Good morning, how is your long weekend going? Looking forward to the Easter Bunny visiting tomorrow? Me too!
Lukeh linked to the latest Aside yesterday but just in case you have been living under a rock and have missed it, here is the latest aside. Geez I feel spoiled this week: a Debrief and an Aside! Big thanks to the C’s!
So no more Turkey after this year. They say they can’t afford the doubling of the price of the race. But will F1 miss the race? With such poor crowd numbers, apparently not.
Pat Symonds has been getting more involved with Virgin Racing. He is reviewing the teams operation’s to help improve on their poor performance in 2011. Speaking of Virgin, have you read the blog from the CSC trackside team on the CSC website? The latest China blog includes some interesting information on seamless shifting.
Mark Sutton wrote a blog including some cool photos. Funny to see Michael Schumacher driving the limousine service car himself! I particularly liked the Q2 queue photo. I thought Q3 last weekend was a bit of an anti-climax after all that queuing excitement in Q2. Talking about photographers, Darren Heath wrote about falling in love with F1 at the age of 16.
The Team Lotus buys Caterham story got out early: Autosport noted that next week Team Lotus is holding a press conference at Duxford Airfield to make this announcement. And Joe wrote about Team Lotus principals being appointed as directors over a week ago, and in the comments on this blog, Joe pointed out that he first wrote about Team Lotus’ plans in December.
The FIA may ban DRS at the Monaco GP due to safety concerns which might disappoint Nico Rosberg who thinks DRS might be the best idea yet!
Finally, if you want something to watch while unwrapping easter eggs, the Chinese GP race edit has been uploaded to F1.com. Hopefully the Malaysia race edits will be uploaded before the Turkish GP! Or else for those outside the UK, I’ve noticed that Ted’s pitlane reports have been uploaded on YouTube.
Happy Easter and happy long weekend!
Hello new Daily :)
I'd completely missed the darren heath blog!
hehe yep works for me too! I think Darren and his friend may be on to something.
Lovely daily Pamela :)
But I wasn't watching when I was 16. No fair!
For Lukeh - the 30 day music thing but for films! http://www.avfcforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12594
That can be next on your list.
Also, that is fate.
I saw the film thing on Facebook but wanted a non-FB link so turned to Google, who pointed me to some Aston Villa forums.
Small world.
yay, pamela daily.
"But will F1 miss the race? With such poor crowd numbers, apparently not."
i like/d that it was an anti-clockwise circuit. variety is good. otherwise it's a hard place to love.
Yess!!!!
:( does it work for the first few years you were watching f1 though?
for me 2006 - 2009 were just amazing years for F1. I even don't mind so much that JB had a bad few years, I enjoyed it regardless :) I was thinking the other day how i wanted the racing to go back to how it was in 2006-7 and tbh i've no idea why, i just know they were great seasons and i loved every second. strange really!
Mmm, not really. My favourite driver is Petrov. I am too fickle for this to work :)
:D but but.. Franck?
Yea. I think I might have imagined him or something.
:D
Hmmm where was Rubens when I was 16?
I am 21.. so...
No I'm 22 actually
Well that's a good start
Hehehe!
:D
i can't believe he's not found his way onto twitter yet :(
:D
He has seen I Heart Franck so he knows the internet exists and Christine is from it. He has no excuse :)
The best age :D
I quite liked 21. Two nice numbers, now I just feel greedy stealing all the 2's

21 seems like a ridiculously long time ago tbh
hehe 21 seems too close for me.. *runs*
works for me as well :)
I'm only 22! :) The last year has seemed very quick and very long both at once I guess. I was just thinking all that ash cloud business can't be a whole year ago but I can hardly remember being 21....
I can't even remember what I did when I turned 21.
that's cause you were too drunk :P <3
You have no idea
Ohhh... was that 21?!
What was this years? Was that 22? oh i don't know. Let's all be 1 forever, age is confusing.
:D
22! Try staring down the barrels of forty... (NEXT year! Not made 39 yet!)
:-)
Um. On't' subject of 40... I have a little list and, um, a daily is on it...
If you'd like one that is?
Absolutely! Soon, or as a future goal?
yeah 2009 right? so yeah that was THAT year :)
Blimey it was. Jenson's year. Gosh I don't know how the doctor feels handling all that time I can barely keep up with normal timey wimey
Before end of May 2012.
There, done, said to be held to! Can't get out of now :-)
You are on my list now!
They are making a Futurama Monopoly!!!! Wow!!!

With a free token!! Whatever that means!!
There is a daily looking for a guest writer next week
Woo!
Now I just have to actually get the list out of the notebook and onto a blog somewhere... Foolishly 'inspire blog envy' is also on there, which means I'm probably going to have to drag 'graphic design' and 'how to code/write HTML' out of long term memory...
Going to F1 or similar is also on the list....
What have I started?
Hello Saturday, so it was a Good Friday after all
Evening folks
Hi Bassano. You are late for the argument
I was otherwise engaged and it was worthy but that is a shame
Shall I join you in yesterday?
Hello all
I'm gonna be late for work in a wet uniform at this rate.... I meant to get up and pull my uniform out the washing machine hours ago then steven started arguing and then he made me read this huge article #blamesteven
Always
I feel we don't do that enough these days
Hi Joe
I'm trying to work out which we are all in ... collectively
#blamesteven for not blaming steven enough?
100%
Good idea :D
✔
We are spread between two days. I think it is because it is a holiday it is confusing people
:)
Hi Joe
I keep making a ping noise when I see the tick. It just feels right.
Shall we rename it Confusing Friday?
:lol:
You were all miserable and alienated despite at least two of us agreeing with you. I made a simple statement and you started an argument
heehe i'm going to leave you all to continue your debate. My cold/hayfever/whatever the hell it is needs to go away and sleep will hopefully help with that. night all! xx
Night Lou
Does χ make you hear 'err nurrr'?
Sweet dreams Lou
I believe I have that covered.
Ahh, Christine. May I say how well you did in keeping the boys close to 'on topic' during the Joe conversation
Ditto. An excellent "Aside"
If they had their way, it would have been 40 minutes of film reviews, 10 minutes of F1.
Right. Going to find podcasts and go to sleep. Tis only five hours tops till dawn breaks...
Didn't know. I just can't let a potential volunteer go
Hehe, I understand. Particularly a willing one.
Good night
Exactly. It can take me days to make a volunteer willing
Night LPG, good to see you here again
I was surpised not to hear anything about Bernie's troubles in Germany, or did that not hit the wires yet?
It was on the blog, I think
Don't they know that's our job?
we talked about it in the previous show.
:)
I may have to relistento that...hey sounds like another trip to the Casino then.
Must sleep, night lovely people.
I did no such thing!!
Now, now. :D
Night Christine
G'night Christine
Happy Milky Bar Easter Egg dreams
You'll all be glad to hear I rescued my laundry from the washing machine, I think it must be too late for a shower though #wheredidmydaygo
Night Christine
You need to pay for a new argument
hehhe
That's getting a lot of mileage lately
Just a statement, no disagreement required ;)
How can I get rid of a blister on the sole of my foot?
Sorry I don't know that sketch
drain it, bandage it
Put to pin prick holes on opposite sides with a sterile needle and leave it alone. Maybe put a plaster on it afterwards
i shall call it a night too. cheers to pamela for the daily and yay for dailies: http://sidepodcast.com/post/happy-anniversary-to-the-new-and-improved-daily-posts
:lol:
:lol:
:lol:
G'night Sir
stop walking
Eurgh no it's not that bad. I literally kept my foot up all day today and it's gone right down but I might cry if I have to walk on it all day tomorrow.
And that or get some shoes that don't rub
It's not that bad but you kept your foot up all day.
Is it just a flesh wound?
I mean it's flipping sore. I was limping yesterday but it's not going to benefit from pins.
It's just too much time spent running around on my feet in an overheated workplace, not my poor shoes.
Night Mr C
:D
I disagree
And again
How do your shoes rub on the sole of your foot?
By slipping, causing friction and the blister is a reaction to it
Next question
Did you not study anatomy? Walk with no shoes on and watch how your foot flexes
But I mean why would I wake up one day and suddenly get blisters wearing 3 month old shoes?
Heat. Feet swell and sweat. Increased friction
So it's not my shoes?
For the conditions?
Much as I'd love to work in flip flops, I'm not allowed :D
A strange mobile game has been released where you have to prevent a firing squad from shooting someone
Reased by Amnesty International
Bulletproof
there are some good socks for running that cut down on the friction issues
what do you do
That could be a good look, take pictures please
pictures of blisters that'll be a good wallpaper
I can only guess based on the info available. You have all the info
How weird
I feel like it definitely means I deserve extra time off. Industrial accident and all :D Failure to provide appropriate footwear.... Something like that.
I was thinking of the socks and flip flops
Does your employer provide footwear?
Ah, the elderly look here in Fla
Have you tried turning them off and on again?
No but clearly they should! :D
Ask for a risk assessment
Hehehe fix my air conditioning, it gave me a blister.
Don't you have an accident/injury book or an Occupational Safety Report you can file?
Of course but about a blister? Might give my area manager something to smile about. Last time I met our H&S man, he said I wrote cute messages in the accident book. I'm not writing about my blister and sending it off to senior personnel. It's embarrassing enough owning up to actual accidents I've had.... :D
Wwll, yes. If it got infected and caused you to take time off
Otherwise, I think you've answered all your own questions :D
I write awesome action plans:
All staff to place dishes into the sink NOT THROW!
All staff to wear flip flops with socks in warm weather
I should completely have sent that in on an accident form as an April fool.... Maybe next year :D
I can't imagine flip flops to be suitable for such an environment, a conscientious manager would send you home. Socks or not
[May result in reduced pay, Bassanos cannot be held responsible]
Please, please do :)
My line manager is on a reduced timetable as she's struggling to get used to being pregnant. I can do what I like these days :D

Good morning everyone. Is anybody awake?
I am!
Well at least you can skip the yogurt, cos it's already ...
I'll get my coat ...
yo folks
All this sunshine, I just don't know what to do with it.
This looks like fun: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13172998
Same! Got loads to do inside in readiness for a flat inspection on Weds (actually mostly fine but I want to get clutter removed). Much rather go outside but no idea where or why.
RG found Harrods
http://plixi.com/p/95105001
In Oulton Park today. Didn't realise it was so difficult to get to.
Ah you made it. Middle of nowhere?
Okay here's the plan:
Stick on a bit of recorded racing.
Do lots of filing and shredding and put the washing on.
When racing finishes go wandering around town to find a bit of lunch.
Return and do more stuff.
Go to Dad's to 'babysit' sister.
Middle of nowhere would be an understatement. The nearest town/village is about four miles out - and I unknowingly walked it.
i'm betting that picture is of the three women in the middle ;)
That sounds like a good plan. Wandering around is always better when it ends in lunch :)
Why has it got Switzerland all over it?
Maybe it's where has his tax base?
If you happen to pass by Harrods in Knightsbridge at the moment you will see the building adorned with Swiss flags and many of the window displays with a Swiss theme.
There's a Swiss chalet in the pedestrian area to the side of the world famous department store and a host of other initiatives to promote the country.
So, what is going on?
Switzerland is trying to re-shape its image and sell its summer product.
http://www.planetski.eu/news/2692
:)
ouch
Yep
i heart switzerland
I don't think that applies to me, but then I always have been a tad awkward...
That makes you immune to the theory ;)
Yesterday feels like a really long time ago for me right now...

Get a box of blister plasters, then you don't even need the pin. It also allows you to take your shoes and socks off and on again periodically through the day (not in front of people, obviously, and remember to wash your hands afterwards...)
Yes I am :)
RG's in London!
Afternoon peeps. Lazy Saturdays are great
Good afternoon. I'm treating myself to a "new" PDA after my previous one got stolen this morning. Surprised at how cheap it looks like being to replace (the model was only 4 years old and HP sold it until the end of last year!)
* - In case you're wondering, I'm replacing like-for-like because nothing I've seen come out since does what I want it to do anything like as cheaply.
This probably came up yesterday but it's new to me
Pat Symmonds is consulting for Virgin
I hope he tells them that CFD only is a bad idea
He's probably been telling them that since he turned up, considering he'd just come from a team that switched to a more CAD-dependent arrangement for staffing reasons and suffered for it...
It's all gone into the smart phone Market now
Boo for stolen gadgets though
Doh! Just reading the Daily now and seeing that Pamela had it covered
Thinking of Turkey leaving to make way for Austin
I wonder if they can chop Valencia for the Indian GP? [Bahrain or Abu Dhabi would be also acceptable ;)]
Which is fine except the smartphones that are capable of everything I use a PDA for cost a fortune. Getting what I had before doesn't.
What makes it worse is that I've been told that some of the items I went into the shop where the theft happened were not the ones that were wanted in the first place. I hate shopping for other people :(
I remember it was rumoured several months back that he was going back to F1, but only in consulting capacity, but it never said who at the time.
I used to like him, not sure I want him to return when the ban ends
I think he's been at Virgin since the season started.
New PDA should be arriving mid-to-late this week - and my F1 Racing has landed in my postbox. Suddenly the day feels much better :)

if English beaches are all that crowded I never ever want to go to one :D
depends on which one you go to. there a few near my house that aren't so crowded.
this is my 'local' in New Zealand at it's busiest :)
Hello again.
Done!
Walked all around the busy high streets (market day!) and found a salami and mustard baguette and some traditional lemonade, which I have just brought home.
Hmm.. don't wanna. :)
ahh.. lucky :(
perhaps we don't pack our beaches as much as we get more than a week of summer each year :D
Train... busy beach... beach isn't a mud flat... I vote you went on the Paignton steam train (can't remember where it goes).
that's probably true. Although i'm holding out for the idea that this is just the start of our summer, otherwise i'm gonna miss all of the sunshine. silly work.
Surely that's Scotland, near Montrose...
we had a pretty bad summer so I was hoping we'd have a mild winter to make up for it but I don't think so somehow. We've already had some super cold days.
if the sun goes away I will shake my fist at it good and proper. It has to stay all summer now, its only fair after months of cold and snow
That or Swanage. Can't be Minehead, Minehead isn't that pretty.
oh we had an awfully cold winter.. it was even worse for that week in Germany.. -10 is too cold.
Got to be a good summer. I can feel it. The man at the golf club said 197whateveryearitwaswhenitwasthehottestever started like this.
I have celebrated easter by making banoffee pie but it didn't really set so its more 'bananas in runny caramel, vaguely on top of a biscuit crust'
still tastes good though.
swanage it is then :)
oh yes thats not nice. I just have to remind myself I had an extra month of summer last winter by escaping to Europe. Except Spa, Spa was NOT summer.
ah but Spa was warm?.. despite the rain :)
Still sounds nice :)
ohh that reminds me, mum and i are baking a simnel cake and some other yummy foods later :)
all I remember is rain. Rain and mud. I guess there was little bits of sun that dried me out just enough to get rained on again. Raaaaaaaain. *rocks in corner*
Aha! So it wasn't one miles away I'd never heard of. :) Nearly didn't mention it because I couldn't remember a beach. Must be lovely there apart from the people. :D
my flatmates keep saying no when I offer them some and I may give myself diabetes if I eat the whole thing. You lot should come help me eat it :)
hehe FP2 was very sunny if i remember :) hehe i honestly didn't mind the rain.. *
*i may or may not be crazy
As banoffee pie is clearly the greatest of the desserts I consider your flatmates odd.
this bus has no openable windows, excuse me whilst I turn into steam
don't forget the mega storm on the final night :)
I am glad I am not a man and thus did not feel obliged to help stop the camp from destroying itself :D

Ooh, future post?
Has the Posterous had comments disabled?
Thinking of next Friday, will that wedding be FBFB'd or a banned topic?
Probably a post and yes to comments.
I want a thread! Even if I'm the only one watching it :D
wooot! Time to start planning my royal wedding snacks :D
Mrs C how are you able to see the ipad screen in the sunshine?!
A thread sounds good. No FBFB.
i've got mixed feelings about watching the wedding. Part of me wants to, but i'm in london and tbh i think i'm gonna want to leave as soon as i can so i dont get caught in the crowds.
A post coming about that too.
:)
Anti-glare screen protectors are good. I used to have one on my phone
ooh yes the crowds wouldn't be fun. Why don't these people watch on TV, they'll see more. And they'll have Jake! Amongst others, I get the feeling every person employed by the BBC in the whole world is on the coverage.
The person having the party I have to go to that night says on the Facebook event page " I don't mind if you only come for one drink" so I might take her up on that. Even going for one drink I'll miss some of the buildup, oh no!
I haven't tested mine outside since I put it on. I do not like it, I never put screen protectors on anything.
Sounds good, for those who wish to comment and those who wish to avoid. Thanks
Where will you be, there won't be crowds everywhere. Maybe I'm underestimating the national interest
well i'm coming home on the 29th, so either charing cross, st pancras or waterloo are the stations i can get home from.. it's the underground i'm mostly scared of.
I don't like them but I didn't like the huge scratch on the previous phone either
Bus?
I've absolutely beat up the surround on my phone but the actual screen is still 100% perfect. Nokia must use good glass or something :D
i'm not overly great with buses i may have to though if it's too busy.
#sorrylou
What time of day will you be moving between stations?
haha don't apologize! :)
Touch or large screen phones are just a pain when scratched, it irritates me. Never bothered before
erm.. in my head i'm planning on going on the underground after the wedding has started.. can't be heaps more people than usual on the underground once the wedding has started?
mines touch screen, I just trusted it when they said it was bulletproof :D
I only bothered with the iPad because there is a window behind where I sit and the glare was killing me.
What about Thursday evening?
Oh, you trust them, that's fine then ;)
i'll be in london earlier on thursday i think, so my usual not using undergrounds unless i cant help it in rush hour strategy will happen i think :)
I'll report back if and when I come to regret this :)
ill look after you,don't worry :)
I'm sure it'll be fine. It sounds like it's the stuff they make Terminators out of :D
its gorilla glass apparently. whatever that means. i just focused on the word 'bulletproof'
Maybe I should always wear it over my heart, just in case.
I've heard from that but it's only a matter of time the World Wildlife Fund steps in. Poor gorillas
Just got in and the first thing I see on google reader is this video of cookie the penguin:

Karun's plane has some odd in-flight entertainment...
Where's he going to and from?
Is ok, just seen it:
All time greatest delayed flight excuse-"Chennai ATC couldn't reach the landline number of Mumbai ATC so we just got through on a mobile"!!!
Chennai to Mumbai. Apparently the flight is delayed because the former had to contact the latter by mobile phone instead of the usual landline...
Pretty sure there are radio channels for that sort of thing
Did anyone tell the air traffic control offices in question?

Great apartment in Miami.
There's a trainer called Roger, is he the guy who was at Red Bull, maybe he's freelance?
yeah thats the same guy, his name is Roger Cleary :)
People pop up in the oddest places.
he helped Chris van der Drift with his recovery after his accident too. Sounds like he keeps busy :)
He's one of the many motorsport people who you sort of know about but don't really know about.
Right, I should go outside again. Must 'babysit'* my sister this evening. Shall pick up an easter egg (or two ;)) on the way. I think she still watches Dr Who. Maybe I'll 'just happen' to get there for the start. I don't watch it. Honest. It was just on.

Hi Alison
Any thunderstorms oop North?
Loads of lightning last night but nothing today. Just a bit sticky outside. Not had any actual rain to go with the lightning yet....
I think everyone is having post-DW dinner
i'm not, just working and wishing that the storms would head our way cause i've got quiet a headache..
looking through today's work. photo editing on the road gets easier every year. need an ipad2 to try out the same with video.
Are you still waivering or just waiting for the demand to subside?
What about the Vimeo app?
on the ipad? will check it out.
Well, it's on the iPhone so it should work if the video has been imported to your library. Do you have a camera connection kit?
new mac was expensive. soon though.
it says it's ipad 2 only?
Says iPad 2 :(
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/vimeo/id425194759?mt=8
True. New iMacs very soon, glad I waited
Yeah, what geration is your iPod Touch?
Says 4th Gen is ok
all macs will be upgrading to thunderbolt. don't buy anything except a macbook pro right now.
camera kit doesn't work on the ipod touch?
http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/
doesn't matter what that says, thunderbolt is the future of mac connectivity ;)
You can't export with a standard lead? Odd
Another reason to entice up to iPhone I guess
you plug it in and it says "not supported".
I know that, it's failrly useful guide for those who don't follow the scene though.
iMac showing 'constraint in the supply chain' this week. Tis a good sign of an imminent refresh. Plus, Apple like to issue new hardware after an earnings report
:( Boo
am just excited by thunderbolt, it's the most interesting hardware update for many. many years.
True. Just hurry up and make compatible peripherals :)
seconded
And I ain't buying any external hard drives WD, until you do! :D
Right, back to the Apple Store for my appointment to swap out my phone again

ooh hello daily #sheepish
hi amy
Talking of photos, can anyone recommend me a cheap as chips digital camera?
amy, you need an eye-wi card. it's new and freakishly awesome.
my friend has a camera similar to this;
http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/77158/show.html
a good deal from Jessops there.. although if you want something cheaper, i've no idea of the quality but low end nikon and canon digi cameras are often a safe bet.
eye-wi? eye-fi.
Oooh thanks. Anything under £100 I can live with.
that camera (£179 worth) is a pretty good deal for you then! :)
For those with a vague interest

Today was good. I decided to get over my fear of talking to drivers and ventured down to Carlin to chat with Jack Harvey.
Also ventured to the podium for a couple of post race soundbites
:)
Jack harvey! Yay!
It's quite disconcerting though. I'm used to musicians who are often overly buoyant and outlandish, whereas a lot of racing drivers almost timid at times.
awww yaayy! did Jack do well?
i want i want i waaaaaant. It'd be super for taking photos in Singapore and then viewing on my iPad back at the hotel :D and then i want one shaped like a memory stick so i can use it in my other camera too.
Finished P11 after starting 12th
aw :)
Not that new? surely they have been around for 2 or 3 years now?
Oulton Park can be painful to try and pass on though - it's all fast, flowing stuff, but with little opportunity to really pull off a hard braking move.
I can check the prices here against any you find :)
Not trying to flog me things from dodgy websites again are you?
i'm gonna try get into F3, so keeping an eye on Jack's performance seems a good way to start. am looking forward to when the F3 heads down to brands. Going to try come along one of the days of the weekend i think :)
Do - it's good fun. I think the British GT's are on that weekend too
:D
ohhh okay! also, if you find an easy public transport way of getting to brands do let me know :)
Gah
That should be http://yfrog.com/h0a5npkmj
London to Eynsford Rail station. Takes about 40 mins from London Victoria and leaves you 3 miles outside the circuit. Should be easy enough from there.
Hello everyone.
I have a pretty rough 730 word daily with around 18 links so if anyone else has any ideas to tell me please do so.
hehe i live south from Brands, but shall see how i get to Eynsford station..
It is not working on the iPad but if there is a cocktail menu here: http://www.tgifridays.co.uk/Cocktails then Mr C is open to suggestions.
*shoos off the flash intro* does this work for you guys?
http://www.tgifridays.co.uk/Drinks-Menu
oooh this is also a prime opportunity to learn about cocktails too :)
#cocktailnoob
Hello
ooh
There is one called a Silver Mercedes, that's just fate
Much better. of course we also have actual menus :)
I suggested Purple Rain... because it is purple. Any others?
Singapore Sling, that's F1.
Depends if gin is liked though :)
Caipirinhas are what the champions usually drink when the title's decided at Interlagos, isn't it? :)
You guys are most excellent at seeking out the F1 in a situation :)
Oh wow, sod the F1, pick everything on the Smooth n Creamy page they look lovely :)
I want to suggest Gremlin, but at the same time, I don't. It seems a most scary name for a drink!
Baileys!!
There are a few Russian ones there
#Petrov
I was gonna suggest the Russian Spring Punch
I can't deal with creamy cocktails though....
I hope you are drinking one for yourself and one for us. I join you with cider.
There's some Magners in the fridge and I'm tempted to join you with the cider.
He is finishing off a beer that was for him, the cocktail will be for you :)
Greetings. Which day midnight is the deadline for the daily again? Do you want by the begining of Sunday or by the end of Sunday ?
Waves back at Christine and Mr C.
I had no idea waves travelled so slowly
End of.
I saw the link to ike Conway's diary.
Two thoughts spring to mind. Whoever edited it needs tobe slapped.
And I had no idea Jedward had advertised a vacnacy
http://plus.autosport.com/free/feature/3452/mike-conway-indycar-diary/
:D
We think we are going for the Silver Mercedes although it is right next to one called Uncle Bulgaria and Mr C is tempted :)
That Mercedes one looked 100% delicious!
I want one. Do you think TGIF will deliver cocktails?
Christine: 23/04/2011 at 21:16:38
Great, that means I can send out Version 6 and 7/8ths ! (Errr, nothing to do with Leiws Carroll, here, really :P )
That's not on the website menu. One each, get a taxi home :)
I was trying to find it. There is anuncle Vanya but I am pretty sure Chekov didn't write Womble stories. They are much more Sulu's style.
Am 'babysitting'. We have small bags of mini creme eggs.
Golfing ping

Haha.
Most refreshing
Well, that was 2 hours I'd like to reverse, where's my time machine?
Here we go: http://sidepodcast.posterous.com/as-chosen-by-sidepodcast-comments
Looks good. Are the balloons for you?
Swapped my yellow tinged phone, tried 2 in store that were the same [the demo models were 'normal']
Accepted the advice that the yellow may fade in 1 - 2 weeks [it won't]
Swallowed a fly on the way back to the car, which had a parking ticket that'll cost me £65 :(
I'm definitely not letting this yellow screen thing go now!
Yay!
It doesn't look very silvery. I was very curious when I saw the ingredients how they were going to make it silver and they just did not bother
Hmm, Magners
Sadly the pubs in London seem to sell Bulmers instead now which saddens me cos it's awful
I get the feeling they don't know what they are getting into
Hehe, no, but I might steal one on the way out.
I don't mind Bulmers, but that's probably because I used to drink Strongbow and moving onto anything from that is like drinking the best thing ever :D silly stomach acid.
But Magners is definitely cider of choice, yummy.
You got that right
They'll get Bassano'd at some point if I don't get a white screen that doesn't look like Gold Top milk
Sadly I have a Strongbow as that's what Dad had in his fridge.
A good one is Thatchers Gold which you may find at Tesco
Hmm, are we still trying to do the Positive Previews for the Circuits this year?
The whole Magners/Bulmers thing is even more confusing because 'M' is called Bulmers in Ireland and Magners is the cheap end of the market stuff from the same company
Yes
Nope.
I'll look out for that, I don't know much about Cider
Is it crisp or quite sweet?
Rekorderlig is quite nice if you like other fruit ciders
Just got to watch Doctor Who - not bad at all. Really looking forward to next week's
#notashockreally
:)
Err, reasonably sweet, really appley. Which sounds silly but some only taste vaguely appley.
Okay, I can now widen the scope I had for that Montreal Blog....
Have you given up on them or just decided there is no need.
That is the second time in 24 hours I have had a volunteer on the line and you have set them free :(
Oh yes that's very nice, they (I think it was them) did a winter cider too, nice
just remembered i'm doing a daily for tomorrow! :) soo. does anyone have any links they would like me to include?
Just the Dr Who episodey thingy for me pleasey please :)
already got it :)
They never got started.
May I leave you the Oulton Park shindig please?
:)
i have this link for you, is this the one?
http://theformulaoneandmotorsportsarchive.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/2011-british-f3-round-of-oulton-park-rd-2-race-1-april-23rd/
You should try fishing like this instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=x3Bf0WhvsNk
Mike Conway's Jedward audition may be worth including
http://plus.autosport.com/free/feature/3452/mike-conway-indycar-diary/
I get it, will look out for it
True
Yep - am hoping to have some diary stuff going up tomorrow too
:)
i cant see it, but will trust you :)
Maybe you need a repeating Calender event on your phone to remind you :)
That's too bad. I will post mine,near Montreal, as I do not want to kill off my three supporting characters.
he's growing something of a hair flick...
Volunteers rarely jump into the boat
:) i normally remember.. in time.. :) normally..
How can I see it and you can't. It's just the usual driver's diarystuffbut some people may like it
Hmm, really? ;)
i refreshed and it loaded.. can i blame chrome for being silly?.
To be honest, Conway looks more like Tin Tin in this one. I gather Marco is his little puppy dog friend
Is Plus.Autosport normally the subscription stuff, cos I can see it too and didn't expect to be able to
Chrome negativity! I think that's a first ;)
Oh wow!!
I just found an SD card full of Spa pictures I haven't even seen before :O
:) awesome!
Definitely. A couple of nights ago Chrome refused to let me watch any video for hours
Better late than never
Right folks,
I'm going to disappear for a while. Back in a bit
:)
He is like Tin Tin. So Jedward is derivative of Tin Tin?
It's turning into Skynet, I knew it!
Guest post
No, Tin Tin is good
nice!
He he, are you trying to replace your lost catch?
Are Mr C & Christine on holiday then?
Probably just flash having its hourly tantrum...
Snowy?
Good to see it's not just Apple disagreeing with Flash
Apparently the Motorola Xoom tablet doesn't like it too well either
Can't wait till October for the movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983193/
8 months on and I finally found a picture of Burb. #hugesuccess :)
I haven't really seen much of it since I was a child. I just remember the space one where someone releases themselves into space to die so the others have enough air to get home. I'm not entirely sure it was meant for children....
Ooh, post it, post it
I like how the photo still keeps an element of mystery to the man known as Burb :)
Trying hard
Perfect! :D
The fastest Transit in Belgium
Burb doesn't keep his eyes on the road, the road keeps it's eyes on Burb
Looks like Norman Tebbit from behind
hehe i like how you've got photos of how wet it was when i was too scared to get my camera out.
:D
I think I may have an inkling as to how my camera may have got borked now
I brought back 3 shower caps from the hotel in Boston. Camera protection
You took pics of Beurb - access denied
Damn you Burb. Damn you.
oh I can't stay mad at him, he givesh us good deal.
Not wanting to protect your luscious locks?
No, my head is wipe clean. It'll be fine :)
Hahaha can I use a whiteboard marker?
No
Just two more as we have left the restaurant. Ping: http://sidepodcast.posterous.com/sugar-mountain
And ping: http://sidepodcast.posterous.com/cold-as-ice
Brb, off to TGI Fridays. Om nom nom.
Hello mi peeps favoritas.
Hello Kai
the silver mercedes wasn't billed for. #destiny
(mr c)
I just made rice pudding, and then had some chocolate milk. It's a little bit of a sugar day here at mi casa.
That'll be Michael saying sorry.
Hiya Kai :)
hehehehehe. and hi kai.
(hic)
Awesome.
#beenlurking
The Town was a good movie. It made me like Ben Affleck when I never have liked him at all.
And then Winnebago Man was excellent.
hehe!
although if Michael is there paying for your drinks perhaps Nico and Mika might be nearby
pointing your way...
Looks good

Evening
*does the mika dance*
Free mercedes. Can't be bad
Thank you, I was counting on that and Bassano's link to the video, I presume. :)
What's a good color for stress reduction? I'm having trouble deciding between a clean white look with color accents or warm tones....
Right, time to catch up on House with a double episode session whilst my phone loads everything again
Will this end the phone saga now? It is healed?
plaid with polka dots. Oh, wait you meant stress reduction ? Sorry., thought to want to stree the dude out!
Nope. Got another yellow one :(
Jump back between 21:30 & 22:00 for the story. I can't repeat it, it'll bring me down
Yeah, that's a bit busier than I was thinking of... :)
#sidepodspace
Not content with downgrading Pluto to confuse people there is a possibility that the same people could be about to upgrade an asteroid to being a planet.
http://www.space.com/11467-vesta-asteroid-planet-debate-dawn-spacecraft.html
Sorry. That stinks. :(
Rocket Red if you are a McLaren fan
It would not surprize me to find out that it was a Planet at one time and ripped itslef apart to from teh Asteroid belt that it is in.....
But there is a nineth planet out there. It is called "Claire", it is where the B-52's are from...
Supper beckons me! Bye everyone.
Perfectly possible
:D
Later Jordan
Doctor Who is a childrens programme, so I don't see the problem.
the love shack?
Yes, where rock lobsters originate from.
I ordered an ice cream maker and it just arrived. Thanking you, FedEx man.
Well there goes any spare space I had left in my head tonight as that will rightfully be stuck in there all night now :) *hums*
mine's a mint choc chip, thanks kai.
Ice Cream Maker! Coooool.I have an ice cream maker and it rocks!
Well, it's a fridge and when I open it it has ice cream, but still!
omg mum has one. she makes the most amazing elderflower ice cream! :)
Yum.
comin' right up. Only 18 hours to freeze the bowl thingy. And no real sugar or dairy. Other than those few minor adjustments, you'll love it.
Mine too. (rock, rock...it was a rock LOBSTER! weeee!)
You guys make the best things. Ice cream, brownies, cakes... you should open a bakery!
Not that ice cream is a bakery related thing :s
That sounds great.
Unless you open an Ice Creamery...
#dragonsden
But it should be because ice cream goes perfectly with everything in a bakery.
hehe its probably cause mum used to work in/ manage a bakery..
Great idea
you should try it, mum used to make all kindas of awesome ice cream when she first got it.
like ice cream parlours?
I will look into it. I can't have most of the stuff in the store, so I'll just make my own.
hm. This seems to be a theme in my life these days.
but this one's called ice Creamery. it;s different.
It has Cream.
...ery.
Sounds yummier and creamier.
:D
Ohh today I found out there are two types of muffins by the way which is kind of cool
There are way more than two
Like, I always thought when someone wants a muffin you get a chocolate muffin but it turns out there are bread ones too for bacon and stuff which kind of blew my mind when someone in work explained it to me, and kind of explains me confusion as to why people ask for muffins in mcdonalds sometimes.
And none left at your house, 'specially not the chocolate ones.
one step at a time :)
No chocolate muffin lasts long here
aw :)
ah yes, daily is on track for normal lou service.. late..
You just want to make Mr C happy
Just remember you're making Mr C happy :)
I mean the cocktails will help but a late daily is always welcome!
Interesting iplayer program about a couple of young karters with a little F1 interest and added Jake
Probably geolocked though
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zgy75/My_Life_Series_2_Boy_Racers/
