Exactamundo. Go out, and enjoy the music of life. Paint a picture, write a song, something like that. Then come on and discuss F1, and show us your picture/song/other pursuits.

Unfortunately, I can't do those things because I don't currently own a guitar and my paints are all at home...

BTW, would you use the order F1-GP2-GP3-Renault 3.5 or F1-GP2-Renault 3.5-GP3?

If we use the first one, I would have the second Tech1 car in Formula Renault 3.5, if we use the second one, I would get the first Lotus car in GP3.

I'd use F1, GP2, FRenault 3.5, GP3, F2 and FRenault 2.0 as the order. In my opinion that is pretty much accurate to the competitiveness of each class.


I'd swap GP2 and FR 3.5 myself - what with Jules Bianchi and Sam Bird switching to there from GP2 this year, and two biggest up-and-comers at the moment (Robin Frijns and Antonio Felix da Costa) in that category. Whereas I'm struggling to remember who was in GP2 - Davide Valsecchi, and Max Chilton was there too I think? Nobody who really springs to mind as a future champion, or even a race winner.

I spend so much time on here to try and get an escape from all the crap in real life. The fact that I have no real talent at anything.

You don't know until you try stuff. Earn yourself a little money, and get yourself some form of instrument like a cheap keyboard/guitar/drum kit from a car boot sale. Or learn to cook, or pick up a soccer/rugby/whatever ball and get practicing.

In short, follow the lead of someone/something that inspires you.

I've been there, man. Just immerse yourself in a pursuit that you currently appreciate, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it...

So yeah, the reason I haven't been here recently is because I've been having some major internet issues over the weekend. I'm currently on a computer at sixth form, so I won't be here regularily until further notice.

And that, my young friend, is what real life is all about. That's why I haven't been on here as regularly recently - uni placement (with an hour and a half's commute each way plus trying to commit to my regular evening commitments...), plus a trip to Ireland for a funeral this coming Friday.

In September, Pasta was 800 posts behind me. Three months later, he's 160 posts behind. :shock: :(

And no, I'm not gonna fight back by spamming the bejesus out of the word association game. I only post there when I know I can associate something completely unexpected, like I've just done with 'airport', and 'Jeremy Spake'. :lol:

(Airport was a BBC programme in the late 1990s going behind the scenes at Heathrow, for the unknowing...)

Well, not really. It's only because I said if Grosjean beat Vettel in the RoC, I'd wear it. But I do kinda like it, so I might keep it for a while regardless.

Jesus wept, Pasta's less than 100 posts away from passing me. At his posting rate, he'll breeze past me sometime before the 31st.

That's quite a target. You need to post 13 times a day for the rest of the year now!

Sadly, if only that were the case... No, as I stated once or twice over the past 8 weeks, I have been on an 8-week placement as an Occupational Therapy student in west London, which came to an end this past week. 8 hours a day, plus 90-120 minutes commuting each way, leads to little time for surfing the 'net...

And the only thing I'm likely to pull this Christmas is a cracker...
