Hello, hello. I have returned to man the controls and the daily post duty returns to me. Thank you to everyone for our first week of fabulous guest daily posts. I think it's safe to say the experiment was a success. A greater variety of links, ideas and content, some of them even relating to F1. Good times. If anyone else wants to get involved, there's always room for more volunteers. Now, on to some things I want to share:
- Talking of how good the daily posts were, Giggles was really impressed with Lukeh's epic post yesterday and not only printed it out - he also bound it! Mr C thinks this might be the best video he's seen all year.
- We discovered yesterday that the Race of Champions will be held at Germany this year, which can only be an improvement on last year's Beijing event. We live commented the event in 2009 and weren't that impressed with all that we saw. RG also had some thoughts at the time on how it could be better. Let's keep our fingers crossed that they're listening!
- As Lukeh mentioned yesterday, I have started the second series of Life in the Fast Lane - where you, the reader, get to decide at the end of each chapter what happens next. We're on to Part Two now, and voting will stay open until I remember to close it at some point this evening. If you need a quick recap, I've got a dedicated page that should help you out.
That's all for today. Let us know what you're up to over the weekend, and as usual, I will see you in the comments.
Ping?
When did it become Saturday? Bad times.
It can't possibly be Saturday already. There must be trickery afoot
I'd love to know where that last week went.
Which makes it... 10 days till my 1st exam. Eeek.
Somehow all seems well with the world with Christine not only back in charge of the daily but taking part in a podcast.
wait, what?... yesterday i was waiting for ages for midnight.. but i didn't notice today.. how odd.
Purple socks are messing with time
true story.
i have just discovered the photography of Andrew Hone... is he very good.
http://www.andrewhone.com/portfolio/2010_f1_galleries
sounds like a future doctor who plot
Never heard of him. Add him to your list to stalk
He is begging to be stalked

According to the calendar we should be saying Happy Birthday to Alex. I believe it is a special birthday too. Hope you have a fabulous day. Natal felicitations. :)
morning all.
morning amy!
Morning
morning miss amy
and happy birthday mr alex!!
ooh yes.
Happy Birthday Alex.
Thank you for all the things you have done to entertain us all. The blind, another blind, giggles radio, the sidepodxmas party, the parade laps.
how are we all today? I am comment trawling and sitting here shocked that so many people don't like lazy-boy chairs. How can you hate comfort!
morning amy
ooh and happy birthday Alex!
How odd.
Happy birthday Alex
Happy Birthday Alex!!!
ooh she also doesn't like Eurovision. Alison and I are very much #differentperson
a short-arsed daily and she forgot a birthday? i preferred guest posts ;)
i'm alright thanks amy, how are you? hehhehehe when i read that conversation i laughed :)
i once had my own that I dragged from flat to flat but I couldn't take it on the plane soＩam awesome chairless in Australia. Bad times.
:( :( :(
this is becoming a one-sided debate.
have so many people ever agreed with nick before?
noooooo not at you!!! *hugs* i understand where you're coming from :) i just laughed at the comments, it wasn't what i expected to read when i opened up the daily :D hehehe
if Alison needs someone on her side i can try :) i can't stretch to hating leather sofas and chairs though... i loooooooove laying on our sofas when it's cold.. :D
It's okay, you were spared the bit where he came home drunk and explained some sort of Eastern European history from the world of Nick.... I'm pretty confident no-one would recognise his version of events :P
awww bad times
hehe!
:D
There's nothing wrong with lying on a sofa. It's just I like to recline lengthways not silly back and forward tipping chairs.
how can you draw if you don't have a lever?
i don't like that kinda sofa either, a chair that reclines i can understand... not a sofa though...
think of it as a bigger chair.
i want the sofa on that ad, where you pull the lever, and the other person is ejected forcefully.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzT7v4DUjSY
it doesn't make sense to me. reclining chair is comfy... but one section of the sofa reclining seems silly. I stopped my parents getting a sofa like that when i was younger... i pointed them in the direction of a lovely awesome slightly cheaper leather sofa :D
:)
You didn't video that. Why not???
I know what he gets like on existing sofa though. He's very possessive of one end of it. Goodness knows what he'd get like over a reclining chair....
Miscellaneous ramblings aren't really a notable event in my life :P
Are you sure you are on the right website? ;)
:D
I mean Nick spouting rubbish is such a regular event, I don't bother to document it :)
I feel the rest of us are missing out
ouch!
uk to nick, sell the chair, sell the chair.
Did I win?? :D
:D
who needs enemies when the g/f is that mean?
;)
i must sleep, i loves sidepodcast. fun times.
night mr c! :)
night sir.
night Mr C
I have absolutely NO idea what anyone is talking about.
Its great :D
Night Mr C
Don't ask. You aren't going to help me!
:O
Night Mr C :)
I would say thats mean.
But its so very true
Mr C thinks I'm a rubbish gf because I object to Nick buying a lazyboy.....
Whats a lazyboy? (dare I ask)
what if there's something you really want, and nick objects? you're not thinking of the bigger picture here.
Like? I already asked for a juicer and he says I can't have one even though he agreed previously.
A big reclining armchair thing. Like they had on friends. Something for your bachelor pad.....
Lazyboys are the big chair things arent they?
Not only should he get one, he should get this; http://www.zwtm.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ultimate-renegade-gaming-chair.jpg and then plug it into his Playstation/Xbox
Someone who won't do his chores although why someone would want one is beyond me
imagine a reclining chair mixed with a one arm bandit fruit machine.
Yeah see the way I look at it, a purchase like that is the fast-track to a single life :P
and neck problems in later life also
If they were doing a new Star Trek series that should be the captain's chair
Why? This sounds like a wholly usable argument beyond "I just hate it"
He could get those by falling off a motor bike or being slower than Nico Rosberg though
Or from annoying his girlfriend?
corrected ;)
:D
Imagine lying that far back but having to watch a TV that is at normal height. THe neck is bent so far forward that the chin is on the chest. A lot of F1 drivers have problems because their seating position is similar. They have trouble breathing during races as a result
Being slower than his girlfriend would be a pain in the neck
So he is trying to kill me? I have breathing issues as it is.... He already suggested a bed with bookshelves right over your head. The idea of that terrifies me!!
http://twitpic.com/1g7mam hehehehe
So if you sit up you smash your head? That doesn't seem like a good idea. I have cupboards that are at head height (standing) and I keep worrying about them. The idea of loose items sitting on a shelf and possibly being shaken off the shelf could be dangerous.
Do you think he has you insured? ;)
Hehehe
I mean a bookcase built into the headboard. I just have visions of hardbacks falling on my head as I sleep....
Not being nice to another driver on track. I am shocked that has ever happened.
That's what I thought. Surely there are better places for a bookcase
(cue eastender doof doofs)
I said I didn't mind the kind with a pillar of shelves on both sides but no books/ornaments/whatever over my head please....
You'd never put a standalone bookcase against the wall behind your bed, why would it be any better built in..... He said this one was cheaper, but I'd say missing out the reclining chair would let you buy a non-lethal bed. :P
what about a ceiling?
Quick plug, since I had nowt better to do at 1am: http://tripleleagueracing.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/life-is-a-rollercoaster/
Don't set off my ceiling collapse fears?? (It's not paranoia, the ceiling has come down 3 times in my parents' house....)
omg! that sounds horrific!!! i'm totally on your side. i'm not sleeping with anything like a shelf over my head!
Kill the witch
i once got woken up by posters falling on my face. couldnt work out what was happening
not fun
i've had a frame fall on me and cut my head once, that wasn't fun either, a whole shelf would be awful!
I has quite a few trophies above me. Really don't want a shelf to fail on me.
i blame ralf *runs, very fast*
Why woud anyone put anything above their head in bed? Crazy people. Hopefully no-one has a dart board above their bed
ralf isn't on my wall, i just have a poster of him
I had a spider fall on me as I was dosing off.... I was flapping the covers around for about 40 minutes before I was convinced it wasn't in my bed anymore
#sorrylou
That's Nick for you.... Except it isn't just his head :(
i woke up to see one dangling over me once, then couldn't find it. i slept in the spare room for 2 nights. :( i know that feeling :(
I woke up with a spider walking across my face once.
have a set of xmas lights, disguised as arty. been there 4 years, not moved once
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Times like that I woulda screamed
It was off by the time i worked out what was going on
Eurgh!!! This one fell on me with its legs all curled up. Somehow I knew instantly what it was though....
my wife once woke imagining there was a spider on the wall, behind a poster. it wasn't. cue mickey taking for months after.
Why are spiders attracted to your face? Why cant they jump on your feet?
Best eek of the year
eeeekkkkkk!!!! stop talking about spiders falling on you when your asleep!! i have to go to bed now! :( i'm not gonna be able to sleep.....
really?. is that cause the eeeeekkk from the JB snr and jnr aren't counted? :P
Sorry. I am genuinely more worried about F1 encyclopaedias crushing me right now.....
couldn't they do some serious damage? :(
i had a spider run up my leg years ago. due to the speed of it's path towards my torso, i panicked and thrashed about. never saw it after that. had it been considerably slower, i wouldn't have acted like an extra from breakdance the movie
okay i have to sleep now, i'm up early (gah!) so i needs my beauty sleep, night all!! xx
p.s if i can't sleep i'm going to blame you all! :P
I should think so.... Things should not hover over your head while you sleep.... EVER
night lou
Night Lou.
Don't let the spiders get you. Or heavy books
night lou and im going as well, less sleep, more football manager, but still, nigth and lotsa love.
Night Lou, think about Jenson
Night RG. Looks like a shift change
night RG, i'm clocking off too, night all.
Morning everyone :)
Hi there....
Just been voting in Episode 2....
I am not sure why I was so late to the party the first time round... perhaps Christine didn't advertise it enough... it's a brill idea...
Morning, turns out I didn't need to be up so early :( being up at 8:27 isn't right for a weekend.
for some reason I woke up at 5am must have been too excited ;)
hehehe we said happy birthday earlier in the comments but happy birthday :) have you for much planned for today?
well I've only just put two and two together and realised that I might be going somewhere not that far from you... You're near Ashford somewhere right? We're staying the night in some small village called Charing. At a place where my friend runs the restaurant.
Yeah i'm like... 5 mins from the outside of Ashford :) pretty close to Charing actually, like 15mins away. Charing is awesome! :D yay for you coming to Kent :D The only restaurant that i know in Charing is the absolutely amazing Indian curry house though....
hehehehe i found a picture of the new f1 photographer i discovered yesterday :D
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=209698&id=108618129164754
Kent meet?
We're at The Oak which is a pub but also a bed and breakfast and restaurant.
i'm stranded in my house today :( mum has gone to Dover to see my nan, and Dad's gone to play golf.. i've not idea when they'll be around. grr at not being able to drive yet. lol if you're driving down you're welcome to stop by for a cup of tea though! :)
ahhh cool. i'm not sure i've been there, but have probably passed it thousands of times on the way to a friends house. i hope you have a lovely time :D
i say if you're driving cause... well.. it's impossible to get to my house from Ashford train station without a car.. :)
no were on the train I'm afraid. We will be going on a walk after lunch but a 15 minute drive sounds like a couple of hours walk. So sounds a bit unlikely.
Better luck next time!
yeah.. it's a bit of a long walk lol ooo take some pics on your walk :) Charing is very pretty :)
today I learned the market by my house sells ducklings for $8 #confidentialfromalison
oooo!!!
Oh! Happy Birthday Alex !!!
#aprilbirthdaysarebest
I did consider it but I don't want them to grow up into a duck. #notcuteanymore
:o but ducks are awesome. Either that or you can buy them as ducklings and then sell them when they get older for $10... then you make a profit ;)
oooh, sidepodbusiness?
yeah!! :D
Preparing to leave the house checklist:
1) pack clothes and stuff
2) register new domain name for idea
3) charge backup batteries and iPhone
4) pack headphones x 2
5) pack iPhones x 2 and battery and charger
6) check Katherine has her iPhone too
it's complicated this business.
3 iphones?
2 things to remember;
1. this is alex we're talking about
2. it's his birthday, he can do what he wants :D
Happy Birthday Mr Giggles
Thats true.
Is this Giggles day then?
:D
a new domain name?!! ooooo!!!!! and i had no idea you could have back up batteries for an iphone?..
you forgot to pack a camera...:D
yes! that sounds awesome, 24th April shall now be known as Giggles day :)
good point!
it's like an external battery you plug in.
Katherine is in charge of that. I don't have to check that either :)
oooo!! that's good :)
ahhhh cool!! :D
it would be really nice if my teacher could email me and say he got all of my work... just so i can stop worrying that i might be in trouble on monday.
Poor teacher is allowed a weekend you know :P
he wanted it in for this morning so he could mark them all... his choice lol i just wanna know he got it :) he said he'd check his email... lol
We are arriving in Charing now.
*waves at lou*
*waves to Kat and Alex* this is very exciting...:)
*waves to the three of you even though I'm 130 miles away*
Well I've justmet up withmy friend. I think I haven't seen him in 9 years and he didn't know I was coming so that was fun :)
Afternoon all.
I'm missing a Sidepodadventure?
morning.
me too :(
Hi, and sorry to break your spirit, but it's definitely afternoon.
not in my head
Plus it is always morning somewhere.
That's the ticket! :D
See, you've now put that song "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" in my head. :P
:) you've picked the perfect weekend to come down to Kent, it's awesome
invite is open for you to come to mine... but i feel that it might be a long drive from rockall :(
Personal blog ping: http://smarterthanyouraverage.com/2010/04/24/a-lost-app-please/
hehe that sounds like a good idea. I've never watched lost, and don't really know what it's about, but loosing a character must be mighty annoying.
Andrew Hone really knows how to give someone lens envy..
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=209867&id=108618129164754
want!
hehe me too! did you see the link i posted earlier to his site?
http://www.andrewhone.com/portfolio/2010_f1_galleries
i dont think he's a permanent f1 photographer...yet
i like that he hasn't watermarked them
me too :) its a shame Darren and co do :( but necessary i suppose.
Guys, I'm disappointed. I go out to walk the dog and my comment's still on the page. :D
Afternoon everyone.
:)
Am uploading pictures and video to my Flickr from Kent
yay! :)

Happy birthday Alex :)
hehe i recognise the windmill :) yay for me knowing Kent better than London :)
Tis a lovely day for eating outside :) Enjoyed it?
So he is trying to kill me? I have breathing issues as it is.... He already suggested a bed with bookshelves right over your head. The idea of that terrifies me!! {Comment #80}
Bookshelves should be over the feet if they're going to be part of the bed furnishings (I have a bookshelf at the end of my bed and the arrangement works well, especially if the bed is long enough)...
http://twitpic.com/1g7mam hehehehe
Not being nice to another driver on track. I am shocked that has ever happened. {Comment #84}
Could someone please give Mr Schumacher a copy of 1990s/early 2000s F1 history? This may enlighten him as to how come Lewis drives like that...
hehehe i love seeing racing drivers tweet each other :D
Hey, all, hit and run post from me today. Just saw something a couple nights ago that I thought you'd all appreciate.
Having a baby in the house now, we spend a lot of time with the TV on the kids cartoon channel. A show I'd never seen before was on in the background the other night, called Rubbadubbers. The characters were all lining up for a foot race, and talking to each other, I wasn't paying any attention. Suddenly, I noticed the bassline of the music playing in the background. Dum...da da dah da da da da da dummmmmm..... Over and over again. It was THE CHAIN! I had to stand and watch for about a minute just to make sure, and there was no mistaking it. Holy crap, what a subtle joke.
Anyway, I thought you might get as much of a kick out of that as I did. Happy Saturday, everybody. Enjoy!
Why woud anyone put anything above their head in bed? Crazy people. Hopefully no-one has a dart board above their bed {Comment #98}
I have an entire bunk over my head. Which is fine except when I've only had 5 hours of sleep due to spending half the night writing a long and somewhat complicated forum post (in which case the Spidepodcast wiki's Sporting Injuries section lists the consequences (look for my comment in 2009)).

What happened?
JB tweeted Andy Priaulx wishing him good luck for tomorrow :) hehe it just amused me.

That's good of him :)
So Jessica just replied to my tweets twice... i may have eeeked.. abit.
Wow!
i wasn't even asking her a question.. i just said...
'i love that @the_real_jb and @jessybondgirl are like the triathalon couple :) so sweet'
I'm enjoying that famous people reply :)
was absolutely gorgeous
Happy birthday Giggles!
I went to dad's for a cup of tea and he's having an impromptu bbq.
I sent Christine an email but perhaps i ought to have proofread when not wine-affected, hope it is ok, can change later.
right, see you later
All received. Will look over shortly.
evening all.
*waves*
thanks, will be home in a couple of hours can alter it then!
Hello, Lukeh!
hey mate.
Everyone alright?
yep! i had a mini convo with Jessica.. she replied 3 times..
someone should take twitter away from me, it's way too exciting with famous people reply
Ooooh, awesome.
Everyone alright? {Comment #206}
I am, thank you. I've had a nice quiet day.
Nascar 0 - Rain 1
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83130
No blinking for the next 45 minutes then.
Ahh! I forgot that was on!
Yaaaaaaaay for Doctor Who!
iPlayer again by the looks of it.
I love this Doctor Who music.
I am definitely buying this series soundtrack.
oh. goodness.
#isnotwatching
#willwaitforthereviews
hmpf!
Really? You should start watching and then stop if you don't like it.
i love the idea of the angels, they just freak me out alot. i may put it on in the background...
nonono! dont turn your back to them!!
Hehehe. We're trying to encourage her!
Spoilers!
I love it so much, he totally works as the Doctor Who!
i swear spc is trying to give me nightmares *shudders at the idea of spiders falling on her*
ooo! riversong! i like her, it might be worth watching..
It;s like 2 of stephen moffat's in rpevious series' best episodes coming together
He saluted!
corrected!
Mrs Doctor!
And I liked that little answer swerve there :D
haha!
this new assistant is actually awesome. Better than Matt Smith imo...
I do love her, she is awesome
#sorryabi
#realisesnooneactuallyknowswhoabiis
Your girlfriend?
ya
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!
WOAH. Mind = Blown
River Song has my tardis book!! She stole my idea!!!
i'm not watching doctor who, but can overhear it.
i'm quite scared.
me too
AMY DONT BLINK!
okay... eeeekkk!
I'll put my headphones in.
Evening,
Spent the day dismantling a wardrobe, moving it and some cupboards to my Grandmas and shifting two couches. Then after that I spent a good couple of hours bringing down all my stuff from the loft ... basically all junk that we were too lazy to throw out. It took too long because the stairs are so dangerous that I couldn't carry that much down them...
Add to that I have a bad case of the flu so I was super knackered after all that, so I then slept for three hours!
(I'm doing all this in preparation for our moving house at the end of the week)
I like how the Doctor orders hugs for others
'River... hug amy'
'why?'
'cause i'm busy'
hehehe
I approve!
phew!
OK the sand freaked me out a bit
oh no!
i love my mum. she asked me why i was watching dr who if i didn't like the angels, gave me a cup of tea and suggested i paint my nails or something to distract me from the evil stone monsters :D
oooh no! get well soon!
Aye, shame bout that Gavin. :( Get well soon mate!
Thanks, I feel a lot better after the sleep and I have some medication, so I think I'll manage.
Tomorrow is "Landfill Day" which should be a little easier...
you forgot it was on last week, when it was scary.
naaah, daleks aren't too scary, these freak me out because they're so unknown
*wasn't, rather
ah. that makes sense :D
last week's wasn't that scary.... it's just the stone angels i hate...
the best kind of typo :)
ah fair enough.. tbh i forgot it was on this week too... it's the comments that remind me...
Hehehehe. Yep, yep yep yep yep. Shut up. :)
Angel Bob.
Have you got space teeth? :D:D
"I'm not that clingy!" :)
NOOOOOO!
Grrr, silly 2 parters
i have to watch another episode with them!! oh good.
i do like the 'that's extremely not very good' though :D
That was fantastic and quite terrofying, as does look next weeks :D
I feel left out. I've missed ALL the new Dr Who episodes.
Curse you no-TV-signal!
Weird that then he's telling her not to open her eyes. Quite the opposite.
Woohoo!! Confidential opens with Muse :D
Aww, but you've got them all still to watch. Awesome!
Let me introduce you to Mr iPlayer
Mr iPlayer and I have met, unfortunately he is not allowed to be let out of his cage very often due to the dire internet connection we share in the house. I WANT MY OWN LINE DAMMIT!
:)
I hope the BBC keep the series on iPlayer at least until the last episode. I feel a Dr Who marathon coming on!
Ahh!! This episode was referenced in Silence of the Library!
Hence why (where's that spoiler tag gone?)
And just FYI - I did see all of 5 minutes of it whilst looking at photos of me YEARS ago. Lots of "aww bless" moments.
On Confidential, regarding recording the video game, when Amy said she wanted to meet John lennon the Doctor said "Ringo? Why doesn't anyone want to meet Ringo?"
#blamemrc
anyone fancy some new sidepodcode?
(tis only a tiny update)
Go for it!
Good evening, I'm home now.
Dr Who PING!! - http://wibblywobbly.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/the-time-of-angels-angel-bob/
on every page except for doohickey and lclt (because they're a bit behind), we has a new button at the top of the page "more". click it to reveal the navigation that used to sit at the bottom of the page.
also in there is a link to the new contents page: http://sidepodcast.com/contents/
which basically is a long list of posts.
o
ooh, awesome! I like dropping down things :)
Hello! New episode of Los Minidrivers for Shanghai is out. Button with a shotgun is just too funny :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6dHojLfYg0
oooo that's very cool. i like the change in font too. :)
Yay!
I thought I might wait until the end of the two-parter before doing mine.
ahh good. might do the same to the headers
It was quite hard to asses the story without knowing the full thing, to be honest. Still found stuff too discuss though :)
Ooh it is a new font then! I was wondering if my browser was going mad like it does on AUTOSPORT (the entire site changes font for me on articles) but I do like the new font too :)
yay :D
Ooh I missed it, will get a cup of tea and watch on iPlayer, back soon
I think I preferred the older font. But its a decent little replacement I spose. The more button is pretty neat though, I likes it, very stylish.
Hey folks,
What goes on?
Hi leigh, not too much. Am quite shattered.
Bit tired myself - got a lot done today.
Going to relax tonight, listen to some music and catch up on some F3 from the last few weeks
it makes it easier to line stuff up. in this case, the triangle thing.
Noice!
I've heard that Mr C is amazing so I came to find out why
:)
I've heard that Mr C powers up the nation's electrical grid all by himself
I heard his Mac was so powerful that it powers the national grid, and thats why he can't use capitals, because in exchange for endless electricity they took his shift key.
Steve Jobs saw this and now no macs have shift keys.
#jonfacts
I heard Ted Kravitz only travels around the world to spread the name of Mr C
That was rather good :)
I heard those episodes of Doctor Who with the master where Martha travels round the world to make everyone say 'Doctor' were based on Ted and his travels.
It was. wasn't it? :)
:)
for lukeh: http://twitpic.com/1i505z
wow! i'm not lukeh but that's awesome :)
ohh myyyyyy gooddneesss
we figured no-one ever photoshopped anything for lukeh.
it is amazing!!!! :D:D
Would it be cheeky/impossible of me to ask for a 1280x800 version...?
umm, it was made at 720x405. but there are many more tutorials to follow (we is learning), so the next one shall be :)
awwwww! that's very true. he does get his daily post bound though ;)
...speaking of photoshop... i might get to play on the new one soon....
how?
Okies, no worries :) doesn't detract from the sheer awesomeness that it is. *saves for future reference* :D
:O
one of mum's friends has a copy of it, and she's coming up for dinner next week. She said she'd try remember to bring her laptop with her...
sooooooooooo not jealous! :)
it's not out until may... is it?
she knows a few of the awesome people who develop photoshop though.. she tends to always snatch a copy of any updates a little early..
wow!
Woah! Awesome!
she got the entire suite last time... didn't pay a penny.. she just treated her friends to a very nice meal somewhere as a thank you. this lady is very lucky lol
Rumour has it, Ted and Mr C might be one and the same person.
#tedkravitzfacts
See, that should be a currency method of paying for software. Dinner for the developers.
explains an awful, awful lot!! i can see how the C was exchanged for a K to confuse us
ahh so it's not a C as in a letter, its the sound instead! Mr *sound* C*sound* so we didnt realise! it all makes sense!
Right, that's it. Who broke Facebook?!
Mr C also took lessons from this educational film made by Monty Python
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25pXhpExG08
Facebook did :)
best.sketch.ever
:D
No, I don't think so. I think Ted Kravitz did when he was told he might be Mr C. #tedkravitzfacts

i guess it beats fighting a volcano to get home?

I could not imagine Christine getting away with producing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0C59pI_ypQ
I could totally imagine this being Mr C though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyKF2qd0-iQ
:D hehe they're always going on holiday, it's so not fair.
i love that she's doing the london tri now :D
hahah from that to the London tri, she's going to freeeeeeeeze
and look nicely rediculous in a tri wetsuit.
everyone looks rediculous in a tri wetsuit, i own one and they're...well...quite tight....
hehehehe she appears to have been training for a while. am going to have to go this year and support her, Jenson, Vernon Kay and anyone else JB has got to do the tri :D lol
in this yes
the London tri is in the thames.
coooold
yeah i know... she's been training with JB too... not just there lol.She'll be fine :D
Have i mentioned Jessica might be one of my new favourite people? :)
you may have mensioned it yes ;)
:D
I dunno about that. JB's British, and not only that has a smile in the most appalling conditions. I'd be interested to see how well she does. I can't swim well enough to save my granny's life.
Jon, presumably your "National B" status means you gained a racing license recently?
Swimming in open water is completely different to in a pool, she's clearly done the open water bit, but diving into the thames will give her a shock she's never had before!
she's not doing the olympic distance and i'm sure she'll have done enough training by then to cope okay.
aaah yeah :D
Well done sir! :D
thank ye :)
So what's everyone up to this evening?
Writing about being the next Lewis Hamilton*
*with less weaving
edit joe. yourself?
Have been listening to music but good old match of the day now :)
Oh and
#sorryRG
Sitting in. Catching up on the last issue of GP+, watching F3 thereafter and updating the blog later on. Got a big new post coming up
:D
You need to buy a yellow helmet, put that in.
That the oulton round?
Was good if i remember correctly, Mr Haven does make me laugh.
trying to find something to do.. i'm kinda bored this evening..
I sorta expected it. We got more points than expected out of the last three games than I expected. Plus Man city drew, so still happy-ish.
Needless to say I ain't watching MoTD, but am watching Russell Howard
I'm not completely sure. I was going to watch a film but after Dr Who and HIGNFY I need a break from tellystuff for a bit.
Yawning. Pondering a good early bed time. But with Sidepodcasters, that could be a while as yet.
Me too
Yep - watching the EuroSeries Round 1 last week - hard to keep interested in 13 cars to be honest
Racing is a good plan, maybe I'll watch something
I never like beating Spurs, I do like them admittedly. But 6 points out of a possible 9 considering the 3 teams you faced is an awesome achievement.
I don't know, I think the skill of making fabric might come in handy for the next generation of racing driver...
Oh yeah. We sort of handed it to you lot really. Time to mess it up against Bolton now :)
indeed, but first i need to convince my girlfriend that this sign is purely for insurance reasons and not because it actually is dangerous
:D
Do you weave nomex?
oh and I'm looking at the thing I sent Christine because a blogger is never happy and I'm convinced there's something missing, just can't think what it is :)
The key word in that is "can". That's the get-out clause.
She's not so convinced.
Another good'un by Sir Stingling...
http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/15237.html
It is actually dangerous. Moderately. But if you know what you're doing it is fine and the risks are acceptable.
Pat, we can give you contributor rights to log in and submit the post via wordpress rather than email if that would help.
ooh, yay!
Coming up at the next race, we have Vitaly Petrov trying his hand at stitching nylon, Felipe Massa knits a fuel rig, and Jenson Button makes nylon by cheating.
Well, yes and no, it is dangerous but in British motorsport the chances of gaining a serious injury or even a minor one are rare.
Fishing is officially more dangerous than Motorsport
#jonfact
#joefactnotajonfact
Nope, it's actually an #allandeanlewisfact, although id be surprised if people know who he is
I have seen too many hashtags this evening for my liking :)
ha!
#lukehhashtag
Although I do still maintain that most people die from boredom, not galoshes.
#tmfact
Ta :) I'm just a nitpick when it comes to my own blog posts, always fettling with it, I'm probably just worrying too much.
Nooooooooooooo
:-D
No probs. Will email across.
#lukehhappyhashtag or #lukehunhappyhashtag ?
Straight from the MSA actuaallyyy
Since we are talking about blogs: http://tripleleagueracing.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/life-is-a-rollercoaster/
#replug
I don't mind really, as long as it's not the stupid hashtag that has filled my twitter feed this evening ;)
possibly, but you heard it on the aside podcast in november. didn't you!
;)
also, that makes it an MSA fact.
Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta riiiiddee!! hey baabbyy!!
RG!!
ummm.
yes,
sir
#potentially
Balls.
Sorry, was replying to Lukeh.
First name: Ed.
I so wasn't listening to that at the time.
Since Thursday it has all been #nickclegg'sfault
Thanks, sorry if I'm being a pain
BRB, I need to find my sanity. I think I left it downstairs along with my logic box.
My feed has been very similar to this for a few hours (warning - image has strong language). It's quite annoying
you could just close the browser.
Tweetdeck?
Ahh cheesecake is good :)
also has a quit option
Or the unfollow button also works
I find just LOOKING AWAY solves most of the problem.
I don't trust myself with just quitting. I actually uninstalled tweetdeck to stop me using it.
I had an entire tub of Haagen-Dazs to myself. It tasted good. :D
hehe
Sounds good too :)
right after the amount I would tweet plummeted.
i'm really sad, there is actually nothing for me to do :s... i could revise... but it's waaay too late for any of the information to stick in my head.. :(
I'm sure you can find something to do! Why not write a post on your blog?
I'm looking at demotivational posters here: http://ipostr.com/random.php
guestpostguestpost
*no idea what about mind you
ORRR you could write the daily for tomorrow? I was just about to but would happily hand over the baton.
ooh yay!
#wewantlou
#wewantlou
#wewantlou
What that guy said.
i don't really have anything to write about.. i haven't taken pictures for a bit.. i sent of my media accreditation form and things today for next week *hopes*
okay.
#woop
...
...
...
really? YAY!
don't blame me if it's late though :)
Hehe, lemme get you some login details, and you can write it directly.
yeah, i have absolutely nothing else to do.. and i said i'd help out with the dailys. Unless Christine really wants to write it?..
ooo that's kinda scary lol
Nah. Like I tells everyone, you cannot break it anymore than Mr C already has :)
it scares me that i can post what i want now ;)
The last thing I remember Mr C breaking was his episode with the door at the Evening with Joe.
I was learning a lot of code last Sunday night.
haha :)
i've well and trully broken the backend of the site, it's just that most people don't get to see the mess i made.
it's on the list though.
:)
You absolutely can. We trust ya.
Also... we can delete what we want too :)
You kinda drew the short straw because with each person I was finding new things that I'd forgotten to mention :)
I don't think you can. Nothing EVER gets forgotten by the internet.....
Also true.
hehe :D
really, oh dear...
*looks at blog post saying the Piquet's were behind the Singapore 2008 crash*
Those exceprt boxes eh. Yeah, it was good anyway, and I know of what to do for Monday.
Hooray for Print-Screen!
tell me about it!
also google reader :)
doesn't track changes though. if you update a post, the history is gone, right?
hello sidepodpeople...
and a happy birthday to Alex!
hey chap
I don't know, I've seen posts which have things like "Update: Something has happened" on my reader.
What it does do is keep deleted posts ;)
Heyyy guille, how is it going?
agreed. always best to overwrite, not delete.
unless like me you blog without thinking and say things you really shouldn't ;)
anyone know if Alex is in Kent all day tomorrow?
I'm having a very long weekend moving house. Other than that, very good
he's doing a radio show
thank you :)
it happens. you didn't say anything libellous, you backed the wrong horse.
i did the same if it helps.
And how's everything here. I've been a little bit busy in the week, but read all the new 'guest dailys', very interesting mix :-)
Hi Guille
Christine, I think I'm done freaking out now, ta again :)
Hehe, thank you for the post!
I still wish my version was true. would have been rather nice :D
Hehe...
Just had HIGNFY on - good stuff as always
:D
No problem!
Ah no, DC is starting practically last.... still, hope there is a live stream
Evening all
Hi
Happens to them all when they start, he'll be up there with the likes of Ralf in a few races ;)
Hey Steven
Evening Steven
christine, just noticed that the super-duper calendar still shows F1 minute scheduled for every day...
hi steven
Ah, yes, I should look at that.
A slight criticism of James Allen's site - is asking a predominantly readership on his site whether or not McLaren will win the Championship a bit like shooting a fish in a barrel?? The majority have quite obviously said "yes"...
"british"?
and i agree :)
sir
Yes, once again I left out the key word there....
He's already there!
Ralf 16th
DC 17th
out of 18 cars
He has a 2008 car so you can't expect too much plus he always was a lousy qualifier
hehe i know, bless him, ralf is quite rubbish
michael-esque
Ralf's car is a year newer than DC's
:D
No doubt it has been mentioned already but it looks like we are in for some good sportscar racing at the end of the season
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83122
Something Moss wrote in his article earlier was absolutely spot on though - Michael never seems that bothered when he's being interviewed.
...and it's true. The sternness you used to see in interviews - whether pre or post race - is completely gone, only to be replaced with a strange slightly interested shrug and squeezed facial expression.
I'm really quite tempted to go to Silverstone now Peugeot and Audi have commited to it. Trouble is, same day as the Italian GP and very near to the big spend at Spa...
He has been odd since he came back. Before he wouldn't talk to anyone but RTL and RAI
F1 needs to set its calendar earlier so others can organise round it
anybody else noticed this: http://touch.facebook.com
?
I'm not sure the ACO cares when F1 races are on anyway...
Infact I would be surprised if they cared at all
They have always been a law unto themselves but if they want to have a proper world championship again now that Max can't screw it up they have to be a bit more sensible
I won't lie. I came very close to trying to touch my screen ;)
I left my book at work :( :(
Not impressed!
a book? made of paper?
If you had a bookcase above your bed you would have something else convenient to read
:D
Ah I saw something advertised earlier - Channel 4 are doing some sort of Masterchef clone called Iron Chef UK. You may or may not be interested..
Seeing as there's no genuine masterchef, that would be a yes :D
:)
Yes. A story book. I was enjoying it so much I took it to work and now I don't have it now because I forgot to bring it home :(
I don't think ebooks are practical for me right now. I don't like reading block text on a screen very much. I would do a kindle or something but it's a tad expensive for me atm.
I saw a woman with a kindle on the train the other day, I think she thought I was staring at her, when in fact I was looking at her Kindle!
Here's a wierd story for you all....
Someone I went to school with is now engaged....
To his friends Mum.
EURGH!
Thinking about it, I doubt the book I'm reading is even available for kindle :(
I am rather confused
How incredibly uneasy
That would definitely be an issue for me, the books i read are quite specialist so they wouldnt be on it straight away
There's a plot for a soap in there.
Nick bought it for me to keep me occupied while he went to talk to the bank lady but I kinda like it. I made him buy me the next one. It is an odd book though. It's about dragons.
It shouldn't happen in real life though. It's just hideous. How is that ever going to work out.... It must be so embarrassing....
It's either his friends mum or sister, but she looks like his mum. It's very wierd
"specialist", eh
I knew that was coming.
I knew it!
They're either Motorsport ones or Christian books, neither which I guess are on the top of the list that are going to get done first!
Sometimes the oddest relationships work
Good thing it's after midnight....
I'm sure more popular stuff like some of James Allen's would get released on them fairly quick.
oh yeah im sure, but some of the less well known ones are the ones i read, more about the inner workings of the industry etc
That last one wasn't even available in most book shops....
Yeah but it depends how your family feel about it. Families can be a right nuisance if they want to be....
Don't they approve of Nick?
you'd have to assume all is well though. if jon knows about it, it isn't a secret.
:D
The less said about that the better :D
how can anyone think that putting a single electric socket in the place where you should put both the fridge and the washing machine in a house is a good idea? :-(
well it was on facebook, but not necessarily, sometimes people do stuff inspite of what their families say.
you can tell us.
#confidentialfromnick
old house?
go oooon, goo oooooon
one year old, if you believe the owners...
Erm my parents don't have a lot of good things to say about me dating someone who lives 5000 miles away. Wednesday's fiasco probably didn't help matters any.... It's not a big deal, they've not met and had arguments or anything :P
They haven't met at all have they?
No no
They haven't met him and they don't like him already. ;)
nick's a very nice person, in person.
it's behind a keyboard that the problems start ;)
True story!!
Right you lovely people, a lovely post/article (particle?) for your delectation.
http://www.feederseries.net/?p=847
Welcome to the wonderful world of how to start racing :)
ace!
The West Wing is not hitting the spot.... I want my book :(
:-o
we'll make one up for you.
there once was a dragon named bernie....
Excelllent
and the princess was in a tower, which was grey with a dash of turquoise? I bet her name was Goldilocks... ;-)
He might remember the Napoleonic war I guess.....
He does. Napoleon was Jean-Marie Balestre
apologies for the delay (i may have got carried away)... but daily has been sent..
w0000t!
*prays she didn't break anything*
hehe. christine went to get crisps, am sure she'll say it's fine in just a few mins.
hehe
That is the proper time to send a daily in. None of this finishing it in the afternoon nonsense :)
seconded
i would have written it in the afternoon if i had known... :)
I can promise to do my usual wait to the last possible moment to do anything.
We couldn't have known you would be bored :)
Love it.
