  1. Yes great drive to finish third, it was a shame he wasnt on the podium when he should have been though. I know Trulli eventually was given 12th due to overtaking Lewis whilst there was a safety car out, but he also had a great drive from the very back.
  2. Yes it was Legard, Ive always liked him on the radio but his commentary didnt seem to quite work for TV though I dont know why cos that doesnt make sense Anyhow hes ok, far better than James Allen!! (I'd have liked Brundle as main man with Damon Hill alongside) But apart from that, like you've all said, well done the BBC. How smooth was that production for the first race too! Love the forum after the race and the fact you can press the red button and watch loads of coverage from practice to the race at anytime. Really pleased for Button and Ross Brawn, who is a man I've always admired. Hope the team does keep his name. And great to see some over taking!!!!! Cars look hideous but that doesnt matter.
  3. Yessss great song, I love Mark Lanegans voice. Love him singing Autopilot live with QOTSA, awesome!!!!!
  4. The Lost Boys is one of my favourites. 'Cry little sister' is brilliant. Vanilla Sky's soundtrack is good too.
  5. I wont mention the qualifying result incase it spoilts it for anyone who hasnt watched it yet. But it was really entertaining, great to see the times so very close and a few surprises too! Im so glad BBC kept Martin Brundle too. And NO adverts!
  6. Aw god I want to get up early for the GP too, I will be shattered
  7. We got Martin Rice on loan from you. Great GK. Yeah, you did really well there.
  8. Torquay united-we're still doing pretty well. 3rd in conference.
  9. Managed to watch all of the first practice session. Loving the slicks but my god those cars are ugly!!

Yeah Dr, great days! Mansell, Senna, Hill. Good on the BBC. I caught them accidently the other night.
  11. Well IF we go down and IF Plymouth stay up, I'll sure be at that game!
  12. Woo hoo I've been watching some of the classics races late night on BBC 301. Working tonight so I will try and catch some of the practice sessions, isnt it great theyre showing it all!
  13. Our business is working because we already had a large customer base. We had a 'proper' service to offer. And people will always need their bikes serviced/MOT'd.
  14. Stevie if you have a recruitment background and 5 or 6 clients you get on with it's a license to print money. Go for it. Parky I have hundreds of clients, most of them are cunts, but I have 20 solid base clients who would take me to lunch but at the moment 20 clients isn't enough, it's pretty desperate times. You see traits around the country with clients - London and the South East: money to burn, will agree to nearly any terms if you get what they want but sadly I don't cover the sarf...yet Midlands (particularly the West Midlands): all cunts, dull, repetitive, play various consultancies against each other hate dealing with them - South West and Wales: jovial but dense and when push comes to shove normally haggle like fuck - North West and Yorkshire: I'll put them in the same bracket because 90% are cunts, they all expect a scam, they're incredibly pessimistic and they trust absolutely no one - hard to deal with but Yorkshire are even worse than the NW (only place I've placed someone round there is Sheffield) North East: seriously best people in the country to deal with and I aint even being biased, but sadly there's not much money to be had Scotland: when times are good it's brilliant, when times are bad it's terrible, when there's a recession forget about devolution Scotland seems to get it worse than anywhere. All in all to cut it short Parky I need a buoyant economy to go it alone, and London and the SE is the ONLY place to get big money, it really is true. Love you too!!!!!!!
  15. When I had the 2k taken off my credit card, the fraud dept of the bank were on the phone to me. How many brothers do I have, do they look like me (impossible - they're ugly). Do I trust them. Do I really trust them etc . I had to go to the polis to register a theft in order to get a crime number. This went on and on and on, until a lass in my local Whitley Bay bank had the gumption to phone up and it was she that found out about Barnsley and the daft chick there with the trembly fingers when she typed. Arseholes. Apart from the lass in my local bank who got a great shag out of it as way of reward. Oh you so so slinky snake you!
  16. Standard procedure, i got the same the form asked for permission to contact my ISP, it was then that i tore the form up! Well my form will be going the same way as yours if I have to do all that, I've got enough to do as it is without more hassles.
  17. Does anyone ever get the chance to find out what the overall outcome is of this sort of thing? Did they say if they'll notify you about what happens eventually? It should be that you're allowed to know who committed the crime so you can sue them for emotional trauma or something, just to serve the robbing sods right!! They didnt say they'd notify me, but I was given a ref no so I can ring them to ask about their progress.
  18. Aw Cath, what a gorgeous little man he is.
  19. Had a letter from Nationwide today confirming they'd reimbursed me. they said I may now recieve a letter of declaration which I must sign as they may be investigating this fraud.
  20. I'll tell you because thats EXACTLY the scenario that hubby faced one year ago. Well he wasnt sacked as such, I'd say things were just made so difficult for him to remain in his job that he left. He'd worked as bike mechanic/MOT inspector in the same firm for 29 years, the last 10 years or so he ran the workshop completely. Anyhow the daughter of the owner took over and of course had new ideas etc, they clashed so hubby left. We had £5,000 given as a gift from his parents. nothing more except my wages and just alittle savings. We were scared stiff but there was no way hubby could work for anyone else, he'd run the garage his own way for too long. Besides why should he? he'd made others well off for long enough! Tbh it was all go and luckily we didnt have much time to ponder on the 'what ifs' Within a couple weeks we'd found a unit on a trading estate to rent, all our mates helped to get it looking smart. Luckily hubby had most of the tools and equipment he needed as he'd bought it all off 'snap on' overs the years. (thousands of pounds worth of gear which I think we can still claim the tax on) We sorted out accounts with parts dealers, opened a business account (major headache in itself) had a nightmare getting insurances, found an accountant... etc etc ..its always the paperwork stuff that gives you the stress!!! He opened the doors of his garage last April. One year on now and things have been pretty good. Our aim was just to try and make it through the first year which we've done. A big learning curve but I have to say apart from 2 or 3 quiet weeks after Christmas hubby has been pretty much flat out with work. Having been in the trade for years and knowing so many people, a large majority of his old firm's customers came to him plus new ones too. Their loyality and support has been briliant, many say, 'Bri has looked after my bikes for years, I'm not letting anyone else touch them!' So considering our bad timing with the recession an all, things have worked out. . Now we are finding we could do with bigger premises and plan to put in our own MOT bay. Im very cautious about it all though.
  21. A GoPro Motorsports Hero 5 WIDE video cam racing camera. My son just bought one for his race car.
  22. I do like it but not enough to want to buy it. I spent £320 pounds on a painting last year and Im still in shock!! but it means alot to me.
