Morning all. Today is the day that Dom Perignon supposedly invented champagne way back in 1693. I wonder what the podium ceremonies would be like if that had never happened. We have replacement champagne these days but what if the bubbles had never been invented in the first place? Anyway, on to some of the goings on in Sidepodland:
- There's been a blogging frenzy recently with James' experience of watching a Grand Prix with no internet. (Does not compute.) Plus Lukeh has shared some of his favourite liveries. I love this idea, and want to know everyone else's favourite paint jobs as well.
- Meanwhile, over on the wiki, there's talk of another Sidepodshow, this time dreamed up by Nikki and Steven. As we have visitors from all over the globe, it seems only fair that we share our travel tips about where we live, to help anyone else who might visit. So get involved, tell us where you live, and share your travel pointers.
- And in F1 news, Piquet issued a statement confirming he is no longer driving for Renault, with some scathing remarks for Briatore. It wasn't really a surprise, but I think perhaps it illuminated some of the things Piquet Jr has had to put up with. He may have more sympathisers now than he had before.
That should keep you going for a while. If not, feel free to share your thoughts on things F1 related, and not so much. I'll see you in the comments.
Hello gang... and Tuesday
I had nothing to do with it. This was 100% Nikki's idea.
Hi.
I've been having interesting discussions about blog names on Twitter.
Hi Bassano
it can't be tuesday already! :(
Just on Piquet... did I miss a Renault press release? 'Cos I didn't see one reported.
fraid so.
hi gang
Apparently i have just volunteered my self to learn how to motocross...
Considering my experience extends as far as a 50cc scooter, and this is a 250cc motocross bike, it should be interesting...
I have only seen his rant
Any good ones?
How did you manage to do that?
Lots of padding needed
Ah yes, regarding Flav the Executioner
Would've been funnier if he'd called him Flav the Impaler
Flav the destroyer?
I got my mate into F1 and he watches most races now, but he is into MX, which apparently i dont watch enough.
So i have apparently got to learn how to ride this thing in his back garden this week, then take it out on track... hopefully ending up with me watching lots of MX
Book your spot in casualty now, reduce the waiting time on the day
Well I was commenting about how I've fallen out of love with my blog name. People have come on and said how they feel the same about theirs.
Just a shared moment for precious and needy writers :-)
Although I do like The Furious Wedge.
That is quite genius, what's it about?
The reason you do not watch enough is because it sucks.
Yes....
He does have an awesome x-ray though, he broke his collar bone, but they didn't want to take the body armour off until they knew what the damage was, so he looks like the terminator...
IndyCar racing and baseball.
Angry Chef's who like cooking potato based food
Would it not be better just to offer to watch some before you kill yourself?
And you're taking advice from this person?
Oh and American Football.
Or underpant based retribution
They do have some awesome racing, and this season has been really good as a eurpean guy has gone over to the states and bacicly started beating them all, which as annoyed them as the US series is supposed to be far superior to the European one.
They have insane 4 bike battles for positions. Its like moto gp with 10 times the overtaking.
Or a killer move in the Octagon
I do watch it, but apparently i am not into it enough, and this is a skill which 'could come in handy'.
They only context i can see that being true is if i am escaping from Zee Germans.
I was mentioned in the daily post, I wasn't expecting that. Thanks Christine :)
Oooh a new blog, didnt know about that... have subscribed ;)
Ditto!
:-D
I struggle to get into bikes or anything on dirt. Just isn't for me I suppose.
I guess i am the same, i enjoy it when i remember to watch it, but i dont bother reading up on it when its not going on so i often miss races unless i am reminded
Lunch preparation beckons
I shall return
You in Canada again?
Can I shamelessly plug? I am 1
It is a bit wordy for late at night. I just wanted to write something.
I don't mind the dirt. I just like it with a roll cage, helmet, and someone to talk to... :P
I thought they were supposed to talk to you, not the other way round?
Just tweeted the link.
You know those moments where you think someones a girl (due to their name) and it turns out to be a guy...
Yeah...just had one of those moments..
Extremely bad times
Oops.
ouch...
Tomorrow's lunch
Actually, as I'm on lates, it's more like dinner but a meal break at work still should be called lunch!
Bugger
i've just found an online racing game which i'm really really bad at (no surprise really) sadly it means i'll probably be up ages trying to get better at it...
I am the other guy. Some drivers talk to you a bit, some are infuriatingly quiet even during transport stages
totally managed to confuse myself, as all my worlds collided. don't know if this has been mentioned, but massa made it to brazil.
i found that linked from the geekiest of geek sites and for some reason assumed the picture was of a programmer who looked a little like felipe (it was a thumbnail).
Wow, missed this one from earlier
@sidepodcast:
looking into online laws relating to intimidation and false representation. a certain syndicated f1 news agency wants to play hardball.
!!
Sounds like a certain 'news' website is gonna have some angry fans on their hands soon
You're a co-driver? Willing to be strapped in next to a nutter flying between trees? You're a braver man than I!!
Link?
Ouch!
Post the link
no worries. simply catching up with emails sent to us during the hiatus.
am also assuming that the timing of the emails were not coincidental (kick us while we're down, maybe?)
You say 'fans' ?
Brilliant, 2 thumbs up! Hopefully he will be back on that plane soon!
Of the sport, not the made-up media place - natch!
Gonna? I assume you have not seen twitter over the last couple of days
http://www.matica.com/free-flash-games/41/formula-1-gp-flash-game.html
i'm so bad at it, it's hilarious.. i like being able to drive the brawn though :) i may see if the red bull is any different... :P
At least they got his good side ;)
ah glad we sorted that out :D
Makes me think of the Donald SInden trying to get a knighthood sketch from Spitting Image: "I have a petition here signed by myself several thousand times..."
On and off whilst mobile, seems I've missed quite a bit then
poor Felipe....
I found this driving game a while ago. If you win a lot and make lots of money you can by a Brawn. It'snot a great game tbh and even the Brawn is not great to drive on it but some people here may want to drive one.

Morning all.
Hi Sean
Hi Sean
I so bad at this! Mental note: pressing opposite keys doesn't help
I don't think it is.
Hi Sean
am starting to think that too..... i seem to be rubbish in all the cars...
I tried it an I am hopeless. Tried th McLaren but it was no better
I found the racing game that Lukeh was playing was better. New Star GP is it's name. There's a free version.
its not it's
It's: belonging to it
No?
Tweet from Jaun Pablo, of Formula Juan Fame:
frank williams call me this morning to say hi. It was very special talking to him again. he is a very nice guy..and no I'm not going to f1.
i'm off to sleep now, goodnight everyone who is still awake :) x
See ya Lou
is there any chance he said:
"we needs you to put schumi in his place again?"
The problem is the game. Games where you have the driver's view are much better than games where you have the overhead view.
Night Lou
sees ya.
hehe, or "how can i give Kaz some latin fire?"
Or maybe he is heading for NASCAR....?
*cough*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urAzPF6Yw8w
nights!
Night Lou
Night.
I thought I got 2nd in the race but it gave me another lap, which I thought I'd won, but then it gave me another lap. I got confused and left it.
hehe, thats brilliant, never seen that before!
tis one of my favourite clips, and i love Jensons response :D
and on that bombshell i bid thee farewell.
♥
PK just tweeted in Portuguese... i translated it and it came up with something very odd which i wont repeat here.
i think he was thanking all the other brazilain drivers on twitter for their support
night jon.
I remember that
JPM was outspoken in a good way back then and pulled off a few moves that made you sit up and take notice
Now, he just seems bitter
G'night Jon
step awaaayy from google translator
Mine too!
Night Jon.
Might be a good idea!
Night
DM's Nikki on twitter to tell her she got a mention for her show on the daily post. It was her idea. I had nothing to do with it. She is away from her PC just now but said startledbunny is going to help her with the show.
So all that is needed is for people to sign up at the wiki and leave a short voicemail. http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Travels+in+Sidepodland
We still have slots available if anyone has a show idea or would like to be on a show. Have a look at the wiki and book your slot. http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Sidepodradio
Night to everyone who is leaving
I'm off for the night as well, see ya.
See ya Pat
Night.
You're telling me he just randomly called JPM? Hmmm... :D
Morning, everyone.
Hey Journeyer
night/morning everyone
Greetins Guille
Frank is going to NASCAR!
Haha! Let's see if someone tries to sell that rumor. :P
are we the 'night shift'? ;-)
news for today (besides the confirmation for piquet)? I really liked to hear massa on tv again.
and I'm very glad of seeing SPC up and running again!
That's pretty much it, guille. It's actually pretty eventful for a summer break, tho.
I guess we are :)
It makes sense... plus i tweeted JPM about it and he has kept very quiet about it...
I remember the last show before Hungary when Christine said 'Hungary and 4 weeks of break, these are going to be 6 weeks without F1 news' :-)
But why would FW go to NASCAR? That would be very risky, to say the least. Isn't he struggling with funds as it is for his F1 team?
Heheh. Looking back, that was so wrong. :D
NASCAR would be cheaper, they would love to steal a team away from F1and the amount of publicity that would get would make finding sponsors very easy....
I have read some odd stuff here in the past but this takes the biscuit. Williams wn't go to NASCAR
NASCAR's only cheaper if you decide to buy your cars from someone else (like Hendrick or Roush). You know... customer cars, the very thing Williams opposes. :D
Also, can they fund both their NASCAR and F1 efforts? That'd be very hard, to say the least.
Thank you, Steven. :D
well my theory was that if certain agency's read this site, they might be sourcing their stories from here too, and if i can make this seem realistic enough they might pick it up...
well, why didn't you say so? :P although we would've needed a newspaper's support to get it out there. ;)
When I come back after being away I should read all the comments before I post. Did anyone say Toyota connection to NASCAR
well if i said so then it wouldnt work!
Nope, but there's a good point. :D
Who would he take with him to pair with JPM, Nico or Nakajima? The second can bring sponsors ans crashes, a perfect combination for NASCAR!
Maybe if Mr C edits this a bit we can still get it to work ;)
It's all true. Jackie Stewart was at this weeks Indy car race. Williams are merging with ganassi and will be in f1 Indy and NASCAR next year with Honda engines
Williams-Ganassi. With Nico in F1, Danica in IndyCar, and JPM in NASCAR. That is HUGE.
I also got no denial from montoya
Oh god, its late! bed for me... Night all :D
G'night Nick
night nick
Night Nick. ;)
time to sleep. bye!
good morning.
I haven't been in a rally car properly for nearly 5 years. How long can I milk past glories?
Hello sidepodcast ppl!
Why didn't Brawn get penalised for the spring that hit Massa?
Forever I would have thought, just make it seem like last week.
I tell people I race cars, although "racing" is stretching things a bit.
Probably because it was a failure on the car while on track. This happens often. It was just very unfortunate it hit Massa. Renault, on the other hand, sent Alonso back on track, knowing the wheel had not been safely attached.
I had a 65+ ex-racing driver take me around Oran Park last week in my race car, then we swapped seats. I'm not sure who was braver: him or me!
Afternoon all.
Morning Sean.
It's raining!
Alex, you're radio stuff (so far) is fantastic. Well done!
thank you very much. You're very kind.
I wish it was raining here. It wasn't rained in too long.
we have a toddler with us. That and the rain doesn't work well.
Hmm. Not good.
toddlers, rain coats a puddles = fun! (for them anyway)
it must be approaching the rainier part of the year?
Hungary + 4 weeks off + Valencia should = boring.
Sadly I was very wrong.
we did that yesterday!
Today we're thinking the hays motor museum might be a winner
http://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/home/index.html
hehe. I hope for your sake they have hands on. ;-)
his favourite thing is red cars. I think he may explode!
Haha :D
much to the chagrin of his father who likes bikes not cars and is a rossi fan.
Hmmm. Need to start painting things blue
Does he like Roary?
oooooh yes!
And also the car out of cars which I can't remember the name of.
And bob the builder and Garfield. He must have watched the first Garfield movie with Bill Murray about 70 times.
Lightning McQueen!!
I mean, you know, whatever. :)
You were made to do movie reviews.
Hahahhahahahahahha :)
Hahahahaha! Just hilarious.
Morning, everyone. :D
Good evening.
Just got my new F1 Racing, I see Heikki doesn't want to ban refuelling. Have I ever mentioned how much I like that wee Finn?
The best car in Cars is clearly Guido
PEET STOP?
Every single day. ;)
:D
just once or twice
I worry that now Dr Giggles was proven right about Piquet the very next day what may happen to Heikki!
I think Dr Giggles is spot on about that too. :(
I think Heikki will be fine... for now.
I shall just enjoy 2009 while it lasts :)
that he's with Amy now? ;)
Won't you enjoy Heikki at Williams in 2010?
As much as sticking hot pokers in my eyes.
I just wanted a signed Heikki!
At least he'd still be in F1, right?
Not in McLaren is bad but in Williams...there is no team that I dislike more.
:)
i (heart) heikki.
Good morning... I finaly agree to go motorcossing then the next morning some moto gp rider goes and breaks his ankle doing it...
Right after his brilliant race at Donington, too. Shame.
Ross Brawn facing driving ban.
straight-line testing?
Dunno. But apparently when questioned by police officers he said "blah blah blah."
Nick fry doesnt think ferrarri can win any races, but will take pointsof their rivals.
More importantly he is jumping around on sailing boats at cowes week wearing a brawn jacket...
3 F1 stories! SkySportsNews has gone F1 mad
:P :D
:D
http://www.autosport.com/news/grapevine.php/id/77546
Autosport has him doing 61mph more....
This is starting to look like a bad Mercedes publicity stunt!
161
61 more than the originally reported 100.
I am job hunting... Their are some really really really really bad jobs on offer at the moment.
I cant stress how boring some of them sound...
Is that actually possible. On the A30? Me thinks Autosport will be doing a hasty re-edit of that article very soon!
Name them! :D
ooh thats rather quick.
I am going though the civil service list they sent me... I need a filter to remove any job that includes the words -Information -Data -YouthJustice -Benefit
depends when, if it was clear then its possible
Its possible on the bit of A30 near me, not easy, but possible.
Just realised i am not in devon
100 I could understand. But 161 is just utterly stupid and he deserves a ban.
Has Ross ever been the reckless type?
Although, 100mph is roughtly 160km/h, maybe they just have their units wrong?
-Improvement -Vision
Very good point, Amy.
His beard says yes to me.
But seriously, 91mph over the limit (if true) is just completely selfish and downright stupid.
isnt that like all jobs??
This is the job title, not the description! ;)
I have droppioed a picture of a road sign to Frome for Lou!
I was down there last week, caravan after caravan was overturning - I'd have been pleased with 16 mph at one point, never mind 160.
Gonna? I assume you have not seen twitter over the last couple of days {Comment #59}
I think Bassano meant there would be more angry fans on the syndicate's case...
Its all very quiet... how about a game!
#Unlikely F1 teams:
Greggs Grand Prix
Tumblr is ridiculously easy to use! Love it. Have updated: http://weheartalex.tumblr.com/
I worry that now Dr Giggles was proven right about Piquet the very next day what may happen to Heikki! {Comment #175}
At least Heikki will probably get a place somewhere else should he lose the McLaren seat without needing to get his chequebook out.
just checked and autosport says:
"The team boss was reportedly driving a Mercedes-Benz at 100mph on a road"
i think you're right.
ah there ya go, they changed it :D
I finaly agree to go motorcossing then the next morning some moto gp rider goes and breaks his ankle doing it… {Comment #187}
You've got to be impressed by someone who breaks his ankle and declares it a mere "inconvenience". Get well soon, Randy!
what else can we do with tumblr...
Is this #UnlikelyF1teams or #F1teamsthatwouldbeawesome?
i'm going to say the latter :D

http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/07/0731_rejected_iphone_apps/15.htm
I WANT this app. I would buy an iphone just for this app
apple are getting so much bad press from the appstore debacle, and deservedly so.
am thinking doohickey should just remain as a webapp.
what happened?
The NewsonF1clock i won as a prize for that twitter quiz the other week has arrived from Australia! :D
they blocked the google voice app. but won't say whether at&t requested it be pulled, which would be ridiculous because it's not available here either. or whether they're simply arbitrarily blocking applications they feel are too competitive to their business model.
They are usually very clear when an app duplicates a native function of the iPhone
Like Mobile Safari or Mail for example.
AT&T seem to have far too much input into the approval process but are denying it
drop.io?
ah ok, dosent sound great
The New Microsoft...
Its just a matter of time untill the business brains take over from the tech people and the software starts to glide....
As long as Steve Jobs is around, they'll be fine. But once he leaves, they'll struggle even more than MS has struggled post-Gates.
Will do later, currently trying to find gainful employment!
Apple have always been a bit protectionist over their gear.
It's why the machines work so much better than PCs as a whole. They're not designing software for a 'puter built by any number of OEMs
it's a difficult analogy. we haven't really experienced anything like this before, at least not on such a scale. there will be growing pains all around.
it would help if handset manufacturers could bring out a decent android handset. the OS is good enough to complete, but the phones are all shoddy.
The problems often start before that, its the shareholders.
The company is legally obliged to make as much money as it can, and in the process of optimizing a massively successful company, they often lose the characteristics which made the company successful in the first place...
Google's desktop OS will be interesting
there is a bit of that too. you could also argue, google has lots to gain from such controversy.
Which may be why they announced the iTunes Store rejection?
Also true
i don't think google can pull off a good user experience. look at the design of google.com. it's awful. the OS will likely appeal to geeks, but will it gain traction?
didn't google.com first become popular because of its design - the sheer simplicity of it?
Hey, Mr C, sounds like we need to start out mediafuturechange show asap :)
almost certainly. but apple are getting heaps of bad press right now, regardless.
For me, it gained my vote by being good
it could be much better though. google docs are awful to look at and use.
heheh. very soon :)
for me it was the speed.
Amen to that!
afternoon everyone :)
Yet market share of sales and OS users is on the rise
The smart phone market is becoming like that of the mp3. Dominated by Apple
I think if you slap a google logo on a netbook it will sell better than an unbranded version of Ubuntu...
If they take over that end of the spectrum successfully, who knows where they could get to...
maybe we need a tumblelog to start with?
in a way, though, apple seem to weather these moments better than MS does. has it significantly stemmed the flow of people wanting to get a 3GS, for example?
indeed. i don't really use it much. about the only google stuff i use are the search engine and gmail.
I can do that.
to early to say. it's only the geeks getting riled at the moment.
wait until spotify gets rejected...
Apple never dominated the mp3 market though...
they just had the most visable 5%
hmmm... we shall see...
you don't think it will?
mp3 players, I meant
true, but now everyone is trying to copy/beat Apple. i think that shows how Apple is dominating this industry at the moment. in mindshare too, when you say mp3 player, most people first think of the iPod.
don't know enough about spotify to have a proper opinion (probably because we won't be able to use it here even if it is allowed).
Damn this interesting conversation, work beckons :)
Later folks
fair enough. i think it out-itunes' itunes. therefore it'll be thrown out.
see ya sir.
Ah yes...
The problem with smart phones is that the tech advances far quicker then the contract sales model they want to use
yes. on the wrong website :)
we got work to do.
looking at it now, here's what i think - if Apple allowed Yahoo Launchcast, it's possible they allow Spotify too. but again, not sure if i know enough about this to make a proper opinion.
Does Last.fm have an iPhone app?
:D
very good point.
yes. but it doesn't allow for offline listening of tunes. spotify does.
i believe they do. but i could be wrong. but i do remember seeing something about it on their site.
You know there's no doohickey on the tumblog right? :)
ahhhh. spotify allows offline? very interesting.
Does it?
:cry:
does it? un-app-d spotify requires the internet to run it, so why would the app be any different?
yup. offline playlists i think. hold on, i check...
I know you can create and share playlists, but I didn't know about offline.
i think also last.fm will point you to the itunes store to buy tracks. whereas spotify doesn't.
it points you to 7digital
"The application is designed to search for new music and will allow users to temporarily store playlists to their phone for use when there is no connection."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8169971.stm
i can't see apple approving that in the slightest!
Going back to the Ross Brawn thing, it says they adjourned it until September cos he's busy. Wouldn't the summer break be the ideal time to get stuff like going to court out the way?
agreed. for them to have any chance, it has to point to itunes.
Ooooh, Maverick has graphs: http://www.pitlanefanatic.com/blog/index.php/436/f1-overtaking-analysis/
Hello. My internet hates Sidepodcast so I was communicating through the drop.io :D
Awwww.
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/untitled-jpg-3
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/untitled-jpg-3
hehehe
When mediafuturechange gets going it would be the perfect opportunity for colour coded doohicky! :P
Looks like a kiddie drawing. :D
yeah, the MS Paint + drop.io wasn't really working for me so I've switched to the backup 3G connection that only has 70mb left before it too gets capped. No wonder I've been staying up so late, my internet only gets fast after 1am :(
hehe, how many internet connections do you have!
the usual wireless around the house and the out-and-about USB 3G one :D
cool post. i think we deserve an apology from the OWG.
just catching up with comments...
i'm starting to think i may need to watch this film... lol
oh poor Mr Brawn :( at least he didnt crash a very expensive car like Lewis's dad did...
:D :D
aw hehe :)
Wow... and even thats not enough?
I think you might like this internet thing!
Just watched it... awesomeness!
a lot of people say its Pixar's poorest effort but I loooove it. He's so cute! So cute I can even forgive the Ferrari love. It's OK, he's Italian!
the usual wireless around the house would be fine if only I used it but when its used by 6 people its too easy to use 40gb per month on peak. The 110gb off peak is harder which is why I hang around til after 1am :D
I want real pitstops to do that!!! That would be awesome
hehe :)
I know he is unmentionable but I do love this scene :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUkL8mze1WM
Are robotic pitstops allowed?
My fave scene from that movie. :D
nope, but if nascar pitstops were like that...i'd watch nascar!!
sudden desire to watch cars again. Thank you, Pixar box set.
have you watched the pixar documentry they put on the double disk dvds?
I saw it a couple of weeks back... was amazing!
Sure is! I am really looking forward to seeing Up, I have heard its really really good.
oh my god, i've no idea what's wrong with me today, i've already notched over 2 glasses and a plate :( i'm never ever this clumsy.
doesn't look like i can spell either... are you sure it's not thursday today?
I don't think it is, but maybe this will mean you'll have a nice Thursday instead?
i hope so.. i have my first driving lesson of the week on thursday, so i could do with having a nice day :)
how fast are you going to go this time? Ross Brawn fast?
haha i'll not be going any faster next lesson, am not allowed on the motorway while learning :P
This rule is very silly... The motorway is probably the safest place to drive.
Some people make a big deal of it, but i dont see how not letting them learn on it will help that...
Me too. :D I only remember Pixar ever making good movies. :) My personal fave is Ratatouille - particularly the bit at the end.
I guess it's because to be on a motorway, you have to be running at a certain speed so as not to impede other motorists. And they'll only let you go at that speed if they think you're ready for it.
Learners aren't allowed on motorways?
A roads are multi lane, and you do 70mph on those? whats the difference between a 2 lane a-road to a 3 lane motorway
I've just been told by someone that "girls dont need special presents" and whatdya know, shes female too. silly person
I think i'll be ignoring that advice when i buy my girlfriend a christmas present.
To confuse matters further their are 3 lane A-roads and 2 lane motorways
That is confusing
you are also more than welcome to buy me presents anytime.
good thinking ;)
I actually agree with that. They don't necessarily need special presents; they need special appreciation - and that doesn't necessarily entail a gift. :)
3D pong is ruining my job seeking...
I like gifts. ;)
:D
I agree with her.
mee too... I need to stop buying them for myself though...
Woohoo! I'm not the only one who agreed.
Jake Blog!
heheh I agree too, I'm just trying to get presents out of SPC ;)
:D
she meant that girls dont care about ones that have a value, meaningful ones, so men could get away with just buying generic gifts.
Birds Custard Powder?
Interesting, this, from Jake:
she's right, value doesn't matter.
serious?!
financial value doesn't matter - sentimental value does.
wait, i meant value as in value to a person, not money value
Oh. Don't agree with that.
thats what i was meanign!
haha, in my experience this defiantly depends on the girl!
me neither. Some of my favourite gifts ever have been cheap things but really well thought out and sentimental :)
I don't agree with it either. I am confused by your female friend, Jon.
me too, she's not really a friend, more of a friend of a friend, but the friend isnt really a friend.
she was saying that men are harder ot buy for, but i disagreed with her saying it was more equal-hardness and she said men can just by women flowers and be done with it, hense my disagreement.
:lol:, i am very easy to buy for!
i hate buying for men, but I hate buying for women too. I suck at present shopping. I'm always good at buying presents for myself though.
Ferrari take a leaf out of Piquet's tantrum book:
"Guess who opposed the test with the F60? A team that hasn't won anything for years and yet didn't pass over the opportunity to demonstrate once more a lack of spirit of fair play."
how catty. Me no likey.
excuse me whilst I.... bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
It seems have replaced their press office with a bunch of teenagers...
eek :( that's not very nice.
Lets be fair, It wasn't just Williams that turned him down, it was Torro Rosso and Red Bull, maybe other teams aswell
Who on earth was responsible for that? Even as a Schumi fan, I'd say that's a stupid thing to do.
Good grief. the post is called "Indescretion". I'll say.
And hi everyone.
Howdy. How are ya today?
Any exciting food?
Is high-fibre cereal with bananas and yogurt exciting? :)
umm..
:) didn't think so.
I am not here
You would think a team that went over 20 years without winning a championship while causing all sorts of trouble and claiming to be the most important team in the sport would hold back from making coments like that on the grounds of pots calling kettles black. Or in this case pots calling driven snow black. Still I guess 20 years of failure has been forgotten at Maranello now.
Just popping in for breakfast comments. Have to get ready for work, but if you haven't already, make sure you sign up to contribute to "Travels in Sidepodland" and then call and leave your contribution! I've secured some podsafe music from some local musicians and will go on about Edmonton's amazing festivals. So what's cool to do in your city/town/area?
And I am no longer here either. See you!
I just read the full article. They are complaining that someone stuck to the precise wording of the regulations. You can see why that would upset the poor dears when they have had their diplomatic imumnity for all these years. Maybe it's kust my natural bias but isn't a special deal where your team gets £80 million dollars more than any other for doing the same thing and a technical veto a demonstration of a lack of fair play?
Just put my name down for sidepodtravel, but for my home town, not for Melbourne :D

This is the Portugal circuit, look at the amazing elevation changes.
Just drove it on SBK09, tis rather amazing.
Hi everybody.
I want one of those...
Howdy Mr 'G
ahh, so the old ferrari mentality came back with schuni? bugger.
wonder if rob's looking for a new job yet?
will he be Race Engineer for schu in Valencia?
he'll stick about wont he? Massa is gonna come back at one point...
I'm guessing he will. I've seen no confirmation from Ferrari on this, though.
A Williams spokesperson told AUTOSPORT the team was not planning a response.
"I don't think we would wish to dignify Ferrari's statement with a reply," he said.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I'd reserve that for this piece of news:
Ecclestone eyes Canada Grand Prix for 2010
But there is some bad news in there regarding any hopes of a USGP
yeeyyy
booo
F1 Rocks will be rocking Singapore in September.
http://www.f1rocks.com/singapore09/
They're one-upping the Backstreet Boys with...
Beyonce
The Black-Eyed Peas
ZZ Top
Simple Minds
N.E.R.D
Take note - they're doing this the same weekend as the GP.
Possibly but if we follow what EJ said about silverstone... 'if he makes a point of saying its defiantly not going to happen then there is a good chance it will' ....
hehehe true story
true, true. but the difference here is that we haven't been there for a while now - at least 2 years.
True.... but!
Indy is under new management though, and USF1 will get a lot of attention...
isn't that the whole point of F1 Rocks?
good point. :D
I could google map it but I'm still on slow internet for another minute. Where is Fort Canning Park? Near the circuit?
Paypal said it's taken money out my account (like i told it to do) but my account says no moneys been taken, and the shop i paid the money to (through paypal) says they've recieved payment.
Confused?!
Tweeters are saying it's downtown.
Check it again after an hour. There just might be some lag updating your balance.
I paid for it on sunday...
Lucky!
Lucky. :D
I'm so very confused
I much prefer the Melbourne way of having a big concert at the circuit after the race. Kiss and The Who were brilliant, and I didn't have to pay more to see them. Then again, this is a Bernie idea so of course tickets cost $$.
Singapore is doing both. F1 Rocks is downtown from Thursday-Saturday. BSB is at the circuit on Sunday.
He is just setting up his negotiating position. There is no way the teams would not have made a USGP a condition of their deal and he has US team to help push the price up. It may not be next year but I would be shocked if it is not on the 2011 calendar
Whats BSB?
admittedly both years in Melbourne I got cranky and left before the end because I'd been there all day and was tired. It was worse this year because the twilight race meant it was dark and very cold by the time the concert started. Cold Amy is even crankier than tired Amy.
Backstreet Boys
Oh...! (Dear)
Amy gets tired!?
I phoned the bank, they say it's not even on their screen. Now to phone paypal..
:D
It takes sitting in a grandstand seat in the sun for 12 hours, but it happens.
You have free money and this isnt a good thing?
Id just leave it and see if it sorts itself out?
Ah... the dreaded 'outside'
If i had lots of money in my account, i wouldnt care, but as i only have £25 and the payment was £8, and im likely to forget that they're not much left
Ringo Star is the paypal voice guy :D
Indoor Grand Prix - the way of the future.
ouch, i can imagine that would be slightly painful for you ears...
Ooooooh i'm going to beat someone with a large stick now.
I was about to say ears will be redundant tin the future, then i realised i was advocating turning us all into BORG
Are you taking suggestions?
errm.... have fun?...
Paypal don't know what happened either?
This reminds me...
Does this New Seb qualify for a superlicence?
I hate Paypal. I had a huge chase around the automated system and then i get to finally speak to someone just before it was about blow up and then she tells me that it takes 7-9 days to get money from my account to pay them. Apparently Paypal pay people and then take the money from your account. Although thats never happened to me before, maybe they were asleep on sunday when i bought it.
Really? How odd... Are you using bank account or credit card?
Debit card, it usually goes out my account within the day.
Yup, that's my experience too. Very odd.
I got annoyed at them last time I bought something and it was all 'blah blah blah if there is not enough money in your account we will use your credit card instead" and I knew there was no money in my account, but assumed it would come off my credit card. Instead it came out of my account, I went into overdraft, and then I got charged a $35 overdraft fee. Paypal said it was my banks fault for not telling them there was no money in the account. I didn't even know I had overdraft facilities, I've never used it before.
It does say at the bottom of the paypal page it will take money out your spare one if theres not enough in your main one. How very odd
I never, ever keep money in my main account because it doesn't pay interest. I work off a cash budget so every pay day I withdraw a set amount for the fortnight and transfer the rest straight into my savings account. I have told my bank to get rid of my overdraft because the balance of that account is always $0. I hope they listened.
I think with each new photo I see Massa's eye is a little more open, which is good good good.
Ah, that looks a lot better:D
Albert Einstein Hospital? What a random name!
I noticed the reds haven't taken on red bull... probably afraid the retort would be a bit too witty...
true, when I think of Einstein, Sao Paulo is not the first location that comes to mind.
Or a hospital? More of a university, or nuclear power station sort of a name...
"In 1955, a group of idealists from the Jewish community of São Paulo founded Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein (SBIBAE), based upon four traditional Jewish principles:
Good Deeds (Mitzvá)
Health, Healing (Refuá)
Education (Chinuch)
Solidarity, Justice (Tsedaká)"
now it makes sense. He is quite the Jewish icon.
Yes, thats true.
I am still not sure though. He was responsible for the US developing an atomic bomb, and i am not quite sure how 3 of those principles mesh with that...
Lee has mole'd about f1 rocks
Sounds like we might get to see it on tv!
I feel old, the only one that remotely appeals is ZZ Top.
But I can see how an atomic bomb leads to a hospital
Maybe the drivers will go up on stage, i can see kimi busting out a rap 'bout his big ol' hat
She did mention all the drivers on stage in a tweet didn't she?
She did, Rapping Kimi, and Power-Ballad Rosberg FTW!
Peter Windsor kept calling him "hip hop Kimi" in Melbourne. Maybe it's all coming true.
Perhaps they could get PK to do some stand up about flav...
Off to bed for me - full day tomorrow - and it's a holiday!
Night all.
Night!
{#96}
Yes, he thanked other brazilian drivers and motorsport-related people for the support. He seems relieved that this phase of his career has ended.
I think it is a shame that his F1 career had not came out the way I thought it would, but I still think he will get a seat for next year. Probably at one of the new teams, or maybe at Williams. He drove for Williams before (Sir Frank made a shoot out between Nico and PK and Nico won the seat, but as I remember it was a close call even Nico being more experienced), and of course Frank has a lot of respect for Piquet Sr. - he was the first one to arrive at the crash scene that put Frank Williams on a wheelchair. And I wouldn't be surprised if Williams change both their drivers, with Nico going to McLaren and Nakajima going somewhere else - probably back home.
I don't believe he or his dad can find enough money to buy BMW or create a new team. He was only joking with the rumours about it.
Woop! Sleeep good
Ah that is interesting, i hadnt thought of him going to williams...
His family still have the F3 and GP2 team. there is no way they would have spent so much money to get him to f1 and give up now, I am certain he will have a seat next year.
I thought Piquet senior owns a huge telecoms company
There might be a bitter pill to go along with the return to canada...
If this is where the quote came from http://www.motorsport-total.com/f1/news/2009/08/Ecclestone_verspricht_2010_fahren_wir_in_Kanada_09080404.html
It also mentions races in alternate years at the Nurbergring and Spa

#sidepodradio
I have set up a new dropio account so that anyone can upload radio shows or sections of shows. I have set the permissions so that only admins can download files so that everything is as fresh as possible for sidepodradio Sunday. I don't want anyone putting out spoilers etc. Just now Christine, Mr C and I are admins.
The new drop is unimaginatively titled http://drop.io/sidepodradio . If you upload anything to it please post a comment especially if you want us to do more than store it. I know Scott was looking for some feedback on his show for example.
Hi Lukeh
The worst feeling in the world is when your favourite TV show gets REALLY EPIC and you know you have to wait a WHOLE WEEK for another episode. Arrrrrrrgh.
And this....is why i always wait for box sets to come out
try LOST... they make you wait 9 months
I did this with the last season because its an NZ show and I got the DVDs for Christmas. I wish I'd done it with this season because the suspense is killing me.
ah, the last season of Lost I watched all of them in 3 days. A much better way of doing it. That show has messed with my head for too many years.
German friend says it means he wants a full time race at hockenheim and at the same time alternating a race between Spa and Nurbergring
Carrying on from Mediafuturechange earlier, Apple again up to no good
How can there be a motor museum that big and I have never heard of it?
oooooops
Greetings. I just got my daily email from autoweek magazine for their online news video cast. Here is the description from the email:
"The Senate appears poised to pump more money into the cash-for-clunkers program, Mercedes could bail on Formula One, and Lotus offers new supercharging kits . . . But Wait, There's More!.."
It always happens to me that I cannot load the videos the day they come out and today is no exception - rats! Has there been any scuttlebutt about this???
I have never seen anyone mention autoweek videos here so can't help with that.
Mercedes is not leaving F1. That is a certainty. Red Bull are negotiating with them to use their engine next year.
I found the to the actual videocast. It doesn't say very much as far as details, other than there are rumblings of Mercedes wanting to leave.
For anyone interested:
http://miad.autoweek.com/vidcast/awnews_080409.m4v?&_kip_ipx=3547447952-3075110165
cheers tim.
anyone notice the updates to this autosport story?
"The original story wrongly stated 161mph. The correct speed is 100mph (161 km/h)"
nice one.
D'oh.
I've also just caught up with the Ferrari statement. Yeouch. Uncalled for much!
Who in the UK quotes speed in km/h?
If anyone the military?
Does make it a bit suspect where they picked the story up from...
No one else seems to have picked that quote about spa up that i can see other than the earth times.
It would be such a shame to loose such a great track every other year so we can go to the tedium of hockenheim
There would be absolute uproar, more than we've seen from the other tracks being lost.
Tweet from Darth Brawn
What is the meaning of these "speed limits"? Your puny radar is no match for the power of the darkside
No, he doesn't. PK is sponsored by one of the 4 biggest brazilian telecoms, but Piquet Sr. has nothing to do with that company.
Piquet Sr. is one of the owners of Autotrac, the first brazilian cargo tracking company (I don't know the correct translation for this, but it tracks lorries positions using gps). It is a big company, but not big enough to even sponsor PK in F1 or PiquetSports in GP2. It sponsored PK in F3 though.
Piquet Sr. had the idea to open the company while he was recovering from that terrible accident from the Indy 500 in 1992.
Thanks Felipe. I was clearly confused
BTW, have you ever seen the Renault ad where PK lets another guy drive his Renault F1? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR5LBQ_q700 (sorry, didn't find one with english subtitles).
The kid asks everyone if he can drive their Renaults and everybody says no. Then he approches Piquet and asks the same question, and Piquet just answers: sure! :) And the guy looks like Grosjean!
This ad was first aired in Brazil during the Germany GP. Great timing, huh?
(sorry if anyone already posted this before)
So F1 rocks!
What next? Teams painting their cars in the liveries of football teams, that's what :-/
Speaking of which - has anyone seen any reviews of the superleague formula event at Donington last weekend that wasn't lifted from a press release?
Good evening. How are we all?
BritsOnPole went and I spoke to them (him?) on Twitter the other day. He seemed impressed by the racing, little bit let down by car reliability but otherwise good.
Quite a while I reckon!
The mayor of montreal has apparently denied any deal with Bernie or f1 has been done...
This is from TSN (who are one of the biggest Canadian spots networks, who broadcast F1. Although they are 20% owned by ESPN, who in turn own F1 Live)
They are quoting a radio interview the city's mayor did with a German radio station
Fun!
http://www.pitlanefanatic.com/blog/index.php/436/f1-overtaking-analysis/
Great post from Maverick on overtaking. Shame the stats from the 60s and 70s are not available.
I haven't been there in yonks, since I was a kid I think, even though it is probably only an hour or so from here.
Ahh I think Brits on Pole might have been the way I stumbled upon the series last night. Gearbox failures wasn't it? I remember seeing the original PR when they announced this series but never in a million years thought it would actually happen, never mind get through to another year. Nice cars, very similar to the Panoz champ car chassis, but the format is too contrived for me.
Thanks for the info.
Nice! it's needs editing together with this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrVZTgj5AUk
I completely agree with all of this, even though I've never seen a race of theirs.
I have heard they play the winning teams club song at the end of the race, and that the spurs driver was almost moved to tears hearing 'glory glory Tottenham Hotspur'...
If thats the only piece of news i hear about it i will be mighty relieved
We won something? Hold on while I have a heart attack.
Tottenham winning?
Damnit RG beat me to it.
Good to see people are signing up for Nikki's sidepodradio show but we need more. Why don;t you sign up and tell us a little bit about your part of the world or your favourite part if that is somewhere else.
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Travels+in+Sidepodland
We still have a few free slots if someone has a show idea or fancies being on someone else's show. Sidepodradio will work best if everyone contributes something.
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Sidepodradio
But the year doesn't end in a 1. Is that allowed?
All this talk of the horrible super league formula, now jake is adding football ribbons to his twitter pic.
...make it go away :(
I think now is the time to assure you that I'm not part of the massive superleague formula PR machine!
But for pure 'morbid curiosity' purposes here's a link to some video coverage: http://www.superleagueformula.com/superleague/News-Media/Multimedia/Video-Gallery/SF-Events
I actually stumbled across all of this yesterday because I was trying to find where Robert Doornbos is moving to (he's just dumped his IRL team) - that'll teach me!
I think it's the motorsport equivalent of that lapland experience they set up in Poole last christmas.
We got rid of that rule last season.
Was tempted to add a Muse twibbon... but... nah. They look a bit silly.
Which reminds me, the album cover (that got revealed) today of their next album is absolutely gorgeous...
And thats my predictable comment about a certain band of the day!
Your persistence has paid off...
#sidepodspace
Just found out on twitter that the shuttle Discovery was rolled out to the launch pad today. Launch is scheduled for not before August 25th.
I just got moderated for th first time in ages.
i have no idea what any of this conversation means, but autosport mention HVM. still nothing. i'll stop now.
It's starting to. Sidepodradio will be a success.
are you having conversations with made up people?
My IndyCar blogger friends are saying HVM Racing.
Haha!
Perhaps you should design us a Sidepodcast twibbon
*bounced*
"discovery" got caught out by the block on the keyword "disco", sorry.
My cousin used to work at the park that was hosting that years and years ago.
Its actually a motorsports venue with a short course oval for banger racing and an MX track
Well, there goes the Disco Music Hour idea then...
We are not allowed to party?
:)
Interesting. I kept re-reading it trying to spot the cause but I was baffled.
I am sure that shuttle's last mission was covered here.
Yep, my grandparents used to live in Christchurch and I dragged them to the banger racing there a few times when I was a kid!
unnamed persons were commenting using that name at the weekend.
Thank god bernie didn't launch F1 Disco today... For more reasons than one.
ah...
*puts platform boots back on*
Matchams? I've been there with parents many moons ago for a big massive outdoor market... I never made it to any racing..
Sign up for a half hour show at http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Sidepodradio . If the first half hour works out for you I will be only too happy to give you another half hour. Would you prefer 2:30 or 6:30?
yeah, they used to have a caravan race every august bank holiday that i went to as a kid... goodfun/ basic motorsport!
I loved the fact that no-one cared about the word disco until they found out it was a keyword on the spam list. No, everyone's making jokes! :)
Point a - I hate disco music.
Well I tried, and it broke my twitter and my picture. :(
Disco isnt something you can love or hate, it is a way of life...
That's it - real 'earthy' stuff. The best place I've seen banger racing was wimbledon dog track. Not sure if they still do it, it was like minature nascar -not that I knew what nascar was at that point...
I mentioned this earlier but there are more people around. A special dropio acount has been set up for sidepodradio. People can upload their pre-recorded shows or parts of shows. No-one other than Christine, Mr C or I can access them so that no poilers get put out.
http://drop.io/sidepodradio/
Please don't tell me "twibbon" is a word now. I thought "tweeple" was bad.
What kind of music do you want to do then?
I just tried and didn't have a problem (not a SPC one, my photoshop/paint skills are non existant)
Actually scratch that, "tweeple" is still the worst.
I can confirm it is on this year
Sat 12th 6pm CARAVAN BANGERS!!!!!
september
Its strange, I had a show, that went cos I was ill. Then something happened the other night linking me with a show with James. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
I will read it in a bit but it looks interesting enough. I will comment to ask him where he got his stats from because there is a guy well known in the internet community who produces stats after each GP according to strict rules.
Strange. The picture was all pixelated and I sent out 5 messages of gibberish I quickly deleted to prevent spamming up people's feeds with crap.
:-D :-D
I think you should stick with the Disco.
Also change your name to Disco Stu
I forgot about the Nostradamous show. You have to put that back into the schedule. Pick any vacant slot and it is yours.
I am not in that are anymore, but there is a 2009 fixture list here
The good ol' 6:30 slot is still there. I'm taking that back.
That's great. How far on are you with the show>
What! is thias still going ahead? when where?
Well. Not far.
If I'm not doing anything else that day.... I may just sample it. I probably won't because it isn't really my sort of thing... but it'd be a larf.
Of course it is going to happen. You can't just drop an idea that good.
It will happen on Sunday August 16th.
You need to get your melodrama organised. Volunteer people to help you
Is it going to be live or pre-recorded?
But none of these things rock..?
Thanks for volunteering :P
Live.
Wait... what??
:lol:
No-one told you? Mr C told me to organise it last night so I am organising
Am I the only one who thought of the A-Team intro here?
I was aware that Sidepodradio was pushed back rather than cancelled. I was not aware a date had been agreed.
:D
It's up to you two if you want to change the date.
I have no idea. They are the people who do the Haynes car manuals.
I'm assuming the photos arriving on dropio are from Alex. Looks like they saw some great cars
I would guess so. I don't remember Senna driving the car with his name on it though.
Wow..meagblastic postage!
evening folks... am I right in assuming sidepodradio has a new date?
Nothing has been confirmed.
I think the sidepodboard are discussing it...
oooohh... it's gone to committee? shall I assume 2010? ;-)
Quick question for Christine. On iTunes F1 Minute for 04/08/09 says it's release date is 30/07/09. How did you manage to travel back to give today's news last Thursday & please may I borrow your time machine (especially if it looks like a police box)? :-)
Oops. The feed is all kinds of wrong. Should be fixed now.
:-( I was hoping for the police box
I'm hungry, any ideas?
Rubens has just announced his competition winner.
Oookay..
I hear food helps hunger issues.
:)
See, i like that. Thats using your brain
Didn't know that.
What kind of 'food' are you talking about? (without mensioning bread/toast/toasted bread/fried bread/cooked bread
I'm 2 minutes away from having pasta
Some americans say Bacon is Meat Candy...
Heated bread
Baked dough?
eat
Well the only way to heat bread without mensioning the afformensioned, is to microwave it, and then it just goes soggy
Darn, darn, darn, darn and darn.
I'm out of ideas, I suggest a yoghurt.
To quote Neil Buchanan on Art attack... "Go on, give it a try!"
...actually no. dont.
agreed.
Just had pasta & pesto, excellent!
Grilled loaf
Specially a Müller Rice
RG's crazy. Crunch Corner is where it's at
You can never go wrong with a müller rice. Never ever ever ever ever ever.
Especially a hot one in winter.
Doctor: I am putting you on an all meat diet...
:P Theory disproved :P
You can sneak one in every once in a while.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2004/may/06/consumeraffairs.consumerpages
Clearly the doing of that supermarket brand.
Right, decision made;
Ice cream, bannana, sprinkles and chocolate sauce :D
I can't believe you didn't go for the Müller rice.
But still one nice dish.
banana? that's almost healthy!
Not a fan i'm afraid
You sir, are crazy. ;)
The title is just evil! :-)
Poor guy...
Awwwwwwwwww
Hehehehehe.
Amy mentioned indoor F1 earlier...
I found some
Question.
In the Christmas special of Doctor Who when the doctor's just regenerated, he says "Don't you think she looks tired" and it was meant to bring down her government, can someone explain to me how? why?
Is it just so people question Harriet Jones's health?
I can honestly say i have never seen a question which i would struggle to answer as much as this one!
got any star trek query's?
umm.....
Yeah. she had no vote of confidence and people wanted her to stand down because of rumours of ill health. The Doctor started the rumours by saying that.
Thought as much, fankks :D
Indeed.
People started saying Tony Blair looked tired, comparing him to how he looked when he started the job. Where is he now?
How come Bernie doesn't look tired?
He's too powerful to look tired.
He is a machine. Literally.
Possibly an allusion to Margaret Thatcher - I seem to remember similar comments just before she went - polite code for "can't cope with the job anymore"
Pact with the devil
Because he has a lawn outside his motorhome. I don't know how the two are connected but they are. Somehow.
Picking up $2 million a year from an American financial institution that is making a killing in Iraq as the result of a war he and his mate started. Co-incidence?
I think that if you think Tony Blair and George Bush started World War 3 just to make a quick buck, then you've been reading too many conspiracy theory books.
Maybe we just need to all start blogging about how tired Bernie is looking?
Jean Todt looks like he hasn't slept in months (probably just jet lag)
and thats the sidepodfriendly version of what i was going to say ;)
John Surtees has spoken about Henry to the BBC. The video isn't working yet, but i think it might be too sad to watch http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8184384.stm
Hi all.
I'm mostly lurking, and I should be working.
Thanks for plugging Travels in Sidepodland and let me know if the date changes. I sincerely hope it doesn't change to August 21-23.
Nice job on the #sidepodradio drop.io.
But he doesn't look tired, i was thinking watching his interview today that he had more energy than me!
I don't think that is why they started it. I just think it is wrong that he took a job like that afterwards
Just spread a few tweets on twitter. All sorted. Bye bye Bernie.
Quiet! He looks tired. End of. :-)
#Bernielookstired
I would rather have him than Sir Flav's-alot anyday...
I listened to a clip from one of his school friends, was quite heart breaking
Made-up Media is looking VERY tired
Kill two stones with one bird.
Piquet Sr will buy out Bernie just to spite Flav ;-)
hahaha
heya, everyone's evening going okay?
Great, we are accusing people of being tired to get rid of them.
Great, but Bernie should get an early night by the looks of it
#amysalwaystired
;)
I hope he does something, i would love flav to get some comeuppance
#
Uh oh.
*looks at his own twitter*
So is a certain German driver.
(am I allowed to say that?)
RG might not like it...
Of course.
I believe its the other certain German driver he's one about
no not that one, the other one.
All those Germans.
You may have just ruined Vettel, Heidfeld, Glock and Sutil's careers in one fell swoop
If someone (even the dredded news organisation that must never be named) picked this up and ran with it, it would make my year!
Heidfeld always looks tired. How can he be that miserable all the time?
okay... i'm going to read missed comments now.. :)
The theory is that the media will print what sounds good without bothering to check the facts (known as 'the dreaded news organisation that must never be named effect') and before you know it everyone believes it - most importantly the board of CVC
So is a certain formerly RETIRED unmentionable German F1 driver.
... more clear? :)
If you had to ruin your perfectly manicured beard every couple of weeks by putting on a helmet, wouldnt you be upset?
Who woulda thunk it? It isn't politics that is threatening F1's future... it's the Doctor.

Guys, i want you all to faourite this page
http://www.2cvracing.org.uk/24hrlive
Race starts on Saturday at 17.30 BST, build up from 17.00 BST. Be there or be a triangle
Now he is defiantly tired!
bahahaha
excellent
Can we tweet questions?
yep!! Read that page, it has everything you need ot know
Oooooooh. Triangles.
*Runs to wash RG's evil twitter cap*
ookay so i now understand why you were talking about getting rid of people by saying they look tired :)
be nice otherwise this scary looking 2CV will come and mess you up
Don't you think she looks tired?
she? do you mean me? or the lady out of doctor who you were talking about?
mwhahaha, wouldnt you like to know :P
Oooooh, that's brilliant :)
I wan't to know if we should start to get lou out or not. The angry mob are getting restless ;)
oookkkaaayy.....
:D
hehe, you can a bit, but go easy ;)
That was a rogue apostrophe anyone intrested in grammar.
tha't took me 2 mins to find...
so you're in charge of the angry mob then?...
no-one's ever 'in charge' of an angry mob....it's basically the person who has the loudest voice at the time
GRAB THE PITCHFORKS
that sorta loudest voice?
perfect
oh right.. should i be worried spc has turned into an angry mob?
we're you not here during the first few days of the hiatus ;)
ah..
hehehe, how are ya lou? had a fandabitastic day?
i'm okay, my tuesday ended up being alright in the end, tidied the study and everything :) my desk is actually organised.
how are you Jon? had a good day?..
what was I doing? i can't remember
ummm, not sure really, s'been an odd week, for no apparent reason. am going to london tomorrow though, then Snetterton from Friday, so the rest of the week should be good
You were saying how awesome Muse's album artwork is for The Resistance
Well a man can try can't he.
awesome :) wish i was going to london this week.. i'll probably have to wait till next week though.. you're so lucky re the whole snetterton thing! sounds like an awesome weekend!
apparently he did ;)
I'm sure it looks great..
yeah, not really sure how i wangled it, but im not complaining, should be good fun. although you may not see me for a while afterwards....it WILL kill me
oh yeah I was going to read and reply to the PF post.
London's always worth it. Especially wwandering aimlessly :D
wandering aimlessly around london rocks! :)
When ever i do that i seem to end up on Pall mall, i think its some sort of monopoly affliction...
i do love wandering in london, but that probably won't be much of that, i'm carrying lots of clothes in my back pack and a suit bag too.
aww, just make sure you don't get a migraine those things KILL.. ;)
My dad once went round the whole monopoly board (as in real life places) in a day for charity once.
Strange man
That... may hinder you somewhat.
i think it'll be the lack of sleep that'll do that
trueee story
Pub Crawl? ;)
haha :) i seem to end up on regent's street or near something famous like buckingham palace, or st paul's cathedral :)
It's colourful!!! And abstracty. I like abstract art!
It also looks like a giant eye, which seeing as the album will have themes of 1984, is probably no coincedence. Considering the last album had the 4 horsemen on Mars chatting, I prefer this. ;)
wow! that's brilliant!
oh.
Good evening everyone.
Hullo dan.
Evening Dan :)
he also stayed up for 24 hours having a film marathon for charity, he got in the paper and everything.
he likes doing wierd things for charity
Evening dan
My problem is i only real go between waterloo and covent garden/ Tottenham court road.... and i know the routes too well :(
That's what I did for my stag do
Oh it does. I've lost hours doing that. Brilliant.
sounds great tbh.. sounds a little tiring though..
Did he do it in the right order? That would be fantastic!
Good news... Bernie says there defiantly wont be an American GP!
:P
well.. i thought i just knew south bank, turns out i know a little more of westminister then i thought :D
It's true. All I know is that the green man on the light means go.
Sorry, someone mention Tottenham?
Oh, court road, carry on.
I prefer this too, although it confuses the hell out of me. How can that middle bit look like a corridor stretching away and a globe AT THE SAME TIME??
haha yeah... don't worry i know that now :)
Rolling the dice to see where you go next would be crazier
Hi
Ah, one of my friends lives in waterloo and rashly claimed that he was near by in a pub in london bridge.
these two places are not close, and i had quite an adventure!
i prefer the 4 horsemen... *runs*
not sure, would be fun
sounds fun! :D
There's a term for that, but it's not appropriate for a family friendly website like this ;)
So he has been to Atlantic City?
Oh... (*slumped shoulders... looking to the ground.*)
So I guess the Vatican City GP is on then?
:o
You are mistaken
This is practicly a declaration there will be one!
I like that!
Pub crawl sorted!
only 2 stops on the Jubilee?
This is why they made Twitter...
This was tube strike day back in june... and he also implied it was a bout 2 streets away
2 stops on a tube is aaaaaaaaages away when you walk it.
depends if you know the shortcut ;)
I did a bank statement pub crawl once. Somebody stole my debit card and then went round loads of pubs having a drink and getting cash back before it was cancelled. A mate and I later followed my bank statement - it was reassuring that the thief sustained severe liver damage in the process of the crime.
Ah. Ouch.
First time in London it was.
Depends... Some stops are realy close.
Embankment and chairing cross are all part of the same station
ahh.. then yeah it's a bit of a walk ;)
Swiss Corner and erm, something else. Really ain't
But surely you did too as you were following his route drinking?
bus?
umm...Mr RG....where is this Swiss Corner station you are refering too...
I once read that the most used tourist route on the tube is Leicester Square to Covent Garden. Trouble is, it's quicker to walk then get the tube!
the first time I went to london on the tubes was for the meetup in April. Needless to say the tubes because big scary monsters that day :(
It's wierd because even on my first time on them... I didn't have any problems. Hell it all went smoothly. perhaps... too smoothly....
They claim Bank and the other one are the same station linked by a tunnel. They lie. It is a long, long walk..
I had a huge bill to forget about (bank accepted responsibility in the end)
Swiss Corner, Swiss Cottage, more or less the same thing.
Not really...
theeerree ya go :D
You were thinking of Muller corners again
To someone who's used the underground once, it is.
that or a taxi ;) walking is more fun though :)
Damn that Muller.
hahahahahaha
tell that to my friends who make me get on the tube all the time :(
Its a shame giggles radio didn't go to Swiss corner.... or maybe it did!
tell them how expensive each journey is, even with Oyster
Now I'm starting to think Swiss Corner is a good idea for a muller yoghurt.
ah, but if you buy a railcard (which i pressume lou does) then it dosent make any difference
Mmmm Something corner.
Travelcard fever...
whyzat?
or maybe it will
Mentioning Radio and the tube is making me think of the game Mornington Crescent!
tomorrow i'm going to get a travelcard into london, >£15 with unlimted tube travel
From experience, when I buy my ticket to London for a day return it includes with it a travelcard to go on any route on the udnerground as many times as I like.
yep daily travel cards are awesome! :)
#
I say this, I mean when the ticket machines dont put their fingers in their ears and go 'LALALALA IM NOT LETTING YOU THROUGH' ;)
Jump over them?
Oh right. I think the maximum Oyster spend is 5 or 10 quid per day?
especially when you expect them to open, and then they don't and you're still walking....
Body meet ticket machine
you can get a return ticket, single ticket, or a daily travel card which includes tube... well they are the options for me anyways :D
Ah but if you have to travel into london aswell, it's cheaper to go with a travel card
haha :D that was a stressful 15mins.. still can't believe i lost my ticket! have never lost a ticket before...
i don't like those machines much, i always end up snatching the card out as quickly as i can... no idea why. it's not like they are going to swallow it again... lol :D
like electronic bouncers
"yer names not dahn, ya not commin' in"
incent the ery iacious acuuming ampire isited ictor on iking the egetarian eretinanian acationing in alentine alley Guess what letter is missing on my keyboard?
V?
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Thank god you said the bit on the end, I thought you were drunk.
um...z?
They should be on Gladiators or something
Contestants ready!! 3! 2! 1!... GO!
*card gets eaten by angry hungry machine while you rush through before the barriers attack*
Angry little beggars are those machines.
Or talking in another language.
Ah, I've just insulted a lot of people by calling another language, drunk.
Oh right. Is this within a certain radius of London? 'Cos when I go they always ask me if I want one for extra money, I say no 'cos I've got an Oyster. I got one because I visited my sister a few times a year and it seemed cheaper that way.
Blimey is that my new catch phrase? .. MrC thought I was drunk yesterday :(
Ouch, only just noticed that.
Bernie is looking really, really tired of late
I'm not sure not using the letter v constitutes a language....i think you're fine ;)
Its better than looking tired.
You and Mr C need to have a deal to make a complete keyboard between you.
Are you avoiding the question?
aww :( so why don't you have a 'v' on your keyboard Jackie? is it something similar to Mr C's question mark problems?
What question?
Jackie, have you ever seen V for Vendetta? That little game there would've been perfect for V's speech at the start :D
Hi Jackie.
Are you drunk?
much cheaper with a travel card, its only 4 more on my ticket which is cheaper than a single tube journey
It's just not working at all. Haent spilled anything on it, it just stopped working
Too much odka
mine too!!
Oii!!!
:D
:D
Hi Pat, happy bloggy birthday :)
This proves the letter v could be universaly replaced with W
Wodka
Wery
Wentalation
i have a student railcard thing cause it makes daily travel card cheaper :) that and i like going to london..
Concerning this, this is V;s speech for those that don't know it... you may want to take hold of your brain just in case:
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
V-tastic.
hi Mr C :)
Johnathon Woss?
Excellent .. for anyone with the letter after U on their keyboard :D
hmm. I got sucked in by the "tube costs £4 but only £1 with Oyster" thing
Willneuwe joins Wodafone McLaren Mercedes at Walencia?
Nick Heidfeld?
its.too.early
i?
Thanks :-D
hey Sean, what time is it there?
Evening everyone. Just about to try and catch up with comments. It's been a busy day!
Do you have an alphabetic keyboard?
Walencia, I am so calling it that from now on.
7:37. I had to get up at 7:10. I haven't done that since I was at school!
The letter that comes ibetween U and W in the alphabet
You need to film at swiss corner next time you do giggles radio!
Are you tired?
evening all :)
Mr C: Doohickey idea: a new field where you choose your timezone and it appears alongside your name when you post
Evening Alex, :) had a good day?
:)
aaahhhh, x. gotcha
Sounds Polish
I like it.
i'm sure Giggles is fine... (don't admit you're tired Alex... it wont end well...)
Wouldn't it be more Walenkia?
doohicky has gone mental!
:D
oooooooooh. i likes that a lot.
nice idea!
Could this be colour coded :P
i like this because once and for all we can see if Amy does actually live in Australia...or if she's just an Owl and is nocturnal...
ouch.. the thought of having to do that come September scares me...
great idea!
erm? i've missed something. what would you like the colours to be?
I will have 9am lecture....
boo ;)
She could just find out Australia's time, then set her doohickey to that time...
blue and red, mainly white.
RG are you quizzing tomorrow night? .. Thought I read on the wiki that you were.
hmm, maybe we'll have to make it set automatically
And I thought a 7.45 alarm was bad. At least I lie in for another 20 minute after it wakes me.
That's why I'm up this early. I don't know what on Earth I was thinking! I have to do this for the next 13 weeks! Gah...
Huh? First I've heard.
She might still just pick the Australian time zone when she's actually in Swindon ;-)
That sucks a lot. :(
I hae the opposite problem. I hae been up since 2.30 am this morning
You should come and work at... that place I work!
6am fun :D
That's okay, I was just checking
hehe, i requested it ages ago, but it was pointless...
But if you do a mediafuturechange-sidepodcast combined doohicky would be good to have posts from each site in a different colour
how on earth do you do it... that's just evil..
I think combining two sites could be a stretch :-)
I like how i haven't even started uni and the prospect of having to be into 9am (10 minutes later than i was at school) i disagree with
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Website+Wishlist
oh my! i've just heard what Eddie Izzard is doing for comic relief! O.o wow..
I've got an interview tomorrow morning with a recruitment company, so I can't hang around long...
you want a combined doohickey??
You are insane. Nobody willingly works at 6am.
oo good luck for tomorrow Alia!
good luck alia.
ouch :-(
I believe I have gone legally insane.
Insane in the membrane, to be precise.
Listened to an interview this morning, makes swimming the channel look pitiful
Good luck!
good luck
I can do it if you want. Mind you, spot the difference ain't gonna be that good, nor the questions.
It is the way forward :D
good luck miss alia!
:-) :-)
insane in the brain?
madness.
Earlier on I asked my Nephew if he wanted a certain someone to return to F1.
This was his response:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/img-1003
didn’t google.com first become popular because of its design – the sheer simplicity of it? {Comment #250}
A lot of people regard it as simple, but I could not and still cannot find most of the functions I'd want to use for it. That and the (in)accessibility issues put me off everything except YouTube (and even then I use Last.fm for most of my video services these days).
It's fine, honestly. I had looked http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Pitlane+Fanatic+Quiz and wondered that's all. But I reckon it's time for a couple of weeks off
Good luck with that
gooood man.
is this a trap?
;)
Wow!
I never knew Brendon hartley was so opposed!!
(Sorry giggles :P)
What?
Fingers and eerything elsed crossed you get it
:D :D :D :D :D :D
yes, I mean no. It is not a trap.
haha :D
See ya all, have to go get the bus.
I hate before 9am.
Journeyer!!! Wonder why he changed it?
Isnt that what google wave will end up like though?
very good thank you. I went near Frome (pictures on the drop), went to a car museum (pictures on the drop) and went to an air museum (pictures on the drop).
Then phone ran out of batteries!
I like that response
See ya!
Who knows. But we can come back refreshed and raring to go after the break.
not sure. doohickey will support wave though, so possibly we don't need to integrate them.
I forgot to say hi to Alex.
Hi Alex. Uncle Giggles?
:D:P;)
7 for me.
he is running about 30 miles a day for 6 days a week and it will probably take 7 weeks. crazy...
They do that don't they.
34 marathons in 6 weeks!
Hi Alex .. and bye Alex. Time I was in bed. G'night all.
is now a good time to mention my alarm is set for 11:30am?
i saw the pic of the sign post.. thanks :D
I wonder why
night jackie.
That's nuts!
wow! you must have a very awesome job! or a day off?
Night.
Rose night?
i love how it's set for 11.30, most people would just be up by then automatically, but you sir, are special in this fact
night Jackie
sadly not, no.
Night Jackie
tis for comic relief... but yes, yes it is nuts...
Night Jackie.
*jealous*
I'd do that, but I'd still wake up earlier than that.
actually if it means staying up until 3 or 4am every night.. maybe not jealous...
am I the only person that, even on days off, can't sleep in that late? or, if I do, I don't like it! I'm wierd.
I prefer to get up at 9 or 10 and simply relax in bed in semi conscious state with music on my alarm clock...
ahah i need to set my alarm, if i don't i would honestly sleep in till like 4pm..
I wont mention mine then... :P
am betting about 4-5ish.
is he running from John o'groats to lands end or something?
ouch....
A lot of people in my life call me Uncle Al even if I am not their uncle. I think I may be rather avunclular in nature.
This chap, Theo, is my fiancé's brother's son. So he's close to nephewdom.
If I'm until 2 or 3am I can easily until midday, especially alcohol-aided.
A roads are multi lane, and you do 70mph on those? whats the difference between a 2 lane a-road to a 3 lane motorway {Comment #330}
If you suddenly start driving like a fool on an A-road, the instructor is legally permitted to pull you over to the side of the road, as a general rule.
The motorway is different - unless there's hard shoulder available, cars can't stop and even then it's supposed to be reserved for cars that, for whatever reason, cannot move to the next turn-off. While the police are allowed to pull drivers over to the hard shoulder, the idea that driving instructors should have the same privilege hasn't gained any currency. Until it does, it will be impractical for learners to be permitted on motorways.
'London to Cardiff to Belfast to Edinburgh and back to London, running through as many parts of the UK that lie in between our 4 capitals' is what it says on his site..
Eddie Izzard can run on water?
But this makes no sense, a major a road and a motorway have no difference in the nature of their hard sholders...
or teleport?
am not thinking it's a direct route....
http://www.eddieizzard.com/blog/view.php?Id=4&BlogId=1
David Mitchell implied it was only 30 metres a day last night!
So what happens if I say I'm tired?
Most motorways usually have a hard shoulder the size of a lane. Most A-roads have maybe a couple of feet at most.
He's not fit for duty, take him away from power.
Absolutely nothing, nothing at all, zilch
the angry mob will turn on you..
Kooler, svree weeks.
Excellent!
nooo... giggles radio is too good to loose :P
Are you tired, or do you look tired? There is a distinct difference
should we place an ad in autosport?
wanted: younger, fitter, giggles.
yes.
...with added battery
Darn, hoping nobody would pick up on that.
Back in the waitin area mob.
fitter, happier, more productive
You get sent to look for Swiss corner tube stop :P
Hello all, what's up?
I think there is a good chance you may have a USGP next year...
Tired Joe?
:D :D
i hate buying for men, but I hate buying for women too. I suck at present shopping. I’m always good at buying presents for myself though. {Comment #360}
I can buy presents for some people (who have pretty specific ideas about what they want) but not for others (who either don't really know what they want or seem to have everything they want). As one of those people who rarely knows what she wants (except that books generally go down well), I can't complain too much though!
Are you looking tired, Joe?
Apart from that, hiiii
Liquor is always a good out.
I hope my USGP news wasn't too much of a shock :|
:P
I have neatly sidestepped the issue by going to sleep.
This comment is from my dreamzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ;)
He does look tired
Oh god, now I find out I'm just a figure of Giggles imagination
I've seen that joke run through the thread, can anyone give me a reference?
Search the comments for "doctor". it starts there.
Tis from a Doctor Who episode i watched earlier, look what i started :D
Its from Dr Who.
Aparently if you spread rumours that someone looks tired they loose their jobs and go away. If not the angry mob gets them...
Sorry, someone came to our station wanting a BP check. Turned out to be a firefighter from Orlando looking for t-shirts.
Comment 604 is where it starts.
When and where?
Since I'm just a figure of Giggles imagination, I suppose I might as well go to bed.
*cough cough cough*
Night RG
NICK! What's the USGP news?
Bernie says it defiantly wont be happening.
If we use EJ to translate this like he did with Silverstone, it means it is very likely to happen..
Ferrari take a leaf out of Piquet’s tantrum book: {Comment #361}
This is considerably sillier than Nelson's rant. At least Nelson might have had a point, however lost it was in a forest of angry words. Ferrari had no such point.
He also said montreal is back on but they mayor denied this, so i expect its all part of his negotiations for a race in the states...
I read where the GPC is still at an impasse with Bernie over the money and if there is no GPC, it makes it harder for a USGP. Unless it's later in the season at they are on their way to Singapore. But I'll believe it when I see it
Have to get ready for work, but if you haven’t already, make sure you sign up to contribute to “Travels in Sidepodland” and then call and leave your contribution! {Comment #374}
I intend to record some stuff about my home town tomorrow, and do some stuff about the nearby city later this week.
I would forgo a USGP to go to the GPC.
"We would alternatively race at Spa-Francorchamps and Nürburgring", said a decidedly tired looking Bernie Ecclestone
A Williams spokesperson told AUTOSPORT the team was not planning a response.
“I don’t think we would wish to dignify Ferrari’s statement with a reply,” he said. {Comment #385}
Excellent :D
But that is a reply. :P
Really?
shh!
I've been put in RG's black book apparently.
Black = Black eyes = Sleepy = RG's TIRED!!
;)
ahem, i'll stop now
You sung Summer of 69 on twitter, hence, your dead. I did say I would kill someone.
I'm not here.
#GigglesMadeupMedia (GMM)
Vatican City and FOM has announced that they will run a grand prix through the principality. Apparently, the race will consist of 305 laps around St. Peter's square.
It's a non-statement statement. Just like a non-denial denial.
Yeah, in 2007 I went to both the GPC and USGP. GPC was the biggest party I have ever been to, the USGP was somewhat lame
That's a statement, not a reply to Ferrari's outburst ;)
I hate to say it but Indy is not well known for its' night life. If the race was back at Long Beach... well!!!! :)
I was taking my chances as to if it would be me or not ;)
he sang summer of 69?... *realises she accidentally closed twhril...* i see...
I did it too :P
I know someone who went to both in 2005, he said Montreal's parties were over-hyped and Indy as a city was brilliant and even with the Michelin debacle he'd have gone back to Indy, but not Montreal.
Have Indycar as a support race.
Another must have G animal for Christine's second sidepodsafari park.

We rule, fact
oo good luck for tomorrow Alia! {Comment #869}
Thank you lou, "me", Lukeh, Pat W, RG, Steven Roy and anyone else I've missed.
It could be anywhere, but i think there will be one.
The teams made some noises about races when the concorde was being signed, i think they might have insisted on a list of countries F1 has to go to.
I was also at USGP 2005, but stayed 35 miles from the speedway, so drinking and driving was a concern, thus Indy's nightlife was not sampled by me. On the other hand, the Metro in Montreal meant I could party and hang out all night and not worry about driving.
So that what Kimi will do once he leaves F1.
Speaking of Long Beach, if Kimi gets one hint of the L.A. party scene, I don't think we would ever see him again.
haha, lets hope they dont go back to Vegas!
I think he was generally unimpressed with going through a fairly industrial area to get to the Montreal track, so that may have put a downer on it for him. It's a while since I spoke to him about it so I'm a bit hazy.
Christine is going to have a second safari park? i think i missed some comments...
Riding to the track for me was darkness and train stations. then a beautiful park-like setting with very loud cars, what more could you want
But this makes no sense, a major a road and a motorway have no difference in the nature of their hard sholders… {Comment #936}
Most of the A-roads round me haven't got a hard shoulder, but do allow parking on the roadside. Some of them don't, which is a bit of a nuisance because the Law of Stupid Consequences mean these are the A-roads where such a facility is most likely to be needed (particularly so that recovery lorries have somewhere to dump crashed cars).
It's on her own blog. I suggested it so it's kinda my fault. The good thing about animals begining with G is she gets giant pandas and not those little red ratty pandas.
hehe, sounds like Goodwood!
Speaking of this, why hasn't Formula One done a crossover show. For example there are TV shows in America go to all the hottest parties in the world. F1 and Bacardi should sponsor Kimi as he travels around the F1 world going to the hottest parties over a race weekend and make a TV show out of it. Who wouldn't watch that?
But that is a reply {Comment #984}
It's a reply to the journalist, not to Ferrari...
Kimi prefers to party behind closed doors
[ahem, private rooms even]
That giraffe photo is incredible!
oh comments on her blog? i'll have a look... gosh so much to keep up with, i haven't even opened my feed reader today...
OK, I am now off to bed.
Sweet dreams and happy conversations to you, and hopefully I'll have Part 1 of my "Sidepod Travels" recording for you by the next time we hear from each other.
It is a really good photo
and where is your latest blog miss lou? hmmmmm?
Cool :-)
The more I think about it, the more I remember he talked about a mega hangover. I think he was complaining because it was a struggle to go anywhere ;-)
night Alia! good luck tomorrow!
Night!!!
i have about 3 1/2 written... :s only 1/2 written... i'll get the rest written asap sir! before the angry mob hurt me...
Bit of surprising news regarding Bernie...
MOB ON DEF CON 3
Night Alianora
That sir, is brilliant! Love the other links down the side as well!
Haha, i love the sidebar... that's brilliant!
My favourite bit is that it was print screened 5 hours ago.....so thats where you've been hiding....
The story was posted 5 hours ago ;)
The next big Tim!
Def Con 3?... what's that? it sounds scary...
mmm, yeah, thats what i meant :D
DEFCON 3
This refers to an increase to force readiness above normal. Radio call signs used by forces change to currently classified call signs.
i love that Jenson has won more things! :D hehe
the comments are really scaring me tonight... :D
Then my job here is done.
Night all
night Jon... have a nice time in london tomorrow!
Night
