My parents' friends have a son who is special. We never mention it.

Special in what way?

I'm guessing he means 'special needs'.

Nope. Carlos' parents friends' son.

Though of course HWNSNBM has special needs, nothing can handle how awesome he is.

I don't know anything about Carlos, his life and/or his friends, so I'll stick with our beloved leader, Santa Claus. How does he manage to make his stags go so fast? Do they use double diffusers?

If he does, it would explain Christmas's lack of overtaking.

What lack of overtaking? My school bus driver was powersliding** through snow drifts to pass ailing cars. The rear end took a breif detour through a hedge, but hey, I'm here aren't I?*

*This is why touring cars are better than F1 - they bash into each other constantly and still finish the damn race.
**No kidding, he was actually powersliding a 40ft service bus round corners...he's bathplugging nuts.

I'm glad I mentioned the boy with the mental handicap. It created a nice amount of slight misunderstandings and ended up with mention of a power sliding bus. Butterfly effect.

You'll make me feel ever so slightly stupid and embarrassed. And I will shut up, go away, and hope you don't think badly of me for too long.

thanks brother for sharing a knowledge about those great songs some of those i had never heard but thanks to you for given the list of such a great song i enjoyed it the most as my favorites are of SNOW PATROL i loved them the most i had ever heard some time i think that why we all used to call such a great anthems as a song that like we are insulting the great passion of the singer and the best sports please think for that and let the change happen
after all nothing is ordinary about that great sport so how can be songs for the game are be just a song as they contains the passion for speed with in themselves
thanks and good luck

There's this wonderful new invention called a 'full stop', maybe you should look in to using it some time.

Debaser · Post by **Debaser** » 08 Jan 2010, 13:16

Not sure what's more embarassing, the love for Snow Patrol or the terrible punctuation.

Debaser · Post by **Debaser** » 08 Jan 2010, 13:25

On another note Carlos and Phoenix I'm not at all offended by you mentioning special needs, I went to a special needs school till the age of 8 because of speech difficulties and I found it pretty funny how we got from special needs to a power sliding bus. On a thread about songs in F1.

Neither was I. I just found it funny that Phoenix got so confused.

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy - will you let me be yours?
Gloria

Thanks shinji. It isn't my invention though - it appears in English grammer and punctuation books (like Lynne Truss's "Eats, Shoots and Leaves") and this I copied and pasted from an email. And I've just realised that there were other posts between the post I quoted and my post.... Ooooppppps.

So did I and now I look after special needs kids for a living. Not well-paid but I enjoy it. And I found nothing offensive in this thread.

I just thought Carlos's boy was special in the meaning it was very intelligent, or very dumb, or things like that.

I find it hilarious the powersliding bus post is directly connected to special needs anyway.

Maybe just before the word "thanks" and not bother with the rest?

Chasing Cars was used in the first F1 montage on the BBC's new coverage for 2009, a wide array of the machinery used from the past 60 years, with David Coulthard reading his first TV lines.

Chasing Cars was also used for the farewell montage of V8 Supercars on Network Ten, rather poignant, having started watching the V8s in 2003, the 2002 season was one I wanted to see after all the doom and gloom of the Ferrari domination (wonder how it was for non-british F1 fans in 1992, I'm guessing a German's domination in an Italian team with a French boss was a "payback" moment in 2002). I enjoyed 2003 very much, a welcome relief from all the idiocy that was happening in F1 at the time.

I will get round to finding links to many tunes I have on Apple's behemoth, and post them up in a new board called "The Soundtrack to F1" either as a kind of "Movie" soundtrack or just a compilation that Bernie Palpatine could take hold of and strangle.

I once invented an entire F1 movie in my sleep...with sountrack in the background and everything. I can only remember little bits of it but trust me, it was epic. It was like watching a proper movie.
If I could remember the whole thing in detail and had the ability to make a scrpit out of it I'd be a multi-millionare Hollywood director by now.

In laymans terms, its a (financially) poor teenager with aspergers syndrome who has devoted his entire life to racing since he was a little kid, doesn't really understand how the world works, but catches a lucky break in a local stock car race, annihilates everybody in it, catches a major F1 team boss' attention, rises very quickly through the ranks, jumps into F1 a couple of races into a season and takes the sport by storm. Comes to the last race a point behind a Senna-esque driver, has the lead but hs to defend for his life, and basically a copy of Kobayashi on Nakajima occurs (strangely also at Interlagos, but at the first time), when new boy tries an idiotic block and ends up killing this F1 superstar for years. Descends into a spiral of doom, bust-ups (I think something to do with almost killing his brother came up), drug dealing, alcoholism, etc etc (This section of the film is a bit of a blur if you see what I mean).
Then it jumps something like 10-15 years in the future, where he has been long forgotten, and has a mediocre job, house, etc but meets this one former fan at a local bar...they talk and talk and is eventually persuaded into entering a little race...which he wins. The media interest returns so he hides again...but eventually comes back again. And it follows on from there
The penultimate scene is played out to Snow Patrol's Open Your Eyes, which is a partial re-run of the opening scene, where he is lying on his bed, thinking about how great his life would be in F1. It then cuts back to the 'present' and how well things are going again, and he feels like he really is on top of the world again. Until, at the final race, where he is just a single point behind some new rising star going into the last race at Interlagos, he is trying like hell to pass this newbie to take his first world championship. He tries a stupid lunge into Turn 1...smashes his car to pieces...and dies as a result. Last 17s of song is watching the crash happen...
The final scene is played out to Car Crash/Requiem by Antonio Pinto, with medical teams trying to save him, the whole scene is in slow motion and blurred, with the main charachter voicing over with a monologue reflecting on 'the end of the road'.

Final line is deliberately mangled and non-sensical because well...it reflects the main charachter

But back on topic, the soundtrack to said movie goes something like:
1. Franz Ferdinand - 40' [Opening credits]
2. Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
3. Moby - One Of These Mornings (Original)
4. Pendulum - Hold Your Colour
5. Crystal Method - Now Is The Time
6. Kasabian - Underdog
7. Ulrich Schnauss - Clear Day
8. Boom Boom Satellites - Push Eject
9. Groove Armada - Blame it on the Sun
10. Killers - Human
11. Lange feat. The Morrighan - Follow Me
12. Snow Patrol - Open Your Eyes
13. Antonio Pinto - Requiem

Sorry for the boringly long post, but it's friday and the damn weather means I can't go anywhere :lol:
