The ever-lasting hiatus continues as Sidepodcast Towers takes a break from all things Formula One. Here is your daily thread, that was written days in advance, so will contain no information of relevance.
According to the peoples encyclopedia, London's first ever underground railway opened up today back in 1870. Ah, lovely innovation and trains mixing together. My favourite London Underground is the one that doesn't go underground. Great fun, that one.
Don't forget to keep being polite to each other, I know you wouldn't dream of do anything else. But remember, we’ll be even more miserable if we have to get back and wade through pages of nasty comments.
Have a good day.
Good Morning new daily!
Since when did it turn midnight!! It was 10 something not too long ago
Was just about to say that... tonight has FLOWN by!
How do you do
I'm off to bed then, see you all tomorrow .. no show to look forward to :(
Aww, don't be sad. a break is whats needed, better that than an unhappy show I'd say :)
night jackie
Night Jackie
I've just found some High School Musical top trumps that i was given for my birthday 2 years ago....does this make me a bad person?
Night Andy
Wow.
That... is quite a present.
Oh no, that was only half....the other half was an A1 size copy of this poster
:I
* :-|
I'm so sorry.
O.O oh my...
I'm still mourning the loss of my self respect.
RIP
RLM just said Peugeot are doing the Laguna Seca ALMS races as well as Petit Le Mans
Hello anybody out here besides "The Turth" ? :P
Are you my concience?
I want to stay on, but I am le tired.
Night guys.
Do you want me to be your conscience, I charge reasonable rates...
Night Lukeh
Hi Jordan
aha, i wondered if you'd get my reference....
Not a Finding Nemo fan i see? ;)
Night Lukeh
Night lukeh
I can be called "Bruce", but I work only too well. However, it was to the benefit of my previous namesake's picture that he did not work so well.
And yes, you "do need a bigger boat...."
Evening, morning Steve....
:D
Steven:
Any more interesting developments about the confusion that two separate organizations that share the same initials many have caused Sidepodcast? I do not follow not really twitter.
THe last development was that they asked for the section of their lawyer's message that was posted in the comments to be removed because we pointed out the spelling mistake here and quite a few dozen times on twitter. We also have clear information that they have no case but since they have gone away we have stopped slaughtering them on twitter. If they come back it will mean war.
Giggles did find this twitter account though which is worth a quick read. I would love to know who started it.
https://twitter.com/gmmf1
RLM say there is sportscar racing every weekend in August.
ALMS have races on the next two weekends which doesn't make a lot of sense.
Mid Ohio next weekend and Elkhart Lake the following weekend. Both are really good tracks.
The weekend after that is the LMS race at the Nürburgring then the last weekend in August it is ALMS again at Mosport in Canada.
I wonder who dreamt up the ALMS schedule?
FRANCK NEWS
According to Radio Le Mans Peugeot will enter two cars for the Petit Le Mans on September 26th and Laguna Seca on October 10th.
There is also the final LMS round at Silverstone on September 13th
Thanks!
Right, good idea's over, sleepy time pour moi!
Goodnight all
Night Jon
Steven, got your DMs via Twitter. I will work on a wiki pg tonight for my show idea for sidepodradio. Was there anyone who wanted to help?
apparently the girl blogged this:
http://iheartfranck.com/2009/07/28/franck-speaks-out/
twas news to me too.
Okay. So what happens to Giggles' Made-Up Media ?
you must be behind that?? wow.
it shall continue, as soon as we can muster the strength for a fight.
It has been pretty quiet tonight. I will try again tomorrow. If we plug the the wiki page when it is ready I am sure i will be able to volunteer someone. One of the advantages of the date change is that Gavin and Giggles are back and Gavin will do a live show and all Giggles stuff so far is pre-records.
Once people know what th show is about and it means very little effort from them they will get behind it. We don't need them to take pictures etc because there will be pictures on th net we can use.
I am in trouble again for trying to help.
Sorry Christine.
and pictures work so well for radio ... :)
Right now I don't know but I would be not be at all surprised if it turned up some time.
me too!!
Morning, everyone.
Seems y'all had fun last night. :D
nikki. apologies we couldn't sort drop.io from the g1, should be fixed now we're back. was it just the one?
Yes, just the pancake pic. Cheers.
We tweeted and re-tweeted it and we mentioned on here what we planned to do on twitter. I issued a direct challenge several times on twitter and the only response appears to be that he now knows his mother(I mean his Lawyer) can't spell. I keep making that mistake
Did Christine get my e-mail tonight about Nikki's dropio issue?
Of course. We have a video feed and we can create another wiki page as a permanent record afterwards then more people can add their bits and pieces and build it.
you got a response? man, i am so out of the loop.
You answered before I asked.
phew. will notify drop.io that there's a flaw in the system tomorrow too. apologies again.
defect! defect! hehe. :D
now, what to do today. hmmm...
i'm inside your head. we can't admin the drop from a restaurant sadly, but will mention to the developers.
i like finding bugs for other people :)
No response at all. I thought he asked you to pull the message. I thought that's what Christine said.
I was spoiling for an argument. I slagged off his business and quoted the 20% real stuff. Several people re-tweeted and we tagged everything. Made up all sorts of variations on the three initials and tagged them and nothing.
Stuart had a dig at him on here . Nothing
hey, i'm the one inside steven's head.
his head isn't big enough for the two of us. :P
Hi Journeyer
Morning, Steven.
Sunday already? Well, I guess it isn't so bad - makes next weekend one day closer. :D
That's why I thought an e-mail to Christine was best because there was no way you would remember a comment by the time you got home and I know you and your e-mail don't have a great relationship
ahh yes. i thought you may have response on twitter.
maybe he wasn't up for a "great gmm debate" after all?
Who says I am not big headed?
Ungh. Head hurts.
:D
pretty much spot on. you didn't account for the girl sampling tequila though...
Morning, Sean. Maybe you got too much sleep? Or maybe you just need me and Mr C inside your head. ;)
oooooooooh....
On twitter I told him he could bring his mother with him if he wanted. Damn made that mistake again. It's almost like I don't believe the lawyer was really a lawyer.
I suppose there is a 20% chance.
Alcohol?
Maybe I had too much to drink before I went to bed. ;) You were there weren't you? Someone was here at the time anyway.
Was that before you convinced her that cheesecake was a cocktail?
Hmmm...
:D
ahh, ummm. anyways, i'm sure she'll get to email at some point tomorrow.
So long as she enjoyed herself.
I don't think it's a flaw; that is my email signature -- I just didn't realize when I emailed the pic to the drop that it would all show up as a comment. Now I know and I'll be more careful.
Just read Christine's blog post. She mentions Petit Le Mans which we knew about a few weeks ago but there is no mention ofthe Laguna Seca race which I only found out about tonight
i thought petite was at seca? shall pass on the info, i know nothing,
we've had to remove comments for a couple of people in the past. but fair point.
I have put a comment with details. Petit is in Georgia. Laguna is in California
That should say I put a comment on her blog post
ace. go franck!
There. I'm in today's daily now. And I'm gone. :D
bye!
I thought you had already gone Nikki
Bye J.
I was saying bye to Journeyer. I'm still here. I added a "Travels in Sidepodland" wiki page and signed up in the 2 pm slot. Tentatively.
is this the one we were discussing yesterday?
...maybe: http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Travels+in+Sidepodland
I mean yes. Sorry.
Seems like it. It just became a Sydney - Melbourne argument yesterday though. ;)
Right. It's all coming back to me now.
That's a good start Nikki. If wee keep plugging it over the next few days people will start to buy into it. We need to keep a list on that page of people who intend to leave voicemails and those who have done. Then when the show happens it will just be a case of linking them.
I saw that. At least we know the Aussies and adopted Aussies will sign up to defend their cities and I am sure the English won't be prepared to sit back and let the Aussies claim to have done a better job than them.
That should get a few responses.
So should the responses go to Sidepodcast's line, then?
There are loads of people on the map who don't comment so it would be worth asking Christine to mention this show in the next podcast which will be next Sunday I assume so that they can contribute. Failing that it can be included in one of the daily posts once they stop being automated.
Gavin and Amy will probably fill half the show. He was born in England moved to New Zealand then to Denmark and Amy is from New Zealand lives in Melbourne and wants to be Finnish.
Excellent! I lived in Japan for four years and did an audio climb up Mt Fuji for our local radio show. I've emailed them for a copy in hopes of using it again.
Yes.
It would be worth modifying the wiki page to ask people to log their name and place and whether they have left a voicemail orr not.
The voicemail should be left at 0121 28 87225 if they are in the UK or +44 121 28 87225 if they are not or on Skype at sidepodcast.
Living in Japan must have been interesting. Did you actually climb the mountain or just talk about it.
Done.
I actually climbed Mt. Fuji. Twice. Which illustrates the Japanese truism that "a wise person climbs Mt. Fuji once; a fool climbs it more than that."
Every time I see it the top is obscured by clouds. Was it a difficult climb because I was under the impression that it was very high. Which seems an odd thing to say about a mountain.
The best time to climb is overnight. There's not much to see on the way up, the weather tends to be better, and the sunrise from the top is phenomenal. It's not a hard climb if you're in shape, but the air does get a little thin at the top. I made myself sick the first time climbing the last leg too fast to make it in time for the sunrise. It's a tough slog, though, on the way down -- especially on no sleep.
I guess the view and the memories are the best bits and the climbing and descending not so much.
Very, very true. :)
where are you at?
I am on the west coast of Scotland.
Make sure you contribute to the travel show, because all I know about Scotland is what Outlander novels have told me. Though they're very well researched. :)
I'm off for a bite of dinner now. Isn't if awfully late for you (or early)?
I intend to do something for the show.
I just saw the clock. It is past my bedtime. Enjoy dinner
Thanks. Night night.
night
See ya.
Hello all
Good afternoon.
Let me guess, down under?
Yep.
So how's your sunday shaping up?
Well, it started with a very big headache (my fault ;) ), but I guess it's improved since then. What's Saturday like, I don't remember much of it. ;)
good for you. I had a few pints last night when I got home from the casino, but had to contain myself for my morning run. At work now, about to go to bed
So what time is it over there? Just before midnight?
Yeah, about 5 till, on the west coast of Florida. What was the occaision last night, like you really need one
Thought so, based on my guess that LA was 17 hours behind us. Occasion? I had a bottle of Bourbon and a bottle of coke. That was my excuse for an occasion. ;)
That sounds like one of my occaision, I love having a few beers when the thunderstorms roll in in the afternoon.
yaaaaaaaaaay pearl jam have officially announced their aus tour. Words cannot explain how happy I am.
will they be visiting you?
they sure are, and I'm in the fan club so get pre-sale tickets :D When they last toured in 2006 they cancelled their NZ dates because the stadium wasn't finished being built and I was so gutted. I've been wanting to see them for more than 10 years!
I never listened to Pearl Jam until I went to the Canadian GP and this cover band played some of their songs, they were great. So I have a few PJ songs on my ipod for running.
Very nice :) They are only doing one show here in a massive football stadium rather than doing a few shows at the smaller tennis stadium, so I think the atmosphere could be quite good. Now to find someone who wants to come with me and my awesome tickets :D
Will they be in Melbourne, that's where you are, right? Oh, have a call, gotta go
They playing at the MCG?
Etihad stadium
Which used to be which one? Olympic Park?
okay, back now
Telstra Dome
Ah. Everything used to be Telstra it seems. Telstra Stadium up here ain't Telstra anymore either.
hello. am in line for cory's wake. it's a LONG line - around 2.5km in length.
Hello. Who's Cory?
corazon aquino - think people power and 1986
Wow! I can't imagine any of our leaders ever getting that many people come to mourn them.
Before you message, I did a google search and found it. Where is the wake?
at our school's gym - the private quick count that validated her victory in 86 was done here - with the chalkboard to prove it.
sean, shes a global icon. i think she's our only president to get this long a line ever or since.
Lasalle Greenhills gym, thank you google.
Yeah, I can understand why she is so loved. It's still amazing though, coming from a completely different perspective.
that is the one, joe. studied here for a long time. really happy they did it here.
i believe a couple of vips might visit. we've confirmed horta of east timor is coming. mandela might go too.
Well, peace be with you on this solemn occasion. Out here
Want to learn how to draw Garfield?

i am at souvlaki hut. Like pizza hut but more greek.
Morning everyone! BTCC @ Snetteton today! :D
Just waiting for dad to turn up and then it's just a 20 min drive down to the circuit. Will do my best to give updates throughout the day :)
This is why I don't bother with Twitter. Sidepodcast is the same, just with more characters. ;)
Just stopped at a garage to get some cash out. Next stop: Snetterton :D
Formula One Technical Working Group - please take note of IRL changes:
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77510
Unless I missed something it seemed like KERS.
We have arrived at Snetterton, have bought my ticket and now just going over the bridge to find somewhere to park
Seemed more like a combination of aerodynamic changes and KERS to me. Mainly though, all the talk about being able to run closer to car in front.
Have just placed our seats at the Esses and we're now on the way to the paddock before the first race.
I have found the moth:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-151
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-152
I told you having my camera by my side was a good idea.
The one time I do not have to crawl out of bed to write a show and I am awake early. *shakes fist at life*
I don't know how anyone could be up at 8:40 on a sunday.
I am on holiday and yet I am up taking pictures of moths. I blame Steven!
Hashtags mate, hashtags. ;)
Is this a famous moth?
But did you wake up happy and then get cranky? I haven't been keeping up with the comments much lately, but it seemed to me as though you went out last night and had a good time.
aren't moths white? that thing looks terrifying.
Last night was good, butt I did not sleep well and am now awake earlier than I'd like. Overall, the mood is good, though
*but
Clearly it is too early to type.
And what would sidepodcast be without live commenting of our adventures outside the house? it's the only way to make sure people know we make it back safe. Picture time!
Here is my souvlaki
Then we went to an Italian desert place and I got a Pistachio Mignon. The inside was custard, which looked like this, and it was amazing. I also got some nutella cheesecake that I'm going to eat later because right now I'm rather full.
Yay!
Zoe keeps Amy hours so I get lots of time to myself on Sunday mornings. Much internetting is done! I would clean the house etc. but I wouldn't want to disturb my princess now, would I?
At the good mood comment of course. Forgot smiley at end as well.
it's one that's here on holiday. I mentioned it a few days ago and steven wanted a picture.
you live in Australia I assume your moths try and eat you.
I've never seen a moth over here actually. The trick to not getting eaten is to live in the CBD where all the spiders and snakes are in pet shops.
I see. I did not know moths took holidays. This is interesting.
you always have to be careful. You never know who's going to crawl over. ;)
excuse my ignorance. Any big cities in CBD?
well normally we live in Gypsy Hill. So perhaps this is a gypsy moth.
the CBD is the city :) Wiki tells me this term is not really used in the UK. The things you learn.
Just been round the paddock taking pics and there was a remote control carbeacing stand where I heard something truely hilarious, the announcer there saying: "There is a prize up for grabs in this race, the greatest prize ever in the history of racing - a packet of mini Smarties" :D
Now in our Esses seats watching the first Porsche race, first race of the day. Weather is perfect.
Remote control racing car stand*
Man, sat here at the esses these Porsches sound like heaven when they're downshifting :D
Just watched 3rd placed Tim Bridgeman lock his left front all the way round the esses and keep it on the track!
officially short for Central Business District, but as Amy has explained, the colloquialism is 'the city', as in 'not the outer suburbs'.
Harvey looks good for the win in race 1, currently leading ahead of Sutton, Bridgman and Caine.
3 cars just had an accident right in front of us!
24 is such a good show!
[Blink, Blunk, Blink, Blunk]
Sean sits watching television. Can one man watch an entire series of 24 in just 24 hours?
[Blink, Blunk, Blink, Blunk]
:D
ah we use the city for the city. We really should use something else in London because the city doesn't mean the city it means "The City". Which can cause confusion ;)
I work in The City, but you would go out in the city, which is really called West End. But the West End is in the center not the west.
London's names got a bit confused because it grew a lot more than was expected.
View oran-park-fosc-july-09-jpg
This is the only photo I took at Oran Park last weekend. Weather was average but I didn't care. I hadn't been to a race meeting in ages and Zoe came with me.
Wiki says " London arguably has three city centres, the City of London, the medieval City of Westminster and Canary Wharf"
I can't help but feel that when I make it over there I will get lost and then die of starvation in a park
That sounds like a challenge. ;)
the thing about London is... You are never far from food. Practically every pub does food. And there are pubs everywhere.
I am going for a run. If you don't hear from me again tonight, it's true what they say. Exercise is dangerous.
Have been around the paddock again, this time on my own. Had a chat with a pretty promotions girl at the big VXR stand, set the fastest lap of the day so far on the RC car stand, bought a couple of print drawings and spotted Plato, Neal and Adam Jones. Also got Colin Turkington's autograph. Now back sat at the Esses waiting for the first BTCC race. Come on you Chevys! :D
Wow. Esses, first lap, Plato shoves Turkington off, then Andrew Jordan hits Plato, he gets very sideways and holds it! Unbelieveable! :D
Only about 5 laps gone and 2 of the 3 RML chevrolets are out. Boo.
People who run keep telling me that it becomes addictive if you do it enough. I don't believe them. I still think running sucks.
I tried it for like a week back in April. Worst.week.ever.
The only reason for running is if you are being chased, surely?
I was practicing in case that happens because if someone chases me they'd catch me within about 100m.
Good...morning? afternoon? noon?... everyone.
:)
Or maybe for a bus
Afternoon folks
You might try harder if you were actually being chased though.
Good point. Lets hope I never find out.
afternoon. After a busy morning of poosticks (we have a two year old with us on holiday - any excuse) we are going to go and feed some pigs and have a cream tea :)
Guys, prepare to be jealous. I just met Ted Kravitz and got his autograph and a pic with him! Legend. :D
Pigs like cream tea?
Awesome!
awesomeness!
that is the purpose of this "scientific" experiment.
Oh lordy, have you come away thinking you have an affinity with him too?
BRILL-iant! :D
:D Would that mean Scott has an affinity with Mr C too? ;)
It's starting to sound like a cult :)
TED NEWS!
It's not? Ah man, I was hoping for enlightenment and true peace by the end of summer
:D
three steps to enlightenment
1) Meet Ted
2) Discover affinity
3) Comment about it on SPC
:)
aah. To be one of those 'organized' people who dawdle around the train station getting in my way...
I can't always get out of work on time! mmkay?
PS. poosticks? I'm not going to look it up. I expect you to explain :)
watch the video on the drop ;)
Where are you scott? where did you meet him?
Afternoon all, how are we all today?
I have work in 12 hours :(
VBH's brother is racing Ginetta G50's today!
uber boo's
stupid short weekends :(
"I'm sure there's been the odd....issue"
That's an understatement :D
And just when I was going to go to sleep too. Ah well, sleep can wait another 22 minutes :)
oh, wrong thread. oops.
afternoon sidepodpeeps :) how is everyone today?
gooooood thanks, and yourself?
currently listening to part one of giggles radio, its awesome
yaaay Lou! I was starting to think I had somehow been the only survivor of some sort of sidepocalypse.
yeah i'm good thanks, i'm listening to giggles as well (part 1). Giggles is such a legend :)
Hello all.
Anything exciting happening? Just started part one of Giggles radio
aw! :) i'll always be around ;)
It was super quiet here and I was scared everyone had gone and not told me and now everyone is turning up at once, just as I am about to go to bed.
i'm printing out more photos to stick all over my wall in my room (i have a wall covered in photos in my room and am adding to that atm) nothing else exciting happening (other than giggles radio) for me :)
It was so quiet here last nght too. I think it is because Gavin and Giggles are not here to stir things up at the same time the management is on hiatus
Hello, I'm here. I've been here all along but thought I'd pop in to make Amy more paranoid.
does anyone know where Jenson finished in the triathlon today? i haven't started looking, so wondered if anyone else knew...
Did you go?
no :( mum tricked me and didn't wake me up early :(
That is a nasty sneaky parent trick
booooo
yes, it is. then again she probably didn't want to drive me to the station at 5:30 :s
You could have swam there.....and then ran to the train...and then cycled once you got off it...
swim to london??...from SE Kent??....
nah, swam to the train station
er.... that would be kinda possible... but not advisable due to the state of the river :P but a nice idea :)
I knew a mere moth couldn't beat Giggles.
You were driving at 70mph this weel you must be capable of getting the car to the station
yes.. but it would still mean mum would need to be in the car... :)
Only legally
:D
:D
Apparently JB finished in 2 hours, 7 minutes and 20 seconds, but I don't know where that places him.
if Lou is driving at 70 mph from Kent towards Jenson who is cycling around in a circle where do they meet?
Casualty
Thanks for all the kind words everyone :)
oo awesome :) i've found the results page but all i get is 'service unavailable' :s
i would never run into Jenson...
http://twitpic.com/cdhtr is that Jules he is with?
where was that weheartalex page again? ;)
Is there nothing on his own website?
yes.
http://weheartalex.tumblr.com/
not yet no.
As if all of the radio wasn't enough there are some videos of the pigs and chickens I found on the drop.io. Plus some pictures of the pork pies and cream teas we ate. Plus some very silly pictures of me with my head through a board!
Ahem ;)
Why is he watching the swimming? Should he not be swimming the swimming?
apparently there was a triathlon yesterday as well.
Videos of pigs followed by pork pies. Is there any connection there?
but you might get Chris to punch his father ;)
I knew if anyone would know from a profile shot, it would be you :D
he was doing an early race i think... from what i gather there are lots of different start times depending on which class they enter. Jenson did an early morning race i believe...
well... erm... :D
Chris punched/ poked him without my knowing... but yes i would :P
pies look tasty
Here we go again...
:P
i've just found a photo album on facebook with a load of images jenson competing in the triathlon in...
Shov, looks a little tired... and yes it definitely was Jules... :D
They really really were!
his bike is like all brawn gp'd up!!!
amazing
Finnish Rally highlights on Dave now .. just starting
Hi Jackie.
It's a bit like the Marie Celeste round here today.
So I see, but our place is very quiet too
Still I see Mr and Mrs C have been making the odd comment :)
May be holidays combined with the F1 break and no news whatever. I have been trawlling the news sites trying to find something for people to discuss and there is nothing
At least we can make up our own fun .. we don't need mickey mouse stories
I wish I could remember who but someone made a brilliant comment on that subject yesterday. They said that they put the Hi in hiatus. They certainly seem a bit happier than they were. I am sure things will be back to normal soon.
Last night Mr C said that Giggles Made-up Media will return so that is a good sign
Cool. Yeah I guess it's also dinner time
Rallying looks fun .. may see about going to the British event
Since things are quiet I should post a couple of sidepodradio plugs.
Nikki came up with a great idea for a show last night. We have people all over the world so it would be interesting if people left a voicemail about their part of the world and Nikki and a volunteer she is looking for can link them together for the show.
Details at http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Travels+in+Sidepodland Feel free to say anything you like about your part of the world that deserves a mention or if you have spent time in another part of the world mention that. Nikki said she spent 4 years in Japan so she is doing that as well as here part of Canada
Get out in a forest and see it. It really is great fun. There are not as many competitive cars as there used to be but on the GB rally there will be 100 ish cars. The atmosphere is great
Blimey, I can't think what's exciting about the Midlands :LOL: .. sorry to any native Brummies
There must be some landmark or restaurant or zoo or anything. The voicemails are mostly going to be about a minute long I would think.
I have also suggested that after sidepodradio day we create a wiki page then in future people can add their bit.
Second sidepodradio plug. Startledbunny is offering to help anyone who needs it with editing etc. If you need help then you can find him at http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/thread/3134454/Help
I suppose there must. I'm not a fan of the area though
I thought there may be a few people around just now looking for a live show but apparently not.
If there is somewhere else you have spent some time you could do that.
Maybe the uninviting (sorry Christine) front page makes them think it's not worth hanging about?
I never use the front page now. I just assumed that some people would turn up out of habit. I guess they all realised there was no show.
If anyone is lurking, Steven and I don't bite .. come join us
I know Christine has asked Mr C to modify the front page. Franck turned up and couldn't find her e-mail addres on it and she is not prepared to risk that happening again
Am watching the first of Alex's shows
Pure genius!
Really, not I heart Franck, Franck?
am currently lurking, just cause i'm 1/2 way through making a huge photo collage on one of my walls in my room :D
Not got round to that yet *blush*
There are always lurkers but some people don't like commenting. Those who have popped in for one or two comments tend to keep commenting.
We have had a few de-lurk this week to say nice things about the site and the management so I am sure we wil get a few more of those. They are always appreciated. No doubt we will get a few over the next couple of days asking why their podcast never showed up
Hey Lou, did you go to Londonium to see Jens?
Yes. He found iheartfranck.com then followed the link here. He eventually found the wiki and joined up then sent Christine a message.
*waves*
I am still here but its 3.30am and I should be asleep.
no :( last night mum said she would wake me up and take me to the station... but she didn't.. i think she only said that so i would go to sleep :P sneaky mother :P
Hola
Very entertaining, you should
For any lurkers Lou doesn't bite either but if you are in any way relatedto Jenson Button she will get Chris to punch you.
i thought you went to sleep... you must be shattered..
Those shows are fabulous.
Have you tried working the night shift?
Well, suppose I better de-lurk. Hi everyone, I'm RG.
Why am I totally shocked you are here. Oh wait. I am not shocked
oddly enough I don't like the late shift at work because if I do it I sleep til lunchtime then go to work, then come home and go to bed and thus see none of the day. I actually like the early shifts because I like finishing early. Although I do normally come home and have a nap :D
Hi RG
Welcome to sidepodcast
Gee, only RG what's happened to all the "extras" after your name?
ahaha! no i really wont...but chris may punch you of his own accord to get your attention.. :)
I am reading about conspiracy theories that I don't believe, trying to work out why anyone would be stupid enough to believe things that have been debunked by science.
hehehe i love that lots of regulars end up lurking anyway :) what's everyone up to then, other than lurking? ;)
I went to slimline the business. Basically, if I get a business card, I don't have to change it every thirty seconds.
Managing some obscure Swedish team on Football Manager.
People rarely use logical thought. Most people will believe the first version of something they hear.
:D
Playing Peggle online. Have already decided it's a must-have App
what's peggle?
Not much. Scanning the net and playing stupid games. Had the doohickey open and decided I would pop in just in case anyone turned up for a live show to explain what was happening or not happening to them
Absolutely NOTHING.
I hate Sundays sometimes.
I bought it a couple of weeks back .. think I got 75% off
Good question. Never heard of it either
You dont wanna know, or you shall get sucked into it's addictiveness
Well if you are that bored would you mind putting a comment on our guest bloggers first guest post
A fantastic pinball-ish game
What's the url?

You are your own guest blogger?
I guess I should have read beyond your name before I said that
No .. I tried to explain. It's Newdutchstar but I don't know how to give him an account of his own so that'll have to wait till the boss gets back
Video of jenson after the traihtlon on BBC if it hasn't been posted
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8180469.stm
Blimey I am so stuffed, I just finished the other half of that curry I bought last night. It was great but groan, I ate too much
someone just sent me a link to an article by the daily mail online, where they refer to Jenson as 'Benson' alot... :s !!!
i ♥ that video :)
not that that's a surprise...
The video was great, thanks Lukeh
For someone who is thirsty he sure talks a lot
Thanks Steven
I enjoyed it but I have a safety fixation so anything like this apeals to me. It's amazing in the earliest times covered that more drives die than were injured. That was new to me
I'm still watching Dave .. now they are on big motorsports crashes. wow
I have never had much interest in those sort of things. I have seen a few videos and programs on them but it doesn't do anything for me.
Me neither .. right now it's 7 ton trucks .amazing
Who knew taking a weekend off was so exhausting?
Wotcha been up to?
Monster trucks?
Today we went to a safari park and then for dinner.
I was upset at the lack of pandas, but Mr C says that would be a funny sort of safari.
What are you exhausted with?
Did you get my comment on your last iheartfranck post?
Safari is African. Not many pandas in Africa
He has a point though :)
I did. More Franckage :)
That's what he said! They did have an Asian bit though, but it was just full of deer type things with horns.
Franck at Laguna Seca should be interesting. I hope Audi confirm for both races or the Peugeots will just disappear into the distance
What kind of person would choose deer type things with horns over pandas? Don't they want people to go?
I know. On the way home we discussed the idea of Sidepodsafaripark, which would have added panda, penguin and polar bear. It really would be an odd type of safari.
Also, I seem to like animals that begin with P.
Hey all, just got online on iPhone since my laptop charging cable is still not working at the moment. Have had an awesome day at Snetterton. :D
New game, how many animals can you think of starting with the letter P?
Peacock, Parrot,
Puffin
Pterodactyl
Platypus
The good thing is those are all animals people go to see and you have none of the hangers on like deer and antelopes and the like.
You need a lion or tiger type thing as well. Got it. Pumas.
I reckon three more kinds of animal and you are more or less ready to open.
Trust Lukeh :D
Two not nice ones - python and piranha.
Peacock
Peahen
It begins with p! :P
Piggies, Pyhranna
Persian Cat
Snakes are good for business.
Poodle?
Puppies
Pilotfish.
You can't put poodles in a sidepodsafari park. Who is going to drive miles to see wild poodles?
paper tiger?
Haha
Is that real?
Puff adder
Depends how wild they are
Puffer fish!!! I love them!
Well there are all those teams who Max said were going to enter F1 and they have nothing better to do now
Polar bear
That was what I meant to type but somehow the snake popped up and the fish was gone
Pigmy hippo?
Parrot, Parrotfish
Porcupines, Porpoise & Possums
Possums are cool
How wild can a poodle be?
There's always Lukeh's pigeon
Pelican
After a few tequilas, who knows
you'd waste a tequila on a poodle?
Porpoises would be good. A nice aquarium with live shows would be good for business
It's not good for anything else, unless I've been poisoned and need to empty my stomach
Portugese man of war
Maybe you could give two poodles tequila and have them fight
Praying Mantis are a bit freaky, not sure I'd want one of them staring at me from my windscreen
Not entirely sure that's legal but...
Ptarmigan - pretty boring though
We saw two giraffes fighting. Their necks were bizarrely bendy.
Laptop charging cable is somehow working again! :D
You suggested giving them tequila in the first place
Another fact that may turn out to be a falacy.
Giraffes, suposedly, have the same amount of vetabrae in their necks as humans
I have no proof to back this up, am pretty sure I didn't read it from GMM though
The males do that. Very odd. You have to wonder after millions of years of evolution an animal exists whose main weapon is its neck.
:lol:
Channel 4 did that on one of their animal autopsy things a couple of weeks ago. Huge long bones but exactly the same number as us.
Time for din dins, I'm hungry
Enjoy
hi there. any news today? or just another 24hs on these 4 weeks ...?
No news at all guille. It's been a very quiet day here. I have gone through a few of th news sites and there isnothing at all.
there is an article in keith's site about piquet being dropped, but nowhere else, not even autosport. I guess is (unmentionable news agency) at this point
Journeyer said he had seen something last night but when we went looking for it we could not even find a gmm story.
Top Gear time.
Piquet says nothing on twitter also ;-)
I wouldn't be surprised by him being dropped (or even not being dropped), but yeah, at this point I'll consider it a rumour
Last Top Gear of the series already?
yup.
They were by A1GP crates....
That's all you can do
Yes so I guess the Debrief goes back to 7pm now
goes to 11!!! LUKEH!!
I like this episode
you need to go to Berlin Zoo!
We are coming to this conclusion.
what about london zoo? surely they have pandas in london zoo?
Edinburgh Zoo is supposed to be getting two pandas next year
there are no pandas in London :(
otherwise honestly I would have live broadcast from there.
oh noes! :(
it's very upsetting :(
we were discussing that too.
i think berlin must have the closest panda until edinburgh gets one, but we believe it's a failing of google maps, that you cannot put in your location and get directions to the nearest panda.
something like pandafinder.google.com, perhaps in a handy iPhone application
No wonder Microsoft think it is wort getting involved with Yahoo
Mr C - get on that now please.
Edinburgh Zoo info on pandas. I say info loosely
http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/about/FAQs/GiantPandas/index.html
He is just going to say the nearest panda is on the doohickey
oh no, what I've done... :-)
Not particularly interesting, but we have written a blog post: http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/08/02/the-future-of-sidepodcast/
In more important news, the next Giggles show is coming very shortly.
If you watch Hammond's hair over the last three series you can see a trend. He is going to end up with the full Tina Turner in two years.
Yay the cool wall :)
Wow, this final piece is just...wow.
...and the song's called "An Ending" by Brian Eno, by the way.
Now that's how you end a series.
that was quite spectacular
a cheap political point is a great way to end a series? Half the show was a Volkswagen advert then that.
indeed. it did end a bit out of nowhere, tho. :O
It dosent matter what it was for, it was just awesome
Don't know why but I've a feeling it meant something other than what Jeremy was saying. Like, for some strange reason Top Gear wasn't going to be made any more and they wanted to go out with something memorable and meaningful. Probably just me on that one
It's the BBC. That program should be the subject of an enquiry. all that advertising for VW then that at peak time on the BBC.
It was a political stunt.
Well Lewis was supposed to do a lap this week for the next series, so it definitely wasn;t the end.
That was rather sneaky, wasn't it? They might get a slap on the wrist, but probably nothing more.
It dosent really matter to me, it was great tv.
Only thing i cared about (from their pov) is that they had swearing before 9pm, they'll be picked up for that.
Wasn't it bleeped out?
He was expressing his opinion, and he does have a bit of a point there. Why was it a stunt, though?
Top Gear in trying to act controversial shocker
;)
Not where i was sitting
What part of the show was that? I'm referring to the bit at the Cool Wall.
In the board room when James was showing his advert the guy said it was (swear)
Ohhh. It was different. Hmmm. Must've missed that. Yeah, they'll get picked up for that.
Brace yourselves, people of SPC. My pic with Ted is coming up on drop.io very soon. :P
Where did you meet him?
Snetterton, at the BTCC today :D
Which, as I said, was an awesome day. Will definately do a blog post.
Thought as much :D
Good evening.
I am now catching up.
Dun dun duuuuuuuuuun!
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/img-0130-jpg
:D He is a legend in person. He even liked my iPhone! :D
Awesome!
woooop
Evening all. Yay for Ted! Yay for sidepodcast! Anything else I missed?
O.M.G!
Superb :-)
WOW!
If you stuck Mr C in a room with Ted and Christine in a room with Rob, which would be funnier?
I have brought about the use of capitals from Mr C! Fantastic :D
you've made my day sir.
Would anyone like to tell me whats wrong wth this you tube video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN7RR70g4Ug
Glad to hear that :)
looks like s'stone.
I didn't know Snetterton had Copse. :P
Yep, was about to say the same thing
ding ding ding. 20 points to that man.
i mean come on! how can you not know what circuit you're at!!! or even what county you are in!!
Circuit I an agree but not so much counties. I haven't a flippin' clue what county silverstone or snetterton or anywhere is to be honest.
Fair enough, but you'd recognise the time difference travelling between them if you were in a car ;)
I'll leave you now. Good news about the future of SPC. Bye
bye!
Evening all :)
Hi Alison.
hey :)
You go see Jenson then?
She didn't get because her mother promised to wake her then didn't
Boooooo :(
what??
hi alison.
i know! she said she would wake me up early and take me to the station so i didn't set my alarm or anything, and she didn't wake me up! she thought i needed the sleep. :(
So what did your mum get you to do this afternoon that you wouldn't have been able to do if you were in London?
My turn to be annoyed - "Man on Wire" on after Top Gear and I didn't know.
Hello!! How are you?
iPlayer?
Meant to watch that actually... hope it is on there...
erm... nothing much, i cleaned my room, and continued with my large photo collage on my wall... but she wants me to do loads of work this week :(
Just watched most of it. I had never heard of it or his little stroll. Great program though
unlikely as it's a film.
iPlayer has had docu-films on it before
very good thankyou. we got your message yesterday too cheers. just missed you, but much appreciated.
maybe it will be repeated on bbc three or something?
Good good. Glad you guys are feeling better.
I've spent my evening being "converted" :S
what to?
Now you've mentioned it, you have to explain. :P
assimilation complete?
Did it hurt?
It's already on the iplayer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00m0mbt/Man_on_Wire/
Yay!
great. that's excellent news.
I just watched it on BBC2. Very good.
So yeah, finally doing the comment-catch-up I was on about earlier.
Am amazed to find the whole of SPC was eating curry last night :-)
twas bassano's fault.
I had fish and chips.
My head does....
Evening all. Holiday is going great, played water polo, football and shot an air pistol today. Won a cocktail for the missus and had a romantic dinner. Holiday is ace so far! Goodnight!
Woooo! I'm off cycling on Tuesday with my bf. We're carrying camping gear on our bikes. It's gonna be pretty hardcore :(
I have a strange question for SPC... but you shall see...
Does anyone know if there's a name for those red and yellow childrens buggy-car things? Like.. the ones you can sit in when you're a child, they always seem to be red and yellow... I realise the explanantion is horrific but surely someone knows what I mean? Tis finding impossible to find a picture of something so prominent...
Awesome!
I know what you mean but i dunno what its called
Little Tikes Cosy Coupé
*not here*
Cozy Coupe http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=Little-Tikes-Cozy-Coupe&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
Yeah, but what a great idea it was
Woot! You guys rock.
Now back to wanting o... I mean, photoshop. I dunno which is worse.
agreed!
They're made by Little Tikes if that helps you find them
Oh, I'm slow.....
Massa is doing his first interview since his accident tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what h says but I guess it will be the usual thanks to everyone.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77525
I think everyone will have to keep an eye on this flying off the shelves this winter.
Whether that be from people buying them or them just going off the shelves in various fashions is another question.
That's great. Our youngest (at the time of writing) would love that.
I was thinking of going but it clashes with F1 at Monza. Until recently this was a bad thing, but I'm thinking the latter might turn into the old annual lovefest for a certain unnamed person so perhaps I wouldn't mind so much if I recorded and watched later...
Morning all.
I think the words you're searching for are "Get well soon Felipe"?
I doubt the docs will let him race as soon as that.
I honestly think he'll be back by Singapore (near enough 2 months from his accident)
we'll probably get some more information tomorrow when Felipe gives his interview! :) (i'm very happy about him coming out tomorrow!)
he's coming out? has he told his mum?
He has two skull fractures and an injury to the frontal lobe of his brain. Much as I am desperate to see him get back in his car I ould be surprised if he raced again this season.
#
Was waiting for a reply like this :P
you know what i mean :(
I for one am happy that he ate some chicken.... and also a banana.
There are some mighty odd quote opportunities in that article http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77434
:D
hehe just messing :D
I think all he will say is thanks to the circuit, the hospital, his team and the fans who have sent stuff. I would be amazed if we got the slightest indication of when he will be back.
The one thing that is certain is he will want to get back in the car this season so that he doesn't spend the winter answering inane questions about how confident he is that he will still want to race and still be capable.
Do you think he's worried about Fernando running off with his race seat?
No. Both Ferrari drivers have contracts for next year and there is no way Alonso would be allowed near a Ferrari without a 2010 contract.
Mark-webber-esq
Contracts mean nothing in F1, you know that
Exactly.
I remember when Niki Lauda signed for McLaren after 3 years away. From the day it was announced until the first race he was bombarded with questions about whether or not he would be th same driver after his near fatal accident and he had won a championship the year after that accident.
I am confident that the Ferrari drivers won't change next season just as I would confident a year ago.
Evening everybody!
So all my radio is up now! Oh my goodness ;)
I'm loving your Dr Giggles segments. The last one made me cry with laughter (and sadness for Amy)
you can't imagine how difficult it was to get all of those celebrity interviews ;)
you've raised the bar too high for us :(
You think Kimi's up for it?
it would be easier for you, you have an affinity with Ted ;)
I am being told I have to go now. Night everyone!
not this much affinity though.
I loved the last phone call. Can't wait for the nex show to find out what happened
Absolutely. If they give him a car that suits him he is still as good as he ever was
Oh my word!! I'v just found the Broken Sword!! I haven't seen this in years.
I think I'm coming to realise that my dad really wanted me to be a boy....
Is that a euphamism or something?
If I'm thinking what I think you mean then awesome!!!!
I love Broken Sword :D
?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Sword
?
Like proper old-school point and click computer game about a murderous clown? Hell yeah....
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!! *high fives*
:D
I knew this would happen - somebody sneaked in some sidepodradio.
I hope I will be able to go back to listen to this later today??
The shows are all pre-rords so they are just like any other show. They are on the site for anyone at any time
pre-records
WooHoo!
I suppose Giggles "fixed this"?
Yep. Thats the one. it's just an old series of games like Alison says that were just immense. I grew up playing these games, Point and Click adventures, (Broken Sword, Monkey island, Grim Fandango, sam and max, beneath a steel sky) and always makes me smile when someone mentions them because noone seemed to play them despite how hilariously brilliant they were. :)
Ahh I miss point and click games.
He is on holiday so he had sent his shoes in ahead of time and they were so good the management decided to put them ups as a sort of compensation for sidepodradio being postponed
Impressive. So what is he wearing on his feet now?
Have you tried Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People (SBCG4AP) yet? Seriously recommend it.
Shows I assume
Nope. I have seen it, the guys behind it made a new Monkey Island and Sam & Max but I havent had the time to check that out on my wii :(
He may be "bear" foot on the beach. hehe.
Yep, they did. Telltale games seem to be the only ones doing point and click games at the mo, but they do it so well!
:D
They do :)
Away from Telltale, the first broken sword game (which I'm assuming is what Alison just found) was recently remade for the DS. Fantastic port as well because it suits the Ds wonderfully :D
Theres a moth in my room!!! I think it's working its way around sidepodhouses
I had a big moth in mine 2 weeks ago... so i think you may be right, it may be touring the sidepodcommunity :(
So the sidepodcast community has moths. I guess we should all get photos and compare.
I think it heard you, it's obviously not photogenic..it flew away
It took Giggles two day to get a photo
i don't tend to get that many moths in my room cause i close my windows/ close the curtains before i turn the light on... we get loads of butterflies in our house though :D
They what?? Oh my word.... Don't tell me things like this. I'll waste even more of my life doing pointless things like this. I'm sure my 12 year old self that could play this game was much smarter than I am now because I got very stuck very quickly :(
Mini me?
