News was very slow yesterday, which actually makes a nice, refreshing change as it doesn't seem to have stopped since well before the season actually started. With that being the case, here are some of the other things we're discussing at the moment:
- In case you've missed it, there's a Sidepodscience meetup happening next Wednesday at the Science Museum in London. Plenty of information available on the wiki, and this time next week we'll be recovering from ogling all the lovely F1 stuff in the museum.
- There are a couple of other great new pages on the wiki. Jackie created the Stages of a Sidepodaddiction page, and I see that people are starting to add which stage they feel they are at. If you haven't already, go and check it out and evaluate which point you're at on the list. Is there a stage 50? Cos I think that's me!
- A new episode of Sidepodcast Diaries is available to view. I've been a little bit sneaky and combined it with a plug for meandpage22.co.uk. If you haven't taken a picture yet, do it now!
That'll do it for now. Keep your eyes peeled for any news as it happens, although I'm not expecting any. F1 people are allowed holidays too, I suppose. I will see you in the comments.
Just as a heads up tonight, I'm gonna be at my dad's, so does anyone fancy coming on Skype tonight for a chat? :)
Here's a story to have a look at in the meantime. Sutil says the technical partnership with McLaren will start to come good in the next few races. Can't believe it only took them 4 months to build their car though.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74356
I hope it does. For some reason, I've grown to like Sutil. I think he's a great driver, being an F3 Euroseries champion and all. he just needs a good car to show it. You saw in Malaysia what he could do, he even put the car top in practice in the dry for a short while. Probably due to short fuel but nonetheless it's an achievement nonetheless. As I've already said, their qualifying pace isn't quite up to scratch, but it definately looks like their car is tonnes more reliable than last season's, which I'm sure is mainly down to the Mercedes engine. That thing is just solid.
Just seen BATRacer results, shouldn't Toyota really be higher up?
Me and page 22 are at Thorpe Park today! Look for a pic later!
Yay!
Cool, get on when your on a rollercoaster ;) Dunno if possible, but hey,
I'm 18th.... :(
Woodwiss! It's taken you about 12 years, but you finally have a wiki page. Hooray!
christine's video re: page22 is now featured on the homepage of circus f1:
http://circusf1.com/
no idea when f1r will make its way to spain, but we'll try and get andrea to drop a picture too :)
I have a Wiki page at last :)
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Scott+Woodwiss
i see new p22 contributions:
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/img00037-20090409-1020-jpg
that draft in the background is looking a little... sparse mind you ;)
Makes my own contribution (just put on drop.io) rather tame...
Ha! It's a Fetch window (for my daily morning task) and there is nothing to Fetch yet. It's the pic that will be in MBW...
We have new neighbours. Couple of nice young ladies.
Just helped them get a sofa into their flat - they're gamers. :D Wii, X360 and PS3 set up already. Dedication there.
Good looking as well? ;)
We should.
Grrrr...
does your publisher read this site per chance? ;)
at least you're redressing the p.22 mac vs. windows balance.
Go Torro Rosso! 9th and 15th, I think we'll settle for that! Can't believe I made it through to Q3?!
Sounds like my kind of neighbours!
McLaren have officially confirmed their attendance for the diffuser hearing at the Court of Appeal.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74358
The other half tells me I'm not allowed to comment on that...
The former promoter of the Canadian Grand Prix believes that Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley, Formula One Management chief and FIA President respectively, should now be relieved of their duties in the sport.
http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2009/04/09/time-s-up-for-bernie-and-max-says-canada-promotor/
No race in Montreal for a while then...
Have opened my wireless connection for them for the next couple of weeks while they get the interweb.net/org installed.
Will have to get their Wii code and challenge them to a few games. My X360 is a launch console and in it's box - no space for it out, with the Megadrive, SNES, N64 and the CD32
:D
Foot, let me introduce you to this gun. Gun, this is my foot.
It must be one of the few that still works then!
It's been faultless. Never crashed, never red-ringed. It's hardly ever on though. Too many other things to play with.
It gets worse too:
The teams could leave tomorrow morning - they could call it the 'Grand Prix World Championship'. If you have Ferrari, BMW, Williams, if you have Lewis Hamilton, that seems pretty much like the real thing," he added.
Bernie says McLaren could face race bans
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74360
Oh dear, this just keeps getting worse and worse for them.
:(
The promoter has the right idea though. Max is 69 and Bernie is 79...
They both can have free bus passes - which explains a lot about their ideas.
'when I were a lad...'
!!!
Your house must be wired up like a Christmas tree.
I downloaded C64 Boulder Dash for the Wii virtual console the other day, but have only had time to play it once.
BAR Honda received 2 races ban back in 2005 I would not be suprised if similar thing happens to McLaren ... WMSC will likely find them guilty and I doubt they will get away only with fine. Bernie's worlds sum it up:
For all the leSeb fans, f1weekly.com have an interview with him that was done at the Sebring 12hr.
http://www.grandprixweekly.com/2009/04/02/episode-336/
The interview is at the end of podcast.
If they do i will be outraged!!! Poor Heikki :(
rather worryingly, on the 7 stages wiki page, there are apparently two people more addicted to sidepodcast than i am.
Yes. :)
My console list is rather extensive - nowhere near complete though.
Atari 2600, PC Engine, Master System, NES, Mega Drive +Sega CD +32X, Commodore CDTV, SNES, N64, CD32, Playstation, Jaguar +CD unit, 3DO, Saturn, Xbox, Dreamcast, Xbox 360, Playstation 2, PSX *bought as it looked cool*, PS3, Wii
A few hand helds too.
Gameboy, Gameboy pocket, Gameboy Colour, Game Boy Advance, DS, Nomad, Game Gear, Lynx,
i'm not sure you'd want to do 7.5 :P
Good morning everyone :D it's quite exciting waking up to find out how BATracer has gone...
There are some liars people who are withholding information from the Sidepodstewards.
*cough* Steven *cough*
Whoops I messed me formatting up there. You get the idea though right.
is that because it doesn't go up to 11?
I just got home to find out the same thing. Turns out I didn't have much to look forward too...
19th...
it is until you see that your 17th :( boo
your second!! how did you do that!!!
Hi everyone
Mr C i've just submitted you a full review as promised last night, hope you got and enjoy/
It's looking real good for team Renault at the moment...
got it rcc. we should get it posted this evening. cheers ;)
Collectively.....we're not doing great....
Stage 5
Is that healthy? :-)
]
Spot on
Got my Renault World Series tickets ordered, any sidepodcast patrons going? page on wiki? meet up etc?
I ordered mine yesterday too :)
good man!!
And i can even go this year!!! Last year i ordered them but couldnt go when they came, but am excited about it!!!
It's fantastic! I couldn't believe how busy the place was and how much good on track action we saw.
It was burning sun last year and yup I forgot suncream..doh!
Awesome, my plan for the year is to go see a bit more motorsport, last year i had none, and the year before was lacking too, so this year i'm going to get back into it!! Got a day at Brands Hatch for BRSCC club racing in the diary too, very excited!!
Some people think British motorsport is nothing to shout about! Those people are very wrong ;)
Nice to see it happen in other motorsport series.
Audi's R15 is having it's legallity questioned.
I'm going to the Renault World Series too! :D Ordered my tickets yesterday.
Yeah i saw that, glad to see we're not the only ones to have that kind of thing :P
wooo...
Page 22 on a ride at Thorpe Park!
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/newimage-21-png
Time to compose a sidepodsong then :D
Hahaha!
That's brilliant!!
Have made a wiki page for other motorsport:
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Other+Motorsport+Events
Feel free to add where you're going and when. :)
!!!
Wiki page for an SPC World Series meetup :)
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/SPC+Meet+up+-+Renault+World+Series+%40+Silverstone
That was from Chris... That's a pretty high bar being set there!
Literally :)
Ah OK, I already made a wiki page for the event in the Help Us to Plan section. :P Didn't know you were going to make that one as well.
Not a problem. Yours is better. Will delete mine later :)
My Firefox seems to be a little confused....its scanged the sidepodlogo on my bookmark bar to the BBC logo....
*changed
Not sure I'm going to be able to make any motorsport events this year. :(
Going to be the first year that I havent for a long time if thats the case.
Wonder when the 24hour 2CV race is on at Snetterton - thats always good.
Like... actual 2CVs?
Race prepared 2CV's. :D
Yup
8/9 August
Tis very cool
Tickets are....a whole £10 :P
oooh and correct me if i'm wrong, but seeing as Britcar isn't doing its 24 hour race this year, its the only 24 hour race in Britian this year!!
They'd have to be :)
There is Le Mowns...
24 hour lawnmower race. :D
Page 22 checks out new McLaren design http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/page-22-scrutineers-new-mclaren-design-jpg
You have a tad too much time on your hands ;)
That is very cool though
:)
That is awesome!
*applauds*
brilliant jackie
Car was a present from Cuba .. made from old beer cans. The photo was from my phone camera, must dig out a proper camera to take some proper picturs later.
Anyone want to enter? :D
Just gone through the regs - looks like around £1000 to prep a 2CV
SidepodTeam2CV
Damn I'm tired *looks at awful spelling*
hehe :)
Plus £1000 for ARDS and Racewear.....plus entry fees, tyres, fuel, damage....have i burst your bubble yet :P
Do well! that's awesome!
I need another screen name, RCC is not really a proper name now is it! Is there regular poster on here called Mike? dare I use my real name lol
*goes onto Autotrader*
I don't think there is, but we don't mind what you call yourself. You can't get worse than "me" can you? ;)
Am I the first to admit to 7.5. Is Stage 8 making a website about a page of a magazine? (That might make Stage 8 a bit too exclusive)
Perhaps stage 8 should be buying a domain name to do with Sidepodcast.
A little exclusive me thinks :P
Actually perhaps Stage 8 should be meeting up with Sidepodcast. Although I have met half of Sidepodcast...
That will bump quite a few people up the list next week!
Having a beer with Sidepodcast?
Ahhh, i like
Yep I agree, the sheer thought that must of gone into that name boggles the mind.............
What happens about skipping stages or do we have to record a group song on Wednesday?
buying a beer for spc?
Surely the highest order is dreaming Sidepodcast?
ahaaha
aaha, i have done that before :P
having drinks chosen for you by spc?
Me too! I think it was after I hosted Panel 2
Getting SPC drunk?..........
I can't remember when/what mine was about....but it had Christine in, and i think 'me' was in it too, or what i thought he looks like lol, it was a strange dream
They can do that all by themselves :P
Hey guys. Currently stuck in a queue. Glad you like the photo. I'll try to take one with me in it, but it's hard when there's no mirror on your phone.
Ah I imortalised mine in the comments:
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2008/12/24/daily-24th-december-2008/#comment-166423
I would agree with you there i think.....also....you had this dream on Christmas Eve...there must be something in that....
Well, morning of Christmas Eve, not the night before Christmas.
Christine - email sent with phone number and other gubbins in. :)
That was the day we live commented Santa, so nothing really stood out as being that strange. ;)
Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. Roll on Christmas :)
All received and understood.
True :)
http://www.f1technical.net/news/12098?sid=1ecadaa5bdb69d0b51fe5650c9b70fbf
Bernie won't be happy!
Understood?
Wow... caffine must have kicked in early for me to be understood at this time of the day. :D
All you need for a breakaway series is Ferrari, BMW, Williams and Lewis Hamilton!
That makes a 7 car championship....hmmm
All you need is Ferrari to agree to it and you've got the series there. Everyone else will go across with them.
Thats why the initial breakaway threats failed - Ferrari sided with Bernie.
Well, I say sided - I mean, were bought by Bernie. ;)
This will be a tough one for the FIA now...Will they rule out the protest to get at McLaren again or in favour to help Ferrari ??
This is quite genius...
"Airwaves BMW’s Jonathan Adam has said having his first win taken away at Brands Hatch on Sunday left him feeling like Felipe Massa – but insists he has no hard feelings about the result.
Adam said the removal of his win – having initially tasted the victory champagne – left him feeling like Felipe Massa who briefly thought last year he had won the Formula 1 title only for it to swing Lewis Hamilton’s way in the dying seconds of the last race of the season."
Against it. Their hatred of McLaren is much worse than their love of Ferrari. ;)
Clive has made a very good point on how Mercedes could get McLaren out of trouble - http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=495
Can the title be changed to just stages of a Sidepod addiction .. since we are already plotting stage 8
Done.
First good thing thing McLaren have done in a while! Now the FIA has no choice but to let the diffuser through! ;)
Thank you :D
That presumes they're anti-diffusers, they could double-bluff the FIA and pretend they love the radical diffuser designs!
Would you rather that justice was seen to be sidestepped? Surely any team could use that "get out of jail clause" re sponsors. Personally if that were allowed to happen (fear of a major sponsor withdrawing) I think that would be a very unsatisfactory outcome to proceedings
Im not quite dreaming SPC, though I am dreaming F1.
For example, 2 weeks ago I dreamt I was inspecting the rear wings of the Toyotas....Man they were really flexible! :P
Anyone for Skype tonight?
ahaha, nice.
If your dreaming F1 then Sidepodreams are to follow shortly
I might do later
Off to Norwich for the weekend tonight.
Oh joy of joys...
I lolled.
Man I'm bored. Probably going to go up the gym in a bit and get back into it. Haven't been in a few days.
Lewis and Dave you plonkers.
So they were given their own evidence showing what had happened and they STILL lied about letting Trulli past...
Happens on the Jeremy Kyle Show every day...
Is it going to turn out that Lewis is Rons biological son?
As much as I dislike that show, having all this on there would be sensational.
You work from home, don't you? ;)
I would pay to see that show
A DNA test is the only way to be sure!
Busted.
Cue obscenities being flung between Ron and Anthony Hamilton and the bleeper machine going into overdrive
I wonder who added these three:

Eeeehehehehe.
hhahahahaha :D lol!
brilliant! Good to see animals can enjoy page 22 as well haha..
who says drugs aren't good for ya?
:D :D
Does this mean that we'll get lots more pictures of Ron during the race?
is this the first instance of an f1 driver reading p.22?
- he has the ridiculous looking hat...
- he has the drink...
- he dresses up in a gorilla suit...
a chocolate magnum would seal the deal methinks.
:)
You think he keeps goldfish?
assumed they were massa's.
Nothing wrong with the big man (clearly an invite for all on here to slate me!)
Now see here: I've just filed two more chapters of the book, so there.
Not quite in time to catch the beginning of Diagnosis Murder, though...
I never did understand why foreigners like Fosters so much. Ask 95% of people in Australia and they'll tell you that Fosters is the worst of Aussie beer.
Also, goodnight folks, I gotta be up at 4:30 tomorrow, it's 11:50pm now...
How do you know? Such episodes of the JKS are never complete without the surprise revelation that one of the participants has undergone gender reassignment...
:D
Neither do I; but on the other hand, Coopers and VB are in short supply over here.
I am a foreigner and I can confirm that I don't like Fosters if that helps!
night sean.
Goodnight, i'm sure you'll beat me in the actual BATracer race... :P
No JKS show is complete without him bellowing out the phrase
'You need to grow a spine and be a man'
Just the sort of shouting that gets the housewives reaching for the kleenex
Here's a choice for you:
Fosters or Budwieser? ;)
Bavarian Budweiser everytime!
Something completely off topic, and bound to end up in moderation the first time around:
I find it amazing how much the Mercedes V8 in the Brawn sounds like the Ferrari V10. This may sound like a strange thing to be amazed at, I admit, but for as far as I knew when V8's were first introduced they sounded massively different.
Obviously the V8 is a bit less high pitched, but still.
Brawn-Mercedes V8

Ferrari V10 (about 10 seconds in)

Just my random thought for the day :)
I shouldn't laugh, but... :D
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74372
Good job he's ok though. But thats one rally driver who won't be getting another go in a F1 car. ;)
I have a comment in the moderation queue. (although I guess I asked for it :-P)
Thats quite inspired, :D
surely the only thing bavarian about it is the name? but yeah i prefer it too ;)
I can imagine the Renault guys there getting on the phone to Red Bull..
"Can we borrow Sebastian Loeb please?"
Oh man I think I'm losing control over here. I was just sitting in deep work based concentration for the last twenty minutes. Trying to solve a horrible database problem when I was shocked out of my concentration by a sudden thought...
With Christine going away what will Mr C do for food?
Will he just have to eat cupcakes the whole time or has Christine arranged for somebody to look in on him?
I need to get out more (and live comment ;)
Yeah it's probably made in Slough etc :-)
I think though it's made in whatever the Czech Republic calls itself these days.
She had to help him make the cupcake.....takeaway it is then!
Ah I think you're thinking of Budvar Budweiser, thats Czech
You see, it's all very well being happy to have a break from me, but there is always a price to pay :)
Man can not live on code alone!
Bloomin awesome :D
This is way too fun
This is too much awseome :)
I may have quoted too many me and page 22 links. They were too good.
If Stuart's still around, can I ask what advice he could give me if I wanted to get into a career in motorsport journalism and how I could best go about it? :)
did you not like the suggestion of writing 5 blog posts a day?
:(
a man can live on takeway and unnamed energy drink though...
...
...apparently.
I fainted at that suggestion. ;)
bouncing, after falling foul of moderation:
isn't it!!
Would love to go actually, problem is that its early July and I'm going to two motorsport events in June. So its out of the window.
I never said I didn't. I just thought I'd get Stuart's advice alongside yours. The guy used to work for F1 Racing as we all know, so I'm sure he'd have some good advice.
But I understand what you mean by writing a lot of blog posts. Although in terms of news stories, apart from the obvious scandals, there's not that much around. :P
make some news up, thats what gmm do :P
do we think we can round up 5 f1 stories for scott today?
Thats too fun
Lewis Hamilton in shock move to NASCAR
World Champion Lewis Hamilton is set to move to NASCAR after falling out with McLaren. Due to the fact nobody else likes him, he decided to move to the USA to drive for some team in NASCAR, probably alongside other F1 drop-outs like Juan Pablo Montoya and Scott Speed
:D :D
Hamilton, Ryan refused to change story
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74368
Is this story of any significance!
Raikkonen throws tantrum as ice creams banned from Ferrari hospitality?
Interestingly I think 5 might be one of those things that's setting yourself up for a fall. Writing one post a day every day of the year is a) hard but b) truly achievable. I have done it (not on F1). One of the things that really does begin to happen is that you tend to find that on quiet days you will start to have to think about the kinds of stories which are less about news and more about commentary. And that's when you're off to the races.
Nigel Stephany to take over as team principle of Ferrari
Max Mosely to Resign at End of Season
Thats right, the supremo of motorsport is to resign after getting bored of supporting Ferrari. Rumours are having that supporting his new favourite team, Brawn GP, are not allowed in the FIA.
that's a good thing isn't it - thoughts, opinion, commentary?
Any odds that these headlines will be on GMM tomorrow?
i hope and pray :D
i think the chap might be wise to us. we should get a new domain and try it during a quiet week though.
Absolutely. Rather than just regergitating what the last guy said. The problem for Scott is that unless he's going to be actually visiting any tracks he's unlikely to be adding any news. So don't just repeat. Digest. Enhance. etc.
Secret to Brawn success is cupcakes says Ross
Its reviealed that a healthy supply of everyones favourite baked snack keeps the team fit, motivated, and does a good job of lubricating the engine.
mmm, true enough. so we he needs are 5 opinion posts per day? even better, that'll highlight his more creative skills and in theory should be more enjoyable.
I still think 5 might be a bit much. You can't keep that up I don't think.
Maybe start with 2 a day, then gradually build up to 3, 4 etc.
FIA Ban All Teams Except Ferrari From World Championship under Article 151c of the International Sporting Code after bringing the sport into Disripute
Oh wait, that could actually be tre
*true
The Doctor Buys Williams
Outragoues claims for a 0.1 second lap
i couldn't no. but i then don't have the talent to be an f1 journalist.
if you had to pick a number, of either words or posts, what would you suggest would highlight a future f1 writer's talents to prospective employees?
FIA Bans "Time and relative dimension in space" machines
Added my entry to the Sidepodaddiction Wiki. Added Stage 6.5 too. :D
Surely quality over quantity, but also quantity :D
Well more would be better... But as Jon says it also requires quality. If you can write 5 quality articles a day then you are astounding. But that's a hard stretch to start with.
Lewis Hamilton ditches dad as manager
Sources close to the world champion have revealed that Lewis is close to signing a deal with Willi Webber as his new manager. Willi Webber formerly managed seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher...
I would also add that I'm talking about something like this as an example of the kind of length of article...
http://www.sofaf1.com/2009/04/media-and-mclaren.html
...turns out his dad was ron dennis after all.
:D
So who was mum?
Defo quality!
Think how much more quality James Allen is over Jonathan Legard!! It's not what you say but how you say it!!
Now I imagine the knives are being sharpened for me now! I believe Legard must of really annoyed Mr C for him to say James Allen is better!!
i think they went to an ad break before we found out.
So.many.thoughts.so.little.time
I could never disagree with you or Mr C more.
Really obviously on the rollercoaster now!
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/newimage-26-png
Please tell me you don't think Legard is an improvement?!
You have to keep it on context though. It's not that he's better, it's that James Allen has more F1 knowledge.
Yes I do feel that.
It gets better and funnier.
The driver was a retired rally driver... But IS an FIA official! :D
FIA Vice President for Sport
D'OH!
yup, that seems about right.
here's the thing. i've watched christine write, and even though she doesn't do it for a living, i'm betting she could easily make five articles of that length per day. she could probably do that at the same time as keeping down a job, let alone if she had nothing to do all day.
this is going to sound harsh, but in the time we've been doing sidepodcast, scott has already started and given up on x2 f1 blogs. if he were honestly serious about writing for a living, he'd be out there doing something about it right now, instead of fannying around in the comments talking about doing something... one day.
5 articles, 4 articles, 3 articles. the number doesn't really matter.
Oh dear
Ah well I suppose we all like different things.
I understand James Allen's voice is enough for some people to turn off. For me it's Legards terrible lack of knowledge.
Bring in David Croft and think everyone would be happy........
you can tell rcc spends time over at planetf1 can't ya?
Agreed. Nobody is going to come up with the answer which is: "here's a ticket for going around the world watching all of the grand prixs with accommodation thrown in. Write some articles or something through the year but don't worry too much. This will get you started".
I think Legard does know what he is talking about, he is just two races in and is fairly rusty around the edges. A bit bland, but I prefer that to shouting every time someone goes off, or Button wins
His timing is much better as well. None of this: And he.......
...
...
WINS!
it wasn't his voice. it was his primarily his condescending tone, slow reactions to changing conditions, an inability to contain several thoughts in his head at the same time and difficulty in reading a race while maintaining a conversation.
i would be, yes.
I was just doing that one too!
If we want to keep Crofty at 5live, but need a good lead commentator with F1 knowledge, Ben Edwards?
I dont think any commentator really stands out for me. I think Croft is the best of a decent bunch, I think people will be saying what your saying about Legard, he might be too 'radio' like
one must wonder why they picked legard over croft, when croft has been very good at it and has more recent experience.
but would legard accept a 'demotion' back to radio?
but if you guys watch him with the red button, and he seems fine, then he must already be TV-ready, right? doing FP work must help too.
Huh?
I don't think the BBC will, if they listen to people that think legard isn't good enough then change him for Croft at the end of the season, and then Croft isn't good enough, they don't wanna be changing commentators every year.
Never seen the red button, so cant comment on how he'll fit in with the tv
This is my point - lead commentators cannot be bland. They need to have genuine enthusiasm and excitement in their commentaty.
he did good when he covered gp2 on the tv though.
from what i said on the podcast you found the headline:
"I believe Legard must of really annoyed Mr C for him to say James Allen is better!!"
completely lost context from the conversation, planetf1-esque.
Never heard him on gp2, I've heard contrasting opinions on that though from over people. From what other people have said, he was either good or not good.
Christine - may have a new phone for next week so battery life may be in the days again. :D
Number won't change.
Just had confirmation of a development phone being shipped to us so that'll come here to get set up then off to be tested. I'll ensure it's stable for a few days first. ;)
like we said in the last two shows though. we miss TED!
There was loads of Ted in Malaysia.
awww. Ted did do some of the FPs in Sepang. :)
very true. and then five live went to football.
Excellent!
I am just going to say one word on Legard's side for now...
Those were two seriously complex races he was commentating on.
James, in my my humble opinion, would still have been explaining the weights of the cars that had been released the night before about half an hour after the race was rained off.
Legard's knowledge will come... That's what Martin's there for anyway...
Before you had two commentators who wanted to be the knowledgeable one and often they would forget to talk about what was happening in the race. I think that might be why they chose Legard. To balance out Martin.
On Sunday? But the race WAS red-flagged. twas funny, though - we heard Ant talking to London on the mobile after they went off the air. He was still on-air in the Kangaroo. :D
Their chemistry is still way off, though. The balance as of now is more worse than better.
I'm not defending them for that!
That's more than one word!!
Ah yes... Whoops!
Now Ted could be an undiscovered gem in the commentary box, leave old Lee McKenzie to earn her dollar doing the pit lane reporting (Why she's needed when Holly Samos is there is another arguement) and give Ted a go, I really like his reports and he's very clear and concise in his delivery.
I'm with you, now granted I didn't include the rest of the conversation but in the podcast you do say James Allen is better then Legard at the moment. What I didn't add on is that you still think Allen is lame and wouldn't want him back anyway!
Mr C. as a random thought can't you use drop.io to deal with your bandwith problem? It seems they do some iTunes thingamagig over there.
Which is quite important, wouldn't you say?
This really is an obsession now ;)
How long before Giggles live comments his next job interview, employee review, pay award assessment [delete as applicable :D]
Amusing , none the less - carry on please!
nope. sadly not. they're not interested in letting us access the original files. only the files the re-encode on upload. thought about it, but it won't work annoyingly.
Another bad idea in terms of embaressing myself for the Sidepodcause...
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/meandpage22-wmv
A video with me and Page 22.
To be fair it wasn't me on the roller-coaster...
That's the same trap we fell in with James Allen - excellent guy in the pits, but is he up to scratch in the booth?
Blimey – I spend a solid hour on a new chapter of MBW and everything kicks off!
There's no definitive answer to that question and a reasonably comprehensive one would probably fill a blog post all by itself. Any takers?
Is that because you hadn't though about it or the likelihood of spilling your pint of the elderflower special? ;)
yes. which is just what planet f1 do!
my point is, what you just did is exactly what i'd expect to find on any number of f1 forums on the net. and that's why we avoid them all like the plague.
That's the problem!
I can't hear it yet, but I just wanted to say that I love it's the complete opposite of what Mr C was saying about LG and the chins.
Of course!
I needed to make absolutely sure no hands appeared at the bottom of the shot!
Yes please!
Most excellent! :)
Is page22 related to Sooty?
You sir, are a bloomin genius. Pretty funny too ;)
"I don't know where this is going..."
haha! :D
Alright well to be fair i thought the majority of the people on here would've listened to the podcast and understood the context of the conversation.
Give me 15-20mins...
I'm afraid they did!
good call :)
Yeah... I realise that now!
"Yes there was a gorilla for some reason"
:D
Glad you liked it!
I know personally you can't stand James! which is why I was saying even yourself placed Allen above Legard on some merits which must say something about how bad Legard has been doing. It was in no way an Mr C endorsement of James Allen.
I maybe stupid, but not that stupid..............
hehehe. i need that on a business card.
:D
Get a T-shirt made on your trip to the Science Museum
Oh on a seperate note make sure you proof read the article I sent you earlier, I was always better at maths then english grammar!
i know just the lady!
On a slightly different note....does anyone else think Rob Collard (of BTCC fame) needs his eyes testing? He pushed Steven Jelley off the track and then complained when he slid back onto the track into him, silly man!
the enormity of what I could be letting myself in FOR slightly unnerved me
I missed the word out, please be a gent and put it back in!
So, given up on my blog, have I?
http://zerodownforce.blogspot.com/2009/04/prancing-horse-is-falling-at-first.html
Have a read of that then and tell me what you think.
I think that gets stage 8? :D
I think Giggles needs a special category for SidePodAddiction ;)
Took a bit longer than 20 mins but it's on drop.io...
Stage Giggles :D
Abuse of the preposition 'with' in your first sentence would earn you a Bish-bashing!
Edited. Better? :P
On the attention to detail front I did have somebody apply for a job at my place with the following listed on their CV:
"Skills: Profreading"
So bad you wonder if they were making a joke!
Stepney in sex change shocka!
Good-oh. Poor tortured 'with' has suffered unspeakably at the hands of lazy TV and radio news writers, and the misusage has percolated from there.
Ha!
Right, the clang of wine bottles downstairs signifies that it's time to go. Goodnight!
It’s still a long opening sentence:
How about:
G'night Stuart
Night Stuart! Thanks for the post!
Goodnight! Thanks for the drop.io'd file, really interesting read
Pithiness is sometimes a very good thing, especially to those that dip in and out of blogs during the occaisional free moment during the day
Of course, there's always a time and a place for a verbose rant or so
Have just watched the page 22 video. Alex... do you need a holiday too?
:)
I think I may do!
I still haven't really recovered from my cold from last week. It's just been dragging on for ages! Cuh!
But will page22 be going too... that is the question?
Page 22 is coming on my holiday.
Make sure you don't give page 22 your germs!
Hey all, I'm back with a new mouse. Woo.
Seeing as my F1 laptime idea didn't go well, here's another but for afew.
I know a few here have Grid on 360, so I was thinking we could do a laptime contest with that, with different cars, tracks etc. Me. Scott, Luke and Chris Evans are the ones I know with it, so let me know what you think.
:)
I will have to be careful!
w00t! the girl is on it. thanks you.
go you!
I was just thinking work is finished maybe I should think of something for me and page 22 to do but where had page 22 gone? I couldn't see him anywhere...
And then I found him...
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/photo-2
I think it might be too late... He's retired to bed already!
Sounds interesting.
I think its a bit late for a holiday...the men in white coats are coming....
:)
Oooh a padded room you say! That sounds interesting ;)
Is it bad that i'd like a padded room? It would be alot of fun
I got that Tommy Byrne book by Mark Hughes a few days ago. Very good, would recommend it to anyone looking for a motorsport book. One of F1's greatest What If's indeed. He's incredibly arrogant, but with his achievements, it's justified. Some great stories in there.
You DID give him your germs.
Just to be clear... That's Vicks not Vaseline!
I feel terrible about it. I'll make him a Lemsip in a bit ;)
Yeah yeah, thats what they all day ;)
Soggy page22, trying to give him that "live at Malaysia" feeling to cheer him up?
*say
:)
Who's going to be the first to take Page 22 to a grand prix?
Or first to take page 22 to a bath?
Page 22, now famous, attends his own photo shoot
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/photo-3
Don't worry he was safe!
Nicely done!
However my arm did get wet!
To all music fans out there.....if you want some good and varied music...the Doctor Who Series 4 Albumn is well worth a listen, some really amazing stuff
James Allen worries that the McLaren hearing is only 3 races before the British Grand prix:
http://allenonf1.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/might-a-possible-mclaren-ban-include-silverstone/
Showing even he'll take a sensationalist headline from time to time!
I have that and the Season 1 or 2 soundtrack CD :D
Murray Gold is fantastic, he really does add to the epsiodes with the music he composes.
As is the latest Doves album, by the way
I tried to leave a mag open on page 22 on the shelf in sainsburys today and take a photo but there were too many staff milling around. I would have gone for it anyway but I was hungry and didn't want to get thrown out without buying any lunch.
Ah was just reading that and wondered whats the difference between the International Court of Appeal and the WMSC in terms of the punishments they can impose?
Court of Appeal are generally punishments that fit whatevers being raised....
WMSC are a law unto themselves...
We will have to start a wiki page where we can put our lap times. We could choose a track every week / 2 weeks or something.
Well... that's an interesting question... Of course one expects that you have appealed a judgement against you and the second is a new punishment which you may have already been penalised for.
How long before this spreads to page22 of other magazines in the rest of of the non-sidepod world? 'tis only a matter of time :D
Never be as good as the original :D
That picture is way too big, as unflattering as it is!
Bah I wish I could get my 360 controller working with rfactor properly :/
Got everything set up for 2009 season but the game absolutely hates the controller, you literaly cant go 200 yards without spinning..
*ahem*
ahahahahahahaha
Mine works fine? Have you adjusted the dead zones? I found that on default settings the steering wiggled left to right the whole time the analogue stick was in neutral.
I've been messing abut with the sensitivity and dead zone rates for ages now and it's just not happening :(
May I ask what your dead zone and whatnot settings are set to with a screenshot or something similar? Just so I can get a general idea what to adjust it to
I'll take a look for you, will just have to restart my Mac in Windows. Also, if it is the F1RL mod you have, the 1.3 update has just been released which I think fixes some handling issues.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. And yeah I've just got the update for F1RL now :)
My favourite nonsense story of the day:
"Pop group Pet Shop Boys have revealed they have turned down a request by animal rights group Peta to rename themselves the Rescue Shelter Boys"
BBC News
:D
the renault crash caught on camera:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etWeu9_N9bg
(sort of)
RIght, couldn't get screenshots to work for some reason, but this is what I adjusted:
Digital steering rate 15%
X axis sensitivity 6%
RX axis sensitivity 8%
Z axis sensitivity 85%
X axis deadzone 10%
RX axis deadzone 5%
Am really enjoying Joe Sawards considered approach to F1 blogging
On Ron & Max: http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2009/04/08/oh-no/#comments
I'm sure they aren't perfect though, they are just as good as I could get them when I got bored of tinkering!
Cheers, It definitely an improvement but i'm still getting random spins so I'll keep working at it. Very annoying stuff :(
Appreciate you getting these though, will keep trying until I get there
I had the same issue with the 2008 mod, that was impossible to keep in a straight line.
The dark art of getting served at the bar
No.5 is quite clever!
christine's mother-in-law (hearts) p.22 too:
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/christines-mother-in-law-jpg
Well I've just installed the new version myself, and it has made controlling the cars a lot harder!? I see your problem now. At least you know it's the mod and not the pad.
Brilliant. Just awesome.
Just been out to watch a charity football match involving my manager, sadly didn't win the 'How Many Shots Will He Have' competition, thinking that after 2, they'd realise he aint very good outfield
What? I could not hear the radio over the engine noise
You caught page 22's lurgy?
I almost had a team together a few years ago but no chance this year.
I think it's too late this year.
*plans 2010 race team*
Has anybody ever seen any racing around the Porto street circuit? I'm currently trying to thread a DB9 around there on RacePro and it's damn near impossible!
seriously do it, i can help with planning if you want, i've spent many months planning various differnet race series budgets etc, one of them being 2CV's :D
sidepodracing? Or maybe sidepodcast GP?
Its the RSPCR F1 Team I think.
I know its not exactly Formula 1, but Flavio Briatore has sacked another manager at QPR.
I'm amazed how he doesn't have 10 different drivers a season for Renault.
Will have to have a word with the other half - and the chap whose garage space I will be using to set the build the car up.
I've got the race suits, will need the license and also a full physical. :(
Hmmm. ;)
Was thinking Team Sidepod2CV - Can't really use F1 in the name :D
Or you could hire it?
Better start packing, I suppose. Can't quite tear myself away from Sidepodcast.
Welcome to our world ;)
He doesn't need the money, or the space at the moment. Currently have one restoration project underway there - has been for 4(?) years now...
He'd probably be interested in driving as well. :D Bit of a step down from his daily driver.. Citroen 2CV from Aston Martin....
But your not going until Friday.
Oh yeah, its Thursday. This week is going quick, I'm thinking its only Tuesday.
No i meant hire the car haha
Already packed - just having my sausage, mash, steamed veg and onion gravy. :D
Hehe. Know that feeling :)
As the co-creator of SPC i think it's her world aswell ;)
No point. It would go back in no condition to be used again. ;)
:D
I think it was my world first!! :)
On a scale of 1 to incredibly, just how excited were you when Sidepodcast had its first comment?
Welcome to your world doesn't have the same impact :)
Well now, you're asking me to remember a long time ago... but I'd say... pretty darn excited.
Hehe.
Anyone know if there's a video floating around if when BrawnGp were officially announced or anything?
Don't know if video was in the budget back then :D
Am guessing Honda wouldn't want to publicise the video if it existed, and Brawn had other things to worry about than the recording of the moment.
Yeah most likely. No worries though, havefound a perfectly good clip for what I'm working on :)
JACKIE STEWART - The Flying Scot (This weekend)
BBC 4 / 7.00pm / April 11
JIM CLARK - The Quiet Champion
BBC 4 / 7.00pm / April 18
GRAHAM HILL - Driven
BBC 4 / 7.00pm / April 25
These are a must see :)
Oooh. Thats new. :D
Check out the trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMKyXSfeKmM&feature=channel_page
Will definitely be watching these, the Graham Hill one that lou showed me a few months back was absolutely remarkable, I absolutely loved it. Although I'll be iPlayer'ing the Jackie one due to a certain Dr on BBC1 ;)
so many jokes, so little time
It's got to be Dr Hilary Jones - no other famous doctors.
Stop posting in the rong place ;)
But not even Dr Cox aint famous
Where on earth did that come from? Awful man he is anyway - keeps opening his mouth and exhibiting his ignorance!
Here is a very vivid description of Latvala's accident in the WRC at Portugal, fortunately by Latvala itself
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74369
Racing drivers know, at the bottom, that they can die in the car. But there must be a big distance between thinking you may die, and actually feeling you're going to die (and worse, with a lot of time to focus on that feeling). No wonder why drivers surviving such horrific crashes get changed forever...
It was an awful accident. Very luck man is Latvala, loads of rolls.
Woah :O
And I think 1 roll is bad.
Look at the roll cage, it's done an amazing job!
Just, wow!
wow....
Note for Scott
Remember the tips from Stuart. On your wiki page you say you were originally born in Peterborough. How many times have you been born since the original?
Second note to Scott. I noticed the other day on the wiki map your pin was in Burkino Faso. Are you planning a move.
A lot of people say 'I was reborn' after the most varied situations :-)
Yay my Brawn/Honda video be done!
Will upload soon...
I haven't caught up with the Daily comments yet but can I just say:
Alex's Page22 vid was utter brilliance.
the last big pic before christine goes away: http://www.f1bigpicture.com/
no more f1 minute for four days. that'll save me exactly 240 seconds this weekend :P
awesome pic
and what are you going to spend those seconds doing?
very nice :)
I'm now on my way out to Norwich
See you guys later, maybe not today, maybe not tommorow... But soon...
Maths?
Bye Flibster
And for the Big Pic, Christine knows how to keep me happy :)
Because you have wasted 60 seconds of today, have you? Huh?
catching up with monday's, tuesday's, wednesday's and today's :D
ooooooooh. Maybe Mr C is getting out on the system now so Mrs C will have forgotten it by Tuesday.
Was it from Ollie?
I think it probably was. Let me investigate.
Ollie is just so old skool! It's incredible!
Looks like the first comment (not including Mr C) was from Neil:
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2007/01/07/episode-1-season-review-2006-part-1/#comment-5
The next one was Ollie:
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2007/01/14/episode-2-season-review-2006-part-2/#comment-8
However, Mr White was commenting back in the days of DailyF1Blog, so he really was there first.
Oh, and I used to call myself chris back then as well... short name, no capital letters. Who does that remind you of? :)
I suspect a conspiracy.
Mr C = Chris
Mrs C = Christine
Nope. he was 'me' even back then.
rcc's guest post now published:
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/09/living-the-dream/
much goodness.
Alright then
Mr C = Chris
Mrs C = me
Complex I know
Why did you call yourself 'Chris' back then anyway? :)
Because I used to want to be called Chris?
Evening all, great article on writing
I think i babble on when i write
I'm most intregiued about this petty argument :P
Really? I've always thought Christine is much nicer than Chris. :D
I do too. Now.
your post is great sir!
should I change my name then? ;)
nope! i've always preferred christine.
although one member of her close family still calls her chrissie, which is an even bigger no in my book.
I have a strange weird thing going on in that a) Katherine has just seen the video and is laughing her head off at me and b) Katherine is called Kat by almost everyone except me (me me not me him). And yeah... More and more these days people are starting to call her Katherine somehow...
And mine.
:D It's the type of name only your family would call you by. :)
Christine, was Chris originally your online handle only? Or was that what people really called you?
I used to want to be called Chris. So... people that liked me would do as I asked and call me Chris, and stubborn people (eh-hem Mr C) would not. In the end, I came round to his way of thinking, and probably because I grew up a bit. Now I like Christine.
Mr C. Stubborn? Never.
With Christine away, will she be leaving one of these for me?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiZAOVatFz4
Nice! Christine's a much more feminine name too - fits you more, I think.
:D Ha!
what are you saying?
Most of my family still insist on calling me Andrew. Grrrrrr.
I'm listening to Episode 2...you can really hear how you've got more confident.
I don't think your stubborn
you're related to david tremayne?
I think they are saying that you are:
Stubborn
and they are laughing at you
;)
Ah, yes, Sidepodcast history! I love it when people go down memory lane. Lots of great moments in Sidepodcast history. :)
no, no, no, no, nooo. note the archives!
no
I get called Jonny by a certain member of my family which after many years of being called Jonny Bravo at primary school...i dont enjoy
yes, yes, yes, yes, yeees! :D
he didn't grrrr at the beginning so it's only a half tremayne ;)
No.
harsh, but fair.
Note the archives? Okay.
Noooo!! Don't do that.
i thought it was Christine that didn't like the archives?
aahhh, you Mr C! are alot different...you make random remarks, tis tres funny :)
All of my family call me Al rather than Alex.
gah!
Call me Al?
Listen to Episode 2 and you'll see why Mr C may also not like them :P
yeah, but she hasn't left yet. we can do archives tomorrow!
What's wrong with the archives?
and that!
Don't do it!!
If I can call you Betty ;)
Compared to Episode 1? :)
By the way, loved Diary number 18.
Yaaay, it's done. Presenting Brawn - Simply Glorious
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/hondabrawn-wmv
Enjoy :)
Does last Friday count?
don't tell me you actually know... that... song... wft??
Danger Danger!
Oh, no, carry on then.
jon, if you don't have time to listen to all the shows, may i recommend you listen to Episode 60. One of my personal favorites. :)
Ha your too kind
I listened back over a few podcasts during the off season and I think the espionage show episode was the best
Some people call me Ry, whenever someone does that, I absolutly hate it.
And wft stands for?
That is quite amazing!
:)
Good. Saward kicks the rear of a donkey.
I find 51 is the best title
hehe :) i like your plan. i'd kinda forgot Christine was off on holiday tomorrow, possibly because i keep thinking it's monday...
I'm there!
He's talking like Yoda again, obviously.
I'm Pat socially and Patrick at work. And when Mum doesn't like something. Helps me mentally compartmentalise.
Talking like Yoda in txt speak is very impressive.
I keep thinking it's Wednesday and the meetup next week is on Tuesday.
Mr C - a solution to our bandwidth problems?? Take the archives DOWN.
OK, texting like Yoda.
:D
Presumably then she might full name you with a middle name. That's where not having a middle name (like me) is an advantage!
Noooo!
go for it ;) i have them all on my ipod anyway :D
:)
Don't do it capin'
That might not be a bad idea, especially with episode 2 being so popular right now.
I think i still have some old ones stored in my computer
lou has them all, it's too late.
aaahhhh, the wedding episode :D oooh and Mr FIA man that i'm not going to talk about
Then let's reupload it onto drop.io. That'll show 'em. :D
Not for a while :-)
My sister does it if I'm not paying attention. Or she did when she was 12. She's 26 now and I feel old.
:D
yup. this was because the week they vanished saw tons of people leave tons of comments (well, relative to previous comments). one of the key events that formed the sidepodcommunity. :)
My podcast subscription goes back to F1 People (Part 1) which was in the week before Epidsode 42.
Have you people never heard of delete??
two events seemed to galvanise the community. once where we went away for a week and once where we went to silverstone for three days.
someone's trying to tell us something.
wish i could keep my own copy of all the podcasts - but i have too little HD space. Oh well - at least someone does it. :D
In this age of Gmail and 320GB external HDs? Never! :P
British GP live commenting was brilliant!
Sadly yes, when your pods covered about 2 gig of memory space
agreed.
:D
Wasnt that the day we don't mension? or am i thinking about another day?
There was a great comment by famous Twitterer Merlin Mann the other week. He has worked out that because he's quasi famous he gets people following him at a certain rate. But he's annoying enough, he thinks that he gains twitter followers only when he doesn't tweet. When he tweets the followers decrease. He's more annoying than he is popular - he thinks. I like him though. He is Hotdogsladies.
i think kathi made a torrent of them all, but i'm not sure what happened to it? either way we can't remove 'em even if we wanted too.
delwhatnow?
umm, what day can't we mention?
Formula1.com Malaysia vid is up!
I have. I usually delete things I've listened to due to a lack of disk space.
That also reminds me I have to order a new memory stick as mine died earlier and deleted everything. :s
#
March 30th, 2008.
it's your own fault really ;) if they weren't so good and i didn't like them so much i would have deleted them ;)
what happened?
Seriously it's better that we don't delete because if we ever want to go back then we don't have to go for the download!
:)
KEEP EM!
nah i was wrong
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/The+Weekend+When+It+All+Went+Wrong
thats what i was talking about
ahhh, yeah. never mention that again... or link to it :)
I am packing, honest:
http://drop.io/meandpage22/asset/1239316323066
:D
Just listening to Episode 2 now. You have got better. Also, it must be so nice not to have to talk about a certain ex-Ferrari driver - the one with the useless brother.
I've just noticed you published my article!
Thanks a million!
I think people think the onboard lap is me
March 30th was the "we're just reporting the fact that somebody is reporting something"
Prime directive number one in the unmentionables stake!
I can't mention it!
The local Co-Op didn't have F1 Racing today. Will check Morrisons or wherever I end up easter egg buying
aww you're taking page 22 with you :D
you're taking my honda bag?
:)
Ralfs brother? :D
Stop it now!!
LMAO at the radio stuff on there! Who was it that swears?!
Also, Felipe baby extended!!
oooooooooh. say no more.
Yup.
"That is so obviously an April Fools joke" I said...
Do you think that if me gets any more pictures published in F1 Racing that he can insist on them appearing on Page 22? Otherwise Alex will have to buy another domain name.
That's what everyone thought of Gmail. ;)
eventually he'll just put "me and f1 magazines" :P
FOM are using our jingles!!!
Right! I'm off to bed!
Christine hope the packing continues to go well :)
Me, hope you can feed yourself!
Goodnight all!
Stop listening? Or stop talking about Michael?
Tednews?
night alex.
Gmail is different! I watched that video because I thought it was an April Fools!
Night Alex. And btw, nobody better do another guest post again
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Guest+Posts
Though if you do, please add it
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2008/12/31/inside-track-2008-season-review/
17 seconds in!!
No listening to old stuff.
actually, christine just pointed it's the futureheads, who must be podsafe. thought it was an apple jingle.
carry on.
I'd just like to say... It's a funny old world when my girlfriend and my work colleague are talking to my Formula 1 friends on twitter. Everything is colliding. I just hope they don't start playing my meandpage22 videos in the office!
:D
That's a song?
Hadron colliding?
Is that just Sidepodcast stuff, cos I have a lot of old radio shows......
I was allowed to listen to old stuff back in '07...
i'll tweet fourstar.
Hmm, maybe just no Sidepodcast stuff. I'll consider the rest.
Looked like Buemi...
FTW!
Hmm, same day as Goodwood. Decisions...
Wait a cotton pickin minut...."the wedding podcast" as it shall now be known....was on the 21st (i think) of April, making it your anniversary rather soon!
Woo @ my powers of deduction :)
OK. Whatever you say. :)
It wasn't old then, though.
Uh oh!
Interesting that Jenson nearly lost it trying to get back in front at the first corner. Watch his car sliding sideways from the aerial shot.
Good plan. I added myself for BTCC @ Thruxton.(I'm doing a Stephen Roy to bump up my post count)
Not exactly...
Did anyone actually mention it last March 30? ;)
Yup, that's how he lost his P2 to Trulli at the start.
:D
I have to say I may be carrying a little Christmas weight but to compare me to a 16 mile long machine seems a bit much ;)
:P
not april 21st, no.
No Kimi eating ice cream on the video? Shame on FOM!
At least they included the hillsliding guys... :D
Good videos so far this year - an improvement over last year, which was actually very good already. :)
yep - twas earlier than that. already done, actually... :)
Luckily fourstar already knows I'm insane so I think it should be okay. Also he really digs sidepodcast. After two live race comments he listened to the live debrief broadcast. You guys really are doing great at bringing people in to the community.
erm, happy late anniversary guys
really enjoyed that one.
nope. not happened yet.
wha... what??
okay, happy early anniversary
wait, Mrs C isn't going on holiday in the middle of it is she?
i want to say it's around the 15 or 16th of april... cause i remember it's around the same day as my friends birthday....
darn it... and there's no exact answer - it was on a ship! :O
it's not happened yet :)
we all make a great team.
if its the 19th then thats would be scary, same as my gf and me's anniversary too. ???
nope.
Are you suggesting it was lost at sea?
lou, you have an excellent memory. now pick one :)
you got married on my birthday??
im going 15th
what day is that?
erm well it's a 50/50 chance... so erm the 16th? (same day as my friends birthday)...
the 16th
not the 16th, no.
aha, i was right. thats cool :)
so the 15th..
good pick, jon!
:D
Ah, that would have been a good day to celebrate at least
You really are going for the not buying a drink all day, aren't you?
go jon!
International man of mystery ;)
He'll probably say no and confuse us all again!
boo ya :D
If it were me I'd say the 15th regardless, and have everyone buy me drinks
it's the 15th and we're celebrating with you guys ;)
i feel really slow... but i've finally realised that the 15th is this wednesday.
Will this end up on the wiki as 'Worst Anniversary Ever'
:)
hurrah! :D
Ha!
best.
Excellent :-)
:D
hmmm
w00t!
All they wanted was a freaking sidepodsciencemeetup and what did we get them? Socks again. Oh no it is the meetup :)
pure coincidence really. i blame gavin.
:D
dont worry, you saying that has just made me realise. aha
Now I really AM jealous. :P
No it's spelt S-T-E-V-E-N ;)
:D :D
Trust me, I almost forgot my dads birthday cos i thought it was today instead of yesterday.
Gavin clearly must have booked his week in the UK to cover the date, and then said oh I can only do the 14th or 15th. Really he could do any day.
Thankfully my parents deliberately gave me a name that was hard to shorten. Although I did have one friend at college who managed it (he called *everyone* by their first initial, so we were all similarly mistreated, rofl).
On the other hand - The children are all known by short names that are versions of much much longer ones.... well how else are they supposed to know that they are in trouble?
I really am off now! Night!
promise? night alex.
:D
hehe!
I'll see you in the reply for this
night :)
Night Alex!
Night Alex. :)
(catching up)I can't contain several thoughts in my head either, and Legard is better than Allen at commentary. Croft was not good on GP2 but I guess that wasn't his area.
Night Alex
G'night Alex. :)
weeks 1-3 weren't good. by the end of the season i thought he nailed it though.
Bye Alex.
will we something similar with legard? do we wait until spain before we can assess? :)
I'll give Legard till race 4 to improve then :P
Its way to early to judge anyone imo
agreed. although i think he's here for the duration.
I'll try putting my Brawn video on Youtube, I dont think it'll last long on it though...
really pleased with how it came out :D
twas really good :D
dosent mean we cant get annoyed at him :D
ooh, i forgot to look. 2mins...
thats really good mate :)
seconded. that was ace :)
cheers :D
considering it was done in 3 hours of converting from youtube, with movie maker refusing to comply with certain things and whatnot im very pleased :)
Ah yes, the joys of movie maker
I think that theres a Leonardo DV display somewhere in the science museum... it being his birthday and all.
Although the 15th is also recorded as the day that the Wordsworth siblings took a walk near Ullswater, and saw a lot of pretty yellow flowers....
good day all round then :D
did you see the message right at the end Mr C? :)
Awesome stuff lukeh, pity I have no sound, but the end was awesome
how did you manage that in movie maker?
certainly did. and the flash at the beginning, cheers luke.
I've used it for years and working at iceland have provided me with the opportunity to work with patience ;)
Can’t believe it only took them 4 months to build their car though. {Commnet #2}
It even surprised Force India - originally they hadn't expected to do any pre-season testing whatsoever...
