C for the huge effort that you both go to, to maintain this site and the podcasts that you produce. You're an amazing couple.
I hope you have an awesome day today and enjoy the race.
Jeremy
Morning everyone :)
(thanks Kathi)
Awww Seconded :)
Hehe, we don't and thank you.
Hope everyone enjoys the race. Looks like it could be an interesting one.
Did Nick's machine get fixed?
Morning Alex, for today and yesterday :)
I like to get my moneys worth ;)
Oh and morning Christine
err not yet but he can use it.
Rubens must win because awww how nice would it be to win at home after 17 years.
I know we don't normally look at football... But did anyone see this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPsBe4O38vI
A kid hit a balloon onto the football field yesterday and when one of the players went to score a goal the ball hit the balloon, bounced off of it and into the goal. So they scored.
Apparently the goal shouldn't have been allowed, but it was:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8312966.stm
Sounds such a crazy regulation / stewards problem that it could be F1 ;)
I would like this also. But do I want the championship decided at this race? I think I might!
nooo, otherwise Abu Dhabi will have nothing going for it at all.
thanks for the plug ! for those who have their own sites, just be careful and backup backup backup. it looks like I was only one of many victims of that hacker. that guy must be very busy making mess of other people sites. here is what a friend of mine looked up about that iSyan hacker:
http://www.zone-h.com/archive/defacer=iSyan
yes, saw that last night :-)
I heart this, except for the contract spreadsheet that says Rubens doesn't have a drive this year and that the Hungaroring is around until 2016. :)
It also says Button is driving for Honda :)
:)
i have a quick question on the driver career statistics sheet how is the percentage for points worked out?
Points divided by starts multiplied by ten.
thanks :)
I have a quick question... How do you have time to keep all of this up to date? Amazing!
Sidepodtime, innit :)
:) I guess it fills the time when somebody is plugging in and unplugging (almost wrong plugging out there) wires.
Dr Who and the DeLorean are real!!
Why can't I see proper quali on the iplayer :(
I watched what was up there and it's not the whole thing.....
They don't seem to have worked out the bit where it switched to BBC2 yet.
Oh I see. Well I have to go to work again in a bit. It's a bit ridiculous.
hehehehehe am very happy today, mum told me i'm going to spa next year! i got it in writing too :) hehehee
Let me see if I can do a reconstruction for you.
It was all rrRRRRRRrrrrrgggghhhRRRRrrrr. And then WooomWaaaahWooom. And then GGrrrrrrRRRggggRRRRR. And then FP2 finished.
I love that you got it in writing. How did you convince her of that?
yaaaaaaaay!
Awesome :)
i shall drop.io a picture of it... twas a late birthday present :D
Ah well I know the result now. I wandered off while they were having all their interviews and when I came back it had finished so I assumed they just hadn't got started and went to look up the result and got a bit of a surprise..... :P
I'm going to Spa! :) hehe
Heheh, how cool is that
Awesome!
i love my mum and her cute little ideas :)
Happy happy times Lou.
I sent a complaint to the BBC.
:D
why?
I couldn't watch the end of qualifying. The only stuff on iplayer is up to when liuzzi crashes in Q2 and there's a red flag.
:( ah no!! is that what Jake said spoke to the bbc about on twitter?
The hightlights on bbc sport include most of q2 and all of q3 so you cn catch up there http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/default.stm
Morning everyone ;)
It's not that important now. I'm off out again in a minute, the race will have happened by the time I get back. I just wasn't so happy I watched over 2 hours of a boring programme that mainly involved people yapping and it didn't have the results in it....
Wow!
yeah that's frustrating.
Alison especially for you I have reconstructed the end of Qualifying here in my office. With real water!
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/qualyonbbc2-wmv
update it, you know you want to ;)
The first couple of times you go back home and leave are hard, it gets much easier though each time you do it, there isnt a lot you can do but try and distract yourself by doing fun things, in a couple of days you should feel better!
*with alcohol = mandatory
I am just bitter I have to go back to work. Why can't I be retired like my dad, it looked like fun!
Afternooon all
Yeah retirement seems like fun to me :)
I am not the best person to answer that!!!
there was lots of sleeping in and eating involved, and then lying on the couch after lunch. And some deck building so the bbq has somewhere to live, but I could pay someone to do that for me.
:D
Now my internet is dead. I think i have to say it's gonna be one of those days. I did get to see your video though alex. Thanks!
It was quite a lot like that.
aww what would we do without you :D
If its any consilation i was anooyed by it too last night, but its on the website now! ...and i didnt have alexs brilliant reconstruction!
done
:D Awesome! The only think missing is the crowd chanting 'rubiniho, rubiniho'
on behalf of me and Kathi I also extend an invite to our super awesome mobile home if you need accommodation with a shower and bed :D
would this blog post be better with or without the images it now has? http://f1loonie.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/13-2010-grid/
She seemed very positive about it... on the other hand she seemed very positive asbout Linux.. and ...well ... umm
you're not allowed to use the shower though because we probably need it for storage
I'm sure i've asked this before, but on chrome. How do i get rid of the [1 new] because it dosent go automatically like it does on FF
:D
you're just being difficult :D
:D
look how happy the kitchen will make you though ;)
hahahaha :D
hehe, ok, i am going to try it again, will im you on skype if it all breaks!
I can already feel how comfy those kitchen chairs are :D
That kid has a Kimi hat on!
good luck
I think you have to wait for Mr C to finish the homepage ;)
:lol: great spot!
Belgium: where the hats are ridiculously brimmed.
I like the images I think
hehe Kathi sent me a lovely email the other day offering herself as a chaperone for me and she will make sure i'm all looked after and things :) so i may take you up on that once mum gets in :D
ah ok, no worries.
we still have beds available. you could even book two an have your own room
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8311751.stm
this is pretty good, it's got a thing about this years news. i forgot about half of it!!
the only thing missing is a shot of Mr Barrichello Senior who is like some sort of direct clone. Scary resemblance is scary.
Apart from the awesomeness of the track, the location.... did i mention the awesomeness of the track?
Maybe i should leave a voicemail explaining its awesomeness?
thanks :)
It is a strong resemblance
oops, got that slightly wrong
I get the feeling you might be slightly biased for some reason :D
She didnt offer to do that for me!!! *jealous* :P
I was explaining to my mother how I am going to Europe to meet up with a bunch of people but one of them I don't know their name or if they actually exist. Strangely she didn't seem the slightest bit concerned.
aha
love that
*raises eyebrow*
hehehe :)
To be fair unless Christine is really good at throwing her voice and has a ready supply of prosthetic cake making hands you can be pretty sure Mr C exists!
And opening tonight for the Arctic Monkeys: Prosthetic Cake Making Hands!
:D
:)
With a special appearance from Red Bull Cakes :)
:)
From Mr Noble:
Dry race, then? Good for Vettel in a sense, but it'll be tougher to make up places...
#sorryLou
hehhe hi em :) day two of commenting :)
but she could bring along literally any man on the planet and I would be none the wiser :D
On that note I am going to bed since I need to get some sleep before 2am when I have to get up again for silly Brazil. At least I am exhausted, why is travelling so tiring when all you do is sit there?
lol :D
He didn't mention before hand there was a massive rainstorm.
hello everyone, hope all is well!
baaaahhh! the one race i actually WANT rain.. hurruph :)
And from Mr Roberts - has this been brought up?
Hehe night Amy... hope you wake up this time!
oh no!! someone needs a hug!
night Amy :)
Oh, did you see my earlier mention - Jenson 14th, Seb 15th on the grid? That said, I'm VERY surprised they haven't opted to get Seb a fresh engine and gearbox.
See ya later Amy.
I thought Seb can't use anymore engines? He's on his 8th
Indeed and start from the pitlane, you avoid any first corner madness.
seb is 15? i thought seb was 16? oh dear...
Exactly - if he gets a 9th engine, he'll have to take a 10-place grid penalty. Since he's starting 15th anyway, he'll only get demoted 4 or 5 places (depending on how they'd rank him with Liuzzi). If Vettel pulls off a miracle to keep his hopes alive, he has a fresh-ish engine for Abu Dhabi, instead of one that went through Monza and Suzuka.
He can use a 9th but gets a 10 place grid penalty ;)
Luizzi is 15 isn't he?
he was, but liuzzi opted to get a fresh gearbox and take the penalty. with lewis 16th now and heikki 17th (both with KERS), the start will be rather interesting.
oh no :( i hadn't seen that.
I wonder if the consideration is that Liuzzi will also start from the pitlane and ahead of him which doesn't get him out of too much trouble.
Hmmm. Good point. They have a lot of faith that their Monza-Suzuka engine can take Abu Dhabi.
The engines have held up so far and they've pushed one of them way beyond its normal operating life. Vettel has nothing to lose by going with them.
i hope there is more wine in the house, i may need some after the race given that Button and Vettel are starting so close to each other and Jenson is making comments about having to have an amazing race... i fear he may push it too hard or something..
*non f1 related query*: with a week or so of no broadband imminent, was hoping someone could recommend a decent britcom/sitcom to stock up on...any suggestions would be much appreciated...
I dunno... I think he has nothing to lose by going for a new engine. As an engine gets older, it starts losing revs (if I remember what I read correctly), and you still risk blowing it up. Why say no to extra revs?
Glee comes to mind - but that's a US show.
Doctor Who? :D hehe.
Have you tried Coupling? Depends on your kind of preference I guess.
seen a couple of episodes, was worth watching for sure, more of a mighty boosh type myself. Thanks for reminding me about that show!
we may have to move onto the harder stuff. :P
eheheheh i just showed Emily this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqGpb3wliEg
hehehe the results were hilarious :D
I just heard the snips for the first time! (I think this means Karmic is working :D)
ehehe that's true :)
Ah Mighty Boosh..... Um... The IT Crowd. Whatshisthingamebloke is in the first series.
yay *dances*
hey emily! nice to see you around more often. :D
Noel fielding :)
tis only cause she's at my house today :)
thats the one, im up to date with the IT crowd, looks like good options are few and far between
hehe thank you! i no longer have work on the weekends so i can bother lou/watch f1 more...:D
Thatshisface ;)
wohoooo!!! :)
Yeah. The last British show I really liked was Free Agents with Stephen Mangan and Sharon Horgan (oh and a completely insane Anthony Head).
looking into that right now, cheers
Saad if you have a silly type of humour you should check out Green Wing. It's brilliant and completely insane.
Green Wing is god!
*raises eyebrow*
:P
Ok to to install mediabuntu, is the only way though the teminal? if so how do i open it?
He might disagree ;)
is that the one in hospital setting?
Which also has Stephen Mangan in it, init? ;)
Hehehe. :D
yes.
the terminal is under applications > accessories
Yeah, I consider it a british Scrubs but without a story really. Scrubs is fantastically funny but has such a brilliant story that keeps it going with the characters, whereas Green Wing is completely British and completely stupidly crazy.
Ah it does!
Oh yeah it told me that on the page (feels stoopid now)
Now I haven't seen it yet, and it very much depends on your sense of humour but I have heard excellent things about Psychoville. Basically if you liked League of Gentlemen then this is the thing for you.
ahh yeah i liked that one, only my landlady worked for the NHS and she hated any show set in a hospital, wouldnt let me watch that though she used to love f1
Also Green Wing has Mark Heap, which leads me onto the stupidly
underrated Spaced.
If you liked Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz you'll love Spaced. More Simon Pegg/Nick Frost awesomeness.
*loves spaced - loves it*
it's worth to create a launch-icon for the terminal - just drag the icon from the menu to the panel where you want it
I should check it out. I loved league of gentlemen despite it being completely twisted :P
spaced was wicked, there was only two seasons of that right?
It starts on Dave tomorrow so hopefully it'll get more fans sooner than later :)
Well then this is for you!
Sadly yes... :(
Ok, nearly there i think... i ran the command, but nothing seems to have changed? maybe i shouldnt have closed the terminal?
Actually perhaps not your scene. But for me the most laughs per episode of a recent thing on british telly was Not Going Out. Very much an old fashioned comedy show. But soooooo good. Lee Mack and Tim Vine.
Sadly has now been cancelled after 3 series.
try: sudo apt-get install skype
Heart that show.
For a modern BBC comedy that was a really good show. So much better than most comedy sitcoms the BBC has put on a Friday night for years and they just threw it away. Bah.
G'Day everyone!
I'm not particularly liking the prospect of having to wake up three hours after Brazil finishes though... ;)
another one for the list, thanks!
The subbuteo scene from series two is just... Sublime!
To give you that warm and fuzzy feeling, here's a quick update on the Sidepodradio donations: http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/10/18/sidepodradio-gives-you-wings-for-life/
Do you watch/like Peep Show/Mitchell and Webb look?
Afternoon
saw the first season of Mitchell and Webb, better than peter serafinwhich(i know i misspelt that)
Ah yes... Both excellent!
Although I have to say the first series of Mitchell and Webb Look is far better than the second and third. The radio series is very good.
The recent set up on channel four was Peep show/IT crowd/the Inbetweeners....comedy gold for an evening :D
I agree.. I stopped watching during the 2nd series. Not familiar with their radio stuff.
who can forget numberwang, that had me in stitches
I liked Michael6, the chatshow with an android :-)
Here's a clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUaCMZh7DZo&feature=player_embedded
Peter Serafinowicz has found his perfect medium, and it's twitter: http://twitter.com/serafinowicz
I love both shows. Although M&W got quite old...
Peep show is brilliant though.
I really enjoyed his show!
The Basily Fawlty Hotline always has me in stitches.
:-)
I still like Mitchell and Web Look so clearly I'm easily amused :)
Black sky at noon? You're on the moon.
Yup, followed him last week after I saw a retweet (may even have been from you). He was good on Buzzcocks too.
Oh I do like it! I just think the sketches eventually got a tad predictable. Numberwang always makes me giggle though :D
Dad and I have successfully moved my 'big' furniture. I have returned to the old flat for a bit of a tidy up, and also because the internet is here so I can watch and comment the race :-)
I'm going to get lunch and do a comment catch-up, then back to it for a couple of hrs..
I did retweet him last week yes: Feeling tired? There's a nap for that. (via @serafinowicz)
And Chris Addison as well: @mrchrisaddison Thought about launching a range of Death-related soft furnishings, but realised there would be reaper cushions
almost anything Armando Ianucci was involved with turned out really good in my opionion...
they're at their best in their pure silliness like numberwang imo x)
I don't even notice it being predictable. my favourite sketch is where the trap door and revolving walls are installed and the health and safety concerns :D
And as Pat wonders out, I return. Hey all.
Greetings.
FACT!
If you ever get a chance to check out the Armando Ianucci Shows (his tv series). They are hard to track down but sooooo worth it. His first show of the series was shown on Channel 4 on September 11th 2001. Which meant not many people have noticed them!
I like that :-)
I really like the bits when the two of them are sitting there between takes.
tried without succees, still on my list, closest i got was a documentary about Milton's Paradise Lost, not comedy but interesting all the same
It is available on DVD still I think.
It's not a British show but can I suggest Arrested Development? Such an epic show... but no-ones heard of it and it's just a crying shame...!!!!
Honestly the funniest American comedy sitcom I've watched.
ill take your word for it
cheers everyone, all of a sudden im spoilt for choice!
What have we learnt today?
We all watch way too much TV.
:)
Here's a great example of the Armando Ianucci shows. Plus I had forgotten it has Stephen Mangan in it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KclC9DKNaZE
Another thing we have learnt today
If a show has Stephen Mangan in it, it will probably be awesome.
I have lunch.
Is that the one with Mister Tony Blair?
Absolutely. I also saw him in the play Norman Conquests. Which was absolutely suburb.
hehe, true, and to back you up on that assertion, from the US i lean towards shows like The Wire
Interesting post from F1 Punter about who may or may not come from the back of the grid.
The standout feature about this bet for me is how well Fisichella has improved from poor grid positions already this season. In the fourteen races in which the Italian has been classified, he has made up a total of fifty-one places. That is second only to Timo Glock in the field and we know how much praise the German has received for his race drives this season.
Excellent!
How many of them were driving a Ferrari?
11. I think.
that's not too difficult to do if almost everyone that was in front of you fails to finish the races
Afternoon all :)
Hi all, it is definitely as much a reflection on poor qualifying as it is getting the job done in the race.
Here's a table for all the drivers if anyone's interested:
http://f1punter.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/npg.jpg
It seems very odd to me that its nearly 2pm and yet we're still waiting for a race!
hey
afternoon. Looking forward to a certain release this upcoming week? :P
Key stat in places made up:
Button = +15
Barrichello = +8
Vettel = -9
Slightly wrong on the race classifications, Glock and Rosberg don''t have 100% as they finished a lap down at one race I believe.
Oooh, interesting. Confirms what we thought about Vettel :D
Hey Scott.
Ohhhhhh yes :D
It definitely makes you wonder about Vettel's overtaking doesn't it?
This has made me want it even more:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmgyVAlD6Lk
Fiesta with a Ford RS200 engine and 4WD! :D
Too true - we've been wondering about it all season...
Still means they are classified right?
Your right he was a lap down, am pretty sure it was at Spain.
...That is a fast fiesta. *gulps*
:D :D :D
Coool!
Brilliant :-)
Yes but you haven't completed 100% of the laps, thats the way I see it anyway.
Isn't classification completing 90% of race distance? I just excluded Retirements and DSQs. I know what you are saying about 100% of the laps though.
Ah ok. :)
hah :-)
anyone seeing this on autosport.com feed - you click on an entry link and instead of taking you to the expected page, you just receive a full screen advert and no content?
happened twice now.
Have had that happen for about a week, it's VERY annoying
seems to be redirecting to a site called:
http://da.feedsportal.com/
Weather update from NobleF1:
A local Brazilian journalists says forecast suggests a torrential downpour from 3pm
That's because it's really sunny in Wales, so with that logic, it must be raining everywhere else
it's a bit cheeky, because it happens BEFORE you reach the site, so it has no idea you're a paying subscriber and thus you get ads anyway.
rude!
No, its just absolutly freezing up here.
On that note, homework to do so shall catch you lot for the start of the race.
Bad news for Vettel, good news for Barrichello, GREAT news for Button.
I'm supposed to be doing that. Maybe I should spend 2.5 hours doing my essay before the race...
I've had nothing. which feed are you using?
HELLO.
Briatore To Sue The FIA
Goooood times
It was never the end of the matter.
Will this play any part in the election on Friday? And will it help Ari by giving the FIA a dirty image, or will it help Todt as delegates feel that the FIA is under attack again and need to unite as Max had urged them to, but now with Todt?
But if Flav's suit fails, won't this just get Flav into more trouble?
Good afternoon! I am back, I have chromium on linux,
kathi has been amazingly helpfull!
This time yesterday i had no OS now i have a fully functioing and very friendly one :D
I guess it is a danger moving it into a different legal domain. But it really shouldn't be too hard for a lawyer to prove that the FIA is a joke!
Psychoville was very weird and a bit disturbing... but I liked it
But the last time the FIA was taken to court, the legal courts refused to intervene and said it was the FIA's domain.
Ah that's annoying, I'm glad I unsubscribed to the feed a couple of weeks ago (it was dominating my feed and I was checking the site itself every day anyway)
good question. somehow this weird one:
http://rss.feedsportal.com/feed/autosport/Formula_One
doesn't look like they're using it any more?
who do you support in that one?
Hmm I'm using this http://www.autosport.com/rss/f1news.xml
that seems much better. wonder when/why they changed it?
Is it too late in the day to leave a voicemail?
No idea, I haven't used it long :)
go for it.
Have to get in some YAS love ;)
I guess it depends on whether they feel the punishment is purely a sporting punishment?
The only way is up.
Afternoon all.
I went to the gym just before lunch, and in just one seven-minute period I almost scored a full house in Allo Allo bingo. There was:-
- Italian captain making inappropriate advances to Helga
- "Now listen very carefully – I shall say this only once"
- Rene eyeing up potential barmaids
- An appearance by Inspector Crabtree ("I saw two men leaking by the dustbins" etc)
- The English airmen having to be concealed at short notice, owing to the arrival of Herr Flick
All I was missing was a "You stupid woman!" and some japes involving a priceless work of art and some bratwurst.
Being on the bottom line sure ain't no fun.
Its a great track!
:D
heheh :-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lwlr5ZAoQ4
:) :) :)
you can boost your mic in the menu I told you about, ask the nice skype lady about the best setting
Just left the worst voicemail ever *dies*
hehe. you may send another?
You can hear me!?
Queen of pop unable to stay on the treadmill?
♥
You want me to die again? :lol:
I dont know how bad it is or if doing it again would make it any better...
If it is terribble let me know!
Actually that reminds me... I think Christine has quite a lot of my outtakes for Sidepodradio she was thinking about compiling for me. I think I have left the worst ever voicemail.
Oooooh, I had forgotten!
Did I forget to mention, when you install ubuntu all your thoughts become mine!!! Buahhahahaha!
Hm maybe I should try to sleep tonight
#nothere
My 'Questions for Bloggers' interviewed was interrupted for about a minute when AEK Athens scored a goal.
And I have reminded you :)
Which reminds me. I re-promised you something yesterday... Gets to it.
:)
I loved the moment in the comments when Christine asked if you had the tv on in the background of your show.
In other news, my devious strategem to overcome the unwelcome interaction between dinner time and the end of the race has been to braise some brisket in red wine in the slow cooker.
How are the other UK-and-Europe-based commenters dealing with this?
In other other news, the sporting afternoon is beginning with Bath vs Stade Francais (who are playing in some hideous pink confection).
It was an added effect to make the show more 'comfy'
We had a big problem with this. I was planning to have a sunday roast at about 3pm. But then we decided that we weren't really that hungry yet. So that kind of went out of the window. Now I'm planning the difficult action of doing all the prep for the roast pre-tv. And then throwing the chicken in the oven so it will come out approximately after the race finishes. I'm doing pan fried veg rather than roasted for complicated reasons which means I can deal with them after the race.
That is, as long as the race isn't extended...
I'm afraid to say that I just had a massive musical craving for Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. I'm not sure how it happened, or why. But it did - and I'm man enough to admit it :)
I just had a sandwich and a cup of tea. I have a 'chicken curry soup inna pot' (cheap from Morrisons!) I can quickly heat later. I should see what else I have.
Holds up cigarette lighter (application on iPhone) and waves arm.
I cant do voicemail.
I tried to leave another one and it was worse... had to abandon it...
Hmm. Finding myself on YouTube watching Yazzm the links led me to Technotronic. I managed to stop because I have to sort out the flat for the next hour before BBC coverage starts...
Turn around.
How come I don't end up being man enough when I admit to stuff?
Bight eyes! The video is scary!
Is it because every now and then you get a little bit nervous?
:) :) :)
I think you're man enough RG!
had a response from autosport re: rss feed:
"Some cheeky people are inserting ads into an unofficial copy of our feeds. Feeds at autosport.com/rss do not have any ads."
i've no idea where my unofficial came from though?
I like you Alex.
And, back to work.
he'll only be making it right.
I ended up in an even stranger place...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N81UChK78WY
So I have used Genius on Total Eclipse of the Heart and it has given me this awesome playlist (which yes does mean I own all of this):

It came on a Christmas compilation. It was the one song I almost edited out actually. However I felt honesty is the best policy.
3rd voicemail left... i think this one was better!
I completly understand if you dont use any of them though!
I don't think I can actually listen to it. Certainly not at this time of the year.
Even more strangeness: Blancmange's non-hit Game Above My Head set to clips from "the classic movie They Live":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3A0-6nGBmw
Madness.
I think it is scary you had it.
i didn't just make it up? it has all the content, but with added... ads.
Mine which I have had for ages is: http://www.autosport.com/rss/f1news.xml
You have Nancy Sinatra, but it recommends Cher's dreadful cover of Bang Bang? Not so genious!
got to wonder where yours came from, maybe someone linked you to it?
i wish i'd known. i've maybe had this feed since autosport starting doing feeds. thinking about it, probably before they starting doing feeds...
we're talking 3 or more years ago. i can't remember what i did last week!
hehe :)
It would appear I don't own the original sadly. The Cher thing isn't really my fault... But rather the person who I share my library with... mentioning no names... ;)
:D
I've just had a look and there doesn't seem to be a way in google reader to tell how long i've had the subscription. But it must be more than a few years.
well, ya coulda told me the feed i was using was not the feed i was supposed to be using, nor was it the feed you're using. how's a guy meant to know?
How was I to know that you were using a different feed. I feel I must have told you ;) (You have already said you won't remember this because it was more than a week ago ;)
Go Brawn!!!
Harhar, wrong thread. :D Please ignore.
I looked back to try and find a reference and it does look like nobody has ever posted the correct link to the autosport feed... Google errerously suggested this page because it contains F1 News I guess. The comments reveal certain bits of Sidepodlore... Apple still important. Sidepodsister is better at numbers than the man who does the numbers! And Mr C saying, "what was the point of bringing Rubens to Honda if they weren't going to listen to him - who says F1 doesn't go around in circles ;)
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2007/08/16/podcast-pie-charts/
So, we should be here until the live thread appears?
STOP!
Daily Time!

Updated already!
"World Champion Collection Available On Monday"
OOOOH.
Those things are always ready. Someone somewhere has a load of Vettel and Barrichello world champion gear
In other news, what was going on with Cheryl Cole and her anti-climb shoulders?
O.O *jumps up and down*
whoa.. incoming blog links have lit up like a christmas tree with searches for "martin gridwalk tanya"
There's a load of ex-Woolies Prince William and wossername plates somewhere, too...
The Sky Germany presenter?
I seem to remember one year Willi Weber giving away/losing a load of Michael Schumacher world champion merchandise when he didn't win.
That's her
1997 - for obvious reasons.
WHo is she? Tanya who?
Martin shut her out of the interview queue for the second time today during the gridwalk
I have only read the sirst paragraph of this so I have no idea what the rest of it says but Toyota are not deciding its 2010 F1 budget until the middle of November.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/79570
No idea. I just know it is Tanya
15th of November is the big date.
Google "Tanya Sky.de F1"
Yep
Toyota is still considering retaining Timo Glock for next year, but sources suggest that the German is the preferred choice by Renault to slot in alongside Robert Kubica.
That was so funny earlier when he bumped into her on the gridwalk :-)
Ooooh.
Was worse than the last one!
Thats been going around for a while now.
Evening gang.
I have just about come back to earth.

Will there be a debrief?
Don't think so, too fast
It was classier than that too
aww man I just got sent a pic of my nephew :)
Around 9
Thanks Christine
This will be tough to find. Must find a video of that montage. :D
That was quick :)
What nationality is he?
Ah, thanks - and Cheers Christine :)
Although, around the 3:30 mark....
New Zealander... but will be raised as a South African I guess ;)
yes?
Think I might go to the Jenson thing at Bluewater on tuesday :-) try and get some pics ! :-)
Possible. Would need to compare when the show appears on the iPlayer
Well, at least I can say now that I've talked to a Formula 1 World Champion - although he wasn't champion yet at the time. :D
Christine did you get my email?
Right. Let me know the results. :)
Your family is very confused
Tell me about it!
I hope you are doing a voicemail
Was skype invented for you?
you'll have to wait and see.
And mine too?
I hate all of the britsh public....
ALL OF THEM
Sounds promising
What have they done?
Why??
Love you to Jon...
Wassup Jon?
Why?
Voted John and Edward through to the next round of X Factor
hehehe best day ever! amazing race! Amazing Champions AND i'm going to Spa next year! what more could a girl want! :D
what did we do?
You're fine aslong as you didnt vote on the x factor for john and edward grrrr
Oh.
I don't even watch :P
I can't believe people still watch that rrrrrrubish!
oh.
ummmmmmm, well, I pressed the wrong number.
;)
it's aweful, i hate it. but i still watch it
I haven't watched any of that. I assume those are the annoying twins I keep hearing about
This is the first year I haven't.
I have had withdrawal symptoms.
How quickly things change - X-Factor topics now 2nd, 4th, 5th, AND 8th on trending. Button now just 10th. Boo.
We were a bit busy.
Must go to bed now - uber late.
Night all.
Then you can't even blame Steven Roy, just yourself ;)
G'night Journeyer
Night Mr Journeyer
Before I go, a bomb from F1Scoop:
night
Ex-Boy Band member?
Wow - the Iceman nearly became puddleboy didn't he? http://twitpic.com/m18nu
Hmm. I think he will, they will get a contract signed pretty sharpish now.
Must be the look, I guess. :D
Unless someone else scooped him up already.
oh :(
McLaren? :o
Might Journeyer
now that would be awesome
#sorrybutnotthatsorrylou
Boy band member?
he will be with brawn next year.
Williams instead of Barrichello?
Jake just tweeted let's hope our currently broken plane mend itself otherwise we're here for a while.. Doesn't sound good
Well, it can't be Williams or Toyota, surely? Gotta be McLaren if he's leaving.
Thats the spirit ;)
no... he can't go there. i will cry a lot... that would be rrrrrubish.
Some love-hate relationship they have. :D
why?
Ferrari since they only have 8 drivers signed for next season
Indeed, no other team with seats, other than Brawn can guareentee a title defence next year.
I still want Kimi back at Woking
I think it is a political technical problem to let them party. There are other planes
he belongs at brawn and i am not a fan of mclaren.. plus he'd be no.2 to Lewis and i would hate hate HATE that.
BMW/QADBAK/14th Team/That Lot?
Agreed, pure speculation I think
oh yeah exactly... it's kimi's seat.
Well we should know soon where he will be next year :)
he wouldnt be number 2 to lewis, he's a good driver, they'd be pretty even.
Technicaly lewis would be number 2 :P
F1Scoop has usually been accurate though. We shall see.
Course not, the only Brit who should be there is di Resta.
IF it happened, which it won't. They'd have equal status
Quite right
Alonso is the best driver but was still number 2 to Hamilton (or as Ron called it at the time, equal status).
Exactly, thats what McLaren do...
apparently.. :)
And how many years has Ron been away from mclaren for?
And we know how good McLaren are at handling that.
I am sure the journos would love that just so they could make puns like "hes best of Di Resta"
different mclaren, different owner. i think you'd be surprised
That will help admittedly.
Less than one
:D
oh yeah :) i thought it was 2007, but my point still stands
Not a different owner. Plus Whitmarsh has effectively been running it for a while anyway.
owner/runner, same deal ;)
Whitmarsh is different to Ron and Lewis has grown on me this year which is shocking clearly Ron leaving has helped ;)
Need to go to bed, if I start listening to the debrief I'll never get up for work in the morning. Looking forward to catching up with the podcast. 'Night all.
See ya Janna
Looks like Flavio is not going quietly. He is suing the FIA. Let there be war

Ooh tweetdeck on Ubuntu is really nice!
Live thread is up for the show:
http://www.sidepodcast.com/livecommenting/
:D hehehe :) Mr C you have to come to bluewater! Croftie will be there! :)
I just noticed that the podcast awards nominations close at midnight. Don't know which timezone they are in.
If you have time pop over and nominate www.sidpodcast.com in the sport category
http://www.podcastawards.com/
Done, but I nominated sidepodcast.com - is that OK?
What a day..
Good point, is that the URL to put in ?
Great day isn't it !
I guess so, but not sidpodcast or even sidepodcats
I have nominated now :-)
Sidepodcats - worth a second per lap ?
i don't want this day to end, it's been great :)
oops
Me neither, I feel like I wanna go out and shout it from the highest building in london !
i would do that now but my mum would kill me... plus i don't live in london... if you do decide to scream it out of the window or whatever please video it and then drop.io it :D
haha I wish I was still in london. Maybe i'll go up the gherkin and shout it out a window - if there was one ! :-)
Surely she knows already anyway?
she is asleep and she would be angry i'm up commenting rather than being up working :D
:D
Any other suggestions before I click "submit"?
This early morning race has completely confused my day. I'm sleepy and I just started work.
and yeah she does, she was screaming at the tv as Emily and I were. :D fun times :)
Where are you ?
Sunny Oz
Was this race an all-time record for Leggard saying stupid things?
I must be on some sort of come-down after such an busy race.... everything feels empty.
He kept wittering on about Jenson's chances of winning the championship while we watched Rosberg retire.
I thought "Button is now leading the race" was a good one. Um no, not even close Leggy
New daily: http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/10/19/daily-19th-october-2009/
And I am off to bed. Night all :)
night Christine :)
I thought he was excellent the first half of the race, i completly forgot to change over to Ant and Croft.
When i did i ended up changing back as hearing about every other sporting event so often distracts so much from the flow of the commentary. they need a dedicated feed
Oh and going on and on about the Ab Dhabi pit lane tunnel.
he lead the race for like one turn...
Night, great show! well done!
Night
Nope, he never got in front
Night Christine
Did Kobayashi end up getting any penalties?
I don't think so
Didn't see any
Amazing, since he seemed to spend the race driving like a BTCC driver.
Oh crikey.. a very early morning race then ! just gone midnight here.
