The cliffs of Møn, quite nice really...
Well hello there. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but I’ve been rather busy, what with a big project at work and all. I spent Saturday going to visit some lovely white cliffs on a road trip with friends (see pic above), while on Sunday I went for a run and took my lovely wife out to lunch and shopping (I got me some Angry Birds Plushies that make noises!) before watching the F1 in the evening. I didn’t think much to the race, but you can rate the race and add your thoughts here.
Joe Saward has been writing a lot, especially about a certain article relating to Indycar and a circuit boycott. A very good read!
There have been plenty of posts on Sidepodcast too – Tweets of the Week, Christine’s Driver and Team Rankings, a post about the latest escapades of Lewis & Jenson, and even Wimbledon posts!
Google are going to launch a service soon called Google+ which could either be the next awesome thing on the web, or just be left to die like Wave was. Let’s wait and see.
It was the 100th Anniversary of Juan Manuel Fangio’s birth this week, so enjoy some pics of him from the Cahier Archive.
Yesterday was also Tamara Ecclestone’s birthday – she got a puppy called Duke and ate loads of Chinese food. Lucky Girl.
Finally, if you are in the area of London, today is the Sidepodmeetup at the Coal Hole Pub at 7ish. Why not pop by for a beer and chat? Meetups are always awesome.
Sadly I won’t be able to make it, but I do have tickets to see the Senna Movie tonight, so if all bodes well I will finally get to see it!
Have fun everyone, and enjoy your day.
Hi Wednesday
I was just thinking on Monday that I haven't see much of you lately..
Speaking of Chinese food I have chicken noodle soup right now, sadly not from the local Chinese takeaway but from a packet.

Ammmyyyy!!! Bahrami is playing tomorrow, and now i get to watch it!! i'm very excited! yaay for Tennis :)
yay!
and i'm hoping as Jamie Murray is playing on a show court i may get to see his match on red button? I'm going to console myself in tennis tomorrow, so expect hundreds of comments from me :)
There are lots of internet streams available for any match you want to see.
p2p4u.net
if i could stream them i'd be a happy tennis fan. but my internet isn't fast enough :( bad times!
One day we will all have lightning fast internet connections
we're all moving to Finland?
Good plan.
when that day comes i'm throwing a party, with cake and everything!
Lightning fast internet and cake. I can't handle all the excitement

hooray, have booked tickets to Senna for me and Pamela. We are not going to the first screening at the Melbourne Film Festival on the 22nd July as its on at the same time as free practice for Germany, so we're going to the GP Advantage member screening on the 27th. Price includes a drink on arrival and small drink and small popcorn for the movie. Bonus!
Who would a Senna movie against a live session?
I am sure you will enjoy it
I know, silly film festival!
Crying seems to be almost compulsory at this film. I just love that people are getting some idea what that period was like. We have seen nothing like it and I doubt we ever will
I am not sure I can recall any successful product launch by Google in recent years. anytime they come up with something that should compete with something that already is out there they fail. Chrome is the only exception...
Perhaps they would be better off to continue doing what they do best - make money from they search engine dominance and spend them purchasing proven products (like YouTube that killed their own Google Video). But who am I to advise the billions of dollars worth company :-)
Don't forget Android.
True to a certain extent, but you can't really stop an IT company from innovating. :)
The new USGP in Austin isn't out of the political woods just yet...
http://impactnews.com/northwest-austin/256-recent-news/13530-podcast-formula-1-stalled-by-fine-print
yep, especially one that can afford to burn and burn money :-)
I read a bit about that Google+ I simply do not see any reason for me why to bother. unless it kicks off in a big and there will be no way survive on web without going Google+ I do not see myself getting anywhere near ...
What's important is that Google can answer the question, "how can it become relevant in the lives of our users?" Wave was a fantastic piece of tech, but since Google couldn't quite make it relevant for us, it became nothing more than a passing fancy. Same goes for Google+.
We can discuss forever how relevant was Wave or is/was Buzz etc. But at the end it is all about marketing. Company with such marketing power and reach should be able to convince masses that their products are relevant and among the best out there. It really puzzles me that Google keeps failing in the marketing area ...
Honestly, it's because they never needed to. They didn't need to sell AdWords or YouTube or even GMail. Those services pretty much sold themselves without a Google ad in sight.
their recent launch success history suggests otherwise ...
YouTube - sure they did not need to market it, they just needed to buy it :-)
GMail - that was a good one as at the time when they came up with gmail they offered more space than anybody else and allowed bigger attachments than anybody else. plus it was and still is simple.
this google plus the more I read the more complicated it seems :-)
I got my Gmail account for the extra space which I didn't really need because I'm not an email hoarder :D Also because my Hotmail account had become ravaged by spam and 7 years later I can count on one hand the number of spam emails that have made it into my Gmail inbox. The final reason was because no one else I knew was on Gmail so getting an invite made me feel special :D
quite similar here :-)

this settles the weekend between Abu Dhabi and Brazil Normally it happens after the end of F1 season but the season will be most likely over much earlier anyway :-)
Hello hello.
Anyone have a Sony Bravia? I hit the wrong buttons on one of the remotes and I'd love to get the picture back.
Blame jet lag. ;)
Instead of hitting "Guide" to get the channel listing I hit "Prog" and now all's I gots is fuzz. I changed it back one click to undo it and it didn't work.
Turn it off and on again?
Morning all
I tried. It didn't heal itself. :)
Hit Prog again?
Mash at the keypad?
I tried scrolling through that but no dice.
hehe
As a guest? I think I better not. :)
I'm all out... Other that trying turning it off at the wall. Or perhaps shouting at it.
I'll try some quiet imploring and hope Bassano reads the comments at some point. :)
I have one.
Try the imput button, should be top left of the remote opposite the green power button?
try this

He is always moaning about sky!
I hit the input button and selected TV, but still nothin'. I'll try Eric's link.
That is some insider knowledge there. I ask tonight to confirm

Kai, I discovered Sidepodcast not a long time ago and I still don't know everyone.
I see you are in the United Kingdom, but where are you from?

It takes time to find out where people are. :)
I'm from the US, from Connecticut (next to New York).
I just remember too much
Then you've done a big trip!.
Did you come to London because of the meet-up?
Awesome, Bassano never need know! :)
Really?? Well I'll bear that in mind :D
He was great about explaining it all, but I was too tired to take it all in last night. And I don't want to bug him at work with tv remote questions! ugh.

Morning all.....
So what's everyone's thoughts on Macca? Give up on 2011 or push until the final races?
It's getting very frustrating watch them slip back again...
based on 1 race????
Hi Elissa
Good Morning Elissa :)
No...development....they haven't seemed to of hit the ground running over the past few seasons....even the 2008 wasn't that great. For all their design prowess I really think losing a few key people is hurting them
I think they are doing ok, the only team to win in 08,09,10 and 11
Newey is on another planet
Have we seen them build a truly front running car in recent years? Pains me to say it but i'm looking back to pre 2000 to see one
Morning, everyone!
It wasn't this ad, but Pepsi scarred MJ for life...
Front running cars win races.
They have won races so yes.
Have they built the best car? Maybe not. But they have been able to win both races and a chamiponship, they probably should have had 2.
Morning Journeyer
See what happens at Silverstone. If RBR are still significantly ahead, it may be time to focus on 2012.
That said, there aren't any big rules changes between this year and next, so it may not hurt for McLaren to keep releasing updates until late into the year.
You are talking about the fire accident, aren't you?
Yes, things changed for him.
Erm, Ferrari did that too. In fact, Ferrari have won at least one race every season since... 1994. McLaren didn't win in 2006.
I must have missed their victory this year :P
The shocking thing is that McLaren hasn't wont the Constructors Championship since 1998.
I find them ever so slightly underwhelming in recent years, after the fireworks of 2007/2008 they seem to have dropped off ever so slightly. They'll always build a car there or thereabouts but where is the killer edge they're missing at present etc
Yes. They should've won both titles in 2007 and did win the WDC in 2008. Their strength has always been the depth of their engineering pool. They weren't hurt so much when Newey left. They're now facing the same test again with Pat Fry.
Good point! :D But they'll win one - maybe Spa.
They were top of the table in 2008, but only lost it because of the spy scandal
Indeed. That fact hasn't been lost on Mercedes, either.
You could argue the same thing with Ferrari. Remember, McLaren beat them in last year's WCC.
Oh defo agree re Ferrari....their saving grace is the years 2000-2004 and 2007
Can Newey be seriously making all that difference? Stuff Alonso and his 6 tenths...grab Newey and gain a second per lap!
the red dressed people may argue they ended at the top of the table only because of the spy activities :-)
IIRC, they would've won the WCC anyway in 2007 even if McLaren weren't DSQed - mostly because of the Hungary penalty.
I would say he can. But is not only about one person but about the team that person can build around. Just recall the interview with Fernandes last Sunday. When they asked him if money or people is what is needed for them to break into the solid midfield he himself said that money is important but at the end it is about the people you have ...
Yes. Newey has won titles with Williams (Mansell, Prost, and D. Hill when he was around, with J. Villeneuve winning in a Newey-derived car), McLaren (Hakkinen), and now Red Bull (Vettel). The only guy in the modern era who's had similar success is Ross Brawn.
He thrives on rules changes - that's when he can find an extra something to vault a team to the front. He tends to struggle when he's joining a team playing catch-up to those up front (See Red Bull, 2005-2008). But when the new rules came, they were suddenly up there.
Don't leave Horner out either. Regardless of what people think, the team built and managed there are hugely responsible for their success too.
Honda and Toyota are solid examples of money not buying success.
I wonder if newey will be around in 2014, he could jump to a new/old team (williams/lotus maybe) or go to the americas cup.
Given how the technical rules have been loosened for that it must be more tempting than ever
Honda at least managed to put some team together that brought success eventually. Unfortunately for Honda Honda was not there any longer at that time :-)
Very good point. He was the guy who lured Newey to Red Bull, after all. Also, he gave Newey what he wanted - technical freedom. They've reaped the results ever since.
:D
It depends if he wants another challenge. So far what he touched eventually turned into gold. Any new challenge would mean risking his 100% record :-)
Part of that was Brawn going in and kicking ****. Had it stayed the way it was, 2009 may not have been anywhere near as successful for Honda.
Poor management and all that.
It wasnt exactly luring, newey was supposed to go there 2 or 3 years before but mclaren gave him more cash.
Matershitz gave newey the budget needed to get him
and that brings us back to the people :-)
Don't forget, a Newey car also has an Indy 500 title too (with Rahal if I remember correctly)
Williams has Coughlan, while Lotus has Gascoyne. Coughlan could be expendable, though...
Ok.....would Macca be doing better if Ron was in charge?
Hmmm. Tricky question. I don't think they'd be doing worse, but I don't necessarily think they'll be doing any better, either. They have totally different leadership styles, but both may lead to the same results.
Progress efficiency would exist in correlation the critical external factors of the period inferred
I've always mained that "a driver" is always a team - it really is a case of a chain only being as strong as the weakest link. For example, how many races sid McLaren lose in 2005 because of poor Mercedes engine? Everything else worked and Kimi was driving impecably, but the Mercedes motor often let them down.
There are so many third party elements to a team (i.e. - engines, ECU's, tyres, etc...), let alone the car designers - therefore when it comes down to it, a driver can only be given an oportunity to win if all the tools come together. And this doesn't take into account pitcrews, stratagists, etc...
I'm not sure. I think part of Ron's success was the fact that Martin Whitmarsh was there too.
I just saw an ad that the show The Killing will start 7 July on ...I think it was BBC4? If you can watch it, please do. I loved it and was totally caught up.

Hi again :)
I just got an email that I booked my first paying voice over job! All that GarageBand messing around on Sunday paid off. Wow. I can't believe it.
Congratulations!
Congrats :D
Thank you. It seems surreal sitting in London right now and getting this news.
Thanks. :)
Question: Is that the BBC?

Thank you, Leigh. I like that it for a children's iPad story, too. That genre seems to be really up and coming right now.
Excellent stuff.
By the way, do you have any idea what time yourself and Bassano will be heading up to the Coal Hole this evening?
I'm going to meet Janna this afternoon and then Bassano's going to come over after work. He said around 6:30 or so, I think.
I guess the Daily Post will look like a desert today hehe.
Good stuff. I should be there just after 6, so will see you then.
:)
In fact, I should go start getting ready so I can navigate the bus and train.
See you there, Leigh! :)
Oh dear navigating... I need to figure out how I'm going to get to and come back from Joe's shindig next week
ohhh congratulations Kai!! :) what a great start to your holiday :)
Awesome, cant wait to hear it :)
Speaking of voiceovers, I've a few to finish tonight as well. I tried to do it last night, but with I being the caring housemate that I am (ehhhhh......), I stopped making noise before it got too late
:)
5 pints of awesome!
Aside from all that, it's a very nice day here (where ever here is) and that makes me happy

I got a new F1 Racing today, the cover story is "DANIEL RICCIARDO - OUR NEW WEBBER?"
what does that make the old Webber?
Not sure about anyone else, but I really, really rate him though.
alan jones
Ha-haaa
They don't call him Web 2.0 for nothin. :D
I think he's better though. We shall see I suppose when one of the Toro Rosso's is vacated...
He is a great driver, but anyway, it's fair to say that he hasn't done nothing that Alguersuari did before.
I am not saying that he is not talented, he is!
And I thing Ricciardo won't be at Red Bull. Today Horner said that the team wanted Webber to stay for another year.
It's not just the results. It's hard to describe, but there's something about his craft that seems a step up from Buemi / Alguersuari
If he is as good as Vettel, then RB could easily have a boring version of the Senna/Prost inter-team battle, with those two winning every race of the season.
I've seen him racing in the World Series and he has that special speed. He only needs luck, because if he has it then he'll rock this world.
I think Buemi is the one who's going to leave STR. He is the older one and his results are not as good as his team expected, I don't see him racing in Red Bull, although Alguersuari is still too young.
ps. Sorry for my english, I know I make lots of mistakes when I try to write long setences.
Can Disco Dan overpower Helmut Marko, though?
Then Ricciardo would play the rookie driver role... Return to the past!
Ricciardo could so easily have won World Series last year and probably could have had it not been for Jon Lancaster's idiocy at Silverstone
For those that didn't see it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIftZ1IwThc
Smooth! I'm guessing Jon lacks the fine throttle control of other drivers then.
Let's just say a future in Touring Cars via Superleague or Auto GP probably awaits
Oh, my god. I hadn't seen that before. (first year I try to watch WS)
What a stupid crash!
points for Karun -
Hi, I am organising a Go-Kart race next Wednesday, the 6th @Whiltonmill ! It's a media / charity event & I've opened some slots for the fans
https://twitter.com/#!/karunchandhok/status/86057014333161472
yay for fan friendly/charity friendly drivers. :)
And there are some karts for fans too! #sidepodgoeskarting
It's a great little series and fast creeping up on GP2 as the formula of choice, especially when you consider that Red Bull have ditched GP2 on the basis that it's not worth it.
WS also has backing from Renault (obviously), but also contains squads from Virgin and Team Lotus too.
The World Series will come to the Circuit de Catalunya this year :)
Wohoo!
We just went and visited a factory that makes tools for us to use out in the field. I'm not lying when I tell you that the precision and workmanship is right up there with F1 standards!
The approach to fans is also excellent. The WS race at Silverstone last year apparently had a crowd of close to 60,000
I would like to have a crowd like the British one, who loves motorsport, whoever is in the car.
That number is like the 75% of the people who went to the Spanish GP Race (not the whole weekend).
Popped into the apple store to say hello :)
it took me far too long to type this. damn mac keybroad
I am ready to start 'studying' in the Nikon Online-School.
Any suggestions about it?
Never heard of it to be honest.
Ok hehe.
Time to write another blog post... Suggestions are welcomed ;)
Doing one myself at the minute, so a bit tied up.
:)
How about some research into viewing figures? do a historical comparison?
I said I'd do one on online racing yet i'm stuck on how to start it....any suggestions?
It depends on your angle. Are you telling us about your favourite online game? Or trying to convince us why we should join in? Or perhaps just telling the story of how you got started and why you love it?
I was thinking more in regards to the community aspect of it...I knows there's a few peeps on here who do have consoles and race. I don't think any of them do it with a real kinda dedication or possibly know where to go. Console racing can get quite a samey and boring past time if you don't have any decent friends to race against. Suppose I could down the route of explaining my favourite game and it all relates (which is Forza 3) but was wary of that as games tend to divide people just like drivers do. I'm part of the Xbox crowd which typically means the PS fans hate us and then the PC fans lord it over everyone...
Talking about how all of this is what will make people interested I think.
Okkey dokkey....I'll just go from the start and describe my experience with it...
Saw some news on shiney toys today....check out this for a mean looking steering wheel.......and to think people used joysticks...pah!
http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Forza4_Wheels/
Give the forums at iRacing a bell - some serious sim folk on there.
I'd race iRacing if I could...my PC isn't up to it though..
Yeah I find iRacing a little overtly elitist for the sake of it, plus you don't actually own anything you buy. You just rent cars, tracks for a year etc....that to me just grates me a little. You really have to splash out to get more tracks and better cars. They have some great ideas to stop idiots runing races (a common problem in console gaming) and I'd like to see them implemented on Xbox live or PS network
All true I suppose
the very reason i don't race online more!
I won an online f1 2010 race once because nobody else braked for turn 1 at Singapore, obviously didn't end well for them...
Good evening btw :)
Hahaaa, ace...
Hi Matt
I've been meaning to Grand Prix 3 out again. I like playing rFactor from time to time, but the frame rate and file sizes can kill my laptop, plus the AI is a bit useless
It's just such a shame that it's impossible to add really large circuits to GP3, otherwise it'd be brilliant
I love the 'Grand Prix' series.
Soooooo much time spent in GP2, at one point i was updating car liveries & performance data after each race...
Evening?! Where are you in the world? It's not even tea time in the 'shire' here.
I find the f1 2010 racing online annoying at best, if you get past the first corner carnage you're either used as a brake into the next corner or people just quit the race and leave you trundling around on your own. I've never tried the online racing on GT5 and would be interested in how that compares to Forza.
Forza has it's idiots (had a bloke reverse off the startline last night!) but they're much easier to kick out of lobbies before races as you soon get used to knowing who's a crasher and who's clean. Most of us meet in the public lobbies then go off into our own private races.
Oh yes, yes, yes...
The mods for - although limited at times - were excellent. I just loved downloading circuits and creating my own World Championships in the most unlikely of circuits
:)
You a big fan of some of the N.American venues? I'm a huge fan of Road Atlanta, Road America, Sebring etc...
Elkhart Lake is a fabulous circuit (and a rival for a Spa in the top circuits category), but also a big fan of Portland and Mid Ohio.
Loving the rumours that Elkhart Lake may be a goer for IndyCar in 2012...
I haven't raced Portland yet...big fan of Mid Ohio though...I think we can be guilty of writing US tracks off over here as people just think Ovals by default....
Well, technically morning here in Sydney...
GP2edit.com had sooo many mods, I even had the 98 car shapes loaded in to replace the 'old' 94 ones :D
A very early morning at that
I've decided to start writting the 'English Post'... We don't have to be Einstein to guess it which language it's written.
Hope you enjoy it :) http://martif1.com/2011/06/29/english-post-silverstone-home-of-british-motorsport/
ps. And it has a special banner hehe
Truly a global village thesedays....love it :-)
Aye - some of the road circuits in the US just flow so naturally. Great fun to drive
I like Road's America & Atlanta, I'd like a game with Elkhart Lake & Watkins Glen so i can play there
I like the rustic feel to them, not huge tilkerdromes emblazzoned with bling architecture etc...shame they're not used much by World Championships...
later & later these days.... :/
True, but a few of them are only Grade 2, so they'd need a lot of work to make it in.
The only Tilke-drome i'd like to see again is the A1 Ring (now Red Bull Ring), that was an epic track, simple, but had some killer corners.
Actually had some good racing too, a rare thing in the late 90's/early 00's
Hardly any would be good would they? Who's got G1 status...apart form Indy I struggle to think who would get it...Maybe Laguna Seca at a push
Woo hoo, 4 day weekend starts here
I'm in the mood for a meet-up :D
Four days? What do you celebrate ^^?

Evening (already?). I've come back from a long-ish round of golf in Weymouth, I lost by six shots and made some silly errors, and a few times the ball had a mind of its own, but it was a really really nice day and a good walk.
The clouds encircling most of the rest of Dorset stayed well away from the course, bright blue skies there. :)
Evening :)
Nice to see you enjoyed your day.
Here in spain the wheather is awful, it's just too hot!
Why doesn't it rain a bit? :)
This is a good week.
It was hot on the course, weirdly I came home (15 miles roughly) and it is a lot cooler.
Congrats!
It is amazing how advanced some of the farm machinery is. I thought the tractor drivers just drove up and down field all day but apparently the speed is governed by computer, especially when seeding and the seeds have to be distributed evenly over the field. You set how many seeds you want dropped per metre and it tells the tractor what speed to go.. Madness!

But at least you know what's his name? (don't tell which is, I don't want the website to explote hehe).
Have a good time over there!
His name is Mr C.
I just rang my parents and my mum said "I thought you were from the National Autism Office"
Way to recognise your own daughter :P What an odd thing to say!!
Good one.
Bye bye everyone :)
See you tomorrow and for those of you who are at the pub: Have a great time :)
drive-by comment:
Waiting for confirmation of my new job. Assuming everything goes properly (no reason it shouldn't) I'll be squirreling away money to get to Austin next year. Never too early to start planning a meetup...
And I'll be back later
F1 drivers are humans too..
@Nico_Rosberg
Now I'm getting worried! Couldn't find mobile for 30minutes.Found it inside my fridge.Put it there to open a bottle and forgot.

Mr C has arrived at last.
And the hugs have started already :|

Evening. Hope the people at the meetup are having a great time.
Mrs. Goat and I have just come home after watching the Senna Movie and we both loved it!

Apparently Prince Harry is now dating Jenson's ex. Upgrade.
Upgrade from Jessie? No way!

That was a Kai hijack, Nassano saying WHAT?

Not burning the candles at both ends, at all
as long as I can swallow jack daniels ribs tonight, I'll be good :)
no more than usual :)
that's the spirit! :)
and the fried mac and cheese appetiser. I like that they took an amazing dish, added deep frying and make it better.
:D hehe we may need a picture, that sounds strange!
page 3! http://www.tgifridays.com.au/files/TGI_Menu.pdf
Jack Daniels does ribs?
TGI Fridays does :)
oh wow!!
my flatmates used to buy this alot - http://tinyurl.com/5wdkglm
am assuming its the same kinda thing?
I imagine so. The thing is I don't even like BBQ sauce but I do like ribs. I've never actually had the Jack Daniels sauce so fingers crossed I like it. If not I bags more of the appetiser!
the airasia australia competition to win a trip to singapore ends today and the leader only has 56 likes on their photo.
Someone from Sidepodcast so should have entered :D
Is there still time for you to enter?
no you had to enter by the 23rd. Plus the tickets I already have for it are better than the prize :D
You need to get in early for the next competition. Your tickets may be better but Air Asia's are cheaper
I didn't mean me, I meant someone else from Sidepodcast :)
Pamela? And she could take you this time
but the prize is rubbish to us, but awesome to someone who wouldn't otherwise be going.
Hi folks. Quick hello from me. I haven't written in my blog yet.
Had a good evening?
What's happening?
Fantastic evening.
Nothing much
Awful, frickin'' tourists
I look forward to the blog entry
You can't say that about Kai?
He's very sweet, isn't he?
Can't I? did I miss a memo?
I'll remind you that are within punching distance.
Are you just slagging her off because she trashed your TV?
Or at least in reach of a thrown projectile.
Not the TV remote with your record
And resorted to Nick to solve it!
A special help desk in Dubai helped me get that sorted.
But yeah, I broke it for a while. :)
And believed him
It may be all it's good for in my hands.
:D
The proof was in the pudding.
I know, it was very weak of me to ask for help, but I was without a tv! And I'm American! It's a problem.
You didn't know that till you tried what he suggested. Nick could just as easily have given you instructions to blow up the TV
I guess I'm lucky it didn't end up on top of the fridge!
:D
True. You make a good point that I didn't think of at the time.
Never trust a man with a kettle on top of his fridge.
:D
*collapses*
Home already?
i think the whole of london is being dug up right now. the hole of london perhaps?
cost be lots of time with all the temporary chicanes. may have made up some time on the straights
Some say London has always been a hole
Sounds like Tilke is in charge
Glad you got home safe.
love it.
I thought Amy was the only Borg round here
i've been assimilated.
just you watch me plan something.
i gotta go tell christine what a night she missed :)
Noooo
:D :D
did lukeh get home yet?
about an hour ago says twitter
w00t! in that case i shall call it a night.
Good night
these are two very different takes on the same story:
BBC News
Local news in Hong Kong
I would say that assisting police and getting arrested is not exactly the same.

Interesting, that. Not a single mention of the rap sheet in the BBC article too.
Shame I missed what sounds like a great night last night!
Hear, hear!
sometimes missing out is good for overall health :-)
there is new article on BBC web now that seems to be accurate. with slight delay they are getting the story right :-)
:D
Good morning everyone :)
Are you enjoying the day?
It seems today there's not Daily Post.
today does not exist :-)
I wonder when was the last time we saw something like this...
PING!!!!
Emergency Daily
