Happy New Year from Sidepodcast
2009 has been and gone and it is to 2010 that we turn our attention. Happy New Year to everyone who reads, listens, participates, lurks and shares with Sidepodcast. I hope you are having a great day, and that it is the start of a wonderful year.
- Mr C has already done the rounds and thanked everyone he can think of in a special end of year wrap up post. There is also a handy list of some of the highlights of the year, a sort of Best of Sidepodcast in articles rather than audio.
- I mentioned our New Year's Resolution post yesterday but it is worth repeating again as there is still time to make those promises that you are bound to keep for the rest of the year. They can be F1 related or otherwise but we will revisit them at the end of 2010 and see how you got on. No pressure!
- As Mr C took the time to thank me in his aforementioned post, I will abuse my position in the daily to thank him right back. I'm not good at the lovely huggy stuff, but needless to say Sidepodcast wouldn't be what it is without him and his clever code, late nights and amusing insights. I can't imagine anyone else I'd want to run this site with, so thanks to Mr C.
That's enough of that, we have welcomed in the New Year, and now it's time to focus on 2010. As ever, I will see you in the comments.
wondering if we will bring the server down this year...
Are you going to try and get it dead on again?
never going to get it as close as on xmas.
I'll give it a try. :D 4 minutes to go!
happy new yeeeeehaaaawwww!
Happy New Year!
HAPPY SIDEPODNEWYEAR! :D
happy new year
WHAT THE?! You did it AGAIN! :O
Happy New Year all :)
Hehe, welcome to 2010 and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Great timing BTW :D
i impressed myself there.
...and scared christine with my cheer.
how did you make that exactly on??
Happy new year
I have to say, Mr C ruined the countdown. It's a bit of an anti-climax when he shouts YESSS at seven.
Stoopid commenting the time.
utter fluke.
Lucky he doesn't work for NASA then.
oops.
I am surprised the David Tennant fan club are not watching channel 4
I am curious why there is a polar bear at the Hootenanny.
seen it :D
same... maybe they are sending the panda to you?
Fingers crossed :)
Gawd, what's he up to now?
They probably couldn't get a panda. I thought I saw a couple of penguins as well. The BBC stole your idea for a zoo with animals beginning with P.
He is on with Alan Carr and that annoying Tate woman. They have been plugging it all week. I wonder if channel 4 went on a Giggles course
Katherine turned to me and said, "Happy Birthday... I mean New Year!"
so Happy Birthday... I mean New Year to you all!!!!!
(hearts)
Perhaps it really like music.
Happy Birthday to Katherine!! :)
:D
awwwwwwwww
just read the daily. (hearts) christine.
Everyon'e birthday should be on the same day
good work on your resolution!
There must be a time delay here. I just heard fireworks starting.
Happy Birthday Katherine! :)
i think we need a new year comment from katherine...
awwwww that's soooo sweet!!!
Why did Lukeh tweet Turtles? Just the word Turtles.
she is very sleepy I think probably best not! We'll get one to you in the morning!
Night all! Have fun!
Doesn't happen very often. Make the most of it, Mr C.
niiight!!
oh... how i wish i knew....
night sir.
Night Alex and Katherine
why not? :D poor lukeh. bet his head hurts in the morning.
Good night Alex and Katherine. :)
Night!
Right, bedtime for me, i am heading off.
Happy new year to you all,a nad i hope your celebrations continue, and are as awesome as mine were :D
Quoting Pratchett perhaps?
somehow... i doubt that...
Good night Nick.
As for me, off to breakfast! See ya in a bit. :)
apparently Unuse is on the jukebox
niiiiight
It is a pretty short quote
See ya Nick and Journeyer
I've never liked this 'Don't Upset The Rythym' song
:)
i enjoy upsetting the rhythm on a daily basis :)
Highlight of the Hootenanny so far: Jonathan Legard bouncing away to Dizzee Rascal's 'Bonkers'
:P
j'agree
:D
jake's red gold and greeeeeen.
Look at that!
:D
:D
:D
he's working for force india now?
hahah!
Hello one and all, happy new year.
and to you ;)
Happy new year Scott :-)
Can someone upload that? PLEASE? :D
happy 2010 scott.
Hi all, I'm at work (booooo) but thought I'd drop by and say happy new year
Here's hoping so. I've got my list of things I want to do and achieve, so it's just a matter of having a go at doing as many of them as possible.
hey keith, happy new year. who in the world is making you work tonight?
will try later :)
If I knew how I would've recorded the show, someone on twitter wanted to the Tom & Kelly duet...
Happy New Year Scott and Keith
work? now? blimey, sorry to hear!
And to you sir.
I have learnt something already.. 2010 and Eddie is still annoying.
how come jake's at the end?
I like that Jools keeps calling it "the F1." Bless.
maybe Jake's wife is with them and therefore sitting at the end.
He blanked Legard despite his leaning forward trying to get in :-)
:)
The BBC have put together a montage of various fireworks displays from around the world (plus some that don't have fireworks). Check out Hong Kong about halfway through:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/8436736.stm
Probably thought he was a gatecrasher :)
I haven't seen the montage but Tokyo did balloons. Clear, colourless balloons
I feel sorry for the man that has to walk about with a clock on his face all night.
the eiffel tower does that every night. how is that worth featuring?
Especially as it's not even showing the correct time.
:D
Several times every night!
I like this Rodrigo y Gabriella.
they are amazing!
Buster Voodoo is awesome.
That's one of their songs, not an actual artist by the way.
oooh... Rubens in Williams gear..
That's awesome
Dizzee sampled Nirvana?????
Amazingly it's not a Lukeh photoshop either.
Brave.
OK everyone, time for bed. Goodnight :)
his band are playing it well
Night!
I think i just saw legard trying to dance.... oh goodness...
night Andy :)
could Jools please stop 'lunging'
Indeed. I posted a video of him and Nico H in Qatar a couple of weeks ago. Since Rubens played nice, it seems that Brawn released him early.
so wrong.
the polar bear is giving me the creeps.
but i want one at the same time. gah.
yeah they did... sad it couldn't be the same for Jenson i suppose..
1 x bottle of wine drained
2.5hrs may be a personal best
go pat go. :D
we have a box. we can't compare :(
Please state the litreage of this box, and the percentage remaining.
Ah, the magic wine box. Good for camping, but that's about it. Anyway, Happy 1st January everyone! :D
it's in the fridge, but i think it's four bottles. and there's not much remaining.
it's great when you drink a lot of wine.
then if it is a competition, which it isn't, you'd be winning.. i htink
Happy NY!
Not a huge fan of Florence, I likes this song though
florence + nina simone = mind blown
and a polar bear.
there's two of us.
yus. :D
:D
my baby don't care for cars or races...not quite true in your case ;)
If they've got Kelly Jones they should have done more Phonics stuff.
haha :)
yeah but 1.5 each beats 1
I am enjoying Kasabian. It is the best of their songs but I am drunk. I don't usually like 'em.
omg!!! my phone has just woken up and been flooded with thousands of texts.. it took my phone an hour but it finally has signal. lol
:)
heh
I got the huge number of texts: 1.
Same :(
I got 3 :-)
i wish i was dressed as big ben.
bong....
I think that's been done already. I saw one on television an hour ago.
emily is trying to get me very drunk.. this will only end well..
I only got one. And it was one of those bulk messages to everyone as well. All the people I care about are right here in the comments :)
have you spotted any reindeer yet?
Aww, I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
BBC2 has best of Glastonbury.. could be good, good be bad
awww
R
oooh.
you're keeping an eye on Lukeh's twitter too then.. sadly not, only on the bbc one advert thing..
aarrrrr
aww :)
Lily Allen is first up. That'll be bad then.
good lyricist.
Was just listening to the words. Am impressed at how she passed the censors. Rubbish performance but clever words.
friendly fires!! i love them! :D
sums up lily :)
I am sure it can't be difficult. All you need is lots of gingerbread
<3 friendly fires
I need to make a list. I always 'discover' bands and never follow them up, Friendly Fires was one from the summer.
they were in the intro the bbc used for the ausi gp... such an amazing song! :)
I think if/when I get iTunes I'm going to be broke quickly because I'll just buy everything
youtube; kiss of life, jump in the pool, relationships :D and you're good.
skeleton boy is also a very good song.
poo you.
Somehow I'd blocked out Lady Gaga from Glasto. Don't agree with it. Grr.
not a fan? she's kinda cool.
i don't like lady gaga either..
I don't see how...
My 13yo sister likes her.
Just dayunce.
That is the most I have ever seen her wear
it's the high heeled wellie boots.
Saw a song of hers from Glastonbury on TOTP, I didn't like it.
In any case I'm of the school of thought that festis should be indie/dance only
:)
happy new year!
Zoe is the worlds biggest GaGa fan. There can be no argument about this
I like Lady Gaga, and I also like Lily Allen's stuff too.
although clearly I'm a hypocrite 'cos I like Little Boots
then i'm a fan of zoe's too. btw, is your zoe not a zoë?
you're all right with me then :-)
Zoe wants to know if you like Little Boots?
little boots is awesome :)
Yup.
This music conversation is way over my head. Another reason why I'm James May then...
yup.
What do you like, Tom?
the specials were just on.
Muse for a start, Led Zeppelin, Queen, things like that. A lot of my iTunes library comes from before I was born!
I remember seeing some of the rest of her set on BBC3 at the time, was very good
join the queue :)
My Zoe does not use the umlaut, which makes my typing life easier
(hearts) zoe.
i did not need to see zane lowe's bum.
heheh, strongwoman lifting Zane Lowe and Mark Radcliffe
Good stuff!
Queen is the bestest ever.
awww. Lots of love right back
My parents could quite well love you for that, I inherited that love from them!
true story :)
Ditto
we know jenson likes one of their songs...
:D
Love Queen. I don't play them enough but they are truly awesome.
Yep. I think he should have gone and sung it tonight on stage in London for a laugh.
best band in the world.
Speech Debell2 on BBC2. Not great tune but good lyrically too.
i'm the only queen neutral person here aren't i?
for all time
Quite possibly. :)
indeed.
i love the picture in the daily btw.. did you take it mr c?
Lou: educate her
i would.. but we are listening to glastenbury and drinking wine.. now may not be the time.. however by the end of 2010 she'll like queen..
sadly not, we've been spending far too much money on: http://www.istockphoto.com/
you should upload some of your pics there, we're buying, maybe others are too.
Tomorrow then.
2010 ends tomorrow??
Two More Years by Bloc Party
It didn't work as an extra track on the album but I do like it
You can't deny someone the awesomeness of Queen.
So maybe when the Glasto thing is over.
oooo!!!
i think i was going to upload some a while ago, they have strict rules about what you can up up, but i'll give it a go :)
they have to approve stuff, but your pics are more than good enough.
that's taking sidepodtime to extremes!!
:D
aw thank you, okay when i get home, and am in reach of my external hard drive i'll try and remember :)
oi bet you don't listen to interpol or the knife. real musical education right there. ;)
i haven't even had time to ask lloyd out D:
last year you wouldn't have thought you'd be a regular commenter here, or be into f1 enough to watch and get excited that Jenson won the championship.. so shh give me time and you'll come round to the awesomeness of queen. :)
I've got a remix of Heartbeats by The Knife, speeds it up a bit.
you're a nice friend. a decade i've known you! a whole decade :D
It is inevitible. Everyone loves Queen. I think it is mandatory.
a whole decade.. scary huh?
:)
I am listening to it now while the BBC shows this Spinal Tap stuff I've never understood
here's to another <3
:)
(hearts) spinal tap.
one day i shall watch that film..
Spinal Tap confuses me.
is it the principle skinner thing?
Principal
try turning it up to 11
balls.
:D
Hmm. Not a fan of the odd number!
thank god lukeh isnt here ;)
It's okay. I'm getting the real life version.
Heartbeats (original - live)
Heartbeats (Rex The Dog remix)
I like both, especially hte lattter
:)
Me too.
i'm overcome with joy. love the knife.
To be fair this is the only song of theirs I know
that joy your experiencing.. it's called alcohol ;)
:-D
:D:D:D
Right, I'm off. Night all.
night Christine! :)
Goodnight!
night :D
if anyone is watching Glaso on iPlayer, those Guitar Hero links underneath, come back and watch those.
Good night. Well done on keeping the resolution
i haven't heard anything from Luke in over an hour.. am wondering where he found/saw the reindeer...
good version of Bulletproof...
heheh. he may be too drunk/tired/both to ask now, and might not remember tmomrrow
With the turtles?
his head is going to hurt in the morning...
if there are reindeer and turtles in wales i may have to visit....
So would yours if if your birthday was on NYE :-)
hehehehe fair enough.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED to hear that there's drinking going on in this establishment!
hehe hello
good evening
i thought i was fine, just went to the loo and found i was actually rather drunk
:D i suspect that may happen when i stand up..
my 5 bu su om won' won' work
Just stay in the light near the distractions.
um, ok
You don't realize it until you stand up, usually.
I was fine until I went into the dark corridor
*hides drinks*
no drinking going here.
I'll understand that in about 3 beers, I think.
allow me to translate... she is getting annoyed at her keybourd. it is slowly dying.. first her 't' wouldn't work.. not i think it's may have spread...
pink wine?
i am opy and pasting te buon my busin us slowing dying i iink my keyboard is dyying
you'll need more than 3 beers
Understandable ;)
battery death?
abgggy,kkkkk
hehehehe
drink!!
you are saying to me that your 't' and 'h' aren't working.. would you like to borrow mine? ;)
Perhaps it's rot13 encoded...
#bbc2
catchy tune from Stornoway
le's ry and ommen wi e jeys a are sillworking
i wish i knew what that meant.
You may have had to have been on newsgroups for a while
my keyboard as soppped working
translated - 'lets try and comment with the keys that are still working'
may i suggest restarting the laptop?
you're in good company.
boooooooooooooooooooo
how is that question mark mr c?
plug in the plug. if you are at her house it shouldn't be that hard t ofind?
broken.

just off to beat christine at trivial pursuit. back in... oh a few minutes ;)
i did suggest that em should copy and paste the letters she needed but i think that might have taken a long time..
night!!
ahahaha :D
emily says you have an awesome marriage :)
have fun! :)
old skool board game or new style electronic thing?
That makes sense
my keyboard broke, arg no proper sounds possible
Hi RG
You play trivial pursuit while she is asleep?
the only way he can beat her at it.
shes gone into the kitchen i'm going to reboot her laptop while she is away...
mornning all. I am soon to go outside for a walk. I am doing well at Christines resolution it seems!
jpancoast... 4 slices? of what, piza?
She will never find out
err pizza
morning amy!
Hi Amy
Morning. Quelle time is it?
Hopefully Blur will be on this Glasto review. Love me a bit of Blur. Saw them a week later at Hyde Park, best gig I've ever been to.
er, its 1.37pm so I was lying when I said "morning"
:D
ah. hangover?
It is 2.37am here. We are still in the 'wow it is 2010' mode
although they are now playing Status Quo, to try us
hehe :)
nein, I can't remember the last time I had anything to drink.
then it must have been a lot
ahaha quite the opposite! I think it was probably when I had one beer when my team leader left work, about a month ago.
of toast. USF1 toaster MUST be able to toast 4 slices at a time!
note: my lack of drinking is why I fear Bassano may actually kill me
"it's got to that stage where i don't know what i'm supposed to be looking at anymore" -lou
the keyboard lives after reboot!!!
I think Bassano and I are going to have to stay in this hut thing. We can't have people being sober.
to put that in context i mean on the internet.. i have nothing left to look at/for....
;)
bassano destroted my internal organs D:
You need to slowly build up a resistance. I am presently commenting after 1 x small bottle beer and 1.5 bottles wine
noooo I cannot handle that!
at our Christmas lunch my parents drank wine and my brother and I drank sparkling grape juice. I'm not sure how they managed to raise two non-boozey children.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs on BBC2, love it, love it
lou handled it. ;D
But from the tales of wine and rose Lou already drinks more than I do :(
that's cause i stuck to what Alex was giving me... and then diet coke/ coca cola... :)
ahh. Note to self: stick to what Alex gives you. Speaking of which, now that its 2010, I can officially say I am coming to see you bunch this year :D
bla bla bla you tooo
i dont drink that much...not really. i like white wine and rose.. but i don't really drink much in one go.. unless its a special occasion like today..and even then i haven't drunk that much..
As long as we don't oversleep for the quali/race we'll be fine. Sunday night, watch out ;-)
Friends ex-wife was an alcoholic (alcoholic parents), but while she was an alcoholic, her sister was a teetotaler.
yay!!! i can't wait for Spa, it's going to be awesome! :) even if for some odd reason i can't come to Spa, i'll pop up to london to say hello :)
:P
when your in london of course, no point going to london to say hello if you're in belgium
:D
hooray!
I am sure there will be a pre-event meetup in either London or Kent. But you'll be coming, don't worry
Baggy Trousers!
i like london and kent. :D
:D
ooooh just saw Nick's picture he posted in yesterdays daily.
I heart when F1 + tennis collide, like when Djokovic was at Monaco.
the next 2 horrible stressful terms at school at going to be worth it.. just for the awesome awesome summer. :)
is this your final year?
of A levels? yes :) hopefully i'll go to uni this year :)
This Bon Iver chap is quite good too
good, then summer should be a nice break
he really is :D i have Em to thank for introducing his music to me.. it's beautiful
must investigate more, have added to the list
Amadou & Miriam, I remember them from when this was live. He's blind,
#glastonbury
They may both be actually.
someone sampling Echo Beach... :-)
I thought it was an odd place to put a tennis pitch..rink..field..track..
rather :D
I enjoyed that Glastonbury show
it wasn't too bad.. had to mute it a few times.. i have a feeling that em and i should be going to bed.. it's almost 3:30!... night all! xx
Me too, generally good but some mutable moments. Goodnight
not me too to bed, i don't want ot go to bed
in honor of the crazy scot's here in sidepodcast, I just poured myself a Belhaven Scottish Stout (http://www.belhaven.co.uk/row/belhaven/scottishstout.php)
must look out for that in the shop...
damnit, she's better than i thought.
anyone still up?
yeah, but it's only 11:18 where I am :)
meeee
hehe.
howdy. happy new year.
and the same to you. or as I now like to say, 'happy my was'
you ran out of internet?
yay!
I beat the internet. The end guy is hard.
:D:D
he's gonna have a headache.
:)
heheh :-)
barely
aha, that mean I must stay up until your NY
oooh!
I love the sheer number of drunken tweets after his earlier sober declaration of "May tweet later on phone, but if I don't have an absolutely awesome new years celebration everyone!!" :D :D
I am listening to UK hiphop, which if anyone knows me, will know is completely out of character for a a guitar guy
just how much wine have you had :D
i may have captured it for posterity:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/lukeh-tweets-png
lots
normally after this much alchy I switch to club/trance
I can say my 21st was not that much fun!
mine neither.
He's gonna kill you.
nah. he didn't say anything bad. it's hilarious.
I do like this when I'm drunk http://bit.ly/7cxsxJ
I like the Pogues and Bob Marley when I've been drinking.
yep, there is certainly nothing bad about calling your girlfriend amazini.
twice.
Touchy-feely-lovey drunks are funny. I should know, I am one!
By the way.
I love you guys!
are we your best mates?
:)
heheh, I found a Sway track mentioning F1 with a backing track sounding like The Chain
video mit swearing on the webpage (but not in the video)
http://www.last.fm/music/Sway/_/Flo+Fashion
Of course, no offense, but the only reason I'm here is because the wife is sick so we couldn't go over to the neighbors.
But at least here it requires effort to type, so there's a nice filter in between my brain and the communication device :)
oh that's annoying, the youtube clip cut out the F1 reference
oh :)
Ah :-)
Well, you'd think, but that doesn't stop most of us...
Oh. I got the wrong link.
http://www.last.fm/music/Sway/_/Up+Your+Speed
yes, but I'm thinking more along the lines of those "bad words" type of talk :)
it can be a struggle ;-0)
and there it goes!
happy new year jpancoast ;)
Happy New Year to the Eastern US & Canada!
Am still surfing Spotify and Youtube. Memories of 2000/2001. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2n6A4ZmXws&feature=channel
But I must away to bed as it is 5.30am. Goodnight.
night pat.
btw, 1 and 2/3 bottles of wine. not bad ;-)
drink plenty of water!
night pat.
right, 4 hours after saying I was going I'm finally going for my walk. :D
Freaky. We just got back from a walk to the beach. Soooo many people.
i am going to coles. Not as exciting but probably as many people.
i'm off to bed peoples. if you haven't done so, don't forget to have a peek through the best of '09 posts:
http://sidepodcast.com/2009/12/31/the-best-of-sidepodcast-2009-and-a-big-thank-you/
xx
goodnight and damn (thank) you! i will be on this computer for hours now! :)
bargain at coles
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/20860
i accidentally bought so much i dont think i can carry it home. :(
Morning :) Alcomohol is NOT my friend!!
i am now on a tram into the city so i can walk one block then get another tram to my house. Silly too large shopping list.
HELLO! (sorry)
I predict many sore heads, and some peoples not waking up until it's dark again
Any Oreo cookies?
no! Oreos are not part of my new healthy routine. They werent part of my routine before either to be honest.
i am home! And i cant feel my arms!
I thought you didn't drink much :P
Time to dance?
I have a tip for you, if you want to melt your dried out wax for your skis, don't use the microwave. It goes kaboom.
also sticky wax is sticky
how can you type?
I was texting :D
the trick is to use your left hand to feel your right arm and vice versa, not right hand for right arm and so on.
phew!
handy safety tip. Did the microwave survive?
Putting a cd in the micorwave is amusing,
Its like a firework display on a plate!
I used to enjoy doing that as a kid with chocolate chip museli bars in foil wrappers. Then one day I realised it was probably a bad thing.
it did. The wax too. It is now on my skis ... and in several other place.
the lesson here is that skiing suuuuuucks.
Morning
ooooooh its lukeh! hows the head?
ugh
To be fair it's my stomach more than my head, whilst I have been sick too many times for my liking in the past 12 hours my stomach is just... hell.
aw well it sounds like you had a good birthday last night anyway! and a happy my was to you :)
Just looked at twitter now, deary deary me...
poor lou :)
:P My new year's resolution is to get fitter. I can't give up on the first day. Although I can't find the usb cable for my mp3-player and doing sports without something to distract you from it, is just cruel. On the other hand it is probably to cold for my mp3 player anyway. It is quite the wuss.
OK I've decided to stay inside and watch some TV and eat candy.
We all found it very sweet. Any idea what the turtle or reindeer were doing?
:)
I... I'm astounded. I thought I tweeted twice on my phone.
Good thinking. That's exercising your brain and also your arm (lifting candy)
Even then I assumed it was a happy new year message, but TURTLES?!
I also quite liked the message "robbie willliams"
Mr C saved a copy on the drop... :)
Now that I can explain, I was singing angels and then I ran off to be sick
did it show 'him' up? whoever 'him' is?
Oh dear poor lukeh
I have no idea.
Good Morning and Happy New Year!
Morning and Happy New Year to you too!
After sitting here for 2 hours with my ski trousers, I've just put on the boots. Expect me to go out in about 5 hours.
Amy-esque!
Here's another BBC pic from the 'looks like he just got hit somewhere where it really hurts' archive :D
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8436434.stm
would someone please tell Europe that a minimum price of 700 euro for a flight from nice to barcelona is ridiculous, its only a 1 hour flight. Those two cities are stupidly hard to travel between :(
700 Euros? Are you kidding me???
no :( as much as I want to go to the south of France I'm thinking I might have to drop it because its just so stupidly awkward/expensive.
I think you are booking it too far in advance. The low cost carriers don't release their flights more than 6 months in advance I thought?
Can you not just hire a car or take a train instead?
Heyyyy everybody.
the low cost carriers don't seem to fly that route at all. Actually I lie, Vueling do so I might have some luck with them but it depends if the days they fly work out. I think every airline should fly everywhere 7 days per week :D
I don't want to drive in Europe and the trains are silly in that area, theres no direct one and they're slow. I am short on time, I want high speed trains!
I think Joe S is the expert in these situations
I am trying to work out which routes I want to train and which routes I want to fly :D This is the organisational bit I don't like :(
I am in awe of your mad skillz and bravery. I'm terrified of trying to come to Melbourne in March!
Hello all, Happy New Year.
Thank you Lukeh for the entertainment last night, hope you feel better soon, lots of sleep & chocolate milk usually makes me feel better.
Amy, would it be cheaper to fly to a major airport (London/Paris/Rome) from Nice then fly to Barcelona?
psssh Melbourne is easy! I am conveniently ignoring the fact i made a friend come with me the first time. But it was the first time I'd left New Zealand!
possibly, I will put more effort into working all of this out in a few months time :D
Probably best to wait, 700 euros is a silly amount to pay
ah yes, I won't bother looking at Iberia Airlines again, I can guarantee you that :D
Ah that explains it - they are in the same group as SAS. Basic overpriced service!
It's just started snowing!
Moving south I guess. Been snowing since 2am here, quite deep.
Will wait for mine for another couple of hours then :)
it'll probably take 6 months to reach Oz then :P
Saying that, its just stopped.
There is no snow here, only sunshine. Seems to have missed out Yorkshire. Booooo
Happy New Year to you all BTW!
Morning all.
Morning!
I'm back. It was lovely.
At least you won't have to wax your microwave again for a while
What kind of skiing did you do?
cross-country
claasic style today and maybe freestyle tomorrow
I need to wax my other pair of skis.
Never tried that but it looks like hard work. Let gravity do the work
That sounds tiring!
Pssst... its easier going down hills ;)
can't afford that.
Ah i hadnt thought of that, the idea of skiing for free is quite alien to me!
I only caught the last half hour of the New Year's day concert from Vienna. BOO. Brilliant as usual although it had the weirdest conductor ever. Hope it turns up on the iplayer because I want to try and figure out how the orchestra knew what he wanted them to do as he didn't seem to move his hands for a lot of the time.
Me too. I alwalys think the first cost of ski-ing is a flight and a hotel.
Dont they have the music written down in front of them?
I thought the conductor just sought of danced along for the crowds entertainment, just telling everyone when to start and stop?
Doctor Who on New Year's day? Does hat Tennant bloke on the TV?
own not on
its a 10 min drive down the road for me, then about 40 quidish for 2 hours & ski rental
Oh, happy new year, guys!!!!!!!!!!
Christine linked to an article the other day - apparently an MP complained in the house about it?
http://primetime.unrealitytv.co.uk/are-bbc-overusing-david-tennant/
He is supposed to keep time and tell them when to make changes. The conductor was 85 years old and had no notes at all. The first part I saw he was just standing there shaking like he had Parkinsons
I liked the idea of somone being a tennant of a hat :P
Happy New Year Becken
Afternoon.
Happy new year to you all
ooh McLaren Beard, i hadnt noticed!
hey everyone :)
Hey Lou.
Hey lou, Steven and Becken
how is everyone this morning?
Hi. Are you still amazini?
eheheh you;d have to ask Lukeh ;) i'm actually fine today.. all except the slight headache :)
Indeed...that's what I mean.
Wonder if he's had blast in the simulator yet?
I wonder what caused that.
Big night?
Apparently i ran across 3 lanes of traffic to grab a taxi last night... oops
(it worked)
not really, just a night in with Emily at her house while her family were out. It's not even a bad headache so that's good :)
not a clue.. it may have something to do with the amount of white wine i drank.. but hey.. it's new year ;)
right hunger has overcome hangover i am heading out on a food hunt...
Happy New Year, cya later!
Jenson new year message:
http://www.mclaren.com/interactive/video/movie.php?show=75
He only gets 13 seconds?
ha-ha, so that's what the sun looks like...
Morning.
Ow my head
wow.
he's quite squashed.
gosh, why up so early?
Howdy!
Sadly I have been awake since 9am! :S
I think I might still be drunk a little.
wow, you're up early mr c...
btw would anyone like any of our snow? we've got loads of it again.. and it's annoying
Unfair. I have to go out and knock lumps of ice off my car and you have sun
If only you had someone around who could use a camera ;)
I have to clear the drive of snow. Woo. Hates Mr C :D
Hey sir.
Meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
i'm really not feeling the need to go outside and get all cold today.. it's kinda melting which is good..
noooo!!! they can't have video messages from him.. they belong on his site!...
We have loads of sun here, and no clouds. I'll send some your way...
*puffs out window*
PING: http://sidepodcast.com/2010/01/01/jensons-first-task-at-mclaren/
reading back through the comments...
eheheh :D at least i know he's like Mr C when drunk.. hehe :) loveable drunks are brilliant :)
i did try and tell you you'd been tweeting but you wouldn't believe me :)
don't be mean about Jenson's tattoo.. it's not that bad. His tattoo on his ankle is cute too.
I didn't get a chance to mention it but I did take the picture of the show falling in the back garden of my father in law to be's house. Notice the tardis and also eeeek! a dalek!
back at ya becken ;)
and you janna.
and to you adie (am sure to miss someone)
happy new year everybody (phew)
:)
mr c.. are you awake before christine?
about the same time. but i kept her awake until 4am playing trivial pursuit on the itouch.
am just awaiting the arrival of bacon rolls, whilst moving comments into the jenson thread.
#wemakesagoodteam
wow! :)
eeeww at the idea of bacon.. yay at the idea of there being a Jenson thread even if it is cause of mclaren ;) :D ehehe
:) funny
You're Anti-bacon???
am not a big meat eater.. the only meat i eat is chicken.
The concept of Danish food seems to be 'it tastes better when you put bacon in it' :D
These Danish folk sound very intelligent.
Blog news. After Lukeh switched to wordpress I found it made logical sense to do the same. Have thought about it for a while so on the first birthday of the blog, the new look site can be found here
http://northernwaffler.wordpress.com/
ace. shall update feeds.
Cooool.
Whilst you mention it (and if you don't mind) I don't think I updated anyone with my new RSS feed url when V2 of F1TP launched..
http://f1tailpipe.com/feed/rss/
It's there if anyone cares!!!
ahhh.
yay :)
ah, didn't know i had to. shall do now, cheers.
Time for me to head off into the outside. If I survive the ice I will be back later.
later chap.
see you, be careful with the ice :)
See ya, stay safe.
Yay!
Right all...off for a bit.
Have fun.
See ya mate.
Ah that's better. Showers and fresh clothes work wonders.
bacon rolls. i was going to have toast but that sounds good, now i'm torn. will go for a walk in the fresh air and come back with a decision...
boo
so its official, 100% bacon diet in Spa? ;)
nope.
waffles.
Three hours until Doctor Who.
good plan
I don;t think it's the drink making me feel ill, it's the fact time will be ending. My clock stopped earlier and everything!!
Ooh, spooky!
And chips with Mayonnaise!
Did it grow a body and start dancing with Jools Holland?
oh no!...
:D yay!
:) i'm sure the ending will be amazini ;)
Never ever gonna live that down am I? :P
Hehehe.
That's very close to my mother's maiden name, you know...
nope! :)
awww :)
anyone fancy a shock:
http://sidepodcast.com/2010/01/01/most-prolific-contributors-for-2009/
Nacho's for dinner - talk about starting the year as you want to go on!
Did Benson Burner reply to Gavin after?
He did indeed.
Oooooooh. I await your employment to the BBCF1 team with much anticipation
I doubt that somehow.
why an email, could he not tweet you back?
Happy New Year everyone!
* ! * ! * ! * - fireworks!
Oh wait, I mean Happy Birthday!
happy... something kat ;)
Hey Kat, Happy January 1st :)
He wanted to go into more detail over my criticisms of the gossip column and the time taken to publishing stories on the BBC F1 website. But in his signature it says "This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated", which is why I might be sounding cagey about it.
Thank you :)
Yay! Happy New Year/Birthday!
Happy Kat-er-day!
fair enough. does it change your views in any way?
Mind = blown
:)
Happy New Birthday Christmas Day Year!
Happy new year!
Afternoon all.
Happy new year!
Kat had to write her comment twice after the first one got eaten somehow. She included a single left angle bracket because she wanted to point at the fireworks eg "left angle bracket- fireworks"
At least that's the only thing she could think she had got wrong.
Afternoon, happy new near
< test
* ! * ! * ! * < beats me?
it's the combination of <- that's the problem
<- huh?
Kat submitted her comment in Safari on the mac but for me in Firefox for the mac if I write [Left angle bracket] [no space] [hypen] anything afterwards gets swallowed.
If you write it as the first character then it says, "Invalid comment" presumably because of no content.
so here is me writing
I wrote more after this but it has gone because of those characters... Odd...
Clearly not terribly important but there you go.
ooh, okay, will look into it.
she's left 19 comments and already is adding stuff to my list. i cannot imagine who she takes after.
he he :)
I would say that it has to be honest. He is aware of the GMM issue for sure (I was not the first to raise that concern) and there seem to be a lot of things we are not aware of as punters that restrict or constrain what the BBC can offer on the web. He implied that we, as dedicated F1 fans, are expecting something that the BBC cannot and will not deliver from their F1 website.
Looking back at the comments, I would suggest that we may have been rash at the time to dismiss a lot of stories that turned out to be correct.
he is wrong. we want less. we want no gossip columns.
aside from eddie being right about the schumi thing. can you give examples?
He feels justified in the content, speed of delivery and the gossip column.
Factual information and good insight isn't asking a lot really.
He gave quite a few examples... wait, I'm drip feeding you the whole email, aren't I???
and that's why i don't like him, and have become disillusioned with the bbc's output.
no. i just want to know what we complained about the bbc getting wrong, that turned out to be correct?
I did respond to his email the best that I could. Took me a while to write. Needless to say it was very good of him to respond to my tweet at least. There are quite a few people out there who tweet-cast and it annoys me.
tweet-cast?
one-way tweeting like a broadcast
OK cool... he would probably not mind that bit being repeated anyway because it shows why he thinks the website is ace.
- Schumacher both times
- Renault team boss story
- Renault's future being saved
- Kubica's doubts about staying at Renault
- The Button move to McLaren (apparently before everyone else)
oh. got ya.
Stan Collymore is particularly bad at this for example. They tweet stuff (links or asking for contributions) and never reply. I can't stand it personally.
i don't recall calling them on any of those things? i shall check the archives.
I suppose they have to be careful not to be seen as competing with dedicated F1/racing sites, being publically-funded, although I don't know how a gossip column sits with that...
But the problem with these lists is that they always ignore all of the times that they were wrong. I don't particularly think the beeb should be dealing with rumours and speculation. They can break stories if they like. Or if they feel they can't break stories then they can report news.
No maybe we didn't - but I have had a go when I saw one of the Renault stories and certainly the schumi stories.
good point.
i am gutted that eddie was correct. probably the most annoying thing about 2009 in fact. but do's he was right.
*fair do's.
In my subsequent reply I noted that with Eddie saying a lot of incorrect things and the website running a gossip column it didn't help the credibility of the stories.
Gosh Doctor Who is messing with the natural state of things here at Katherine's parents house and we are having to have dinner early! It's played merry havoc apparently.
Kat and I never eat at the same time day to day but apparently here it's pretty much set. But Katherine's mother has made Katherine's father make an allowance so it's all over in time for Doctor Who!
The thing is, and I said this in my subsequent reply, is that he should use his blog column to outline some of these points that he emailed to me because I am not the only one with the concerns. What bothers me slightly is that there are a lot of unknowns about how the website is run and I think it would be best if some of these were laid out in the open...
I agree with that. The BBC shouldn't have to justify the times they were right, because it shouldn't even be a question. They should have the facts or a very good reason for posting without them.
i'd very much agree with that.
That's true. I really didn't like the way he simply brushed aside the classic races thing a few months back and then gave a silly reply on his blog about it. Just be honest and explain properly if people are asking.
You don't eat dinner together?
I dont actualy mind their gossip column anymore.
In a way its a good idea as it seperates the news from the speculation. But that divide needs to be made clear which it isnt at the moment.
Effectivly they need to say. We arent reporting this as news because we have no knowledge or evidence of it happening. But this media source (or sources) think x,y & z.
People will soon see which sources are reliable that way. And at the same time it covers the BBC from missing a story which later proves to be true.
They just need to be clear on the difference between speculation and news
If they link to the stories they will drive traffic to the original sources
Right, Nacho time. See you in a bit.
people are by and large... quite stupid.
True, but if you put big enough labels on things, the majority should know whats what :)
if people were smart enough to avoid nonsense. f1live would never have become the biggest independent f1 site on the web.
Can't help but think of the episode of the Simpsons where Mario Theissen loans them his summer house and there's a sticky note on absolutely everything.
Maybe that's what BBC F1 needs. More sticky notes.
That had the same problem a few times.
Some people like non sense though, look at all the football speculation in the red tops, most people realise that a lot of the speculation rubbish, but its fun to look at the possibilities.
I used to read the BBC's football gossip column, and it was quite entertaining. I
yeah, many people have used that argument in the past. not interested.
if you go down that route you may as well just make everything up. peter sauber has a twitter account and he's announced mr.c is going to be his second driver.
we could discuss BS all day every day, but what would be the point?
i'm disappointed you didn't tell us sooner mr c ;)
i'm disappointed peter didn't.
:)
True, but we would know what to discuss.
Other people might not mind discussing the possibilities of certain rumours despite the fact they were highly unlikely to be true.
I dont think i could be bothered with it nececarily, but I dont think the BBC should avoid telling people what the speculation is.
If anything it could put GMM out of business as the Beeb could link to the original story (or Publication). And in one short post they would effectivly have covered all of GMM's daily output.
Sorry, Mr C, I'm going to have to do a Corinna and put my foot down here.
am i on the couch too?
Does that mean you will be driving faster than he will?
You've turned the Sidepodcast family upside down, damnit!
most of gmm's content comes from foreign papers. linking to the originals would achieve absolutely nothing.
:D
ooo i've just realised.. only 20 days before the 50 day count down can begin! *runs away from mrs c*
So they should link to GMM then?
I dont see any harm in linking to a story and Putting (in Spanish) next to it.
The key is to say its speculation. If they say that, then its far better than them reading it as 'News' on some GMM site surely?
As I see it, the 'crazy stories' serve a purpose for a lot of peoplein f1 and the media, I dont think they are going to go away, i guess the best we can hope for is for a think line to be laid down between them and the real news, so people can tell the difference
hehe, thats suprisingly soon!
Humph.
NO!
i shall not mention it for another 10 days :P
the key is to check facts.
hehe, I agree.
Whilst the gossip column isnt for everyone, if it was done daily it really could slow GMM down, in the UK at least.
But how is it any better?
Its marked as Gossip. It isnt pretending to be something its not.
And it tells you where it came from, with a link to the original source.
I'd rather the Beeb spent their time working on great things that were confirmed, rather than providing rrrrubbish for me to waste my time wading through.
Nick, you are Andrew Benson in disguise, my friend!
Taking photos of Fireworks is bloody hard!
seconded.
as gavin originally put it "i lost faith in the bbc f1 website long ago".
And I still stand by that quote BTW.
.
The problem is it isnt going to go away. People love to hear the latest news, and there will always be people willing to serve something up to meet the demand. the infomation age has made this all the worse.As I see it the best we can hope for is someone like the BBC to say, this is news, this is speculation. and if they could add a disclamer saying we have tried to confim these stories and have been unable to do so, then mores the better.
I agree at the moment though the gossip column doesnt do a good enough job of saying it is speculation though.
I hope not!
Although if it got me a media pass...
Why should they get involved with it at all? With the resources and contacts the BBC has they could be producing great stuff instead of messing about with gossip. I don't want the BBC to clean up after GMM, I want them to start producing impressive stuff.
Oh dear: http://twitter.com/TotalMercedesGP/statuses/7274649045
How very Germanic:(
aww yeah they are... :)
Forget it. Benson said that they are not catering for the 'hardcore fan' and that they are not allowed to compete with specialised websites.
Noooo Real Brawn GP is gone and with it are awesome colours, instead replaced with icky silver rubbish :(
"These pages will mostly act as an outlet for F1 rumour, speculation, hearsay and news."
lord help us :)
but they still do.
Who said anything about hardcore? It needs to be a companion to what they do pre-race.
Seriously - I took 95 photos last night. 20 are passable and 5 are good. I have a fireworks mode on my camera (which worked OK) and a night mode (which works well but is lower res)... But to get the right camera position and timing is bloody impossible!
Argh. I give up :)
that hasn't changed from when they were realbrawngp... right?
doubt it. never read it.
indeed. The BBC news section of their website would have said. Bild are reaporting that, blah blah blah, but It is unconfirmed at this time."
He did. Clearly they want to cater for the stupid, which is why I avoided the Danish coverage in the first place...
Okay, but even if that is his take on it, why does catering for the stupid mean feeding them nonsense?
I would like to see someone to do it, it doest have to be the BBC, but they seem to be headed down that path.
I think this might be a good thing. we dont need more f1 journos being put out of business because they cant compete with the BBC's resources.
They could do other thinks though, more interactivity would be good. And maybe 1 or 2 F1 forums during the off season to discuss all the latest news with some of the people involved?
Because they don't have the resources to do the 'second tier' stories and other websites will do them anyway.
What if the BBC don't have enough resources?
I don't really understand his argument at all. Never mind. Suffice it to say BBC F1 website is not going back on my feed reader any time soon :)
I want to know what petronas think about the team they sponsor having their twitter outlet named after their rival Total!
Thats not the officialbrawngp twitter
but oddly itv-f1 remains on mine.
that i never expected.
Ask them!
Then they are spending far too much of my licence fee on cash in the attic and progammes about hospitals!
Also, James Corden
Ah thats different?
Fair enough, still an odd name to chose considering...
ditto. I was always oddly surprised by the itv-f1 site. Looked horrorid navigation was stupid. But the content was actually pretty good. And now i've seen the BBC navigation system all is forgiven!
yeah, i really want to get some good photographs of fireworks and sparklers but am yet to capture any nice shots.
Will BBCF1 actually have a videos section in 2010? I bloody hope so, mining through webpages and blogs for one thing is just silly for the amount of video they have!
it's not actually mercedes... just like realbrawngp wasn't brawn gp. it's a fan site.
My ideal BBC f1 site as a start point would be three column layout with the left hand being a series of news articles from BBC sport. The middle column being a list of the blogs available - with a seperate blog for each person on the team (ted should not be hidden in mole and why is lee's on a different site) and no mole. And the third column should be a reverse chronological list of all video content.
Thanks. :)
i know a man with benson's email addy ;)
hehe, you need more fireworks!
I just want to say to them walk before you can run and make it simple.
Twenty minutes to Who!
Who? :P
Who's on first?
The Doctor!
*gets too excited/scared*
*has to be calmed down*
no who's on second. Eastender's is on first.
I'll sing the theme tune for you Alex
Weeeeooowwowooowwooowooooowowweeeeooowoww, wow wow!
Paranoia, is in bloom
The PR transmissions will resu-ah wait.
Does it have the new logo/ intro yet?
eeeek!
Nope, not yet
not yet.
For anyone who is not bothered about the end of the Doctor (are you crazy??), here is a best of Sidepodradio podcast for you to enjoy.
PING: http://sidepodcast.com/2010/01/01/sidepodradio-best-of-2009/
The good thing about Doctor Doctor is we only have to wait a few months for a proper series instead of ages for 1 episode
*Doctor Who
Really looking forward to it!
I have tissues beside me incase of sad times :(
Just tweet him. He does read them and respond you know ;)
Imagine's Christine explaining Doctor Who to Mr C.
Christine- So there's this doctor who...
Mr- Doctor who?
Christine- yes that's right and he...
Mr- who?
Christine- yes that's right Doctor Who.
Mr- No who's he?
Christine- he's who?
Mr- who's he?
Christine- oh never mind.
he really doesn't to me :)
I'm just hoping R T Davies can end it well. I've always thought he was a little rubbish at resolving cliffhangers!
I can't think of it happening any other way :D
Yeah... fingers crossed this one ends well... *looks at RTD suspiciously*
Right, I'm off to watch doctor who (sorry, terrible at multi tasking). See you guys soon!
Enjoy! Dont cry too much (i fear I might:( )
*is not sad, really*
I'm off for the show. See you after!
And so, the End of Time begins...
I'd like to say my last ever meal was a plate of Nachos...
*groans at sudden change concerning Donna's memory and the implications*
Just remember whatever they do, the implications probably wont be as huge as what JJ did to startrek :P
Hey, I liked that film!
I thought it was awesome, But i dont think you could have a more drastic shift in a cannon than that!
To be fair, he did leave enterprise intact :P
Well they used a wormhole/butterfly effect/back in time changes history scenario. I guess that's a bit drastic ;)
*might be going a bid wildly off topic here*
Im suprised more people werent annoyed that he destroyed *that planet*
you should wait for the next movie were they'll fix everything ;-)
happy new year to all!
Hehe, thats likely!
Happy new year to you too!
Cyril Despres and Marc Coma have just left the departing ramp in Buenos Aires. All the bikes of the Dakar 2010 are on the road now
Blimey, I thought it started tomorrow :-)
aaaaaaaaand breath :)
technically, yes. today it's just a connection leg
Goodness.
I'm liking this look of Matt Smith.
That was quite an episode! What DIDN'T it have?!
but it seems nobody told Robby Gordon, he just literally jumped from the ramp with the car... :-)
Daleks.
It didn't have a Dalek and thank the lord for that!
Woah! You're right.
Mmm, me not so much.
Evening peeps
Need to see more of him. The thing where he thought he was a girl was funny though :)
Also, geronimo? Really?
ah I see
And I'm back. Wow...
Evening.
I've just made bacon sandwiches
I'm sad they forgot about Sally Sparrow.
I do make rash calls. I did once say David Bentley looked good after a preseason game, so. I may be wrong.
*sniff*... awww that was a brilliant send off.... so sad... *sniff* but so well written.
I'm also waaaaaay too emotional for my own good sometimes..
i agree... kinda felt he let the episode down slightly..
Lukeh, have you played H.A.W.X. yet? It's a great App conversion
I have moist cheeks from the moments between Wilf and the Doctor, as well as the final last words. As silly as it seems, they were just... heart breaking. :(
Great hangover food
He never met Sally Sparrow. Besides if he'd visited anyone else, the main story would have been wrapped up about 10 minutes into the programme.
I've heard good things about it on the iPod Touch/iPhone, can't say I've tried it out yet though
Like my resolution said. I hate him right now. I may grow to like him later.
also what happened to the Master? did he die or what?
He did, she gave him a folder.
He did meet her, at the end of Blink. I just thought, for it being the most popular modern episode and the chemistry between the two when they did meet, he'd just say hello again maybe.
Why hate?
There's a small free version, that's what convinced me
Best flight/battle sim around apparently
I've been using the IGN site for reviews, seems quite good
Here's the Matt smith trailer again
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/newyear/
She may not have been unable to make the filming. She's a Hollywood actress now!
Ok strongly dislike. he's replaced Tennant and whilst Ecclestone was their first I loved Tennant's doctor.
Hello all, watched the End of Time Part 2. Best Line:
"Worst. Rescue. Ever"
Loved it, looking forward to the new series because it's Moffat rather than RTD but I'll miss David Tennant loads
Ah yes, you're right. She has to meet him for obvious reasons. I just remembered it as her seeing him
:)
Hi Janna
You're in the right place, it's all about the Doc here
I thought when had Comic Book Guy become the doctor for a moment.
Mr & Mrs C had them earlier and the suggestion was too good to ignore :-)
Well that was interesting. Looking forward to Spring now.
What else could there possibly be to talk about? Am now watching Confidential, Timothy Dalton was magnificent
I just realised, they kept the new TARDIS interior a secret still. no fair!
explain to me, as a person who knows bugger all, how that woman reached wilf?
According to Wikipedia, the Blink Angels are returning in the new series. :)
Did anyone else realise there were 6 American Pie films?
We just realised we flicked over to one because there was a visual gag involving alcohol, a body part and an indavertent rude physical act!
Yep they were in the trailer at the end :)
I'm sure I saw that in the trailer too
i didn't see the trailer... i already have no interest in the next series..
Hmm I think thats current/former TARDIS, looks like underneath of the console.
The trailer just makes it worse. I think I will wipe the last few minutes from my mind, and pretend DT sailed off in the tardis happy ever after.
with billie?
I couldn't explain it, I'm one of those people who watch it as good entertainment, not as something that should ever make sense. I love listening to people debating how things fit together, Wilf needed to hear what she had to say so he did. ;)
i think this is the best idea i have heard all day. :)
Erm, if you like.
i don't get who the woman was.. cause the doctor recognised her... was it his mother or something?
http://is.gd/5J0Do
#sorryeveryonewhowasheartbrokenbydavidtennant
timey wimey ;)
that should come with a warning! emotional people don't click the link...
Ah, that's just because he realised he'd need to stop and pick up some Doritos or something before heading off into the sunset.
rose! Rose!
ah yeah.
Why is christine not writing Doctor Who? Much better!!
but then we wouldn't be able to have any more episodes :(
Oooh, Matt Smith nearly made it as a footballer. Liking him already.
*Closes wikipedia before its too late.
Bad Wilf, a spin off of Wilf as he accidentally wanders into the Tardis and travels the universe whilst the Doctor drifts away into the sunset
I just realised something at the end with the cameos, Martha and Micky were married. I could have sworn Martha was marrying someone else.
It's 8-bit Music and Video Games in Lego. Could it be any more awesome?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qsWFFuYZYI
Yes, Tom Milligan, they said in Children of Earth (Torchwood) that she'd gone to get married
I was too busy loving the return of Mickey. I loved Mickey! But not Ricky. His alternate universe selfbeing was rrrrrrrubbish.
I don't watch it, is too silly
*slinks back into the lurker zone**
I'm watching James May's Toy Stories, the lego one..
Trust RTD to forget something ;)
i must away, new stuff to do...
This is the SPC equivalent of "to the batcave"
there are crimes to f1 blogging that must be vanquished.
later all.
So what does that make chrisine?
Andy says 'Robin'... personally I'm not so sure that that is so....
Catwoman?
Oh thanks. Are you trying to get me put on the naughty step?
I think I may just have landed myself in hot water
I was thinking of the Simpsons with "to the observitory".
Now thinking of the scientist guy as mr c. What's his name Lukeh?
I know I'm not Lukeh, but Prof. Frink?
Professor Frink, professor frink, he makes you laugh he makes you think!
I got the huge number of texts: 1. {Comment #139}
I had 2 texts. The last time I got two texts on the same day was when I entered an ITV competition to try to get to the British Grand Prix...
cheers
mr c, mr c, he makes you laugh, he makes you comment... A lot!
The rhyming needs a bit of work but you got the gist correct ;)
how about:
mr c, mr c, some say he's invisible, some say he's a knee.
Mr C, mr c, he makes new things, for you and for me?
ah that makes more sense than my knee one!
My new year's resolution is to get fitter. I can't give up on the first day. Although I can't find the usb cable for my mp3-player and doing sports without something to distract you from it, is just cruel. On the other hand it is probably to cold for my mp3 player anyway. It is quite the wuss.
OK I've decided to stay inside and watch some TV and eat candy {Comment #455}
How about doing some vigorous stretching in front of your computer? 20 minutes of that 3 times a day on cold days should really help...
Now that I can explain, I was singing angels and then I ran off to be sick {Comment #463}
Get well soon, Lukeh :(
You must realise that could sound just a little bit wrong!
I think I shall relocate to a comfy zone to watch that Big Fat Quiz show
Till later
Is that QI? Or is there really a show over there called "big fat quiz show"?
It's actually called 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2009'
More laughs than competive guessing really, like most decent modern quiz shows around
Though QI is fabulous too
Evening all. I survived the weather but missed the Italian Job and it was the proper version.
Annual review quiz, fun but in the past I've found it overly long.. Lots to get through I suppose
Hi Steven
Hey sir.
Evening. Did you see the stats post?
Hows your head?
Just scanned it.
fine :) it was gone in a few hours, nothing too bad :)
Yay for Jenson and a Brawn being on that intro for Big Fat Quiz :)
eheheh well.. they did make the news :P
Odd.. for some reason I can write a small 'a' but not a capital.
Crumb under the key?
There's a capital A key?
Evening all
:-S
A restart by Lou helped Emily the other day. Maybe it's catching?
I just realised, they kept the new TARDIS interior a secret still. no fair! {Comment #801}
Well, there had to be a reason for the mooted new interior...
looks like McLaren haven't stopped Jenson tweeting..
'The_Real_JB Happy New Year from Hawaii... Hope everyone has a good new year's resolution!!'
The tardis is supposed to change with each doctor - new rooms, control changes (new buttons/levers!) etc etc.
i notice he's been quick to change his bio from brawn driver to 'Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 driver'
How did he get from Woking to Hawaii that quickly?
You must realise that could sound just a little bit wrong! {Comment #851}
Huh?!?
There is a reason why he's world champion.
It didn't change between Ecclescakes and Tennant. I think RTD just wanted to get rid of it and have something new for Moffat and have his own Dr Who rather than RTDs
How did he get from Woking to Hawaii that quickly? {Comment #875}
A very very fast air-going vessel, I guess...
well.. i'm assuming there was some pre recording.. Jess was in Hawaii the other day.... i think (from her tweets).. so i assume Jenson had a sneaky visit to the Mclaren factory without Mr Brawn knowing last year...
*Shocked*
:P

True, but this was uber-dramatist Russell T Davies' last episode. He was never going to leave it as "Ooh, I'm a new Doctor - where's my paintbrush?"...
No it didn't - and it was wrong not to!! Moffat is possibly more buried in the canon than RTD has ever managed though...
Well either they got Lukeh to do a bit of Photoshopping or he wore the shirt for the photo when he visited McLaren and they simply hid it from us until the contract thingy was out of the way.
Knowing how well I know Lou, photoshopping such a picture would result in much trauma. ;)
Lukeh,
Tell us about Turtles
true story
Grr. :)
I like what Gavin linked me to this morning - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y - as I woke up looking exactly the same.
Well - at least you were drunk tweeting more than drunk dialling...
(I can't be the only person who has had to remove someones phone to stop them drunk dialling?)

Just had a great iRace... a ding-dong battle for the whole thing, managed to get ahead two corners before the end, the other guy git the better run out of the corner but ended up nudging me so I beat him by a tenth of a second!
Taking a second from watching the Rose Bowl (Go Duck!)
I forgot to wish everyone at Sidepodcast a happy new year. So... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
