Happy December, all! Yes, the last month has arrived. I hope you are going to have a chocolatey breakfast.
It's Lewis from the comments (Mr C's No 1 fan!). Here's some news that I found:
- Manor have been officially taken over by Virgin and will now be known as Virgin Racing. (There is a joke I would add, but I think it would be a tad inappropriate!)
- Canada's back! I am so happy! This is the only circuit where there are actually incidents on the track instead of boring processions.
- In Sidepodnews, don't forget to join in the fun for the 2009 Sidepodchristmas Carol. This year, it is Jingle Bells and you can see mine, Christine's and everybody else's lyrics on the wiki. We've had some lyrics about Rubens, about the Brawn rise to glory, and about Bernie's grip on the weather. We need more, and we also need voices! Pick up the phone and call!!
I think that will do. I hope your chocolate will be tasty, and have a merry Christmas. Tell us what you plan to do over the festive period, and as ever, Christine shall see you in the comments (and you might see me too!)
nice plugs mr. lewis, good show sir :)
Pinch punch etc
aha. love that. Well done Lewis!
also, a quick plug for something new from us:
http://sidepodcast.com/2009/12/01/f1-advent-calendar-2009-day-one/
sadly doesn't come with it's own snowflake page :(
yet! ;)
Great post Lewis :)
I completed NaBloPoMo yesterday, which makes me very happy.
Today, I'm off to an interview. Hopefully this time the JobCentre have given me the appropriate details...
awww i love that :)
how many words for ya novel?
Time for me to sleep :) can't wait for the the second f1 advent calender :)
night all! xx
night lou :)
night!
night
I love this video not just because it's well edited, but mainly for the song. Awesome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vnYPQzB0is
It's New Order "Someone Like You"
love that
Some of those shots I love. I think a car looks good to music when it's bobbing about over the bumps in the road. Looks like it's moving to the beat :P
Watch from 2'31 to 2'40. My favourite bit :P
it almost looks like a game. scary.
love it
Ooh, and 3'44 to 3'56. Those two shots in the wet to that part of the chorus - fantastic.
Question to Mr C, or Christine if she's still up...where do you get all your amazing photos from?
hello people, hello December...
am still here.
funny you should ask, because the copyright display bit is broken in the new SPC theme. i have to fix it this week, or we'll get grief for not assigning credit. f1 big picture currently lists the copyright beneath each pic though and spc will soon do the same (again): http://www.f1minute.com/category/f1-big-picture/
sometimes we buy the rights to use the pics from getty, but most come from teams.
Hi Guille
Nice plug!
so for example...that FIF1 one, you got off say, their website and then put the credit next do it?
nope. you have to apply for permission. each team provides a bunch of images for editorial use (e.g. you can't use them in your header or create an image gallery from them), they accompany editorial content.
:)
a long december. hullo :)
ah ok so is basically what i get with F3/WSR/GP2 at the moment.
thank you :)
exactly.
you can sign up with the likes of sutton. but they cost about the same as getty. more choice and better archives, but not free.
my long december started two weeks ago. it seems everybody I work with had a surge of productivity, all of them at the same time...
luckily I'll take vacations starting the 17th :-)
ah ok, thanks
For what i want what i've got is great. For all the main series about from F2 (at the moment. pleaaaaaase). I've got a login, and they basically gallery all their pictures and i can download any i want to put on the site. All they ask is that i put a link to their sites, but there are more than enough pictures.
there's also picapp, but it screws up the doohickey, so we can't use it at the moment :(
yeah, picapp works good for f1 and blogs, but am not a huge fan of it, plus its not great for other series, plus for some reason it always seems to go awol on my blog. not sure why though.
Very well done, thanks for that.
Goodnight.
night pat.
night!
night pat
ok. now that I have google wave account... what do I do with it? (#existential_questions)
good question. if you figure it out, let me know!
:D I don't think even google has a clue on what it serves for.
sleep pour moi. adios
bye jon
“Felipe Baby” has born today...
brilliant news :)
That was posted here at 11:30pm ish. The baby is Felipe Bassi Massa so Baby Felipe Baby
bassi means baby? hehe!
I think that is a middle name
Jon posted the original comment from Edd Straw
http://sidepodcast.com/2009/11/30/daily-30th-november-2009/#comment-610727
not sure if i plugged this, but the last in the testers series:
http://sidepodcast.com/2009/12/01/who-are-they-anyway-force-india-young-drivers/
a dedicated testing thread should go up about 8am, and we'll try and keep up-to-date with goings on throughout the day as usual.
wow, i totalled failed at must comment monday.
:(
bassi is rafaelas surname
Are you stalking him now?
ooooh. thanks you.
:)
The Virgin / Manor announcement is to be made today according to ITV teletext
and i just realised november 30 is their wedding anniversary. Nicely timed, Massa family!
best prep a breakout. i literally downed tools 3 minutes ago :)
You are stalking him.
It is also St Andrews day which makes the kid half Scottish
press assoc, have the story:
Manor boss John Booth and Virgin supremo Richard Branson are due to announce the long-awaited sponsorship tie-up on Tuesday.
did the fia thing take them by surprise?
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5iDpkwdxrHUST5Em5HkLVbSaCro7A
So have BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8387634.stm
not stalking. I dont stalk those who are not finnish. :D
Looks like it but it is a nice pkug for their announcement
You are not stalking. You just happen to know her maiden name and their anniversary? Not sure I am convinced.
i know the full names of 99% of the drivers girlfriends and im definitely not stalking all of them! The anniversary i did not know, i only knew it was in november so google helped me with the date
You only knew it was November? I imagine very few of the F1 obsessed people who frequent this site could tell you what month any driver in history was married in.
i only know because it happened during a season i watched, i couldnt tell you when anyone was married pre-2005
mika?
Morning, folks.
how's journeyer?
An excellent weekend, with much to celebrate. And it seems I've put more than a bit of weight after all the eating this weekend... :D
So what have I missed?
morning/night journeyer
new stuff: http://sidepodcast.com/2009/12/01/f1-advent-calendar-2009-day-one/
great stuff: http://sidepodcast.com/2009/11/30/sidepodchat-bernd-rosemeyer/
plenty 'o stuff: http://sidepodcast.com/2009/11/30/who-are-they-anyway-mclaren-young-drivers/
Mr C is now excellent at plugging, I see. Hehehe.
talking of which, you have to listen to this too: http://goforodd.com/
no idea when mika got married. None at all.
what about 'where"?
finland?
boo. i thought you would've know to the nearest church :(
#sidepodspace update
A Soyuz with three members of the permanent ISS crew has just undocked to return them to Earth in Kazakstan. This was a planned crew return which I have just found out about.
Morning
morning jackie.
it's not a little bit early for the 'morning'?
What in Earth are you doing awake at this time?
Ah, hiya Guille .. sometimes I just wake up early, it's a real pain in the bum
It's not bad, I got to sleep till 4. Usually when I do my insomniac thing its 2 or 3
ouch :-(
On the plus side I get to talk to you guys
Insomnia is bad. I stayed up to watch Monday night football which just finished so I am thinking of getting some sleep now.
You need to learn to talk in your sleep. Much better for you
Do you have to start work at a set time Steven?
lol maybe I do that too
:D
it's the night shift (although I'm way past my time now. I should be at bed if it weren't by this thing I have to write)
I don't need to get up in the morning or I would have been in bed hours ago
Ah cool.
Work or blogging Guille?
Of course I need to monitor testing and there is the Virgin announcement to look out for
I thought I remembered that there were webcams at Jerez but I couldn't find a link
work. a friend asked me to write a 'general public' article related to my work, I forgot, and now I'm more than a week past the deadline...
Good luck with that then :)
thanks :-)
I can't get anything from the circuit website to load on my computer regardless which browser I use. I know Barcelona has a couple of webcams but they are pretty useless
I suppose I should say SHOO to you both then .. won't hold you up :)
It's a pants website
jaja yes. but if I leave SPC I'll fall asleep...
I just started listening to the advent podcast so I am here for another 4 minutes
I must listen to it too .. lol we did one also, not a podcast version obviously. I did think Oh I'll stay up till midnight to publish and tthen hought oh it's okay will do it in the morning.
Have you seen the Giggles Advent calendar?
http://gigglesadvent.com/
well, you are still before the morning, so you're on time ;-)
Mope, will have a look.
I am going to head off to bed since it is 5am. Way too late for me.
Good night all
ok, first section of the article done(-ish). time to sleep now. see you!
I mean nope. Yes Guille I published it for Mav an hour ago
Good night!
Sleep well :)
If you get bored oing Amy. She likes company at this time of day.
AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She should be along shortly now.
Definitely going now
Good night
LOL G'night
ooh company! Too bad im actually working :(
Booo
Indeed!
Im 4 hours ahead and still only start work an hour earlier than you!
There is a real man sleeping on a desk out in the atrium, as part of an advert to give you better sleep. I think this needs a sneaky photo and a blog post!
hooray one hour to go then its fleetwood mac time! Well, time to go to the arena time. There is still 45 minutes after that til fleetwood mac time.
I hope it wont be disappointing if they play the chain and there is no F1 ;)
Morning!! My Daily Post is visible to the world! ;)
good thing i liked the chain before i ever associated it with f1 :D #notbritish
Well done :)
#newcylinder
It appears at first glance to be some sort of collaborative document editor with extra fiddly bits attached? I probably got that wrong, just 1st impressions.
Oh Good. Startled Bunny. I need to have a Tremayne at you. I was listening to your excellent podcast on the train home last night and because there were some songs I liked, I was eagerly awaiting to hear the song list at the end.
But GRRR Your distorted voice made it impossible to hear the names GRRR!!! :D
Any chance of telling me who wrote the song called 'DIY Slab Mum Party B***h' from 'A Band Called Quob'? ;)
Haha. I think it was "DIY (Celebrity Murder Party Orgy Of Sound Mix) by A Band Called Quinn". Was that my voice you were trying to decipher?
It must have been! Otherwise it was a great podcast!
it's crazy huh. You seem to work quite late in the evening too though?
It's ICQ Chat from 1999!
except more confusing!
I miss ICQ :(
I don't :-)
I used to love it - I used to have realtime chats with all my mates in the evenings, even had a girlfriend on it (all people that I also knew in the flesh)...
I managed to make a "wave" which had a yes/no poll on it, and a google map. woo.hoo. apparently you can see the document as it's being typed. I don't know why I was excited by this. I've barely used skype, or any kind of one-to-one/group communication app. Why would I now want people to see me type?
And yet it was completely pointless, right?
yup. look. i can show a map. can you see it? (Yes/No/Maybe)
if i was planning a road trip, or a show with somebody, then it might be the tiniest bit useful, but there is skype. it's quicker to talk than to type it out (although us "distorted" types would have to repeat ourselves) ;)
i'll see you all later, need to shift it, picking someone up 2 miles down the road in 20 minutes. i might not get there on time if i don't go now.
byeeee :)
Just looked at the official FIA list and it hurt....
Not to see Kimi there...
he will be on a different FIA list
ooh good seats!
Neil Cole (Dave's WRC presenter) has suggested Raikkonen has signed up for a whole season of WRC. Wonder if he knows something we don't?
I do have ideas how to make quite good use of wave at work. But with their current rate of accepting new people and their speed of allowing people to invite some people and the time it takes to actually process that invite it will take quite a while before I can build useful network of wavers :-)
I always hated how slow it was to start, the annoying sound it made when it started and how it slowed down the good old think pad :-) then later I found out that I can use other clients for ICQ chats (like Trillian). By that time however Skype arrived and ICQ got fired :-)
#MFC: Bitterwallet says that local news is starting to charge for online access.
They reckon that this will only work for local news because it will be too easy to find national/international news for free. I must admit, I'd pay for news if I couldn't find it anywhere else...
not yet
Yeah, I'd happily pay for news. In fact I still buy a newspaper quite regularly. I can't be doing with local news though so this wouldn't work so well on me.
I would definitely be willing to pay for news from my source of choice though. I'm quite picky.
I only now realized it is December already...
Oh, I should point out that the comments may contain naughty words. Sorry guys!
lies!
He seems to suggest differently: http://twitter.com/neilcole/status/6229848735
Woah! I never knew it was possible to feel so strongly about the Worksop Guardian.
My favourite comment was: "B******s to that". Got his point across in 3 words :D
But aren't local news websites just rehashes of whatever tat is in the local paper - usually free anyway?
Yes. But local papers aren't free here?
I read that as soon but not yet. But I've been wrong a lot lately :)
You are becoming RG-esque ;)
Really? Well that's a rubbish business model then. Newspapers make more money from advertising. Advertising works the more people that read it. Give away a paper for free and you not only have a large readership, but advertisers willing to cough up money. Simples.
Free papers are pants though. Often they are full of errors and advertorials :(
We have two local papers, one "broadsheet" and one more "tabloidy" and they both have a strong local readership.
Isn't the whole point that people are coming to realise that giving things away for free isn't a functional way to make money. London can't support the number of free papers it has and it's huuuuuuuge.
But there are four free papers here in Denmark - and they are so large they have regional editions. Problem is that they are full of adverts!
We have a local rag and one that covers the county, which you have to pay for. I have to say the latter grinds my gears more than the freebie does. Mostly because it tries to be controversial and every page is full of angry people: http://apiln.blogspot.com/
that is what happens when the 30 days months end and the watch shows 31 instead of 1 ...
Yeah the metro here does regional editions. They're facing competition from a couple of others in London.
I read a huuuuge thing about it a couple of months ago. News organisations in this country are in a dire state. Advertising alone is not able to support high quality investigative journalism. Which is ironic considering the number of people who want to go into journalism.
You can't expect to be paid to do reporting, if you're not willing to pay to read the products.
That's brilliant! I love the angry people photos!
the problem with opening acts is now there is 30 minutes of nothing.
"Neil Cole (Dave's WRC presenter) has suggested Raikkonen has signed up for a whole season of WRC."
I just need to KNOW...
NOW!!!!!!...............
Calm down dear!
"Calm down dear!"
Grrrr....
There's nothing more infuriating than someone telling you to calm down!
Indeed. My response is normally "I AM CALM!!!!" :D
The trouble is every time there is a story about one of the other drivers... and especially McLaren I feel like e mailing the site to say that "I really don't give a damn about these other guys..... just tell me about Kimi..."
But, of course, that's totally rational behaviour in the circumstances....
Thats volentry working from home. They dont really seem to mind how late i work ;)
http://gigglesadvent.com/
needs more ads :P
I wonder if as we get closer to Christmas there should be more snow.
#MFC
An interesting set of suggestions by the guy who invented the hashtag
http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2009/11/08/new-microsyntax-for-twitter-three-pointers-and-the-slasher/
:D
Holidays are coming, holidays are coming, holidays are coming.....
Morning all! Driving lesson in 15 minutes! :D
Morning all. Woohoo, time to open door number one...
Although I feel really icky today :(
I have just been asked complicated questions about the backstreet boys in the office. One of my colleagues confused BSB with N'sync! Cuh!
They confused British Sky Broadcasting with a pop act? How odd!
WORK!!
eek
amy and Christine will NOT be pleased.
:D
Can you wait 24h more?
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80382
will there be "Felipe's Baby" song ?
hehe. i don't think so :)
Who's the 2001 world champion?
hehe. Poor Kimi he'll never get away from Schumi
How can any questions about BSB be complicated? They are Boys from the Backstreet that sing songs and dance about a bit.
Backstreet's back. Alright?
OMG! Another awesome day! Just had a quick driving lesson blasting up the A11, driving round Norwich and then back home, only stalling once!
And I come home to find an e-mail from Classic Team Lotus. They're very interested in me and want to meet me!!!! O.M.G! :D :D :D
WOOOOOO!!!
wow! that's great news! go you!
I was expecting maybe one or two replies from teams but for them to kinda say "Thanks but no thanks". I can't believe that two race teams already are interested in me! This is awesome :D
i think i missed when this was originally dicussed. what are they interested in you doing (sorry if you've already mentioned this)
I sent out a CV and a covering letter to 9 race teams around my area just looking for some unpaid work experience so I could possibly get a foothold into the motorsport industry. Classic Team Lotus are actually asking if I want to consider a full-time position!
wow! that's great!! i'm happy for you.
also thank you for reminding me about lorenzo :) i shall email him later and remind him of his promise as it has been weeks now.
i've got to be off now, choir practise but i'll be back some time this evening. fingers crossed Brawn will speed up some what!
bye!
oh and have fun watching testing data Mr C :)
xx
Congratulations, Felipe Baby-Baby!
Morning all. I feel like Mr C waking up at this time
What's the position?
home time! I an hungry. When I grow up I want to be Stevie Nicks. And i think mick fleetwood is santa claus.
This is potentially interesting, no-one else confirms it, but maybe something to keep an eye on..
http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2009/12/01/horner-no-2010-engine-deal-yet/
Well if they dont have a deal in place they could end up loosing their slot!
This is potentially interesting, no-one else confirms it, but maybe something to keep an eye on.. {Comment #55}
Does Christian Horner realise that if he swaps engines now for any reason than force majuere, that his team will forfeit all its points for the year? The team's engine as stated on the entry list cannot be changed without that penalty owing to the way the regulations are laid out. I'd tell you which article, but the FIA site is refusing to show me its text and links (only the navigation structure and pictures).
how many words for ya novel? {Comment #10}
I failed NaNoWriMo gloriously (1000 words... ...discovered I can't write a sci-fi crime novel, especially when I only outline the plot and find myself looking for a new home for my blog at the same time).
NaBloPoMo is the one where I write an entry a day for 30 days (Sidepodcast has of course also won NaBloPoMo without even trying), which may be the first time a wiki has succeeded at it...
Awesome! I'm going to try both in the summer, it won't be "official" but i'll have alot more time on my hands to do it.
MiHeRoLa?
bah?
What I wrote makes as much sense to me as whatever you're talking about....
NaBloPoMo makes lots of sense.
National Blog Posting Month
NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month.
see :)
Errrrm right? So why go crazy and start with KoLoMoPo?
which stands for?
bounced this back to the daily.
NaChoEaMo!
National Chocolate Eating Month! :D
Nothing....
I have issues with acronyms. I find them alienating.
thats December right? :D
But aren't local news websites just rehashes of whatever tat is in the local paper - usually free anyway? {Comment #160}
Depends on the paper. One of my local papers is fairly pricey, another one is pretty cheap and a third is delivered free to everyone living in the area. They frequently have very similar news because a lot of the news is of interest to all three localities.
I don't use the internet for local news though because it makes it difficult to prove I looked at it there if the JobCentre asks.
Yes. But local papers aren't free here?
Really? Well that's a rubbish business model then. Newspapers make more money from advertising. {Comment #164}
Strangely, all three of the above-mentioned papers seem to be doing fine financially (after all having setbacks when the recession initially hit because both readers and advertisers plummeted).
Indeed! :D
ahh, home in time for midnight dinner. That means I can have advent chocolate for dessert!
That's exactly what Acronyms and Jargon are - they are designed to exclude all of those who are not part of the 'society'...
I don't feel that is the sidepodway.
not quite true. sometimes maybe, but they are also designed to shorten things.
I can't be bothered to write National Novel Writing Month and National Blog Posting Month each time, so NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo works alot better if im conversing with Alianora
I wonder if as we get closer to Christmas there should be more snow {Comment #182}
There was snow on high ground yesterday morning...
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
But that means you exclude everyone else. Also it means that you have to keep explaining what it means which isn't all that convenient.
I still don't know what these things are. Do you have to write a post a day?
I sent out a CV and a covering letter to 9 race teams around my area just looking for some unpaid work experience so I could possibly get a foothold into the motorsport industry. Classic Team Lotus are actually asking if I want to consider a full-time position! {Comment #205}
Excellent news, Scott!
my friend Fran tells me there is snow in Lucerne
*sobs*
Yeah. thats exactly it.
Some other people know what it is, and i dont mind telling people what it is. If it was a big conversation then maybe i would put it in full, but it was 1 question to Alia, and if other people like yourself want to ask what it is hten i'll tell
I can see snow out my bedroom window #sorryKathi
move to Switzerland? There is more Finnish drivers there than there is in Finland.
*sits in a corner and rocks while babbling nonsense*
Lunch break. Hello. Much going on?
That's fair enough. Sorry to single you two out like that BTW (By the way ;) ) - just agreeing with Alison in general...
this one?
13.3
A competitor may change the make of engine at any time during the Championship. All points scored with
an engine of different make to that which was first entered in the Championship may count (and will be
aggregated) for the assessment of a commercial benefit, however such points will not count towards (nor
be aggregated for) the FIA Formula One Constructors Championship. A major car manufacturer may not
directly or indirectly supply engines for more than two teams of two cars each without the consent of the
FIA. For the purposes of this Article 13.3, a major car manufacturer is a company whose shares are
quoted on a recognised stock exchange or the subsidiary of such a company.
Hello again. I can't for the life of my understand why I have so many japanese responses in the past few days on my TOATA blog...
okey doke, well it's over now, so you shant have to deal with NaNoWriMo or NaBloPoMo for another year!
do they make any sense? (with translations of course)
See I don't understand this either :(
It's lukehs blog!
MiHeRoLa? {Comment #216}
According to Yahoo!, that would be a small state in Gujurat, India. Have I understood you correctly?
Is it like Toyota but Welsh?
Because toata sounds like a Japanese word? I thought it was a Maori word at first!
:D Snap
What I wrote makes as much sense to me as whatever you're talking about.... {Comment #218}
Sorry. I didn't mean to confuse anyone.
NaBloPoMo makes lots of sense.
National Blog Posting Month
NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month.
see :) {Comment #219}
Could you please explain this to the people on this side of my computer screen? They don't seem to get the concept that NaBloPoMo and National Blog Posting Month are connected, leading to me having to launch into a three-minute explanation every time I use the expanded version by mistake...
In a world with Google in it, I think it's quite difficult to exclude people with jargon.
Awww Jakey Boy
http://twitpic.com/rpg23 - Sightly lost...Legie and Ted exchange directions...kart track where are you??
Looks like Ted (with a beard?!) is drivng through a safari and Legard is a giraffe...
Errrrm right? So why go crazy and start with KoLoMoPo {Comment #220}
Ko Lo Mo Po (Korazy Lounatic Month of Posting?)? Because it's fun (probably)
oooh i love!
NaChoEaMo!
National Chocolate Eating Month! :D {Comment #223}
Yay! (I've got three bars waiting to be consumed in my room...)
That's exactly what Acronyms and Jargon are - they are designed to exclude all of those who are not part of the 'society'... {Comment #230}
To be honest, I started using NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo to stop myself tripping over my own tongue/fingers when describing them - and stuck to it when people off-line found the long version more confusing than the acronym. Don't ask why...
I think you have a point about NaBloPoMo... once you have explained it once the acronym is easier!
I can't be bothered to write National Novel Writing Month and National Blog Posting Month each time, so NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo works alot better if im conversing with Alianora
But that means you exclude everyone else. Also it means that you have to keep explaining what it means which isn't all that convenient.
I still don't know what these things are. Do you have to write a post a day? {Comment #235}
For National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), the idea is to write a complete novel of at least 50000 words in the 30 days of November. There are smaller versions connected with different months, but November is by far the biggest. Hence why me managing 1000 words in the month was a major failure - I was a good 49000 words short!
For National Blog Posting Month, the goal is to write at least one blog entry of some description every day for a month. Sidepodcast's Daily threads mean it manages this every month without fail, but for us less dedicated followers it can be a challenge to come up with enough content to supply entries consistently for a month.
*sits in a corner and rocks while babbling nonsense* {Comment #242}
I'm sure there'll be snow where you are soon...
*hugs Kathi*
That's fair enough. Sorry to single you two out like that BTW (By the way ;) ) - just agreeing with Alison in general... {Comment #244}
Fair enough. We're all friends here - if I step out of line, it's good I can trust you to bring me back into line again.
this one?
13.3

Thank you very much, Kathi - that's the article. If Red Bull competes with anything other than the Renaults entered on the list, then it will lose all its Constructor's points for 2010 (though it will still get the money attached to whichever position it attains).
So that would mean they would have 0 constructors points next year if so?
Hahahaha, ted Kravitz has gone old school
Look at that mighty beard!
Where has AA got to? It is the second for me so I demand a new video. Perhaps he is discussing the Backstreet Boys again? If he needs info, I'm a walking wiki of BSB fact.
itv?
That is sooooo last year.
some say Mr C sometimes has a beard. #affinity
i look better with a beard than ted does.
everytime someone I know grows a beard I call them Monty. They don't normally know why.
Sad day for Car lovers :(
And it was a Gallardo too :(
So that would mean they would have 0 constructors points next year if so? {Comment #269}
Correct.
am confused on this, doesn't:
"any time during the Championship"
mean from the first race of the season? why is it applicable now?
Urm... I have no idea why that went into the 29th?
#sorrymrc
Perhaps there should be a doghouse thread for you!
I am clearly several days behind everyone else ;)
Especially because it's an advent joke!!!
Evening all.
Written two more blog posts today. Still haven't designed the site yet, though.
is it progressing?
I'm being very indecisive about the colour scheme. And then, of course, there's the wordpress integration...
*runs and hides*
ahh, yes. integration should be okay, it's infinitely flexible.
...at the expense of performance.
Just working out where to stick it on the server is nerve-wracking.
Afternoon all.
howdy rg.
trial and error?
Greetings...
Afternoon everyone :)
Cannot fail!
good meeting(s)?
Everyone's turning up just as I'm about to put the football kit on and disappear off to freeze...!
We're all secretly watching from a warm, cosy location.
You get used to it....
I'll get my coat.
Look at this. Look at this! Dreadfully pompous list – and not a car chase to be seen in any of them.

I'm not here, am doing some work, but just wanted to tell lukeh
We're getting an Iceland here ;)
That is all
I'm finding the Fifth Driver's enthusiasm wearing today. Anybody else?
Awesome.
I've seen Knocked Up, and want to see Gran Torino, but the rest of this list should be used for.... something else I won't say because this is a family friendly place :)
urgggh... ;)
need to work from home some more.
Tomorrow :)
There, fixed that for you.
:P
Well the thing is that I can't work from home every day. So I try and pile as many meetings into one day as possible. However it makes those days pretty busy.
My last job I worked from home every day until near the end of my time there when the company finally got an office. Probably a good thing, I found out near the end my boss was quite the racist.
Not that the latter has anything to do with working from home, but whatever.
Tomorrow's daily sent your way christine. :)
Ahh, beautiful doohickey. I have missed you today.
Ooh, thank you :)
Oooh that was odd.
Received. Another excellent guest daily, thank you :)
I think it says something (a good something) that the part I hate about my job the most is writing my self-evaluation at the end of the year.
will the takeover be extended at this rate? :P
also just found this "Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar 2009" over on the Big Picture.
If anyone wants to sign up again, that is fine by me :)
The pictures in the Royal Observatory in London like that are absolutely mindblowing, just really make you grasp the size and enormosity of the universe and the sights out there. Can't wait to see the rest of these.
I'll happily do another post :)
Just saw this . . .
http://willthef1journo.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/the-gravity-of-renaults-situation/
Interesting take from Buxton on the Renault situation and also pointing to the reasons for Tung being included in this week's young driver testing. JV even makes an appearance.
The weird thing is, Will's conclusion is all: "Yay for the potential new young faces... oh, and JV as well."
what a fantastic post! cheers jason.
Just catching up with my feeds :)
#mfc Move Over BSOD, Black Screen of Death is Here - I bet I get this, but at least someone has a fix: http://www.prevx.com/blog/140/Black-Screen-woes-could-affect-millions-on-Windows--Vista-and-XP.html
also how great would this be?http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/the-eko-stoplight-01-12-2009/
TheFifthDriver is getting all excited...apparently if you want to see the new Mclaren Kit you have to visit http://bit.ly/5H4PHJ
Question is....how is that new?
The orange isn't supposed to blind you now
Jenson is going to look awful in that rocket orange/red shirt... :(
hi.
Even though it would mean he had won?
hey.
Evening. I'll send a letter to Ron telling him no. more. orange.
I'm sure he'll listen.
could mean lewis has won?
*cough* we were all thinking it
(I was being supportive!)
even with the huge smile he has on his face when he wins yes.. i can't see it suiting him..
grrrrrrrr
11 steps??
Its Windows so I guess that is only a few steps to fix a problem!
either way... it wont suit him ... not that that's the biggest of his worries..
hehe. i love a team that fails to put its own name on its products.
that literally is the funniest thing ive seen all week
Must be a slow week for you then!
that and the fact that it's tuesday
hahaha :D
McLaren seriously have a jacket called 'Windbreaker'?
Seriously?!
Talking about buying your championships - the Macca 2010 Team Victory T-Shirt is just pushing it a wee bit. Jenson goes from Yellow to Orange - possibly his next destination - Ferrari Red.
Ypu said week, that could imply the last week as in 7 days not week as monday-sunday ;)
for use during one of ron's speeches.
shhh
How do you say Soucek?
Soo-check
Dave
Sooo sec
:D
They might be a bit sensitive on calling it a Windcheater
Soo-sech
:D

For Christine
See, he says it the way I say it!
Umm, no.
You say it hte way he says it :P
Oh don't be so pedantic, Jon!
andy sous chef :)
Thats it. Andy the Soup Chef is his name from now on to me.
Why not?
He added a smiley
[and he was right]
Works for me :)
Thanks Jon.
Grrrr...
*walks off*
well he was wrong in the first place with the pronunciation, which i guess was scott's point.
but everyone's wrong (including andy), clearly.
I thought if I asked about the pronunciation in the first place it would cause less hassle.
#wrongagain
;)
hehe.
i care not for saying things correctly, i say them how they ought to be said :D
Well think of Jaime Algeursauri. Most people gave up initially and went for my suggestion of Tim so...
Andy the Soup Chef.
:P
aha. agreeed
I heart
it's a winner. can he please, please make it into f1 now?
Episode 5 of The Feeder Series is now up;
http://www.feederseries.co.uk/
and avaliable via iTunes
I don't subscribe to this school of thought but each to his own. Sometimes it is easier
I have noted a huge confidence that Sauber will be taking to the grid - Mario return to BMW motorsport. Has FIA done a deal to say to Toyota we will not fine you if you stop trying to peddle your grid slot on eBay?
i do it because it's less poncy.
i can't carry of fettel. never in a million years.
He does have good security, I expect.
hehehe
:D
Attempting to pronounce someone's name correctly isn't exactly poncy, is it?
I believe a lot of that confidence is coming from me... ;)
:)
have you heard me say "fettel"?
Still think the accepted pronounciation of Schumacher should be 'ugggh'
It is a bit poncy.
(bleugh)
Can't say I have :)
:)
When you live in country with 11 official languages it gets complicated.
Who do we petition to get Soup Chef added here: http://namethatdriver.com/select_driver.asp
Well, I imagine it would be
and who should its drivers be?
we should get a comparison in the drop.. Mr C saying 'fettel' and 'vettel'... see which sounds best ;)
ooh, i know this one.
it's the owner of PETA isn't it?
It'll be Klien and might be either Heidfeld or Petrov I reckon.
yes.
http://ingridnewkirk.com/
Random request time: can anybody recommend a half-decent online camera bits-and-bobs outlet? Need to buy an accessory (filter) for a certain someone's picture taking device for Christmas and I'm failing miserably.
Ingrid Newkirk is noted as being part of the site management, yes
Petrov is reputed to be able to bring between 11-13 million
Contact Us address: [email protected]
It'll be Klien and Petrov I reckon.
Which team are you referring to, the potential return of Sauber F1?
Aye.
mmmm... People for Eating Tasty Animals.... YUM!
For Petrov it would be a better seat than Campos. Ferrari might push for Fisi to have a seat to keep him in practice.
Jessops is good but some products can be really expensive (as most things in photography are).. you can get some great deals on ebay if you know the specifications of what you're looking for though
Do people count as animals?
I can't see Fisi getting another shot at a Ferrari drive, if ever needed
We're mammals in the animal kingdom aren't we?
Or Amazon
Jessops don't do SLR filters do they?
I'll be avoiding eBay after encountering dodgy knock-off goods from Hong Kong :-D
Not sure Max and Briatore count as mammals I think their evolution ended before the cyanobacteria.
Which has been the cheapest place I've seen so far.
Don't Sidepodcast have an Amazon accounts thingy set up? I could net them some referral monies!
indeed.
they do some... i think.. when i got some filters i got them from ebay.
that's understandable.
appreciated. i have no idea what the details are and christine is crazy busy, but thanks you for thinking of us.
B&H photo is excellent (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/), but may not be helpful to folks not in the states.
Evening all!
lo chap.
evening.
Heeey.
thanks guys. Man it's quiet tonight!
been quite all day. makes a nice change.
my productivity is going through the roof.
PING: http://sidepodcast.com/2009/12/01/sidepodchat-jim-clark-grew-up-as-a-boy-who-loved-cars/
That can only be a good thing.
I'm just sitting here listening to the Beatles. I should really be doing uni work...
That reminds me, on my iTunes feed, the Bernd Rosemeyer podcast is actually Villenurve, as is the Villenerve one. Thought you guys should know.
it was for about 2 minutes. then we fixed it, you may have been very quick of the mark. should be fine now?
I think I was. Annoyingly, I don't know how to re download something. Ah, well. I'll just listen to it on the site instead.
Red Bull Renault engine not a done deal:
Speaking to AUTOSPORT about the situation, Horner said: "I wouldn't read too much into the entry list. We're obliged to put an engine as per the regulations. But we are allowed to change the engine at any point up until the first race
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80389
He's just upset there's a press release gone to waste now thanks to the FIA ;)
Evening all.
Hi Steven
there was a discussion earlier that they'll lose championship points, but i disagree.
or at least await to be proved wrong :)
Hey Mr Roy
I would've thought that would apply only after the first race or practice session, we shall see
[doubt it'll happen]
I can't imagine that is the case. Brawn did it last year and if they lose all their points Lou is going to be mildly miffed to say the least
Did they enter as honda? or was the pullout before that and they had a late entry?
Evening all...
Just did a pub quiz where for one round they gave us blank tshirts and marker pens and we had to make a rugby top... it was brilliant!
They entered as Honda. I remember us discussing whether or not they would have to enter as a new team or be allowed to use the Honda entry
Did you have to draw a really easy teams one?
You could do what ever we liked.
We did Whales!
With a big whale on either side :D
Joe Saward saying that Virgin deal is siimilar in style to Marlboro's with Ferrari:
The deal, as far as I can understand it, is that Virgin has done what Marlboro did with Ferrari and has acquired the sponsorship rights to the team and will then sell the space on to those who wish to be associated with the team, or who think that it is a good investment
http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/being-slightly-pregnant/
wasn't it bernie that wavered the entry fee for the team so they could compete? they were at the very back of the grid too... if they had entered under honda wouldn't they have had 17/18 on the cars rather than 22/23? weren't they a new entry?
I can't remember the details but the relevant point was after Hond entered the team switched engines to Mercedes and as far as we know they have not been docked all their points yet.
They were treated as a new entry.
That was fine last year, they helped fill the grid. but if it happened this year with RBR there would be all sorts or lawsuits i am sure
I am workking from home tomorrow and i Have 2 meetings.... its not too bad...the company picks up the tab!
Bellof post is done, just sent it.
And I have a title - "The Greatest German Driver Never to be Champion".
Thats very interesting... I wonder if the fact they havent named a team principle yet is significant?
Awesome :D
Renault have made some appointments but no team principal yet
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80383
:D
So, DiResta second, despite minimum laps, and running a Force India. Why doesn't he have an F1 drive yet?
He clearly upset the Gods as a child.
Oh dear. Mark Webber style?
Hopefully Benz will take note
I can't understand why FIF1 confirmed their drivers before this test.
Because the majority of people in charge of giving out F1 drives lnow nothing about driving and wouldn't recognise a good driver at a Luca Badoer convention.
I woudn't read too much into the times as we have no idea of the set ups of the car or fuel loads etc.
I read that he beat Praffett driving a Mclaren. Not a bad start.
Im not sure I would recognise a good driver at a luca badoer convention? ;)
It depends on all sorts of things like when they ran. Paffett started in the morning then handed over to Turvey so he was not on track during happy hour where di Resta was.
Oh ok then. Details, details.
Does anyone know if teams are running any car developments, or are they all using 2009 cars?
ferrari are running sans wheel-fairings. which is what they'll have to do in 2010. they may be running the smaller front wheels.
mind you so might all the teams. hard to say.
Some kind of aero data attachment?
http://www.autosport.com/gallery/photo.php/id/1323716
Unfortunately teams don't give out that kind of info. Some drivers will have effectively brand new chassis which are still stiff where others will have chassis that may have done a dozen races and are getting a bit more flexible. We have no idea what condition anyon's engine is in or whether they have the ideal aero configuaration for Jerez or just the wings that happened to be lying around the factory.
Fair enough, it was very cold but none of the times were all that spectacular
Looks like something to measure deflections or stress on the wing (so, yes, basically to your question :) )
Was what I was thinking too
Very odd. Benetton used to have wings with stressed wires in the 1980s but I have no idea what RBR are doing here
even if they were running smaller front wheels?
Not nitpicking, just seeking clarification
The front wheels next year are just narrower, not smaller in radius, correct?
Aren't they supposed to help? :-)
yep :)
and spherical.
Slightly narrower - same width as the current wet tyres
the '09 cars? no.
spherical??? interesting...
I didn't realise the wets were narrower
They are narrower so that they have the same amount of rubber on the road as the grooved tyres did and teams won't need to move a lot of weight to the front of the car
don't worry, was intended for steven.
Not with cars that are set up for wider tyres and not in slow corners
Ant said in commentary that his tyres were spherical
conclusion: they won't look narrower then
They will if you see them side by side with the current tyres.
Surely, they've remembered to move the ballast back?
Anyway, 2 seconds down on March testing on the back of a year of upgrades isn't explained by front tyres alone
true.
what about, filthy track, not used by f1 since march?
I think they will need to change suspension laygeometry as well as the centre of the wheel will be further from the centre line of the car as the outside edge of the wheel will be in the same place.
Depends what the conditions were like in March
you could say that was true in march too
it's possible, I suppose, that the teams have been running overweight to simulate full fuel loads
Good point
Is there a sidepodcast twitter list with all the sidepodcast folks' twitter accounts?
most of them:
http://twitter.com/sidepodcast/sidepodcast-commenters
I think there is on the wiki as well
ahh, I see it now
I talk a lotta football.
I curse a lot.
:)
Evening sidepodpeoples
That's funny.
I start listening to the Feeder Series, and you show up!
it's fate
Podcast Ping
Hey Jon
i've finally got round to listening to Alex's latest podcast! am loving it so far! :D
Oh, yeah. I forgot to do that. Do you mean the one at www.goforodd.com? ;)
yep i mean www.goforrodd.com
eeek! i clicked post instead of preview.. so the actual link people need to click on if they want to hear the awesome podcast is this :D
no, I think its more www.goforodd.com
i heard some cool cat has a cool interview over at www.feederseries.co.uk
Not www.feederseries.tk , www.feederseries.co.uk
I dunno what it's like, but i've heard good things :P
*is next on my list of podcasts*... i'm a little behind with podcasts.. i have 299 to listen to, and yours went to the top of the list after alex's :)
Let me confirm, thats www.feederseries.co.uk
dare i ask which one? ;)
correct. www.feederseries.co.uk
ollie's back!
http://blogf1.co.uk/2009/12/01/jenson-button-has-won-his-first-last-world-championship/
#sorrylou
best not ;)
hurrah!!
Hello. I'm seeing numbers in front of my eyes Matrix-style.
christine attempted to play me an episode of twit from march, last weekend.
march?!
red dress?
also, my bank says 'ouch'
Evening
My bank says ouch and I got paid yesterday.....
tis fine i lived with people thinking he'd never win a Grand Prix let alone two or even be World Champion... but he is :) mwahaha with 7 GP wins to his name :) and it makes me happy. If he doesn't win another that's okay.. he'll still be remembered, by me and now by many people as being the 10th British.... i'll stop.. :)
It's great to have ollie back though :D
I got paid Friday but then I had to have my car fixed and it cost four times as much as i thought it would
I'm happy to support the 2nd German World Champion......
was msc really the first german wdc?
I trust wikipedia.
I reckon Timo was world champion before Schumacher. We just don't know it yet.
#timeywimeystuff
Mmmmm i <3 Sebastian Vettel
cool :D
Vettel wasn't the first....
Just remember. Whatever happens at mclaren, he has achieved something that Sir Stirling Moss, David Coulthard, Giles Villeneuve and many other deserving drivers have failed to do for various reasons.
i deny schumi's existence, so he very well could be.
#blametoyota
Actually that changes my stance then.
Proud to support the first German world champion (leaves no room for imagination, will still happen in 2012 as I predicted, Vettel can win in 2013-2020 if he wants, just not before)
He said he was gonna support the second one?
Oh you said it! Errm I just take it to mean that you <3 Vettel too. There's no backing out now....
hehe!
No, sorry. Vettel is no one compared to Timo in my life.
And also hold on while I try and work out whats actually going on here.
:P
Ah yes. He's going to beat Fernando in a Ferrari driving for Manor?
wow!!! i usually get a chance to catch up considerably during the holidays when i do textile work.. but i don't think i have any from march i haven't listened to..
*virgin
april?
you say that like being at Mclaren will kill him...oh... point taken
I predicted, go back to Sidepodradio if you must, he will win in 2012. His Manor contract runs out in 2011. I've got it all worked out to a T....
...and its free
(that was 'the who' reference there)
oh. mercedes then?
close... May :)
August here... although that's the download date, some of 'em might actually be from late July.
I've got races from February.
i figured :)
No, I'm not! I'm really hoping he shows Lewis a thing or two, but it's just in case it does go down the toilet for him
:D
I thought Ferrari would see sense. Massa or Alonso's contract runs out in 2011 as well doesn't it?
RG to win the lottery in 2011 and all of a sudden Timo is Awesome GP is created...
massa's. but then he has to beat ferni in equal machinery?
s'alright, am not keen on Mclaren so anything that happens next year will be their fault in my eyes #sorryamyandothermclarenfans
Am hoping he'll return to the Brackley lot one day. :) #icandream
#LouDream
The sequel to Earth Dream. ;)
Haha surely daft travel arrangements is the best opportunity to get caught up with things like that.... Trains = BORING
only it wont try and kill Mr & Mrs C :)
yep.. i even had a whole 12 days in spain to get caught up with them all.. i managed to get it down to around 150.. but the moment i went back to school it mounted back up again lol
Will it also produce an equally awesome livery?
I'm not lecturing.... I have 912!!
you're joking, right?
wow. that's more than christine.
i have 11. none older than november.
WOW!!!!
Mr C how many does Christine have?
I think I can feel smug with 262?
16 podcasts and 22 itunes U for moi
I have 117, not including anything released since the 25th 'cos I haven't downloaded those yet.
it was over a thousand a few weeks back, but now 860(ish)?
wow!! see, now i feel good about having 299 :) even if i have got one or two podcasts i haven't listened to for a loooong time.. lol
No? I'm listening to one right now. Problem is many of them are over an hour long... If only everyone was as considerate as Mr C!
I'm assuming Alison and Christine listen to fairly short podcasts to get that many?
A lot of mine are 90 minutes or more.
you need rules.
> 60mins = trash
disagree, some are really good, they just need to release edited versions
I listen to Danny Baker show which is two parts of 50 minutes, does that count?
I go through phases of liking different things. I'm gonna go through and delete some stuff I'm never going to listen to though so it's manageable.
No-one wants a current affairs programme from August. I should just bin it.
so you agree then :)
depends if it is an interesting discussion.
umm...
I wouldn't say they are trash..
but there are some spc which are over an hour.. and they are equally great!
If I listen to it though, I'm just getting more backlogged. They release faster than I can listen to them evidently or I wouldn't be in this pickle!!
I can't listen to anything longer than 60 minutes, I find 40-50 minutes perfect length foer podcasts. Although I'm never excellent at long listening sometimes... :(
Shine on you Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd managed to keep me interested for 20 odd minutes though :P That is probably the longest song on my iTunes. Although that obviously has no correlation to podcasts.
I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make. I think it is that pink Floyd should rule podcast lengths. Yes, that's definitely it.
sorry, that wasn't what i meant. i'll stop writing in code...
greater than 60 mins means it goes into the trash (recycle bin on windows).
Bah, I mean, I can listen to them but I prefer less than 60 mins too.
fair enough. you gotta draw the line somewhere though.
Anyways, to catch up on podcasts I'm sacrificing sleep, so erm, podcast all? erm, I'll stick with night all. lotsa love.
niiiight
see you.
If I need a break I take a break. You don't have to listen in one hit.
ah ok :-)
I tend to listen to shows in 30-40 minute chunks either because,
a) i get bored listening for longer
b) thats how long it usually takes me to fall asleep
Some I can listen all the way through (ie FT, Spc etc)
see, i do.
night
i get you're point :) i prefer podcasts that range from 30 - 60 mins.. anything between that is a nice length i feel. 70-80 mins i can handle on the odd occasion, but i could never subscribe to podcasts that were consistently over an hour long.. i'd never find time to listen to them.
If Ipause it somewhere, and then come back a few days later, I have to start again. I can;t explain why, it's just how my mind likes it.
#sameperson
i'm looking at you Mr Hindhaugh
er..who?...
oh
my
goodness
*faints*
you know what is a perfect length podcast? 8 minutes and 30 seconds:
http://sidepodcast.com/2009/12/01/sidepodchat-jim-clark-grew-up-as-a-boy-who-loved-cars/
am gonna listen now.
#sorryjon
lovely plug! :) hehe i'll take a listen now :)
If I started again I'd end up annoyed at hearing the same thing again to get to the place I left off. If I leave it a day I jump to 5 mins or so before i stopped, to pick up the thread. I do try and listen on the same day, just with a break if needed.
Some podcasts I always listen to though wheras I have others that I catch up on in a big binge. I'm sorry to say that some SPC episodes have been set aside :( Mainly digests which tbh aren't that long....
If I watched the live show, the edit might not get an airing either due to lack of time. I need to burn another disk to make the most of commuting time.
The latter point is where I struggle to keep up with MWM.
have you been taking lessons from Alex? :P
#nothere
yep.
I think I must be much busier lately though. I don't understand why. Most of my abandoned podcasts are from October and November.... Unless everyone has become more prolific over this period!
not me.
Lads and ladies i have some Campos META news which explains the reason they are so picky about dropping the META bit...
META are their sponsor....
I would never have guessed! ;)
who are they?
META image are a PR company
http://www.metaimage.es/
this company?
http://www.metaimage.es/
meta is written in title case?
oooh theyrre a sports company of some sort.
anywho, thats why
?
Yes.
The only other German who got near a championship was von Trips in 1961 but he got killed in an accident with Jim Clark at Monza so his team mate Phil Hill overtook his points total and took the championship
as in Meta not META. so why the fuss?
it doesn't explain anything? it makes the concept seem more silly.
oh i dont know what they care about it being META not meta, or if they even do. but thats why they want it to be Campos Meta not Campos
im confused. please explain
we know they do. joe got a telling off.
they are also the commercial arm of the partnership, so that Campos doesn't need a commercial dept
i thought he got a telling off for it being Campos not Campos meta
you said:
"i have some Campos META news which explains the reason they are so picky about dropping the META"
but your news serves to cause more confusion not less. as even their own sponsor prefers "Meta".
no.
unless we completely misread the quote?
oh ok. well then i dont know why its meta not META or whatever.
but thats why meta is there
it's possible i misunderstood, but the campos website specifically has it in uppercase. which just looks weird.
Maybe it was a typo and they're being sponsored by MEAT or TEAM.
http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/paddock-gossip-about-drivers-in-singapore/#comment-3670
ah-ha. i do stand corrected.
;)
although that does ruin one of my favourite jokes of the year.
:cry:
whats that?
Did you get the Bellof post OK?
that we call the campos META.
umm... no.
did you email me?
:D
still funny - ish
hmmm.
I dont get it :(
originally it was thought they corrected joe because he said meta not META, so META takes the mic even more
Nope, sent it to Christine's. Want me to try yours?
ooooohhhh.
their website used to title the team:
campos META
so we've been shouting the meta most of the year. if the clarification was just that meta should be appended, not that it should be in uppercase, it's not a lot of fun.
HTML joke?
So it's like AUTOSPORT but taken to extreme bold levels?
yeah. its like me going AUTOSPORT
erm. no that's fine, she'll probably get to it tomorrow, we're having a busy week. cheers sir.
No need to shout jon
:P
A U T O S P O R T
i guess it would be like autosport insisting we call them AUTOSPORT.com always, with a lower-case .com even when it doesn't flow.
