Forget what I said. My news feed has finally picked up on a temporary stay of execution for the circuit. It's unknown what will happen after the season and on into next year though.

Brilliant. BTW, Kimi's son in 2026.

There may not be a race at Spa either, fella. The circuit's currently legally shut down after a judge set a permanent closure injunction against it. I have no idea whether it will be resolved it time either. http://sport.turbomagazine.be/index.php?pg=news&id=2681 Sorry, it's in French. Edit: Here's something in English http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2009/09/23/spa-loses-right-to-host-f1-race/ A race suspension until 2026, apparently.

Cheaper to go to Silverstone tbh.

So possibly linked then? QED

I'm actually pretty open-minded, I've just read enough on the subject to know that aggression is not the way to defeat the perceived terror-threat and that immigration is far from being at "out of control" levels.

Yep, try turning it over and having a look, SS.

The whole "Muslims = terrorists" mantra (implied or otherwise) by the EDL, plus the linking of wholly misinformed immigration levels to terrorism, which somehow happened halfway through this thread, are both examples of racial prejudism. The idea that the head would be cut from the problem by getting rid of non English/immigrants is very similar to the Nazi ideal of ridding Germany of the non Aryans. If you cannot see that both the words "Racist" and "Nazi" can be used to describe certain posts then you're the one who's pretty bad, tbh.

That was assault though. He was restrained, the event was over and she plodded over and kicked him in (what looked like) the head. I hope she goes down for it.

Nah, we'll have a top driver, almost certainly. We're still one of the big teams with the ability to achieve something. 2007's 2nd rate (to some) line-up of Fisi and Heikki was more a result of Raikkonnen signing for Ferrari when they offered him megabucks at the last minute than anything else. He was destined to replace Fernando for ages.

No one was "suspicious" as far as I'm aware. Everyone joked about it at the time and decided that if Piquet had meant to crash at turn 17 on lap 14 he'd have probably managed to do it at turn 14 on lap 17. Remember, this guy crashed 17 times whilst driving for us - it really wasn't that weird.

Presumably you gain kudos for playing the right records in the right order. Just as challenging as a real DJ.

No, that doesn't really stack up.

Kay. Perhaps you missed the excitement of them the first time around so i can forgive you for that.

Remeha?

None of the three you mention need making.

Even the DeLorean bit?

This typing suggests it's healed a bit wonky!

No, the OP is all about some sort of pseudo-Nazism as far as the evidence shows.

TDD, I gotta be honest, I don't spend my day worrying about being blown up by Muslims. Who the hell does?

TDD, even allowing for your intentions being good, you are talking a bit of drivel here and there. This.. "..you dont seem bothered about extremist nutters that would rather you were dead.. " is a doozy.

Kovalainen and Grosjean? Purlease! It will possibly be Grosjean, then perm one of Alonso, Raikkonnen and Kubica. My money's on Kubica and Kovalainen though. Just a guess.

The need for a safety car on that circuit was wholly determined by the positioning of the cranes outside of the barriers. There was no crane at turn 17.

Luminescent landfill.
