Then we agree. Finally

I'd keep him over half of those you mention. Very, very good player.

Yeah, I do, it's a lot more expensive than breakfast.

Nah, not me. We get a break at 10ish with all sorts of brekkie stuff laid on. It means I can miss lunch without being hungry in the afternoon.

Are you suggesting I should skip breakfast?

That would depend on your particular level of Mary Whitehouseness.

I reckon we won't have any sort of budget cap next year. I think we're far more likely to see further technology capping, limiting the use of exotic materials, reducing wind-tunnel time further, limiting factory hours or head-count, increasing the life of gearboxes and the introduction of this "low cost" engine idea where they're all built to a strict design and are built to last a few races. A financial budget cap will be far too hard to enforce in an industry where some teams make their own parts and some sub the work out to remote machine/composite shops, for example.

It's ridiculous when viewed with a little empathy. Yes, the £400m that Ferrari regularly spend is ridiculous, and Renault won back to back championships on a third of that budget, so the big spend doesn't guarantee results but cut that back to £40m and you're looking at a few thousand unemployed engineers in the UK alone. When you consider that the customers will not see this saving - i.e. ticket prices won't fall - you have to ask yourself why the sport needs that sort of drastic cutback and who the winners are...

Jeez, I haven't got time to read everything! I like to make my ill-informed views based on headlines and snapshots of posts that I glimpse as I scroll through the threads looking for rude words.

They use Beef Jerky, but to be honest the bacon we have in the canteen at breakfast time shares most of the dried out qualities of Jerky.

Clearing up their mess? That's like doing the vacuuming with an atomic bomb.

Can't find any reason why in the Admin area, Eyes. You certainly weren't banned or anything....

Indeed, this is more confusing than the whole administration thing.

You can't catch Swine Flu from eating the flesh. Idiots.

Simply not true. They've just declined to return their entry form by the 28th of May, and they won't be the only ones. If anyone apart from Williams (and possibly Force India) do I'd be very surprised.

Lol. Nice work Torres.

Alps, is Mark Fry still getting close to trumping MLT in the cult hero stakes?

I could make these at work....

I say yes.

An interesting concept. When does that start?

I don't mind the spamming (as you call it) as some of the things you'll be covering are better off not covered on here IMO. I was just taking the **** out of the way you typed your link, as it fails as a hyperlink.

Well, I would sign such a petition because I'm sick of hearing the same old rhetoric from the same old faces. Onwards and upwards.... or oblivion here we come!

Chernobyl is in the Ukraine, not Russia. Otherwise very good.

Can't believe they're advertising Assassins Creed II on the tv already, with a release date of Christmas 2009. Mental.
