Today is apparently National Literacy Day, so... why not read a book, or something? Anyway, useless fact of the day out the way, here are some of the things we're talking about at the moment.
- Liuzzi finally has the second chance he's been looking for, with his confirmation as Fisi's replacement at Force India. The universal opinion on Sidepodcast appears to be a resounding: yay! So, let's hope Liuzzi can live up to his potential.
- The ongoing Donington saga continues, with Simon Gillett continuing to assert that plans are on schedule for the track to be ready. The quote: "Donington has moved forward an awful lot and we are really comfortable." I feel better, don't you?
- James has written a great silly season starter, with the six drivers we know have contracts, and a lot of speculation about the rest. It took me by surprise to note there are 20 seats without a driver at the moment. 20!! We have some fun and games ahead of us.
That'll do it for now. As ever, you can use this thread for any topics you want to talk about, but if there is some F1 news that requires a breakout thread, let us know and we'll get one started. I'll see you in the comments.
A new day.
A new dawn
How is it midnight already? I don't understand sidepodtime
I should point out that Wikipedia lists Alonso as being a Renault driver next year. I didn't include that because 1 its Wikipedia and 2 the reference used didn't mention it.
I think its reasonable to assume Not Seb and Buemi will probably be in Torro Rosso next year.
I have come up with that just now though ;)
hmmmmm
He replied to me with something similar the other day...
@Twiger Everybody speaks in English, right? Its easier to everybody! I could write in German! But many people wont like!
wouldn't the easiest thing be, do tweet something in german?
Maybe Kathi should send a tweet in German to see what happens
very good plan!
Ja, Das ist nicht so gut.
See! Even I am an expert! :P
Infact...
Ich bin fantastisch
:D
loving this article from tony dodgins on crash gate:
http://www.autosport.com/features/article.php/id/2367
the case made... schumi attempted to crash his car at rascasse and all he got was a trip to the back of the grid. it proposes that he was meant to crash much harder, but couldn't go through with it.
a precedent set?
I fear i have broken the rules again...
Sorry, I cant help but love my skillz ;)
I keep meaning to subscribe... I promise myself i will do it once i have read the latest GP+
Then they go and have another race before I catch up...
Interesting. I suppose they could argue qualifying and the race are different but it just another example of Max's blatant bias towards Ferrari creating problems
also points out the team boss didn't get hung for it. in fact he may be in line for presidency.
Trying to clean up my desktop, i have accidentally managed to create a toolbar window... cool feature i never knew Xp had!
The FIA? Following precedents? You're having a laugh right? :-)
The sooner Ari gets in the better.
comment rules are written in a deliberately vague manner so that we may interpret the as we see fit, when it suits us. max taught me that one.
*Starts work on the Double Doohicky for the 2010 season*
:P
true.
That's quite an assumption. Even if it is true, the fact still remains that he didn't.
Also, it is entirely likely that Mr S was working on his own and his boss did not have to be involved, whereas with Piquet there is necessarily a wider conspiracy throughout the team (if true)
Why aren't computers easy to work with? (first person to mension a Mac gets a punch)
Upgrade your OS? :p
I belive he was... It doesnt take a genius to work out what was going to happen and how to stop it.
PK on the other hand... that plan must have been worked out before they even got to singapore...
Shhhh!!
I have no idea whats gone wrong, i have a USB du-jit, and it takes sound from the microphone into the box thing, and then to my computer and conversly takes sounds from my computer and microphone and puts it in the headphones....
but its only putting sounds from my computer into my headphones, its not putting my mic sounds into my computer
Clearly he didn't mean to crawl up to the wall, stop just off it and get back on the throttle again. He meant to crash and either blew it or bottled it.
Schumacher surrounded himself with people who madea career out of cheating.
really? you don't know that anymore than i don't know if he meant to crash harder.
Sure, more Ferrari members could have been involved but not necessarily.
To Snow Leopard. ;)
= Vista Epic fail
night/morning everyone
Is the mic muted? that was the problem with my built in mic I couldn't work out why it wasn't working.
evening sire!
Is that Vista's new name? :D
nope, i can hear it in my headphones, the computer just cant hear it, its really odd
Sounds good to me
Yes.
Windows 7 is anything but fail ;)
also known as 'better use Windows 7, even in beta'...
ok. was massa involved in rascasse-gate?
had he been asked to crash instead? was there a last minute change of plan after the muppet binned it in qually one instead of qually three?
maybe he wasn't a muppet, maybe he wanted out of the agreement?
we'll never know, but it's not impossible.
I've just realised that with Sir Terry Wogan leaving the Radio 2 Breakfast Show (more listeners than that Chris Moyles oaf) and Chris Evans replacing him, fans of the show will no longer be TOGs but COGs.
I wonder if Mr C will start listening?
that is odd. are you sure you have the correct input selected?
my softwares having compatibility issues in Vista, i cant imagine what would happen in W7
mmmhmmm, everythings working except the computer cant hear me, i can hear it though, and i can hear me. im so very confused
you think i'm getting up before 10am on a weekday?
The point is correct though. For the Piquet thing to work there HAD to be a conspiracy and therefore lrgally it can be construed as not following the precedent of the Schumacher case where he could have acted on his own even if I don't believe that is what happened
oh, sure. there is no solution to that (although they said they have improved the compatibility mode, and you can have virtualization built-in. but it's a step up from Vista in any other aspect
Evans is getting a breakfast show again. It's going to upset the TOGs but it will get more listeners than Wogan
iPlayer?
Right, i'm going to bed before i break something/someone.
Night all
boo. night jon.
night jon
Night
mr. c, do you have one minute to search for my first comment on SPC? it should be at the end of 2008 (or it was beginning of 2009...?)
am on it.
I'm off too. It's not been a great evening.
wassup sir?
ok, thanks
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/01/03/fantasy-racing-2009/#comment-171122
i think.
Hello all
night!
Mr. C! And a good day to you, Sir!
hi joe
hey joe.
Just in time... i thought we all had to go to bed..
yeah, it looks like. many thanks.
Not even close, it's only a little past 8:00 and college football is on
night andy
For some reason the UK has been denied NFL Monday night Foootball.
Its strange that they want to sell the game to the UK buy having games here, but wont put it on TV...
Miami vs state?
Who are you rooting for?
Really, the Bucs are playing there this year, but they're not looking too good. Who denied you the football? ESPN does MNF now
It works a bit diffeent over here... The NFL sells the games on to broadcasters. Usually Sky (pay tv -fox) have the sunday games.
then sunday and monday night football were shown on a free channel -(Five)
The london game and the superbowl are shown on the BBC.
ESPN just launched a channel here and they were expected to show monday games, but they arent... So it isnt on any channel :(
Sorry, I think that England should get to watch REAL football. Just go to the game, I've seen them and they look like a huge party
Sounds a bit like cricket ;) I might be tempted...
Its the week before the AD GP though, if i am going to that wont be in the country..
the NFL is fun, but the soccer hooligans add some fun to it with their songs, that you don't see in the US
hehe, the one think i miss about not going to soccer anymore are the songs... they get very creative!
You don't get that stuff in the NFL. But you can also sit next to someone who is going for the other team and not get into a fight
Okay, headed out to the Lanai to enjoy more beer and listein to the UM - FSU game on the radio. Have a good night.
Today is apparently National Literacy Day, so… why not read a book, or something? {Original entry}
I'm starting Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett. This is somewhat out-of-sequence as I was reading Witches Abroad (the sequel) for much of last week...
night joe
vaguely related image
:D :D :D
Rugby and cricket are like that here, you still get songs at the cricket too..
We have a group of fans who travel with the team called the barmy army..
hehehe...
But How!?
http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/07/offensive-line-not-the-only-thing-broken-at-oklahoma-game/
there was a story a few (10?) years ago about the US Navy shifting all the computers controlling their submarines and aircraft carriers to WIn2000...
It must be a primary output screen then?
Strange... the only thing i have seen similar is broken screens with xp login on the tube escalators...
how do you even get windows onto a single line display?
nt4 wasn't it? divide by zero saw the warship stranded.
could be, my memory fails so far back :-)
It must be a primary display as well?
Very odd
heads will roll?
Depends if some clicked 'report this error' or 'ignore' i guess :P
ha!
Hows the new look site coming along? Any spoilers? ;)
hehe. nope. all backend stuff at the moment, i have achieved nothing tonight though. i blame rossi.
tomorrow i shall probably shut doohickey :)
Impossible, i have often looked for the elusive shut button :P
They only way to escape is for mad drama to take over your life!
that just leads to live streaming?
Ah, didnt think of that... :D
Good News for Felipe- I found this Ferrari statement
Today Felipe Massa had plastic surgery at his brain box, where the spring hit his helmet in the accident at the Hungaroring on 25 July. The operation, at the Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein hospital, took around four hours and 30 minutes and had a positive outcome. After a short stay in hospital Felipe can go home and then start with his physical preparations.
Hello. Anyone around? :)
very good news indeed :-)
hi. just came back from dinner (but will hit bed soon...)
Sort of :P
I have a wisdom tooth coming through :( It's too sore for me to sleep
aaawww :-(
are you going to extract it or it's just a one-day pain that will disappear?
hmm not fun i get that once or twice a year...
Poke yourself in the eye?
It doesn't feel like it's rubbing or anything. I reckon it's just a sore gum. I'll go and see my dentist if it doesn't get better :(
You need to distract yourself... I have no idea how...
oh, I have something like that roughly twice a year
I hope you get well then!
Ashes song?
The cowbell!!!
If you had a fever, its the only prescription...
I do have to say, as a Scot, I'm not so moved by derogatory cricket chants though :P
I've taken to listening to the Grandstand theme song :D
I must go to bed. night!
Night :)
Morning everyone...
Sorry I put my head ping on silent!
Morning Alex. It's nearly getting up time for me. Not looking forward to work today. You have to work at this time too?
Yeah... I do... You don't look like you've gone to sleep so much either!
Something particular about today?
Nah, it's just grubby weather and it's my first early in about 6 weeks and you're right, I've not had loads of sleep. Booo for early mornings!
yes boo indeed. Left the house to go to work at quarter to six yesterday got home at quarter past nine. Went straight to bed and still knackered. Not as tired as yesterday though - phew!
Weather's alright here. And supposed to brighten up later become hot even. Not for you?
No, rain and strong winds all day!
I thought that was good weather for your part of the world ;)
Pah!
So how are we going to get you to forget your tooth Alison?
My suggestion is that every time it rumbles you say, "Ow my tooth really really hurts really loudly". I'm not sure but I think it might help :)
I found some teething gel that belongs to my god daughter! I can't really get it to stay on the right place though.
Morning all!
Morning!
This is a very uncivilized hour to be up and about working. Just realised that I'll miss Sidepodradio because I'll be working that weekend. Boo hiss.
so early night didnt work for me last night, still tired today. Might have a second attempt tonight. Dont think i mind not being on spc if all i miss is people insisting i am crazy to find motogp boring ;)
I'm on CET so it's not so bad ... but why is a freelance journalist up so early and working? We are supposed to be envious of you that you can do what you want!
You too? BOO!
Very happy today because my Hungarian colleague has bought me a pair of Tisza Sneakers - only available in Hungary! Isn't she nice?
Booo!
Did you finally see my Gamboling article Amy?
i did! I tried to comment but couldnt from my phone. Mick is truly famous, you were right.
Hmmm... Well, not wanting to sound like an old fart, but to my mind MotoGP at the moment is some way off being as exciting as some previous years. The 1998 SBK season was a classic.
Ah, I'm at the beck and call of others, though. Editing text for the WTCC yearbook at the moment and then up to sunny Teddington for the day. Work is piling up faster than I can clear it at the moment!
Well you have a point there ... the days of Foggy, Slight, Crafar, Corser etc were very good too. My problem is not that people don't like MotoGP - that's fine. The problem is that how can you like F1 and then say MotoGP is boring in comparison? To paraphrase Mr.C. the other day, F1 is like church and MotoGP is like a rave...
Heh. Opening laps of a WTCC race can be a riot as well. M Haven deserves a medal for being able to commentate coherently under that assault.
Stuart, what do you think of WTCC versus BTCC? I know both are not a patch on the Super Tourers of the '90's, but for some reason the privateer nature of the BTCC makes it more enjoyable for me...
Very rare in these days of high street ubiquity...
Don't you just hate buying an item of clothing and then seeing someone twenty-odd years your senior wearing the same thing? Or is it just me?
Nah I hate it too - or when that person looks like a munter!
Oh yeah, and Haven is awesome! Have you heard his rants on Midweek Motorsport? The one after the safety car incident in Pau was a right gem :D
In recent years BTCC has been a bit more low-rent, but as you say the privateer element gives it a certain frisson. It can be quite action-packed.
On the other hand, it's now banned in our house because of the race format. Mrs C (my Mrs C, not the other Mrs C) had a sense-of-humour failure one Sunday afternoon: "You mean there's THREE races???"
That's the exact reason why I am so far behind - When I sit down to watch something I feel compelled to watch the whole "weekend" - and 3 races is quite a while!
I distinctly remember an on-air one a few years back. He was mid-way through a highlights reel when he realised that something was awry: "And of course, ladies and gentlemen, this is the Renault Clio cup from Spa-Francorchamps and not the Nurburgring, as previously advertised on the other page of my script..." There followed the sound of him theatrically screwing up said script.
Ah Brilliant!
The funny thing is, had that been the other guy (I think his name is Charles something?) he may just have carried on!
Ah yes. Carlton something? He's been the focus of much ire. I stopped watching the ALMS years ago because he kept getting the drivers' names the wrong way round.
Right, I'm off to make ready for the rest of the day. TTFN!
See ya :)
it is official, it will be Felipe baby or baby Felipe :-)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/sep/08/felipe-massa-interview
FELIPE BABY BABY! :D
I'm just reading that now...
That was a brilliant interview. I can't say enough how much I like that man. I really hope he comes back 100%!
Hello one and all.
Forza Massa!
Morning, everyone.
Is it wrong that as I read the bit about him hoping he won't change when he gets in the car I can't help but picture Ricky Bobby "I'm going fast again!" at 26mph.
Very wrong, but quite amusing :)
:D
am I the only one who finds will ferrell extremely annoying ? I never managed to finish a movie with that actor in it :-)
Sorry, I think that England should get to watch REAL football. Just go to the game, I’ve seen them and they look like a huge party {Comment #73}
Sorry, but the way my home team's town gridlocks every time they play at home puts me off. It's worse than Silverstone was, and there's only about 4000 people turn up for a typical home match...
Good News for Felipe- I found this Ferrari statement {Comment #102}
I am very pleased. It will be good to have Felipe back racing soon.
Ah, I’m at the beck and call of others, though. Editing text for the WTCC yearbook at the moment and then up to sunny Teddington for the day. Work is piling up faster than I can clear it at the moment! {Comment #140}
Wow - you are being kept busy!
Don’t you just hate buying an item of clothing and then seeing someone twenty-odd years your senior wearing the same thing? Or is it just me? {Comment #144}
I don't think that's happened to me since sixth form, when the school had a uniform. That's probably because I have very little fashion sense and nobody would want to be seen in the sort of clothing I wear. At least if you see someone twenty-odd years your senior wearing the same thing, you can conclude that great minds think alike...
yay!
YEYY! I got it working...i had the input plugged into the input, not input into output. Whooops :D boo-to-the-ya-to-the-ka-to-the-sha!
ace. did you fix the problem in your sleep too?
its on tv right now here so I'm giving it another chance. zzzzzz.
shhh, dont tell anyone, but i read the instructions ;)
hehe. i still want my 10mins back after last time.
what exactly dont you like about it?
i think i said it all yesterday. i'll only annoy gavin if i say it again.
i do wonder though, if we all have to like one driver. cause it's the law. what's the point of the other drivers?
we talking yesterday yesterday, or this morning yesterday? ill go fish for comments
'bout 9pm.
thankinya
ooh finally got a response from McLaren. I can't help but feel that a week is too long.
it's been so long i forgot the question?
Still waiting on an order from more than a month ago. I wanted to word it 'wheres my Heikkiiiiiiii' but didn't. :D
have we plugged lee's alonso homecoming post?
"As he did endless laps of the two-kilometre track, he would stop, get out and run to the crowd, taking cameras off people, taking photos and sometimes making his own on-boards with someone's video camera. I have no idea if the cameras ever got back to the correct people, but someone in the crowd got them!"
how freakin' cool is that??
So Mr C... you'll like this... Yesterday we found somebody connecting to our SQL database using Windows 2000 and Access 2000. It wasn't quite FoxPro on Win 3.11 but it was almost as much of a problem...
Also I never thought I'd have to see named pipes again!
Awesome!
aren't you so happy you forgot to go?
hehe. you might want an api for that.
:)
i wouldn't have ever gotton around to it. it required planning and if christine wasn't going there was no-one to plan.
I didn't go either. I remember discussing this with you Mr C way back when it was mentioned in the debrief :)
It didn't really work anymore... we asked them what they were doing and we showed them the webpage which already did all of the thing for them that they wanted. They almost cried.
I didn't know you really wanted to go. I have no problem planning to send you away somewhere.
:)
Mr C looking through plans...
Step 1 - Mr C goes to Spain
Step 2 - Redacted
Step 3 - Redacted
Step 4 - Redacted
Step 5 - Mr C returns from Spain
Step 6 - Mr C learns to love SidePodPanda
:)
Hehehe.
you would have to send a packed lunch for each day of awayness too.
The thing is I don't think he'd read beyond line 1 until line 1 had been executed so you probably wouldn't need to redact anything.
very freakin cool. does it say clearly that the drivers are accessible when not jailed behind the paddock walls by FOM or FIA or whoever decides ?
That is very true, I would have to do that. Or send him with a sign round his neck like Paddington. 'Please look after this podcaster.'
:)
I never said that - I just can't understand why you don't, that's all.
Taste is a purely personal thing though.
:D
I have no problem with likes and dislikes. My problem was that the things said about Rossi were the sort of thing we normally don't like being said here and were (a) irrational (b) untrue and (c) just to provoke an argument on a slow night.
That was what annoyed me. Fine, don't watch MotoGP - but don't just say it's boring and then attack one of the riders unfairly - it's too AUTOSPORT forums for my liking.
FIF1 test at Cotswold Airport
Questions: Why not Kemble and what were Brawn doing when they tested there?
i didn't say you did? i said i'll only annoy you by talking about it.
steven said it, but he's wrong.
that is kemble.
Eh? Is it a crap name like London Oxford Airport? Why not just say Kemble?
Best quote about an airport ever:
It's always nice to be able to test on a long runway and they've got one here.
...Because when we tested on a short one Tonio forgot to brake and ended up in the trees at the end of the runway...
it used to be called kemble airport. at least that's the domain name.
i've no idea why they rebranded but rob works there so he may know more.
You implied that I did by putting that underneath a comment about annoying me. Steven's comment just looks like a joke to me.
You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, I just thought it was unfair on Rossi what you said.
Do we have to shout like last night?
ROB!!!!! Why is it called Cotswold Airport?
see i've annoyed you already.
Jon's life lesson #246 - You should never try and record ANYTHING when either Skype or Tweet deck are running....
Is it in the Cotswolds? ;)
Domain says Kemble, title says welcome to Kemble, news talks about Kemble, Page says Cotswolds?
Eh? More confused now!
they better make sure they have the wings fitted in the correct way, they do not want Tonio to lift off :-)
yes.
DING
i know someone who still hasn't learnt that.
Umm you should tell Declan Brennan - he has Skype Chat open during MWM and you can occasionally hear a squelch in the background!
@realvettel says Monza is one of his favourite circuits, and thet from now on will be busy and will have no time to type - does this make him really real ?
he has a phone? cant he do it on that
I have doubts about this account - suddenly we start to question him and he disappears...?
can ask him, he is on twitter :-)
I have doubts since the only question he answered to verify himself I found the answer to on google in 10 seconds. But I shall continue to follow until I find out otherwise :D
his english is better than that, right?
he sounds like borat
yes, but there are many many questions ... :-)
I like question! Is nice!
I think the only have for @real_vettel to prove he is real is to tweet a photo from parade lap (or onboard shot from the race).
my keyboard is giving me seriously hard time today, I have to leave it alone
Where can i get copyright free Motorsport images?
What kind of series? Something specific?
GP2/F2/WSR (predictable i know)
Am putting together a mini site
You are welcome to use my Le Mans pics? I dunno, ask around your motorsport friends on Facebook?
oooh good idea, thanks! i'm gonna email a few people, see what i can find!
you're gonna ask people for permission to use their pics? that'll never catch on.
:D
my idea being that if i can get myself on the radar of the championships im publising then it will make it easier for me to get stuff done in the future (potentially)
completely agree.
My memory problems are spreading from past F1 races into every day life. I cannot for the life of me remember my internet banking logon, that I use almost every day.
amysbankaccount?
its a 8 digit number and I can only remember the first 4 :(
I think I shall sleep on it and it will come to me in the morning.
you still have 25 minutes?
until I'm moderated? :D
i don't want to give you nightmares :)
I answered my phone and it was YOU and you said "I didn't want to put this where everyone could see it, but maybe you should just stop and think about how much you are commenting, and the effect this might have on others" and I felt so guilty :(
I log on to finf MrC is phoning people now? 8O
*runs like the wind*
I had a nightmare last night... my iPhone was cracked (the screen).
:P :P :P
...as if i'd use a phone.
mind you, i think you may have beaten lou's total from last year already. think of the effect this might have on her.
only in my scary dreams!
thats baaaaaaaaaad. booo ;)
I'll have you know I never once featured in the top 5 when it was still around :D The 800 comments that tend to come in while I am sleeping help :D
Ah good, i have been trying to cut back, but Its tricky
yeah but it's your 800 ;) you must be sleep commenting
nooo when I went to sleep last night there was 352 comments on the daily and when I woke up this morning there was 1086 and the only one that featured my name was this one :D
Amy can you give me some advice about Melbourne 2010 best value seats best place to stay. Quite interested to visit OZ next year Thanks
The question is....would you want to cuddle Kimi if you were teary? Or Heikki? Or mika?
best value seats by far is one of the 4 corner packages, because you get to see a different part of the circuit every day. I wish every track had a package like that!
Best place to stay I'd have no idea. I could recommend a backpackers, but I have no idea about hotels.
probably Heikki because he seems like the nicest :D
ok thanks would you be interested in a signed heikki poster?
the silverstone package is all corners fri/sat and numbered seating sunday.
it rains there though
a lot.
I'm interested in anything Heikki ;)
at every corner
but see that leaves me back with my 'i cant make a decision' issue :D I need to be given a seat in a specific place or I'd spend 4 hours thinking it over and miss everything :D
Dude! get a magic 8 ball!
four minute warning.
;)
I had one but its in NZ :(
OK Is your email on the site somewhere? I got an extra poster signed when I was in Bahrain so you may aswell have it as his BIGGEST fan
since I went to bed 3 hours early last night can I have an extra 3 hours tonight? :D :D
yes.
I don't know exactly what is going on here, but if you are supposed to be telling the time for someone else... that is a silly idea.
oooh that would be so lovely! I don't think my email is anywhere, but it's just my full name (which is all over the internet, ie my twitter username) @ gmail.com
woo!
amy asked to be kicked off at 2pm. although that was yesterday and i forgot.
the clock has no gone from lclt, so i'm doing it meself.
*now gone.
ok no probs i will email you for details and send it on
I was planning a full week of being in bed by 11, but yesterday I was in bed at 8 and I slept for 13 hours so there is no chance of me being tired tonight.
just so i don't upset christine. i am a full 24hrs late. i'd hate her to think i got the time right.
What's on on a Thursday at the Melbourne GP
Thursday is practice + qualifying for all the support races. It's also the day all the drivers make their appearance at the autograph stage so I spend most of the day camped out there. For a first timer it's a good day to go and walk around and suss out the track and the merchandise shops and stuff.
OK cool thanks for the info
phew... I was starting to worry.
That's actually good advice for most tracks - except for Le Mans, where you get 30+ hours to suss out where everything is ;)
Alex, were you a good student?
and for club and national races too....you turn up on Thursday and they'll be noooobody there ;)
Umm... Might have been... ;) I did drop out of university as I mentioned on my most recent blog post: http://www.gamboling.co.uk/2009/09/as-i-was-saying-to-mick-jagger.html
(Did you spot what I did there :)
Is A1GP going to have a programme starting this year. Seems their calendar still has only two races confirmed.
Yeah I did - I wonder if Mick was a better one ?
I think it's a gonner :(
Its only chance was to help support a FOTA breakaway. With that gone, A1 is probably dead in the water.
I (hearts) Audacity!
Do you... Do I need it?
Really isn't looking good. Shame it was good to see some of the upcoming f1 drivers.
It's tres easy to use, i loves it
It did wonders for... well, Nico Hulkenberg. Not sure anyone else really benefited from A1GP.
What you need is a podcast about the feeder series, maybe about GP2, WSR, F2....if only such a thing existed!!
OH WAIT! ;)
I can plug as good as Alex ;) ;) :P
Hello! You're all gonna be so proud of me!!! :D
Nelson Piquet Jr, Scott Speed
Why?
What did ya do?
Piquet and Speed were moving up whatever happened, especially Piquet with his name and father's funding.
Earl Bamber, Chris Van Der Drift, Neel Jani, Ho-Ping Tung...
Frank Montagny, Adrian Sutil
Sebastian Buemi
Where are they now, exactly?
They drove in A1? I don't remember seeing them there...
Ahhh, yes, Buemi. But he's also Red Bull-funded like Speed.
I think it's probably fair to say that some people did benefit from A1GP ;)

can't see it but I'm guessing curtain rod!
Pah! One second.
That's not the point - they have moved on to other series and got valuable international exposure they never would have had...
mmm, i'd agree.
Ta Da!!!
Oh WHAAAT???
zing, I was right! How did you do that?
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/success-jpg
heheh. have we introduced ya to the preview button?
Sutil 05 Montagny 07-08
Just go on drop and look, it's easier ;)
Well done!!
CURTAINS!!!!
I don't think drop.io likes the ! in the filename, it disappears in the link
im not sure it was Alisons fault, she did what is usually done
But I think they would've been able to move on to those other series regardless of A1GP if they had the talent and/or sponsorship to do so.
Montagny I vaguely remember. Sutil I don't remember at all...
Indeed. :D Well done!
But the drivers from NZ would have not had that chance because it costs too much - Colin Giltrap helped them get exposure they otherwise wouldn't have had...
reserved character?
fair point.
Woooo indeed! I got my cousin's husband to put scaffolding up but then he had to go and do actual work. I took the pole down. The reason it'd broken there was that it had been made in 2 parts that were screwed together. The pole had started to split at the join.
So I drilled a hole at the other end of the split bit and reversed that section! I feel very proud of my DIY skillz
none of the above. what happened was alison linked to the file and we all clicked the link before it had finished uploading. drop.io returned an error and now that error is cached for 15 minutes.
essentially, shoddy coding from mr. c.
Wow. I woulda just bought a new pole.
It also seems a fair few have moved on to Indy Car too
Oh okay. I used the share image button. I've never used it before and thought I'd see how it worked.... I'm not sure that's something I'll try again :P
I am not sure if that is a better series, TBH...
I went to look for one after work yesterday and I couldn't find one anywhere! I'd have to drive to Manchester for one I think.
i'll fix asap. tis my fault. although it never hurts to preview comments if you're trying something new ;)
I am impressed :)
I'll let you argue with an American about that one.
:D aww, don't be too harsh on yourself. it'll be fine. ;)
Don't blame me :(
I bet there will be some damage on those new monza curbs this weekend.
99% of the time it's good. when dropio integration was first implemented, that was actually the best i could do.
since then though, there have been updates to google appengine which will let me look for errors and then not cache them. the error will always be an error if drop.io has not finished processing, that's out of our hands. but it's daft to cache an error.
there's new kerbs? those old ones were high!
as if :)
i just like plugging the preview button, because it's awesome. even if no-one knows it exists.
at the first two chicanes
I am not here.
I just noticed Lukeh has two pics in dropio tha have his phone number in the comments. Can a memeber of the management delete his number?
Well done Alison. You probably qualify to be Basano's assistant now.
dont they make them higher each year. soon it'll become a street circuit
I use it all the freakin' time. I would quite like a badge for being the most prolific previewer.
on it now.
really? oh cool, sorry. anyone else?
I think I have used it about 6 times ever. Does this earn me a podium?
Sexism in action? ;)
FYI, the F1 Rejects Eurogian podcast is up. :D
Lots of stuff about Badoer - pretty good stuff!
i swear we should just make it a requirement before posting :)
Have we mentioned this Jake post yet? Is there something about being a journalist in the paddock that makes you want to get behind the wheel?
P.S - Preview button used to check link works. Brownie point for me.
Maybe it's because I don't have an orange drill :(
♥
Awwwww. :D
Speaking of which, did you guys see Bartley won at Brands Hatch?
wooo! *waves silver fern flag around*
he does seem to be doing exactly the same as jason, only four months later.
Yay!
Instead of a sliver fern, does he just shake his head and wave around his hair?
I never did understand why he didn't get that Torro Rosso seat! He was reserve driver for like 2 races then they realised they might actually want their reserve driver and they replaced him....
right, time to go to bed and cuddle up with my Euro guide book. I think I have found the perfect place to stay in Milan. Monza here I (and others I force into it) come!
Hehe, dont do all your planning now or you wont have any left to do by the end of the year! :P
Night!
Night!
Eurgh mental block! Do you ever just forget really obvious things that you should know. Like your PIN number..... How embarrassing!
New blog post: http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/09/08/sidepodradio-f1-top-5/
I was trying to sleep and my head pinger told me to come back. Just as Alison forgets her PIN, I was lying in the dark and remembered my netbank logon! Hooray!
ahahaha :D love it
Not hooray! I was at the shop and it'd gotton to the stage where I was gonna have to put my shopping back then I remembered. It was awful! There was a huge queue
So can only one of you remember things at a time?
it happens to us all. Along with forgetting my logon today, at my old job we had a keypad to get into the locker room and after working there for 3 years, one day I just couldn't remember the 6 digit code and had to ask my boss to let me in.
We're the same person didn't you know....
On the 12 hour time zone shift... I worry about what happens when Alison goes to NZ!
I will be 2 hours away, so you only have to worry about the 4 days when we are in the same timezone. New Zealand might cease to exist.
Or maybe it already doesn't exist and it's just an elaborate hoax that you're not in on.
I am stressed because I don't have any post-it notes and I'm trying to mark pages in a book. I am literally counting down the hours until I can go and buy some. Does this sound like something you would do? If so, we are the same person.
I have been there, it has to exist... Scotland on the other hand...
in on?
Which is it am I in or on NZ? arrrrggggghhhh?!?!?!
Erm I can't say I've ever had fits over the lack of post-its, no. That might well be because I have a large collection of them in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and I would never let myself run out!!!
I'm very glad you've not folded the pages down. Then I'd have to kill you.
I'm also a bit stressed because I want to highlight things, seeing as its a guidebook, but I hate marking books :(
On a more serious note it is an old slightly formal English way of describing things to say in for Islands. If you asked the Queen or Prince Charles they would say "in".
This would mean death from me too.
I'd be killing myself before you got the chance. It makes me cry to see people do that :(
Ah, Dont worry about it!
Firstly they go out of sate quite quickly so dont worry too much
Seccondly it makes things mush easier to find.
Thirdly you can make notes as you travel which will help anyone you lend the book to or yourself if you want to go back in the future
I think we say in just like you would say "he's in London" or "she's in Canada" we view the North and South Islands as a place name rather than an actual describey thing.
If i dont have a bookmark I do very tiny ones... they flatten out and you never know...
Much better than leaving it forced open so it damages the spine. That really annoys me..
THERE'S ALWAYS A MARK!!!!!
NICK!!!! RUN!!!!
Tiny... better a mark than the pages falling out...
I wouldn't do it with someone else's books, but i am probably the only person who will read my own so i am not too fussed :P
*Plods in.* Yo
Too tired, body dead from swimming this morning
Hows Miley? ;)
the trick is to always carry a bookmark, for emergencies. Just like you should always have a pair of 3D glasses.
Sigh, never going to let me go of that are you lot.
Have i missed something?
oh yes!
No, no you haven't.
hehehehehe 3d glasses? Apparently they do work if you wear them outside of the cinema... You can see real life in 3D!
I normally have a train ticket or some old loyalty card in my wallet i can use as a bookmark, but emergencies do happen!
I know this is a joke.... But I have to admit that I have one in my wallet :(
I am researching montorsport results in Montana as we speak ;)
so do I :D no glasses though, but I know someone who does.
I am off to see the new Final Destination movie in 3D though, maybe I'll keep the ones they give me :D
No luck so far, although i am impressed their local tv station carrys f1 results!
*kills Nick*
Sorry Nick - but you'll learn from this ;)
I saw that a couple of weeks ago. I kindly left my glasses at the cinema though. I now feel I've completely offset the carbon from my round-the-world flight
Best I could do was Rapid City Sout Dakota, which is pretty close to Hannah's state
That was probably more effort than it was worth... back to reality
Thanks, he knows too much.
About you and Miley?
There was a machine in Sydney at the science museum which calculated your carbon footprint.
My 14 flights in the previous 12 months to using it broke the machine :D
Sorry Alex, it has to be done to you as wel.
I recently found out that a girl I went to school with has become a super-greeny made a decision to never willingly set foot on a plane again. I could understand this if you lived somewhere where you can drive to another country, but now she is pretty much trapped forever on an island containing 1 million people.
...hopefully . .
Thank goodness...
she could row?
:D
haha
Good man...
Now repeat after me... There is always something that can work as a bookmark... There is always something that can work as a bookmark... I will never fold a page... I will never fold a page...
Well you've heard my attitude towards carbon offset.... I think you shouldn't waste energy or whatever. I think you should be as efficient as possible, but I'm not gonna let it affect my life. I've only been 2 places by plane in my life to date and they were both islands....
oops.
this is what happens to people who try to row to/from NZ
I just had a sudden panicked moment....
With all this talk of folding corners of pages down...
Nick has a copy of my book! I hope he doesn't fold down the corners of the pages in my book!
Of course if he did he could buy a replacement copy at the new low low price of £9.50: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Missing-First-Page/dp/1847991211/
my theory is the plane is going anyway, either with or without me on it.
oh no....
Now Mr C killed Ringo and Heikki...Alex has killed Nick and will probably kill Mr C too
But he was kayaking, not rowing.
This is why you need a kindle
either way, its still a boat without an engine
i watched a program on him. it was really sad :(
Alex Andronov, the king of the plug since 07
agreed.
It is daft though. He should have had proper safety equipment and probably a GPS, they're not THAT expensive.
I only just found out about 2 minutes ago that they made a documentary. I might hunt it down, it was big news at the time.
Well there is... i am talking about situations where there is nothing to hand...
Long flights or sitting by the pool when you have 3 books you are going though...
it was really interesting
just steal the airline safety card, no one reads them anyway ;)
That's true... I do often find myself plugging things like my new blog/podcast here: http://goforodd.com

Following Jon's life lesson #264 (TURN ALL SOUND EFFECTS OFF BEFORE YOU RECORD!!)...jon has now decided to become a Monk
every single time I read that I think it says Go For Rodd and I think 'who is Rodd?'
When you take the books with you why do you not place bookmarks in them before you leave the house?
I know somebody called Rod. Maybe I should have him on as a guest.
I use post-it's ;)
Shame The Simpsons only spell him with one d
:lol:
Afternoon peoples
Ah planning... seems like such a good idea...
try get some sponsorships from these guys
That's like some of our routes that used to be constantly missing life jackets becuse the sign said "Your lifejacket is under your seat"
Some passengers were putting them in their bag thinking they could take it home for later use!
We changed the sign in the end
My mum was a librarian. Obsessive book care is hereditary!
But you are taking a book. you are remembering to take a book with you... You are picking up a book and you think... "Ah I know I'll pick up a book to take with me on holiday, but I wont both remembering a bookmark or my eyes".
I think it's about comparable ;)
I have never though of doing that!
Hehehehehe
Guess what I'm gonna do next time I fly! Why haven't I done that before....
♥
But i buy books as i go... sometimes the shop you buy them from gives you a bookmark, or you can use the recipt. the problem comes when you read a couple of chapters then put the book away with the bookmark in it... then you start t next book and there is nothing!
Just hope that if you do ever need it, the passenger before you didn't have the same idea then!
my dad has a dinghy that I've never bothered to go out in, but now that I'm being given a free lifejacket on my way to visit him, well, I might just have to take it out on the harbour!
called dignity?
Note to self, don't go on any journies over the sea.
Mr C:
I see the F1 Insider App developers are linking to the favourable review of their app. Did they find us or were they pointed in the right direction?
Either way, it's a good move
If it won't fly, you think it'll float? ;)
i didn't do nothing, guv. woke up and there was a link. i plugged the post on twitter, but didn't mention any brand names.
I use Cambodian or Laos currency, cheapest bookmarks ever!
Cool beans
Read one book at a time?
I have hopes
I saw the link arrive live... But that doesn't really help much...
On the subject of links (and this isn't a plug honest) I've noticed that blogger have changed the way pingbacks work and it's kind of broken... On my most recent post on gamboling it now looks like yesterday's daily linked to it... Which it didn't somebody (aka me) linked to it in the comments. That's not how it's supposed to work is it?
it doesn't appear to have a name. ;)
I just realised that my dad has been photoshopped out of that picture :D
well. that wasn't how it used to, no. but is there a spec that says what should/should not happen?
i guess google figure a link is a link.
it needs a name.
sidehullboat?
and a bottle of wine to smash against it when we name her
I've just realised it's nearly hometime. That means I missed lunch.
It's getting a bit html again ;)
and you laughed at my countdown?
Aren't you hungry?
I call it brain fade. :D
What a waste of alcohol
See the thing is when you start the new book you put the book mark in before you start reading... I think you are making the mistake of thinking of the bookmark only when you need to save your place... However how many times do you finish a book in a session.
I may be slightly obsessed with this.
Nooo, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at whoever entrusted you to do a countdown.
That's normal, we all get that now and again
there is plenty of alcohol-removed wine in my flat, I call that a waste of a bottle.
:)
have you heard of boats? ;)
Nothing wrong with that!
I guess cruise ships do stop by from time to time. But they're full of old people.
Sounds like the Sidepodshopping Network. :D
:D
And energy
Think of the carbon footprint of an alcohol-free bottle of wine
It should be banned by the green party
:D
I did write a book about a book with a missing first page... I suppose obsession with the horror of people defacing books knows not much higher than writing a book about that.
Or stop one
Cheaper than Vietnamese Dong?
:D
I'm saving those, they're my favourites :)
I looked into going from NZ to Aus by sea and it's really not easy! The only real way of doing it is on a granny cruise.... That or finding a rich man with a yacht.
I'm not rich but...
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/img-0287-jpg
I met a man in Cambodia who rode his motorcycle from Glasgow. He was heading to Australia!
Cool! :D
You can sometimes hitch a ride on a cargo ship. It'll cost you though.
yes I don't know anyone who has gone between the two countries not on a plane. My flight from Melbourne to Wellington is cheaper than my flight Wellington to Dunedin (in 5 weeks from today, hooray!)
My hero?
I need to get it down to NZ by when? November...
I'll leave now..
This for November 2011?
By the speed it was going yesterday...
2020
You might be a bit late ;)
Never, but when i pick up a book my first priority is reading and not book marking!
A small 2mil triangle in the corner of the page hurts nobody!
hmm... *wonders what would happen if I folded the corner of a certain book and dropio'd the pic* :P
SidePodEviction
Yeah, I'll just rob a couple lifejackets from the plane. I can't see any flaws in this plan at all....
I think i am infected, i keep removing the zombie brackets but they keep coming back!
Can a zombile come back from being killed twice?
Now thats a name for a new Dr Who villain. The Zombile.
We all know that raing drivers have to say for sure on a regular basis but this week I have noticed that everyone on any of the Leo shows when asked a question always starts the answer with "So..." It doesn't matter what the question is or how inappropriate the So is it is like they are compelled to use it. They say So like it is a sponsor. I can't believe I have never noticed this before.
I haven't packed for my Danish excursion. The big question is, do I brave the spiders in the cupboard to get my proper bag or do I just ram everything in my nice (spider free) weekend bag?? I'm fresh out of chestnuts.
@NobleF1: Ferrari/Santander press conference at Monza on Thursday at 4pm #f1
What on earth are they announcing? A Ferrari credit card?
I have a horrible habit of saying 'To be fair'
so?
You mean they don't already have one of those?
so?
this could get annoying quickly :)
oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
to be fair, saying to be fair is a bit annoying..
to be fair.
i blame alex lindsay.
A new one maybe!
Its the only thing it could possibly be!
so?
S...
Ah forget it
On the subject of said book...
Are you really supposed to put cooked and raw meat on different shelves of the fridge?
If so, which way round?
Spider-Bag sounds cool
Take that one
Whaaaaaaat??? Haven't you ever been taught basic food hygiene??
raw meat at the bottom so the blood doesn't drip onto the cooked
Raw is always below
So it doesn't drip onto the other
Raw meat comes in sealed plastic pots... It cant drip!
I think the other comments from the other people will let you know I have not made this up :)
Huh? Raw meat comes in pots? Raw meat comes from animals....
Too much research!!!!
Well yes... but then it goes to a butcher in a meat packers who puts in its packaging. its air tight! it cant drip!
:D
What if you don't use it all at once? (this is the eternal question isn't it.....)
Do you always finish all of the meat from the tub in one sitting?
this is like the bookmarks thing all over again ;)
Who puts something that is likely to drip in the fridge without using tupperware?
I am amazed... Nothing drippy gets in my fridge!
does meat in the UK really come in tubs/pots? I feel very foreign all of a sudden
hey everyone
Oh hahahahaha Alex!
I generaly cook it all... and then put what i dont use in the fridge or freezer.
I cant leave raw meat once its been opened.... think of all the germs!
heya lou
No. Although you are speaking to the vegetarian. I have never encountered pots.
Raw on the bottom as it has nasty stuff that hasn't been cooked out of it and you don't want it dripping on cooked meat that you are going to eat
That's completely the wrong way round. It's best to leave it raw.... Then it gets cooked again!! It's doing scabby things with cooked meat that's the problem!
3 pots of pork sausages just doesn't sound right
Hi Lou
Well, you guys do put Beetroot in burgers
That's just wrong :)
Pretty much all of it from the supermarket... http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Images/ExternalImages/ProductsDetailed/13/029513.jpg
http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Images/ExternalImages/ProductsDetailed/61/012461.jpg
this man makes me feel alright again. Meat trays. The normal way.
It's covered in the stuff before you cook it. That's what kills 'em
It also dries out...
Cook it and put it in Tupperware Its not like its going to be there any longer than 24 hours, 48 at the max.
Any longer then you just freeze it!
thats not a tub :P Tubs have lids that can be taken on and off, like margarine comes in a tub. Meat trays are covered in glad wrap :D
SidePotCast :D
Its like a sealed meat tray.
I love the way they raffle meat trays in Aus... when my dad moved there he couldnt belive it, he still buys a silly amount of tickets when there is one on!
i am in danger of learning something here...
I am trying to remember which story this is in. I remember writing about it... But I don't remember which story it is in. This makes me very worried.
everyone had a nice day?
That's cling-film to us, folks :)
Yes thank you :)
oh yes. yourself?
look away quickly!
I'm going to glad wrap the yummy cheese.
As much fun as you can going back to school.
Not great but better now I'm not at work
And you?
from hungry jacks
Well... *stands corrected :P*
It isnt really glad (what a silly name ;) wrap, its like a think seal!
The whole thing is totally air tight... it could defiantly never drip!
Oh Nick, I'm afraid you're going to have to go on this course before I go anywhere with you on your yacht!
[Burger King] ;)
It was my yacht ta ;)
Unless Nick actually has something better than a wooden frame filled with fizzy drinks bottles?
:( Oh
I used the preview button and everything! Why didn't it find the fault in my posting?
Awesome I have a Yacht!
I can cook, i love cooking, i am completly self taught... I am probably too paranoid about meat hygine to let it get into a state in which most people get into trouble
The first half of this module could be interesting
Handling and maintaining knives and cleaning equipment
:D :D :D
Alison, dare I ask about the poorly curtain pole?
Where's the bit where it gets him to bring enough bookmarks for the voyage?
drop.io is your friend...
Of course, how silly of me
Ta ;)
You certainly can!!
:lol: :lol:
it worked :)
I used to have a sailing dinghy in dubai...
But no, although my dad does have a motorboat in aus which i haven't seen yet as he moved to his new amazing house 2 weeks after i left :(
YEYYY TOPPER :D
Hurrah!
How did such a miracle ever occur without an Orange Drill™?
When we go sidepodpubbing i can see Alex turning up with a big box of bookmarks... then more for Spa...
That pic made me miss it...
I need to move overseas...
it's been busy :( and i'm full of cold, however i'm not as grumpy as i was yesterday :)
I got someone to erect scaffolding and I used a vice and a (grey) drill :(
I havent sailed on my own for a very long time :( boo
can I come? I have this qualification
You can teach me... Its sorted I can do the course as we sail.... :D
You are NOT in charge of looking after the teaching materials....
I have one of these
Don't laugh, I really do!
there is a written exam and a practical one. Does the boat have a galley?
Oops, meant to quote the qualifications post
My trip to Spa feels so much safer!
righto lurvely peoples. i shalt be leaving you for this evening in, order do get spc some work done. i think there might be a pitlane fanatic quiz this evening. hopefully someone will plug it later on.
Quiz. On a Tuesday?
Best course I've ever done
We talked abouut serving alcohol in a responsible way for the day, then afterwards, half the class went and got hammered in downtown Sydney :D
it's tuesday?
Yes.
Do you need a countdown to Wednesday?
scrub that then. there might be a pitlane fanatic quiz tomorrow. but i might be back before then.
how can it only be tuesday?
Launch control fail?
You've confuggled me now.
LOL, lack of sleep Mr C!
Ciao (potentially)
what about me? i thought yesterday was tuesday. anyhow, i gotta go.
See ya
Of course! Its a Yacht!
There is nothing which can be done to the meat as long as it is in sealed plastic
potstrays!Ooh, I guess there aren't many doctors who like formula 1, they want alcohol marketing banned
Which vice would we turn to for cash if they had their way?
gambling in Monte Carlo
IT. Financials. You know, the vice of... greed. :D
:(
To sponsor F1 teams?
Anyways, doctor's have the highest levels of alcoholism out of any profession....
They should know then
yes. If you bet enough on the right thing, funding for years!
Having spent many a night at uni with the medics and there crazy pub crawls in scrubs..
HYPOCRITES!!!!!!
*Dont tell Flav*
All students are genetically dutibound for drinking shenanigans
There's a special constituent in the medical variety.....
see ya Mr C :) have fun doing work ;) i should go get some homework and prefect work done in a second... hmm...
Did everyone see Novak vs McEnroe?
hehehe
the quiz might be back?! woohoo! :D
just catching up on comments...
ahh that's good news :)
hehe this is awesome :D
ah i wish i'd been there... how amazing.
Brawn used it earlier in the year.. i remember because i wted to go and have a look, but dad wasn't going that way till the day after :)
i don't mind people beating my total from last year...
Heh, wow.
you have prefect work?!!? whats is that?
OMG... Stupid train had no aircon and it's really warm today - sweating like a pig and felt like s... so tried to sleep and had a shower. GRRR!!!
I heart Nole. And Mac.
From Amy much earlier:
Mind you, you were nowhere near as addicted then as now - you were a newbie (albeit a record-breaking one already) back then (twas the end of March). :D
well.. as i'm pastural prefect i have stuff like sorting out the rotas for peer mentoring, writing up stuff for the peer mentor meeting i'm in charge of tomorrow, sorting out plans for when people are free so a group of us can come in and paint/redesign/save a room in our school so we can have it as prefect studies and stuff (bye bye weekends), then there is sorting out student council election forms, emailing various teachers and making sure i'm all prepared for house meeting on friday with stuff for house drama... being a prefect is hard work...
hehe, werent you supposed to go to bed 3 hours ago? :P
McEnroe LOVE!!
I got given a 3 hour bonus 4 hours ago. Good thing Mr C has left ;)
says she slept 3 hours early last night - figures she can use up the extra 3 hours today. :D
:D
This has nothing to do with milk?
:D Awesome!
I need to go to Tesco's in a bit... Does anyone want anything?
I could go for some "crisps"
Get me some chocolate and do they sell time, I really need more time.
:D at 3 AM?!
hahahahaha
I remember one of my friends saying they used to have milk minders in the lower years to ensure everyone had a glass of milk in the mornings!
That was cool, but what brought this about?
Most newsstands sell TIME (the magazine). :P
ahaha no.. not unless you count running school council which means i may get sixth formers coming to me to ask for our kitchen to have more /different/less milk delivered
Aha, thats awesome
Ok, i may have to eat them for you... is that ok? ;)
They are an anytime food
I'm watching Outrageous Fortune, this episode has 20 minutes to go :D Then I will sleep :D
'Crisps time' is 24hr baby
So generous!
Time as in the stuff clocks base their principle around.
anything with lots of caffine in it please :)
I will by TIME...
I fear this may end up being filmed... or at least photographed...
headache and general forget the day that just happened tablets :(
Hehe.. I know!
Maybe it can offset the swimming i did?
:( What happened?
I dont think i am allowed to mention the brand on a family friendly site...
But how about i get beer instead?
Overworked + unreliable 'friends' + unhelpful management , all combined with 10 tablespoons of stress, = s'meh. Still unsure how having a single person run an entire supermarket's frozen department, both on the shop floor and in the stock room at the same time, is sensible but what's done is done...
anyways... the less I talk about it, the better to be honest.
Oh okay! I work in retail atm. It's a nasty life.
Hope tomorrow goes better :)
It will; I have the day off :P
:D :D
Hey guys, How about the latest Bruno Mantovani to cheer you all up? :D
ehehehehe
Remember when I said Liuzzi deserved his own blog, well
http://liuzziappreciationsociety.wordpress.com/
Does this mean Timo doesn't deserve his own blog? :P
Awesome, im glad he is still making fun of Rubens!
Timo is too ultra cool for his own blog.
Plus I still need an idea for a title, I heart Timo is well, nicking it off Mrs C a bit.
Tim O'blog... Would be good but impractical
There is a panda game on Android Marketplace but I dont think MrsC will like it...
Why, is there a shotgun involved?
Okaay having just returned from my emergency lift giving mission I am now very tired! Is that an excuse not to tidy my house up?
I have friends coming to stay the day I get back from Denmark. Hmmmm
I havent installed it but i think you have to throw the panda...
Off to Tesco's for fun!
Right, gonna do some homework before I end up doing a Timo blog. Ciao for now.
Tough call
You know you should, but...
Later RG
Panda Sumo could be fun
Cya
I might just shove EVERYTHING into my bedroom then refuse to give them a proper tour....
Perfect
You could hire Bassano to build you a secret hiding place to shove it all.
Hmm, I do attaching ok. Actually building stuff, well...
This is my idea of how to tidy up (from about 4:20, although the whole episode is awsome!!)
Pingu is the shiznit!
what a legend!
Pingu should commentate on f1. Legard would be put to shame
He's not already?
Mwaaaam Mwaaaam
I mean against Pingu. Pingu's up there with Murray.
Pingu's WAAAAAY better than Murray
Oh well. I think it's obvious what I've decided.
Watching Pingu > tidying the house
Agreed
No contest really
Evening all, rubbish day at work but come home to find Play have posted my copy of Alex's book. It should be here tomorrow so feel much happier now. :) How are we all this evening?
Evenin. Just got home and realised I've left my iPhone in my mate's car! Thankfully he doesn't live far away, he's in Wymondham as well, so fingers crossed my other mate who was with us can get hold of him and get him to drop it round. There was swearing involved when I realised I didn't have it :P
Hey Janna & Scott
Hello. :D
My turn to go to bed. Night all. :D
hey lukeh,
when i started off at uni i worked similar conditions in a supermarket - it sucks, but you gotta do it or find another job.
All the hassle is worth it when you have an awesome degree and get a ggod job, trust me!
Sleep well Journeyer
Night Sir
I feel like a blog post tonight.
Well then pull yourself together man...oh wait, wrong joke ;)
Evening.
Evening!
Carlton Kirby. He's just about tolerable on reasonably short live racing like DTM. He can't fill on longer stuff like ALMS though, and he is utterly hopeless on any kind of highlights package - I wanted to say lots of angry words about him last night when he was basically spoiling the end of the race 20 minutes before the end of a 1hr highlights show.
Totally. Just one of them days, everyone once in a while the step will be larger than usual but you'll still climb it and move on ;)
Great stuff :-)
#sidepodspace
Unbelievable as it seems the space shuttle Discovery will undock from the ISS in an hour. Half an hour later the shuttle will begn its fly around of the ISS. Normally this provides some of the best pictures of the whole mission.
NASA TV is already live on the build up to the undocking.
Evening all!
Isn't it great that Scrubs is back on E4, yay!
So much love for Scrubs, what a show. How can a show be so utterly brilliantly funny yet totally tragic the next minute?
Oh yeah totally. See, it even makes me speak american.
The thought of Scrubs has got me thinking now... has anyone here ever watched the american comedy TV show Arrested Development?
Probably funnier than Scrubs personally yet no-one watched it. :( So vastly underrated and underwatched yet got a stupid amount of awards and critical acclaim...
Can you check? Either a yes/no so as not to make it a numbers game?
Can someone tell Steven when/if he's around that i'll do my show for SPRadio! I'm going to record it now, back in around 30 minutes
Agreed!
haha, nice work :-)
have your tried shouting? that sometimes works... depending if he has his headping turned on or not :P
STEVEN!!!
I will tell me. Thanks Jon
Thanks :)
You rang?
Hah, I didn't want anything. I was shouting and you appeared.
1 second from your shout to my reply. Best one yet
Only on SPC could I see a picture of a straight curtain pole, inwardly smile, and know exactly what it means!
awesome! :D heya (i'm not here... i'm doing hw i promise)
:D :D
Yeah, I should be doing that, but the Ireland game is hooking me.
No worries, i was thinking about the planning it would take, but ive got some songs and am just playing it by ear :D
#sidepodradio update
I see Gavin has signed up to do a show and with Jon's show we have a full schedule again unless Alex runs into trouble with his pre-records as he suggested yesterday.
Can everyone who is plannng to leave voicemails for any of the shows do so as soon as possible because Christine and Mr C have a lot of editing to do before sidepodradio Sunday and we don't want them too frazzled before the day starts.
Good plan. Just busk it
Do we still need filler thingies?
Will leave everything tomorrow. Did you get the Valencia Predos alright with me using my PSP?
So I'm cooking bolognese. I say that, I'm cheating with a sauce, or I will be when the meat is ready.. Unfortunately the spaghetti I thought I had, it isn't there. So I either convert to the twists (fusilli?) or I do an emergency switch into a cajun thing with rice.
Hey dude,
I'm too tired tonight but I will tomorrow. Also I'll write a guest post for my show too.
Scott, when are we doing SRW?
OK,
Sauce from a bottle is fine - even the Italians cheat sometimes - and you are allowed to convert to pasta too ;)
Fusilli is the best kind of pasta ever invented!! Not sure it's ideal for bolognese though.
Must... not... spend... money... on... Beatles Rock Band...
but it looks soooooooooo good. :(
Sauce from a bottle = okay.
Using the wrong pasta for the type of sauce = crime worse than death in Italy
Always. You havean idea?
Erm nothing very original... I was just gonna ring up and leave a random voicemail if they were still needed.
Pasta is pasta
Good stuff Gavin. looks like an interesting idea for a show
Go for it
It is even an Italian sauce, Bertolli, 'cos it was on offer in the shop
Not necessarily true - my Gran and my Mum made whatever they had in the cupboard...
I like it. It'll have to do.
Can you leave the sauce to reduce for a bit - it might stick to the Fusilli better...
Good!
I'm not Italian or in Italy and I like trying new stuff. Could be fun.
I went to an Indian's house for dinner and she made a curry from a starter kit (and added ingredients) - she said it was because the spices were so good and it was more convenient!
Thanks - I hope someone is doing a cooking show too!
Last song currently playing, where is it going?
Voicemails are a good idea. Everyone should leave them for at least one show if not more.
#sidepodspace
10 minutes till separation of the space shuttle Discover from the ISS. 40 minuts until the shuttle begins its fly around of the ISS which is well worth watching especially if you have never seen it before.
NASA TV just announced that there will be problems getting TV pictures during both the undocking and the fly around. Is it any wonder they have trouble getting their budget approved when they do all the best stuff without proper coverage.
LPG is teaching Mr C something!
So happy to be straight after it.
It's called the cooking show and is at 18:00
Do they need food hygiene advice? That's as far as my cooking skills go!
Mr Roy...where am i sending this show?
Gavin! Question about graphs and blogs.
How do you get them out of Excel and into the blog without them looking terrible?
http://drop.io/sidepodradio
I will send you a PM via the wiki with the password you need to upload it.
I still dont understand how uncooked meat can drip through a seald plastic container into a sealed Tupperware container with cooked meat in it :P
Mercury Prize announced today? Only BBC2 has 30 mins? BBC3 or 4 used to do lots more in the days when nobody could see those channels.
(1) Click on the graph and copy it
(2) Open paint
(3) Paste
Dead easy!
All plastic is porous to some degree.
I did that. Saved it as a PNG, insert into blogger. Appeared too small. Resized to make it readable, it got blurry. Same result as a JPEG.
Actually I didn't copy/paste, I PrintScreened
Then why do they put cola in plastic bottles?
It would have to happen incredibly slowly, certainly less than 24-48 hours
Also some of those tray packet things are polystyrene. It can certainly come through that. In addition, it might not be yours that's split. They're stored in huge volumes at the supermarket, if another packet opened and spilled juices onto the outside of yours, they could drip onto stuff in your fridge.
The real reason is that people are sometimes clumsy when they pick things up and knock the lids of and spill cow juice everywhere. If it ison the bottom shelf and cooked meat on th top it is impossible to spill on it.
Steven, the password you sent me dosent work. Can you try it on yours to see if it works?
I will check.
ta
I am still not convinced...
It all sounds like an old wives tale!
Um, I just copy over from Excel into paint and save as a 1-1 Jpeg,,, then I open Windows Live Writer and insert the image? I don't understand where you are going wrong here?
Will this stop Jon from referring to Jon's self in the 3rd person?
Jon will not
I must have missed that Alex has a podcast now?!
Yup, tis really good
What if there's a split in your "tub" then it would drip. Accidents happen you know :P
Jon,
I have gone in and told it the pass word is the on I sent you. It should work now.
He has only done a couple
ta, it works now
A curtain pole could fall on it from a great height
Thanks Jon. I have no idea why it didn't work in the first place because I set that password for it on day one.
I'm gonna take a quick listen to it, just to make sure i havent commited any felonies, make sure theres no swearing in hte tracks!
Smack into the fridge door, break the vacuum that's holding it shut (;)), knock the meat off the shelf and all the juices could go in your humous.
And that wouldn't be funny at all
Will try copy/paste after sorting food...
They were young when they left.
I hate NASA. I hate NASA. I hate NASA.
Since last night I have been looking forward to thefly around of the ISS and they have been plugging it like Alex and now they decide there will probably be no TV coverage of it after I have told everyone to watch. Sidepodcast needs to take over from NASA TV before they blow the whole space program
I think my original question was do they need to be on different shelves...
I assume from all that has been said that this is safe?
I will have a listen when it uploads as well.
awesome! i mumble lots, but i get my point across eventually ;)
They should privatise it all...
It would stop them trying to launch rockets from unsuitable places and i am sure tv coverage would be a top priority!
NOOOO what if the juices don't drip, they just pool on the shelf.... :P
Its a wire shelf...
The reason I prefer doing live shows is that once it is done that's it. IfI screw up live I screw up.
grrrr... i may have to miss quali this saturday to come into school and paint a room... grrrrrrrrrrrr
*goes back to doing work*
Well yes I suppose I could live with that... As long as it's the bottom shelf :P
You have to wonder with all the satellites whizzing round up there how is it possible to be out of range at an altitude off 200 miles? Have you ever seen one of those sky maps of all the satellites? There are hundreds of them
you have to go to school to paint a room?! its that what hte janitors are for!?
your school is wierd ;)
Are you sure that is not the oven?
Nooooooooo :(
But the botom shelf is the bottom of the fridge and not a wire shelf... it could pool!
Plus the beer lives on the bottom shelf..
i've spent most of hte day recording my podcast which will be aorund the same length as the show i just did in half hour, its taken me that long because im really particular about my sound etc etc. i think i like doing it all in one
it's cause i'm a prefect... and apparently. 'it would be nice for the people who want to use the room/ are arranging for it to be used got involved with the actual painting and redecorating too...' i may scream... however.. i also may do a blog series on the transformation of the room.. cause well.. it will give me something to write about. not sure it's overly interesting.
You don't want to protect the precious beer from meat juice??
It's like watching paint dry...oh i mean reading ;)
Mmm Meat flavoured beer....
The beer comes in glass bottles with metal tops... there is no way the juice is getting though that!
niiceee. lol
i may, as it's a saturday, bring my laptop in, connect it to the network and watch quali while painting... not sure if it's worth it though...
It could stick to the bottle and grow mould
Have you ever had beer chicken? you take hte ring pull off a can of beer/cider, drink half, put some holes in the sides, shove it up a chicken, then cook it!! mmmm
You can;t miss quali. You need a TV or something! It's only fair ;)
Hook up a webcam and we will comment abd advise
You cook the can?
This sounds like a good idea in principle... But i have never liked it...
You cook a chicken with a can in it?
omg my friends would think i was nuts... not sure they'd be up for me being on the laptop much, other than to listen to music and erm, watch live timings...
It just gets hot and a bit black, its fine ;)
Cider is better than beer for it
Introduce them to the doohickey
grrr. iplayer.
"When the FIA put out their feelers...."
My personal quote of the year
I'm going to believe that you are correct without confirming by doing my own experiment :lol:
ahaha, ta ;)
So the juice has to somehow penetrate the airtight packaging, fall onto the steralised bottles and grow in a darkend fridge... all before i drink it?
I think i will take my chances on this one :D
but the beer would run out?
No, you balance the chicken on the beer can....so the steam cooks the inside of the chicken. mmmm
You drink out the bottle though?
hmm.. i may do... not sure how much work i'd get done.. i may try it though... i really don't want to miss quali if i can help it. maybe i will schedule a lunch break for 1-2...
The chicken is vertical??
NASA finally got me some pictures
grr it's not the same :P
ehe yeah
GENIUS
Why did I never think of this in work!
BBC live stream, sorted
Sometimes... depends
we have a tv in the common room... hmm......
So the meat juice full of nasty germs is on the outside of the bottle and you then put it in your mouth....
Or you pour the beer into a glass along with the germs. You need to cook them to kill them :(
This is insane!
A- the juice cant get out of an air tight pack!
B- the beer is vertical, id say there is a 75-80% chance any of these impossible drips will hit the tops.
C- when you drink out of a beer bottle you dont suck the top only the rim touchesd your lips, the rim is covered by the crown in the fridge!
D- There is more chance of the Fridge exploding!!!! :P
Sory i meant there is a 75-80% chance the drips will MISS!
You are assuming linear vertical drippage
Packs can leak!
Murray is loosing badly in the US open. Amy will be most disapointed...
1 in 10000!
Ooh. Tweet from Lord Drayson a lot earlier today:
"Starting Jan, next year will be SCIENCE YEAR on the BBC (gr8). What would u like 2 see / hear on science on the BEEB??"
coool
How many packs are sold in one day?
Horizontal drippage?
I think you're being taken for a rid here Mr Nick
I was going to say the same to Alison :-)
I have no idea.. but when you pick it up it will be pretty obvious the pack isnt airtight and therefore leaking!
I refuse to belive anyone is basing there life around such ridiculous odds.
If they are they must never leave the house.
Steven, it's uploaded
oh noes! what;s the score?
*ride
Damage potential during carriage home.
That's because eating raw meat is a really bad idea.
7-5 6-2 3-2 to Clic.
Looks like he can go back to being Scottish again... ;)
I tell people who eat sushi they are absolute fools. I am yet to convince anyone its the dumbest food ever to be concocted.
:( :(
Diagonal non-linear drippage owig to cow juice running along shelves and one leak dripping in multiple areas
Well thats just greedy
Then you don't want to know how much I ended up paying at a sushi restaurant a few weeks ago (I didn't know how bad until I got the bill!)
Have you read some of th things that have been said about outside on this site
i am still waiting to learn about how drips move horizontally.
I have seen water flow horizontally but never drip :P
Thanks Jon
She will be happy - she doesn't like Murray!
7-5 6-2 4-2 to Clic
She's a big fan...
Is she? I thought she made comments about him wanting to lose not long ago...
Good night all - turning in early coz I feel like crap :(
Night Gavin
night
Amy doesn't like Muray because he passed Nadal in the rankings
Boo! Hope you feel better soon
Night
Its all a big act ;) She may even like him more than Heikki....
i know how you feel, night Gavin feel better soon!!!
Night Gavin
oo i got a reply from Keith re all that yesterday... question for you all.. do you thhnk i should take his advice and change my twitter pic to stop this kinda thing happening again, as there are no useage restrictions on the photo as it is?
Maybe after he removes your pic from his site
No.
There is... there may be no restrictions on the image but there is on the content...
Otherwise the logos of Autosport, F1, Mclaren e.t.c.. are all up for grabs.
Why should you have to change what you do with your image? He knows someone owns the photo regardless where he found it. Because twitter put no restrictions on it does not mean he can use your face.
*waves at Twibbon*
Murray is out.... he's clearly demotivated. He should retire.
EJ needs to have a word with him
What exactly is the issue with it?
As long as Wozniacki doesn't go out, I'm safe in the black.
Oh, I return as well ;)
oh :(
Hi Ej!
I blame KERS not working on his racket
It actually ended up give him six inches of extra hit.
I see on AUTOSPORT that Renault asr brining KERS back.
essentially the fact it's here... without me saying it could be used...
WHAT???
(i'm not here)
He labels Liuzzi as 'Hairstyle'.
*Shakes fist angrily*
i am stunned. lemmie just catch up with the comments.
he only suggested it
"I take care to ensure compliance with copyright laws, however there are
no usage restrictions on the picture, which is why it never occured to
me you might not want it to be re-used. To prevent other people doing
likewise in the future, it might be better to use a different avatar on
Twitter"
So you ain't here, but still catchin up with those comments?
what do you think? do you mind it being there?
That link is redirecting somewhere strange for me... has the post been removed?
that's strange... link is here.
http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2009/09/01/f1-fan-twitter-teams-twibbon/
There are use restrictions. YOU took it!!!! and he asked you to change it !! the cheek
:)
honestly... if he had asked me in the first place i wouldn't have minded.. but i don't really want it there no.. he says he'll remove it for me, so that's good.
yes there are! you're in it. you didn't sign a model release form. every original work of art is implicitly covered by copyright unless otherwise stated explicitly.
all is well with the world :)
however...how long does it take to remove it!?! it's a minute job. boo
exactly, you took it (well it was on your camera!), you have to say you can use it! gah
If its still there and he has refused to remove it after you asked.... that is really wrong...
Perhaps his site needs a visit from some angry people?
it took him a day to reply to my email yesterday, even though i emailed him within 5mins of him asking me to email him with details lol :)
Sidepodmob?
no.. he say's he'll remove it.. well he asked if i wanted it removed, i said yes in my reply and now we wait ;)
sadly, knowing him it'll make no difference. for starters complaints add to his comment count and nothing makes him happier.
tweeting him however...
@Jon
Am listening to your show now and it sounds really good.
give him a chance to get my emails and stuff though? i only got his email/replied about 10mins ago..
oh no, i'm missed stuff, i'll catch up tomorrow, promise.
goo jon!
ta, it was a bit ummy-errry at the beginning but it gets better as it goes along. the 30 minutes went so fast!! i could have talked for another 20 ;)
a) he shouldn't have used it in the first place
b) he should have removed it immediately following your first tweet
I just checked and I am 20 minutes into it. I thought I had heard about 5 minutes.
ah.. okay.
btw i love that the spc community is just that... a community that look after each other, it's nice to know. thank you :)
Toothpain :(
I have some cocodamol, I'm so tempted to take it! Seems a bit extreme though!
thats 100% my favourite thing about everyone here :)
OK, conspiracy theory time from 5LiveF1
"@jakehumphreyf1 See you out there! Got a very exciting opportunity for you in December. Will tell you more on Thursday..."
ahem, Jake Humphrey for 5Live for 2010
All for F1 and F1 for all!
aw no :( is there anything we can do to make things better? show you a photo of a panda or anything?
Jake and Ant to morph into one super dude.
yell if you need us. you're not in any way in the wrong here.
you take great pictures. you'll probably find throughout life, that less talented and talentless people try to take advantage. it's good to stand up to them once in a while.
Ah I wish I didn't say that with Photoshop open
This always cheers me up
or one average sized, awesome dude? :)
You do know this can go on for years before the tooth eventually appears
nahhh.
they're gonna have a race, right?
Don't do it
When did Timo become attractive?
:D
Sounds to me like Jake is going to be driving something interesting in December
Probably, but thats boring thoughts.
BBC to be fronted by Eddie Jordan.
Are you suggesting since 2007 he has become ugly??????
Ants Virgin F1 car?>
am being sent back to work. later all.
One super average height dude
see ya Mr C :)
aha, ciao!
You copied my line before I said it
Cheerio, me laddie
Errrrm..... It's just that that's really not what I thought he looked like
Laters mr c
ahah
I'm keeping one eye on you.
See this is not the same man.....
Mr C killed the original Timo and replaced him.
Because he is smiling. Everyone looks different when they smile
haha :)
He did whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Paul McCartney got nothing on this
It doesn't normally make them ugly :P
Yoouu aaaaaaaaaaaare a sidepodeeerrrr
oops, wrong song ;)
Awwwwww
ouch... lol :)
Just listening to the closing music of Jon's show. That half hour flew in. I am really looking forward to sidepodradio Sunday now
I.don't know what to say.
Wooot, im rather annoyed i cant be there! Will catch the end bits though probably....
It's not just the smile though.
Nice Timo, odd looking Timo
Are you really telling me that's the same man? If so, I'm never getting married.
If it's any help, I didn't see him smile once at Goodwood. Grumpy sod.
You can listen to it all during the week.
Your all evil. I'm going to cry in the corner.
Hey, I didnt saay he wasnt awesome!
I hope so :)
Too late.
Hah. I said he was good looking (initially) :P
Charles Pic, any ideas how to say the Pic bit?
It is. It's just in one of them he wasn't worth $5 million
somewhere between Pick and Peek (or Pique)
(I think)
timo seems to have done the opposite to Jenson... as Jenson is more attractive now than he was a few years ago..
awesome ta
Yeah, although I've always had Jenson love.
You need this.
same... :)
ahaa amazing, although im not sure it will cover F2 and WSR drivers ;)
Anthony Davidson's is the best.... :D
la la la la la
LOL
hehe i like Jaime's lol
What do you mean you don't pronounce the h?
Stupid name.
and Fernando's :) ahah
"My name is Sakon Yamamoto, my nickname is Sakon..."
THATS NOT YOUR NICK NAME! THATS YOUR NAME!!
Amy's gonna love..
http://www.namethatdriver.com/f1-lehto.asp
Scott Speed's is intresting
No one has messed up my name.
Oh really Mr Scott No-Speed?
hahaha :)
Romain Grosjean sounds so bored in his one... poor him.. lol
He said pronounced when he meant spelt..... :P
He was born on the 17th April. Have declared him now super legendary.
Mark Webber is also good :D
Is it just me that couldn't hear the difference between what he said at first and his "worst pronunciation"?
well... this super legendary guy crashed into Jenson and blamed Jenson... this does not make me a happy person ;)
Renault 3.5 (WSR) has a driver called Bertrand Baguette leading it, this is in fact the best championship ever
So is DC... worst pronounciation: Ralf... eddie
The worst one has a silent s in the middle of Grosjean.
Jenson should know where he was going then, he clearly turned into Romain.
Mmmmmmmmmm.
Bertrand.
ehehehe
ahaha Lewis even gets 'vodafone mclaren mercedes' in his! ahah
Actually the difference is the jean part should be pronounced zhon and in the worst it is pronounced yon
Sato's is, well, short and sweet.
Just like his races.
hmmm.
I decided you insulted Timo, therefore, payback.
Why are they all saying "good luck"?
i didn't mean to insult him... it was just an observation, i still think he is awesome :)
Maybe it was the old version of "for sure"
no idea. but i have an urge to use all the good luck's and put them into one mp3.. and then play them before an exam, just to make me smile..
Just less awesome than he was 3 years ago?
Good, good.
curious winner of the Mercury Music prize
no no no... i think they guy himself is awesome.. just less attractive...
For sure goes back to the 1970s. Emerson Fittipaldi usually gets the blame for starting it
Im sorry but this is just comedy gold... http://www.namethatdriver.com/a1-digrassi.asp
Okay, you might be right then
Sinister Timo
Okay, explain why Sutil doesn't say it the same both times.....
Okay, maybe it didn't work for Timo in 04
Take the blue pill, neo
That is just odd
First time he says it in the Anglicised way, second time in his native pronunciation. Or something.
evening :)
Yay lovely news :)
Hmmm he's German. The second time didn't sound all that German to me.
Hello all.
Blimey. Am I going to have to buy a copy of this book?? I hear so much about it!
Good evening everyone :)
Hope everyone has been behaving themselves with Mr C off coding like a madman!
i think i need a copy too.. i have no time to read anything other than set texts.. though :(
Well if you are interested you can get copies from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Missing-First-Page/dp/1847991211/
Did I mention there is a discount at the moment ;)
evening
Evening
I think so!
The URL of that really does it no justice....instead of the book title "the book WITH THE missing first page", it just tells you that theres a book for sale, and its missing its first page, and its probably in tatters. ;)
That's good! I looked back through the posters and thought that with no comments from either Mr or Mrs C for a while I wondered if somebody might have cracked open a bottle of high sugar energy drink, everyone would be eating smarties and playing pass the parcel and when they came back the whole place would be a mess and we'd be sent to our rooms!
That's true... Hmmm...
Before I start spamming this place with Timo pics, head off for now. Lotsa love.
I am lurking.
We knocked Timo down a peg or two and made fun of drivers' accents. That's about it :(
We really should have been more inventive.
I'm not getting rid of my head btw, did that sound like that, no? yes? sleep time.
hehe keeping an eye on us from a far?
Mr C did appear briefly to have a mini-rant ;)
Before?
Night.
night R.G
Ciao!
That was just the tip of the iceberg.
Nico Hüüüülkenberg says Kathi has been getting hs name right and everyone else has been wrong. He also doesn't know the difference between spellig and pronouncing
Hello... RG opened the Red Bull... We wasn't doing nuffink! Honest!
Do I need to post the pingu again?
i was so hoping Florence and the machine or friendly fires would get it tbh :(
I try to go to bed and people start blaming me, c''mon, we all know it was lukeh.
Really, night.
Okay I believe you!
Someone invented a religion once on here....it was an odd sort of day
I too am going to bed...
I ain't sayin' nothin'
I was hoping for Bat For Lashes or someone else.
But I heard Speech Debelle during the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, she did a pit in the studio, I was intrigued then.
*bit
Jon may have made me buy a few more domains just then! Tsk!
night Alex.
night..
What did i do!? I got a .tk one today, and i didnt pay for it. I love .tk
Night Alex
p.s you were convinced by my mini-bad-mood-rant...sucks to be you ;)
.tk is free?
Night to everyone who is leaving
Aslong as you have 27? hits in the first 90 days
If you need hits let us know. We can do hits
I decided that I needed a better link for my book.
Is .tk a country? I can't remember ever seeing it before
ehehe, i am aware. My last .tk site failed because no-one really visted it....this one...i feel may get more than 27 hits ;)
I want to start the country of Tiki Tiki to get it signed up
It is, but they sold on their top leval domain to a company i believe as they didn't think they would need it.
my friend fourstar who is interviewed on http://goforodd.com has http://www.adrian.tk as his domain.
I'm not
here of course.
discrete, i like
I don't want to make a big deal about it.
oohkay... i just stood up and got really bad head rush and nearly fell down the stairs... hmm... bed time i think. night all x
night!
:( not good... hope you feel better soon though
Night :)
Night!
At least the spiders will keep away if your a bit ill ;)
Oooooh nearly LegoLand leaving time :D
Night lou.
You are leaving tonight?
When are you going?
night
In the morning :D
(I still haven't tidied up and I'm blaming Bassano!)
I did also finally give in and take some painkillers so hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep tonight.
How long are you in Denmark for?
4 days. Just a mini-break.
Long enought to relax and enjoy it then
Yeah. It'll be cool to spend some time with my sister, not having to think about anything else. Plus everyone loves Lego!
I might not make it back in time for Monza though. I'm not really sure what F1 coverage is like in Denmark.
You should have asked Gavin before he went to bed
Yeah, it doesn't really make much difference. Either I get back or I don't, not a lot I can do about it.
So long as you on't mind missing it then it isn't a big deal
Well apparently I'm being made to go in person next year so I guess that would make up for it ;)
Catching F1 live is a very recent development for me anyways.
It's nearly done...finally
I went to bed early a couple of nights ago to watch the sky at night and promptly fell asleep. Just watched it on the iplayer and it had some awesome stuff on Jupiter's moons.
What is?
I thought it was Spa you were bing made to go to
Episode 1 ;) it aint sidepodcast worth, but its done :D
So you have done 2 podcasts today. Very productive
One took 30 minutes, one took 5 hours....and the latter is only 8 minutes long....
You must talk very quickly then.
I guess that is how it goes sometimes
I really dont know how it's taken so long. But throughout hte day i got quicker and better and lots of stuff, and learnt lots too, so the next one shouldnt take half as long
To be fair they are very different, one is an informal chat and the other has to be factually correct
Right....

Thats the RSS, be nice, it's my first one. More to follow
How can that be? Is it because the first one is recorded live and the other edited?
It's because i had to write lots of one, and had to record it where i got lots wrong so had to keep doing it again and again. The sidepodradio one was on the fly
Subscribed. Will catch up when I catch up ;-)
(tonight I listened to a 3hr MWM from June... so I'm not quick..)
ahahaa :D

Again, it's not pretty, but it works. Improvements as and when
You need a Christine machine to read it out for you :D
Thats exactly what i need, i have SO much respect for them both now. It's so hard to read and not sound monosylabilic (my new word)
