Merry Sidepodchristmas

Merry Sidepodchristmas

Hello and Merry Christmas! It's the 25th December, and I think we are safe now, there should be no F1 news today. Instead, it's all about chocolate, mince pies, and tracking Santa. Still, there are a couple of things we've noticed on our travels around the web, and we'd like to share them with you:

  • Lukeh made a rather good Christmas postcard for everyone who frequents Sidepodcast. Good ol' Rubens makes an appearance, and we would like to wish happy holidays along with Mr Barrichello.
  • RG has written some festive greetings from both himself and on behalf of Timo Glock. There is some photoshopping going on over there, but the writing is much more important - he's got some good plans for next year, so I'll be staying subscribed. I hope you will too.
  • SLVAaron is making some Red Bull muffins for Christmas, and it seems as though he is using the Sidepodradio instructions to help him along the way. I hope he's not taking tips from Mr C.
  • It is the last day of Giggles Advent and it's bound to be a good video from Alex. While you're there, relive the entire 25 days, because they're all fabulous.

That's all for now. It's probably a busy day all round, but we'll be about so if you want to let us know what you're up to, if you're eating turkey, or what presents you have received, we're all ears.

    I refuse to open them until I've slept. It'd be like opening Christmas presents now = just wrong!

  • Alex Andronov25/12/2009 at 00:05

    ...until next year.

    and later today when I plug it again :)

    Although a fairly hefty chunk of northern europe has opened their presents this evening...

    (Not here, We haven't even wrapped anything yet, and the stockings are, um, missing....)

  • Andy Taylor25/12/2009 at 00:09

    (Not here, We haven't even wrapped anything yet, and the stockings are, um, missing....)

    Luckily for us we have a family of skeptics.

  • Alison25/12/2009 at 00:14

    (Not here, We haven't even wrapped anything yet, and the stockings are, um, missing....)

    I'm glad to hear it! I gave up on wrapping earlier on. It was making me grumpy. I still have a fair bit to do. Plus I seem to have "volunteered myself" to get a fair amount of my sister's done now too.

    but there are questions about nascar and moto gp... :(

  • Andy Taylor25/12/2009 at 00:27

    Plus no prizes, so rather pointless unless you want to brag about your encyclopaedic knowledge in an adenoidal whine.

  • me25/12/2009 at 00:27

    it's traditional.

  • Andy Taylor25/12/2009 at 00:28

    I can hear that said in an adenoidal voice too. ;)

  • me25/12/2009 at 00:28

    also optional ;)

    Blimey. Didn't realise it was all about material gain.

  • Andy Taylor25/12/2009 at 00:29

    I wasn't referring to you, Mr C.

  • Andy Taylor25/12/2009 at 00:31

    Blimey. Didn't realise it was all about material gain.

    Hehe. I just don't see the point of looking up answers to questions I have no interest in whatsoever. Perhaps if they did separate quizzes for each Formula I'd be more inclined.

  • Christine25/12/2009 at 00:32

    Hehe. I just don't see the point of looking up answers to questions I have no interest in whatsoever. Perhaps if they did separate quizzes for each Formula I'd be more inclined.

    Yea, but without prizes, just as pointless, I'd guess.

    heheh that was strangely fun.. 25/30 for the f1 section so that's not too bad... rrrrrrrubish on the other sections though :D

    I've just done the QI quiz in the Radio Times. No prizes there either.

  • Jon Waldock25/12/2009 at 00:39

    whoever made up number 39s answers has clearly been drinking

  • Jon Waldock25/12/2009 at 00:46

    You scored 51/101 (50.50%).

    F1 only: 20/30 (66.67%).

    Non-F1: 31/71 (43.66%).

    That's not too bad. Most fans did as well as you...

  • me25/12/2009 at 00:46

    17/30 for f1

    15/71 non f1

  • Jon Waldock25/12/2009 at 00:50

    That was rather hard. Boo for hard quiz'z

    the beach smells funny because there is some sort of rotting seafood washed up on it, but thats ok. our neighbours found some buried whale bones so we are about to go and explore them because the bones we saw them with looked pretty interesting.

  • Journeyer25/12/2009 at 02:07

    Morning, folks. Just came back from Mass. :)

    Last night was fantastic! Although, I must say, it probably says something about my hobby and the available gifts for my hobby that I got the following last night:

    1 Ferrari collared shirt (red)

    1 Ferrari tee (red with white piping)

    1 Ferrari tee (white with red piping)

    :D

    Gift of the night, though, was that Britney Spears greatest hits collection for my sister. We were dancing to it aaaaaaall night long. :D

    it wasn't like that, and if were an issue we would've said.

    even better :)

    i think, that if all we talked about was f1, we'd go quite crazy, quite quickly. variety is good.

    As Christine would say, that's what the daily is for.

    Especially true in a year where we had the FOTA breakaway attempt, and Schumi tried to come back twice!

  • Alison25/12/2009 at 02:35

    :D And you're going to Spa, too.

    I might ACTUALLY see Michael Shumacher rather than just have my dad pretend it's him to shut me up :P

    the "daily" may well be the girls bestest ever idea. i don't know where it came from, i don't know how she keeps it up. i've never seen the idea on another site, but i'm glad we have it.

  • Journeyer25/12/2009 at 02:37

    I might ACTUALLY see Michael Shumacher rather than just have my dad pretend it's him to shut me up :P

    Speaking of which, I FINALLY managed to contact Shanghai. There's a funny story about that call (which I'm reserving in case I blog about this). But the gist of it is that they confirmed tickets do not go on sale until next week, and they'll let me know when it does. :D

    I think I've come a long way from only knowing the name of one driver that wasn't even driving anymore. It's been a funny old year...

    This btw wasn't me saying I was coming to Spa. I currently can't afford to pay for anything. I did however bankrupt myself paying an excessive amount renewing my car insurance.

  • Journeyer25/12/2009 at 02:46

    Understatement of the year for you, I think. A funny old year, indeed. ;)

    not yet ;) just travelling around today trying to find commonwealth style Xmas things. I had to explain what custard was today...

    Tomorrow I'll be with some expats - aussies and kiwis. Should be fun and relaxing.

  • The Boston Red Scott25/12/2009 at 02:55

    I was watching in the line of fire earlier, the Clint Eastwood film. I'm half convinced John hodgman (aka pc guy in the mac ads, and numerous other things) did the voice over of a radio announcer in the first 15 minutes. If that's not a totally random post I don't know what is....now when does Santa arrive?

  • Journeyer25/12/2009 at 02:55

    AUTOSPORT results: 25/30 for F1 + 35/71 for non-F1 = 60/101 overall.

    Not bad. :)

    I mostly sucked at the national categories (British F3, BTCC) because we get precious little coverage of those here. But I did better on those where we get better coverage here (F1, MotoGP, NASCAR, WRC, WTCC)

    needs more lamb. We had roast hogget and my brother was explaining how old it needs to be to be called lamb, hogget or mutton and I asked how old it needs to be before it can be called beef. It took me far too long to work out that beef doesn't come from sheep :D It was quite possibly the most our family has ever laughed in years, I had to leave the table because I was crying from laughing so hard

    Pleased to hear your also have somewhere to go. I had a bit of a disaster the 4 KG Gammon has got frozen into the ice-box of a fridge I have - so there is big defrost that make climate change look insignificant. Might just have to go with lots of bubbly stuff and Xmas pies.

    I did not know that it was a sheep under 1 year old - had I guessed I would have said a baby pig as adults are called hogs.

    Yes. I've just finished Christmas pudding following Christmas lunch (featuring an amazingly large turkey leg). Dad's on the sofa reading the remaining Jenson Button book, Mum's sorting out the dishwasher and I'm trying to get my recording device to talk to my computer.

  • Alianora La Canta25/12/2009 at 14:56

    Morning, folks. Just came back from Mass. :)

    Last night was fantastic! Although, I must say, it probably says something about my hobby and the available gifts for my hobby that I got the following last night:

    1 Ferrari collared shirt (red)

    1 Ferrari tee (red with white piping)

    1 Ferrari tee (white with red piping)

    :D

    Gift of the night, though, was that Britney Spears greatest hits collection for my sister. We were dancing to it aaaaaaall night long. :D {Comment #76}

    Sounds great!

    I've got the voice recorder, a pair of cool noise-cancelling headphones which will help me practise my audio typing and two books (Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett and Star Wars: Invincible by Karen Traviss).

    I got Dad a book (Jenson Button: My Championship Year) and Dad got me a book (Jenson Button: My Championship Year). Hilarity ensued... ...resulting in a very grateful brother and nephew sharing my copy (well, it gave Dad and I an excuse to leave the house and admire the outside - it's the first White Christmas in the UK for five years).

    Now we have to wait another freakin' week.

    I know. Loving Timothy Dalton :D

  • Christine25/12/2009 at 19:12

    I mighta tricked Mr C into thinking that was the last ever one, cos if he knew it was actually two hours he had to watch he probably wouldn't have. He was quite surprised when it ended and didn't end properly.

    So the last Dr Who ever then. :P

    Aww, poor Mr C. Least he got to see awesomeness and, well, John Simm. many John Simms.

  • littlepurplegoth25/12/2009 at 19:14

    This means that you have seem the pics of the 'new' doctor then?

    (Im told there is a swimming pool in one of the new episodes...)

    So the last Dr Who ever then. :P

    Hehehe. Exactly :)

    Not quite.......

  • Lukeh25/12/2009 at 19:21

    Not quite.......

    I'm more than happy to give Matt Smith a chance. It's just tough following up the best doctor out of all of them.

  • Christine25/12/2009 at 19:23

    Not quite.......

    They would have it that way, though. Rebranding everything, starting from series 1 again.

  • Lukeh25/12/2009 at 19:25

    They would have it that way, though. Rebranding everything, starting from series 1 again.

    Oh no, they're not really going through with the series 1 thing are they? Boo!!

  • Christine25/12/2009 at 19:27

    Oh no, they're not really going through with the series 1 thing are they? Boo!!

    I guess we won't know until they either do or don't. Seems odd though.

  • littlepurplegoth25/12/2009 at 19:29

    Oh no, they're not really going through with the series 1 thing are they? Boo!!

    There has been some talk of cleaning up old episodes for the 21st century. But the rights holders for many of the earlier (pre doctor 8) characters and scripts have said that they will not allow them to be remade, so early doctors are safe for the time being. There is to be new radio material for early doctors though, where the actor is still around to do them :)

  • Lukeh25/12/2009 at 19:31

    All they need to do is give Wilf a show, job done. :)

    "She's a cactus!"

  • Christine25/12/2009 at 19:32

    All they need to do is give Wilf a show, job done. :)

    He's interviewed somewhere atm talking about how much fun this all is, and how he's happy to have doctor who as his pension....

  • Lukeh25/12/2009 at 19:33

    "Ah yes, it's bigger on the inside."

    The man is just amazing. I'm so pleased he is a major character in this storyline.

    Even after all this time, I still can't believe how hard the 'C' family works to provide us with amazing content and a lovely place to visit every day. I would like to learn (if possible) how to function on so little sleep :-)

    I have to leave for work in an hour (GMT+11) for the Boxing Day Sales. Do major department stores run these in the UK?

  • lou25/12/2009 at 19:39

    Rumour has it that it was -12 last night. Most main roads are OK now but as soon as you try to get into a housing area you either have snow or ice. It's not as bad as it was. I know people who took 4 hours to go three miles on Tuesday night.

    Hmm - thing is, when you look at his apparent 'changes' to long established characters, they are pretty much alway in line with the canon as a whole (including books and audio) even if they are a bit off with the most recent (10th and 11th doctor) things...

    I'm just old fashioned. Don't see the need for flying daleks or the Doctor acting like Jesus or the master who goes from a baddie to basically Superman but with more electricity, as well as random plot changes. I was Dr who wayyyyyyyy too much though so I tend to notice stupid things like his writing. ;)

    To be fair the Daleks flying isn't that bad, and the Master bit whilst over the top isn't as bad as I'm sure RTD wanted to be ;) I will give you the Jesus' though.

    (too bad for the heat and humidity...)

  • lou25/12/2009 at 23:57

    Yep, a nikon coolpix P90...it's beautiful! :D

  • guille230625/12/2009 at 23:58

    It's on the list

    it lacks a little bit of the pointless killing and destruction of the others (I loved the scene of the crane in T3...), but it's OK. good story, good special effects, you won't get disappointed.

  • Bassano25/12/2009 at 23:58

    Yep, a nikon coolpix P90...it's beautiful! :D

    No excuses now, must always be at hand for the opportune snap
