Hear! Over the past few weeks I have witnessed countless muppets driving in thick fog without lights or without foglights and/or with inappropriate speed (either like a bat of hell or so slowly they might as well get out and walk).
Grrrr!

Ahem.

Merry Christmas, have a great one!

This is one of those links that really did make me laugh out loud - Thanks!

I know they've been after him, but I kind of expected him to go for sports cars (who wouldn't want to design a Le Mans winner) or something like that...

Two questions remain unanswered for next season now: Who joins McLaren, and where will Fernando park his derrière? There are other seats to fill, but frankly who cares who will drive the Toyota?! ;-)

Impressive stuff, nonetheless. I was far more surprised at his old boss's move to Honda. 2008 should be a very interesting season indeed.

In fact, having read that list, I'd sort of fear for my life if I didn't...

Well if you must know, exclusive pre-order concert tickets was the intended purchase. The biggest gripe I have is that I was half way through getting tickets that would have sat me 7 rows from the stage, and now we'll be seated in a teired section. Most annoying.

"Protecting Public Service" Seems to me that they are doing more damage than protection!

I'm being picky. Please feel free to ignore me - I often do!

]]> 2007-10-11T11:14:33+00:00 JD comments on Comic Genius http://www.dane-online.org/blog/archives/002001.php#009303 JD Comment on Comic Genius 2001@http://www.dane-online.org/blog/ To be 100% fair I should point out that a large proportion of the group were Portuguese, and that a large proportion of the Portuguese weren't alive when Morecambe and Wise were performing. However, I was still slightly perturbed by the idea of people not knowing the names Eric Morcambe and Ernie Wise.

It seems that my colleagues, who are largely Australian, know and love British Comedy and are often found quoting Monty Python and Black Adder (hmmm... Australians, snakes...). I have recently introduced one of them to The Fast Show (specifically Jazz Club). Just yesterday I was saying to K that it's time to expose them to I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, but explaining Mornington Crescent could be quite a task!

"16, nah that's not right, it's only 14... " but then forgot to change it before i submitted!

LOL!

]]> 2007-10-04T10:34:06+00:00 JD comments on Rookie Champion http://www.dane-online.org/blog/archives/002000.php#009299 JD Comment on Rookie Champion 2000@http://www.dane-online.org/blog/ That's a fair point... I remember when I was loitering around the Mini 7 paddock that those drivers who made the jump from Sevens to Miglias1 were not regarded as rookies in the Miglias if they were in Sevens the previous season.

1Seven = 1000cc, semi-slick tyres, 120mph. Miglia = 1300cc, fat slick tyres, 130+mph.

Lewis Hamilton has been driving in competition since the age of 8 when he competed in Karting... he is now 22, that's 16 years of competative racing already! Looked him up on Wiki to check my facts! ;-)

I would be a rookie, having never driven in a race of any kind (unless you include bumper cars!!)... but i don't really see them as rookies at all...
