    Wotcha talkin' 'bout boys?  I can hear the farkin engines here in Brighton - they absolutely howl.  Don't want no stinkin' V8 sheet.

    You may just have been listening to the v8 super cars rather than the F1s. F1 Qualifying's just starting now. How do they sound right now?

    Yeah, I rode past the course this morning, on a road about 20 metres from the track and they were doing some early runs (in fact, it wasn't completely light). They're still farken loud.

    hehe.

    I have zero empathy for people who crash. Like, obviously I'd prefer not to see them crash, but I don't get that instinc that some riders get when they wince and shy away. [censored] that. Gimme more!

    Lucky I'm not a betting man. Although if that rain hadn't intervened I reckon I was looking good for the Cinquilla.
    Still, another couch arvo tomorrow, for sure.

    That's because you're the kind of guy that finds a way to crash his hospital bed during your annual extended stay, let alone master the feat of balancing on two wheels. :p You should take up unicycling while wearing a straight jacket and spray paint TAN on the front of it.

    The tragedy for him was that he lived in America, where without health insurance, he was unable to get timely medical attention. He would not have been famous if he had been able to get it treated when it was the "size of a honeydew melon".

  18. Oh [censored]! Some talentless chick just murdered the national anthem!

  19. Bottas - what an unfortunate name.

  20. Good race so far. What a [censored] of technology. I hope we have a few engines blow.
