I personally on the other hand, am an oddity amongst my age-group, having started drinking only after I turned 18. Hell, I got more flak for it on school than Nelsinho is getting from this forum atm

On my hand, I'm in the minoritary group of people that don't smoke anything. Simply not for me.

Even if you put that face, I won't follow you.

I just don't do anything. Apple juice is far out for me.

Oh dear...maybe I am slipping into this stereotype a bit...I started smoking when I was just 10 :oops:

And what I hate most about Frankie Boyle is he stole my autobiograpy title if I ever become famous enough to write one...

I was wondering: Is JV the most desperate former world champion in F1? Ever...?

Probably. Don't really mind either way.

What's more important is that YOU RESURRECTED THE DEADTHREAD.

1. Did anyone make the flan? If not I am very disappointed.

2. Wow, its boring at the moment. All the threads are about helmet colours and the the unlikely event that Stephan GP will ever field a car. In testing the cars that we expected to be fast, are indeed much faster than the cars that we expected to be slow. :roll:

Lewis has decided to make up with Nicole (yawn). (If this were football or golf then then Lewis would have jumped Jenson's girlfriend by now. Now golf has more sex than F1.

) When does the season start ? When will Jean Todt book 5 prossies ? When will Mansell come back ?

Thread necromancy is against the laws of nature--fortunately, so is the internet.

Also, what's against the laws of all that is decent and right in the world is that I have to buy 149 additional channels that I'll never watch if I want to get F1 coverage on my seldom-used television set.

Streaming F1 videos from some pirate site in Russia is a non-pleasant way to watch a grand prix, also.

Nigel Mansell is the most desperate former world champion, and resurrecting this thread is like Mansell's career. Endless.

You stole my conspiracy theory you bastard.

I (to TCF Editor Vince) wrote:Man, this is has been such a slow news day. I'm guessing the following is about to happen now...
The Sun would invent some headline about how Jessica Mitchiba cheated on Button with Hamilton, and then The Telegraph would say Button intends to leave. The Spanish Press would say Javier Villa is going to replace Button. Then Button, Hamilton, Mitchiba deny the rumour, but Martin Whitmarsh cries and begs Ron Dennis to come back anyway. The whole think is forgotten a week later.

I was wrong about the last part apparently... :lol:

"Chandhok" sounds a lot like "Chanoch". I'm yet to decide whether this is a good thing or not.

Actually it doesn't, or you're pronouncing one of them (or both) wrong.

Damn, that's slightly embarrassing :oops:

However, they look very similar when written down

The point still stands?

Uh... if looking similar when written down accounts for anything, then yeah, sure XD

Since I also thoght they sounded alike: How are the names pronounced correctly?

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 09 Mar 2010, 18:50

He's a nice fellow (nothing personal), but I still have no sympathy for de la Rosa driving in Nick's seat this year.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 09 Mar 2010, 18:57

Nick Heidfeld is a dismal git. Here Nick, have a cup of cheer the f**k up.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 09 Mar 2010, 20:10

Heidfeld was tired of running in circles. In fact, he wasn't racing.

lostpin · Post by **lostpin** » 09 Mar 2010, 20:52

The 2010 season was engineered to be exciting. And that means taking Heidfeld out.

OK, they don't sound alike. Thanks!

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 10 Mar 2010, 14:02

Nick Heidfeld deserves a drive much more then Heikki Kovalainen and Takuma Sato deserves the Sauber seat more then De la Rosa, Sauber missed a chance with the Swiss Japanese dream team.

Tealy · Post by **Tealy** » 10 Mar 2010, 14:12

Why does everyone else (Not here thankfully) seem to think it is a big deal that De La Rosa has experience of driving an F1 car on a full tank. He doesn't have that experience!

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 10 Mar 2010, 16:13

F1 2010 will be about adaptation, not smoothness. Yes Jenson, we're looking at you.

RejectSteve · Post by **RejectSteve** » 13 Mar 2010, 10:16

Not so much a rant but as an observation: Last year, Ferrari were technically lost. It seems some of their fans are still lost; I'm watching a biathlon event from Finland and among all the flags is a lone flag with Corsa Rosso and the famed Scuderia crest. That guy isn't even close to Sakhir.

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 19 Mar 2010, 09:29

Dear Red Bull: next time, use the time to check the oil levels and the spark plugs, instead of coming up with colourful names for the cars.

Debaser · Post by **Debaser** » 20 Mar 2010, 22:02

Having just watched an appalling display of refereeing in the England-France rugby match can I say we need Jamie McGregor! Prove that the refs from the other hemisphere aren't all rubbish, the guy today (Bryce Lawrence) was a joke.

I was at that, you guys really ruined the Croker send-off. Damn you, damn your country and damn your back-row.

Deserved to win it though in fairness.
