The week is over and it is now the weekend! Woohoo! There is no Formuala One this weekend we get a break before the Turkish Grand Prix that will be taking place next weekend. This time last year we were in the gap day that exists for the Monaco Grand Prix, it has nearly been an entire year since Jenson Button went for a run down the pit straight. Doesn't time just fly by?
On to the bullet points:
- The previously unseen 2010 Toyota Formula 1 car was given a shakedown by Kazuki Nakajima outside the teams base in Cologne, Germany. The purpose of which is anyones guess. Racecar Engineering has been given access to the TF110 and have carried out a technical review with detailed under body images of the design appearing in the July issue of the magazine. If your more intrested in seeing what the car looks like, you can see it here.
- According to the Sidepodcast calendar this weekend is the next round of the SuperLeague Formula at Magny-Cours. I won't pretend to know anything about SuperLeague all I know is that one Franck Montagny will be taking part so that is reason enough to mention it.
- With it being the weekend, it means that tonight (in the UK at least) there is a new episode of Doctor Who, this weeks episode is titled 'Hungry Earth' the synopsis of which is "It's 2015 and the most ambitious drilling project in history has reached deeper beneath the Earth's crust than man has ever gone before – but now the ground itself is fighting back." You can see some preview clips over on Blogtor Who, here and here.
That about does it for this daily post, I hope you all have a good day and weekend. Let us know what you are up to and I shall see you in the comments!
howdy saturday
Typical. Toyota pull out when they finally get the livery sorted
*sniff* good times. :)
heeeeeh!
Are they trying to flog the car to someone or what? Weeeeird... Maybe they were hoping Nakajima would destroy it and they could claim on the insurance.
I guess they just want to try and get some publicity for all the money they wasted. I thought it was the new car that John Howett trashed. Must have been an old one.
I was going to mention the FOTA/FIA dispute but thought Jenson running down the pit straight was a better thing to mention ;)
appreciate the daily j.
I'm sorry? Someone actually trashed a car? I was only kidding...
tis totally the best thing ever to mention! (hearts) the daily
The team principal was given a run as a reward for all his efforts and he binned it
Wow - just heard on Indy radio that the gap from 1st - 30th place today was just over 0.4 of a second!!
I see someone from here skyped me yesterday by mistake
No problem. was worried it wouldn't make sense, so came back to check just now. I've been surviving on 4 hours a sleep a night recently.
Heard that. Bet he had a smile on his face anyway
:)
Hahahahahahahahaha
0121 28 87225
how hard can it be? :)
I already apologised!! You're lucky I didn't say something rude.
He did?
That is worse than di Montezemolo taking the Ferrari California into the gravel.
Not trying to skype you but someone in the middle east.
#notsayingwho
like gavin at xmas?
I just noticed
wiped off the front i believe
That's nuts
He was running in the factory grounds and failed to avoid something very solid
the difference between this year and 2007 (last 500 pre-merger) is mammoth
If it is like this in a bad economy there must be good times ahead..
2 hours down, 4 to go. I have an exciting afternoon planned! I am getting a hair cut then I am going Spa shopping for a rain coat :D
hopefully, but i've always said that the series was in such a poor way at that time, that in lived in a recession of sorts anyway
oooo! that reminds me.. i need to get a cover for my camera too...
Too organised
Some more pics of that Toyota: http://f1around.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/tf110-—-o-carro-com-o-qual-a-toyota-competiria-em-2010/
Good shot from the front: http://f1around.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/264253.jpg
I've just discovered the downside of following a bunch of people in Twitter to see their LMS updates more easily. I end up seeing all their ALMS tweets too, and I don't have any particular interest in the series yet...
Link fail: http://bit.ly/9iFGRx
Absolutely
http://bit.ly/aGFeJ0 rather.
in future i'll remember to click preview first.
I've got my race ticket and my bed, aside from the tunnel ticket I'm not worrying about anything else until August 21st (1 week to go).
I also need the rain jacket before spa. Winter has hit melbourne!
Amy I swear you're going to bankrupt yourself one day!
right, it's late and i have to have all my energy for shoe shopping tomorrow (help me...) night all! xxx
But it is still here
night lou
Bye..
Night Lou.
Best foot forward tomorrow ;)
Don't forget dumbo flugels
I think Winter is getting power hungry.
I want global warming and I want it now

Global warming's already arrived down here!
also a little further north too
How am i going to bankrupt myself? I am a saving machine!
You sound like a spending machine to me!
I need tips.
Pat,
may i grab your e-mail address? i'll send this Indy shindig to you during the night
I don't fritter my money though, I buy things I actually need. Plus being organised tends to save me $. I would never ever book a flight like Nick does with 2 days warning! I have never been in debt in my life, I even paid off my $20k student loan within 4 months of graduating. I'm so awesome. :D
toomuchracing(at)gmail.com
grand job
:)
I refuse to believe that's possible..
i wish i could pay off my student loan that quickly
I refuse to believe that's possible.. {Comment #56}
It depends what line of work you end up in.
:D
While I was at uni I was working 30 hours a week too so I barely touched my loan money so I put it in a term deposit. When I graduated I paid it back and kept the 4 years of interest. Making money off the government is sweet.
Don't know if I would recommend it though, my marks definitely suffered because I put work ahead of study :D
Ah yes, been there, done that....
Ah. I was too stupid and too lazy to do anything like that.

That explains a lot. Most people in my class couldn't get any work at all during terms at uni, only holiday work (I had the worst experience of anyone I knew on my course because I struggled to even get volunteering let alone paid). While the classmate who went to Google's probably paid off his loan already, I doubt any of my other classmates has. The Student Loans Company still hasn't figured out the correct amount I'm supposed to be paying back and the course finished nearly three years ago.
you gotta love that efficiency
Doing some research - I had no idea about this on Tony Kanaan:
The talented Brazilian was boyhood friends with Formula One driver Rubens Barrichello. In fact, when Kanaan's father died when he was 11, the Barrichellos took him into their family and raised him.
Aww, so Tony's like the brother Rubens never had. Assuming he never had an actual brother...
Yep - they visit eachother quite often. Barrichello has even said as much that he'll do Indy when he hangs up his F1 gloves.
Kanaan and Castroneves are seen as big Brazilian rivals though
I believe has a younger brother
I thought Rubens' wife said she didn't want him to do Indy because she thought it would be too dangerous?
I guess it depends who wins the argument. Schuey has said he'd never race on an oval because of the perceived danger
But then again he also said he'd never do Le Mans. Which is ironic seeing as he made that quote AFTER he raced there for Mercedes in 1991.
there's a question you ask yourself. do i want to sleep on the sofa or not?
Schuey does get confused occasionally - see Belgium '98 when lapping Coulthard and last Sunday at Monaco for examples
he must be right now though? how can it get worse?
it's bound to be a nice sofa though
Hmm, you say that but technically he was within the rules making that pass on Alonso. The race didn't finish under the safety car, there were no yellow flags or SC boards at the time, so up until Webber crossed the line the race was still back on as normal. The FIA even sent the messages "Safety Car in this lap" and "Track clear" to the teams. So essentially, it was just a sprint to the line under green flag conditions. But what's done is done, I guess.
Yes, but it's less funny when you put it that way
;)
i bet it's a sofabed. cheating git.
;)
:D
That's hardly a punishment at all then... Maybe he should sleep on the floor.
Maybe he has a comfy carpet??
was amused with jarno brawn... i mean ross trulli
you mean crash bandicoot?
i meant the photographic evidence seen in the f1 forum from ross.
oh... for a while i thought ross had designed the flying lotus, which would be odd considering he's an electronic musician, so i'd have no idea what he'd be doing in f1 - i can guarantee you he's not italian though...
Ahhh yes,
2.30am - what to do..? I know!! Doctor Who...
:D
plan :)
has to be said. this amy-sitting malarky is a bit easy. she doesn't say much during overtime.
yes, there is a bit of silent treatment going down - did someone say something upsetting?
must've. but we're men, how will we ever figured out what?
I am busy :(
Dr Phil will know the answer
the women certainly won't say specifically. They'll just say "Oh, YOU KNOW!"
heheh. aww.
i only know two doctors and the other is dr. karl.
technically i should be, but i'm taking my time with things
harumph :)
how will we ever learn..?
:o
"you'll never learn!"
well is it any wonder? and with that, goodnight all.
argh kill me! I only agreed to work saturday as there isn't meant to be any work to do!
overtime fail?
Yes :( thankfully only 68 minutes to go then its hair cut time!
. o O ( wonder what time it is now )
late...
that's all i can work out anyway
well, it's late for me (east coast of US), it's REALLY LATE For you!
...or early...
:)
it's beginning to get bright out - the sky is a medium blue now
Hair cut time! See you in hell, work! Or, Monday.
Monday can be hell too, y'know
Shopping has not been too successful so far. But I did find peanut butter m&ms!
just buy a McLaren jacket online? :P
I don't like the mclaren ones :( i would if they were plain and black!
I is on the phone to Sony tech support. Help me Sony lady, help me!
they are having the same issue on one of the consoles in the call center. I am not alone! They still don't know whats causing it though :D
issue has been escalated "as the service is very new" but money is refunded and I feel better :D
ooh! Is this a PS3 thing?
aye, my first attempt at using the video download service was a big fat 'copyright information is invalid' fail.
she thought she had all the answers until I mentioned that I tried renting a second movie and the second one worked perfectly :D
i want f1 debrief and digest back

Found an interview with Stephen Hood, Chief Game Designer for F1 2010
http://www.startselect.com.br/site/article/144/2/entrevista-stephen-hood/
Good to see the British drivers doing well in F2.
morning all those awake. someone save me from going shoe shopping soon.
I hope its more successful than my shopping today!
i have no sympathy for anyone who goes shoe shopping until they've been shoe shopping we me trying to find size 13/14's that fit :P
morning folks - aaaahh... four hours sleep - who could possibly need more??
(thwack)
Ooh, Jon, you're always into feeder series stuff. I've been enquiring with a guy from Pure Tech Racing, and there's a membership scheme where they try to help you into real racing using and developing your skills on their simulators. Perhaps you might be interested in having a chat with them :)
soooo way ahead of you ;)
Ah, good! So you've already spoken to them?
not yet but it is planned for a few weeks
Awesome! I'm planning to get a membership, so I'll definately be interested in this interview :P
hehe i have awful trouble finding nice shoes that i like too.. and i always end up arguing with mum.. bad times
Jon!! not sure if you saw... but i got media access to the motorsport at the palace thing!!
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! :)
and with that.. i must leave... to the shops! *urgh*
xx

Mr C sir...
Hi. Flying visit. Just reading Leigh's email then I'm heading off to golf with Dad.. :)
good afternoon young sir
Hi. All done, sending now. Got to dash though as I said I'd be there at 1..
morning
How are you today? Just putting in a couple of fixes to the Indy post - will send it in a few minutes.
nice one. am just waking up :)
should it go up immediately, or should i schedule it?
sorry jordan. can't do that at the moment :(
Mr C! I am downloading another 5gb movie, this one is working :D Hooray for using all of my data cap!
It should be another 30 minutes or so - 2pm could be good for a lead in. I just hope indycar.com can handle the inevitable extra pressure today...
:)
by the way, final practice is starting on indycar.com - a 30 minute all out run on track. Weather looks good so far
just sent that to you now
ace, have it. will get it posted before 2. remind me we have to give you admin access asap too :)
grand job sir
a 5gb movie? that's huge. is it war and peace?
i remember about 4 or 5 years ago, an italian film was released (i think it was called "the brothers" or something like that) and it was something six hours long.
it was released to cinema's as either two separate films or as one insanely long feature with a 20 minute break in the middle - i didn't go to see it i'm afraid
leigh, do you have title for the post, and should it be part 1 (with pat's being part 2), or are they separate entries?
damn it Sato has walled it!!
heheh!
woops sorry - immediate reaction
Greetings from the Land of Rained-on Tundra. Must be a Weekend....
okay its Indy. What's the gap between 1st and 33rd ?
My bad; Part 1 can be found here - http://theformulaoneandmotorsportsarchive.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/time-part-1-irl/
You can just call it "Pole Day" if you want
he's Ok, but the car is definitely not - the entire rear end is completely smashed
there was 0.5 from 1st-30th, with an extra 0.3 covering the next six spots
a hard hit too - rear ways into the wall
I would agree with you Scott except for that part in the rule book about not being permitted to overtake...It's there in black text and so easy to understand that even Damon Hill can apply it....
ping: http://sidepodcast.com/2010/05/22/pole-day/
entries?
And once again, "The more thnigs seem to change....the more they remain the same"....
Less than two hours to go now - must get myself a shower and some food, it's going to be a long six hours
:D
think it's either 36 or 37 entries this year
good lord. i shall be watching some. but not all of that :)
:)
the first couple of hours could be a little slow as every one gets in at least one set time
From IndyCarNation
i guess i should stretch my legs now in prep for a long afternoon in front of the screen :)
brb.
might be for the best
:D
This BTW is the circuit that could host the US GP in 2012.
http://vimeo.com/11537054
Right food time
Back in a bit
:)
what. there's no run off?
ipad has shipped baby, yeah!
I don't see the appeal to be honest.
it'll change the way i use computers. have been using a US unit at work and i walk around a lot more.
Well, Bernie won't be having that....
Hey folks
i guess they could flatten the forest?
how goes it rg?
Bit of a headache, easing off though. Glad some clouds seem to be coming in as well :)
already? I must check mine :-) it will be coming from Sydney so I don't expect it to change status until the day before. Where's yours coming from? China?
i feel guilty for being indoors for the 2nd nice day in a row. c'mon rain.
Afternoon all
Yayyy, 2 people who dont like sun either!
it doesn't say.
woohoo!
Afternoon everyone :)
Rain is underrated.
Hey Jon and Alex
is it wrong that i've taken the whole of the 28th off, just to wait in for it?
100%, i like clear skys, but its too hot
#sorryamy
it's a revolution!
I just wish I had got mine earlier!
no. No it is not. If I could, I would too. Zoe is on full alert that day - she does not want to miss that courier knocking :-)
in website news - have fixed the broken stylesheet so the twitter page now looks correct. have also added kathi's ical info to the calendar page:
http://sidepodcast.com/twitter/
http://sidepodcast.com/calendar/
in the process i broked the archive page. oops.
christine will be happy!
i may have to fix it :)
Every sleep means one less. Bye all!
true story.
aww :)
I am going to have to move Giggles Radio early tomorrow to 2-4. Hope that's okay with everyone.
fine by me. of course you mean 2 - 4:30.
Hey everyone,
Live pre-Indy qualifying Q&A from Curt Cavin and Kevin Lee is on now - quite Joe like and always worth a watch
:)
Qually soon........
Ooh, interesting - Teamworks, the place we went to for the karting event after Autosport, has a new venue opening in Hertfordshire.
:)
Afternoon all!
afternoon chris
Hey Chris.
I have just been playing some Beatles Rock Band with my new flatmate. I've never had anyone to play with before! It's like having an actual band! New flatmate rules.
I've been told off 3 times for wearing a coat outside - it's not warm enough to take it off yet!

I got an email on that. Unfortunately Letchworth is too far away for me to go there.
4pm folks - Indy Pole Day is GO!!!
:D
Incidentally, Paul di Resta qualified 5th for the DTM this afternoon.
First out - John Andretti
The 7 hour stint starts here
:)
Now, wait - it's AJ Foyt IV
Now, I don't want anyone to get too excited, so prepare yourselves....
....
....THERES ONLY SEVEN DAYS UNTIL EUROVISION!
I have no idea what Eurovision is.
you lucky, lucky, lucky person
I'm looking forward to it this year, as long as Malta don't make it.
you're missing out. Last year was my first time but the live comments here made it AWESOMER.
I have no idea what Eurovision is. {Comment #216}
Lots of European countries compete to see who has the song that the other countries most like.
Indycar:
Gotta say - for a new team, Alex Tagliani's squad is quite fantastic
good afternoon!
good afternoon lou,
what goes on?
i have two pairs of shoes! it's a miracle! :)
Hey!
sweet
:)
ha-ha
i wonder if he'll show up...
its so rediculous. gr
Indycar:
Although the stands are far from full, I think it's the best attendance I've seen on Pole Day for a long timr
How I may spend the next lot of hours... http://twitpic.com/1q1kds
I've just discovered something, it's quite ridiculous.
In GT1 there are 2 races.
The first race finishing position makes the grid for the second race which is the race that is the points scoring race.
Both races are an hour long and to form the grid for the first race there is a qualifying session...
So, qualifying to form the grid for the first race, which forms the grid for the second race with the second race the only thing that actually counts.
Whyyyyy
Schedule fail - much like GP3 too
Because they can?
yay! i'll join ya in a bit.
it seems stoopid, why cant both races count?
motor racing wouldn't be much fun if it wasn't absurd in some way!!
but its so obserd, not just a normal level of obserd-ity
hehehe not sure if anyone's seen this.. but it's kinda amazing :)
http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/the-invisible-cloak-fred
the last one is brilliant!
i really want to attempt something like it now :D
sweet - 50 minutes down and 11 drivers in already
they have sato's crash on the homepage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fDcs3ldrRw
doh!
lucky boy - he'll miss today completely
Scheckter has waved off his run and gone back to the pits - he was well off the pace on his opening lap. He'll try again later...
am all caught up on indy news. have the feed on while working on website stuff.
goo conway!
Conway has been much better this year - hope he gets in well
oooo is he the ex honda guy?
he is. i like his car colours too.
right i'll have to find a stream then.. :P
indycar.com
:)
i just got to the end of your post and found it :) hehe
hehe. he's not out there at the moment, but it's a nice yellow and blue.
right.....*finds a picture*
this one?
http://www.rollcoater.com/images/racecar.jpg
sort of, but the red bit are yellow.
ahh..
it's kinda like an old williams. blue, yellow and white.
...kinda
gotta say, mutoh has definitely stepped up a gear now that he's not driving for andretti anymore - go Hideki!!
oo Conway lives in Kent!
am still looking :P
he'll be alright today with sato out of the picture.
small world!
am shaving off my thick beard in celebration of indy
;)
this one??
http://tinyurl.com/36yzwsg
could you leave a "500" growing?
yeah!
Pics if Leigh does! :D
hmmmmm
maybe the red was better :(
i was beginning to look like this - http://theyeard.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/joaquin-phoenix-beard-1.jpg
mmmm..
i'm not sure i like either.. the blue is a nice colour.. but... i'm not keen on the shape of the cars. They look very 'boxy'
could be worse... http://www.cargurus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/delta_wing_indy_car_concept.jpg

Weirdly, I like that. Very futuristic!
if it comes with exhaust flames, i won't complain.
:D
Eurgh I hate spending such a nice day inside!! I've spent most of my day throwing things in the bin....
Would it be wrong to request it painted black with a certain logo finely placed?
:)
If it has a turbo engine, exhaust flames will only happen on downshift, but yeah!
woah now steady on!
haha! one pair of high heels and one pair of flats.. the miracle is that i got them so quickly, and they fit :)
C'mon Justin!!
he might get confused with the bloke from the Monaco grid!
well that's great news. Shoe shopping is very annoying!
i didn't see, what did he do?
Oooh Lou... Not sure if you were planning to mention my radio show in your daily but if you do can you mention the changed time (just for this week of 2-4). Are you still determined to miss it?
A coldplay song made the longlist but I had to delete it because you told me to!
pictures in about 10 minutes, this is taking a while
you're actually doing it?
it was that actor from that 500 film... Or was it 300... Stupid memory!
yep
:)
Am thinking we need to see pictures of the whole outfit now the shoes have been purchased :)
and Hello all.
howdy janna
hey hey :)
hey
okay, will mention it :)
I really wish i could listen.. but i have my german friend over... and we have been invited to my friends... and then i'm off to my teachers house for a farewell BBQ.. :( so yeah i'm going to miss it...
i knew this would happen, the one week where i really can't listen and you want to play coldplay :(
heya
oo my German friend just told me lots of zoos in Germany have pandas :) and when if i go to Germany she'll take me to see them! :)
they used to. until alex nicked one, and left it at the airport...
Hey Alex, glad to see you are doing your bit to ensure we don't get sunburn by keeping us inside tomorrow afternoon ;)
:D she promises to take me to Berlin and her local zoo.. both of which have pandas :) hehehe i'm going to steal one
#confidential..
it's okay. It actually wasn't going to be in. It might make it into a show I'm planning for the end of the alphabet.
no problem honestly.
true story :)
hellloooooooo
panda headping?
I dont know how to steal a panda. don't know till you've tried it I suppose!
immigration is an issue (allegedly)
when I went to barcelona with the school (passport etc) someone bought a turtle there on las ramblas. Needless to say, our teachers weren't impressed.
Panda's are different though. They're like people, but more pandary.
ruh-ruh
another KV driver wrecks it
:)
heheheheeh!!
marshalls aren't in a hurry are they?
they tend to take a more leisurely approach in qually - hopefully shouldn't be too long. est stick on the kettle...
eheh i like reverse replays, that's awesome.
gtg friends here :)

Hullo!
What an awesome sunny day :) It helped my golf game, best round in ages.

afternoon sidepodworld...
evening guille
what goes on?
literally nothing...
I'm having a (very) relaxed Saturday :P
awwww... how nice
:)
Hi guille, thanks for all the tweets about the Argentine Bicentennial, I didn't know anything about it.
Am following a chap on Twitter who does Dr Who podcasts and is also a Lego fanatic. He's building a Millenium Falcon and tweeting his progress. This is my favourite picture so far.
http://twitpic.com/1q2g8o
Doctor Who ping!! - http://wibblywobbly.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/the-hungry-earth-permanently-grounded/
Nice :)
You're welcome! To be completely honest, I had to re-check the history of the 'May week' (which I learnt a lot of years ago...). But I found it very interesting (and challenging) to condense the most important news headline for each day in less than 140 characters!
Isn't it time for it to be cold again now???
No! The cold is down here now. Cold is good, cold means snow and ski. It's 'our' cold now :P
I hate tidying up :( Please can I learn to be more tidy and organised in the future??
time for a stretch - the first 5 hour session Indy 500 is done. time for a break and a cup of tea
:)
...so how is everyone?
Positions 10 through 24 for the 2010 #indy500 - http://twitpic.com/1q44gy
Not too bad, enjoying the champions league final from that Football sport :P
Who's playing? Good game?
It's on in the background - looking good for Jose
This is quite rubbish compared to the Championship playoff earlier.
So, is this the end of football for the season?
Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich. Been an OK game but as RG says the final earlier was so much better
Howeverm this game has the special one. (aka jose mourinho) ;)
I need someone to tidy up my house for me now please!!
He may be special, but he's no Johnny Herbert
Hide everything in the cupboard/attic/under the bed
End of domestic football, internationals start up again next week in prep. for the World Cup
Evening all
Aaahh I see - Ireland won't be doing any World Cup prep y'see
evening Steven
That's not so great when you're trying to move out perhaps :P
This may be a flaw in the plan :)
Heh, unfairly as well.
Evening Steven
Steeeeeven. You'll volunteer to help me move won't you :D
The last time Wales made World Cup preperation, Elvis was starting to get popular
Worrying stuff.
I would love to volunteer RG to help you move.
Ah I see. Odd time for a game innit?
Hi
Hmmmmm that's an excuse and a half....
Wha? This time I didn't say anything about that....
It has been a Wednesday night game since it started in 1956 so they decided to do something insane and make it a Saturday night game where they will get a fraction of the audience. I think Max may have a new job with UEFA
You can't call RG that
I think you'd be a lot better at moving things. Plus you can drive!!
I bet it'll push up the pub audience though
But he is so much closer
Well...thanks.
i'm not sure it will - saturday pub goer's tend not to have football on their minds at that time, which is why i think midweek worked so well
saturday football has nearly always been better for 3/4pm kick offs
I am not sure about that. It's a lot easier for men to disappear off to the pub on their own to watch it on a midweek night than a Saturday.
Exactly. You are a goalkeeper so you are used to picking things up
Someone on track at Indy
Well, this is the time that most Spanish/Italian matches kick off, so perhaps its focusing on a more European audience.
If you're going to squabble like that, you can both come!!!
The Pole Day shoot out is starting, so I'm heading back to the Indy page
Indeed, and I certainly haven't dropped anything since last year.
I'm going away to sulk!! I never get help with anything :cry:
Don't sulk. Nick will help
Yeah he already said he was sorry he couldn't. He really did look sorry......
you should be proud to be an independent woman.
beyonce said so.
:D
Yeah last time I asked him to get me a drink while he was stood next to the bar, I was told I was emancipated :( Life is not good.
You need to sort him out
(hearts) nick!
i shall remember that one.
True story.
Anyways, it's back to the grindstone....
At least we will give you moral support
Oh dear :( Why is contents insurance so expensive :( :( :(
Lukeh!!!!
Because people make claims they are not entitled to make
I just want people not to steal my stuff :(
That is the problem. You have no option but pay it. It's like a protection racket
He was around a few minutes ago.
doesn't matter now have sorted it. Am going back to drink more pimms..
Looking forward to the drunken daily
daily scheduled i hope it works...
You were supposed to be late to make Mr C look better
yay. thanks lou.
Vista... what an absolute nightmare to install.
Phew. I appear to be insured. And not bankrupted so that's good....
My head hurts from reading too many t&c though :(
Well done. At least that is one problem dealt with
I have no doubt I'd suddenly find some section that meant I couldn't have any money if I actually needed it....
Being insured and making a claim successfully are two entirely different things
My dad was abroad during ash silliness and he had his airline saying he'd have no compensation because it was "weather" and his insurer saying they wouldn't cover him because it wasn't weather.... I'm not sure where you go from there.
I haven't heard anyone passing it off as weather before
Why is everywhere much messier than when I started???
I took everything out, threw away 3 binbags worth of stuff and now everything won't fit back away. This is confusing for me....
Tidying is a crime against nature and this is nature's way of punishing you
I'm also confused as to when I became so fat. Today sucks :cry:
I know this one. :)
You are not fat
There's ALMS now if anyone wants it, 6hr race at Laguna Seca. I'm not following it, going to put music on and see if I can get this blog post finished.
Not the same without the top teams
You could maybe work on making that sound more natural....
It's okay though, things are looking up. I found a cheque for a penny that somehow I couldn't be bothered to cash before.... Can't imagine why?!?
I knew it couldn't be that easy.
I used to have a cheque on the wall for 69p from Littlewood's pools. It was the first thing anyone saw coming in the door and the reaction to it was incredible then the saw the amount
Cripes, I just realised my car is due a service soon :( :( :( How much does that cost? :(
You need Amy to organise your life
exactly
How old is the car?
A year, there's nothing wrong with it but I need to get it serviced or I'll invalidate my waranty.
if it's a service to validate the warranty, isn't it free?
No. I really don't think so. I have a 5 year waranty but it's conditional on my following their service schedule. I'm pretty sure it won't be free. That would be a nice surprise....
Ah. Don't know then
Definitely won't be free
I think here you normally pay for the spare parts and work if there is something to fix (there will always be... :P), but the warranty checking in itself is free at an authorized dealer
:) :) :)
Ah I see. I would have to pay for an hour's time to look over my car. If anything is wrong with it, I don't have to pay. They just fix it.
is there an app for that?
if so £0.59p
I ring my dealer on Monday and ask how much :( I've never had to service a car before. Bad times.
Just realised we've not heard much from Christine for a few days.. not even a Panda post on Thursday..
Her last comments were yesterday, featuring this: http://twitpic.com/1pn298 . Before asking someone else to write the daily post. I theorise that she must have went to McLaren and nicked all that food...
