No! Just you, you sick freak!!

If you are used to this kind of game go for 'Pro' AI and put a few of the driver aids onto a lesser setting. (Not daft things like the dynamic racing line, auto braking etc, lose them straight away. I mean the ABS, Auto gears and traction control.)

At the moment I would pay very little. I am actually regretting renewing my subscription. I respect that the owners/mods are a little damned if they do/damned if they don't but quite simply this forum is not reliable. The 5 pounds was paid to help ensure reliability. Therefore it's not worth it.

Utterly fantastic. A good bit of redemption for Combo on there, but his appearance did feel a bit too random. The r*pe scene at the end of the third show was probably the most difficult thing i've ever tried to watch on tele, it felt gratuitous to me at the time but now I've seen how well it set up Lol's Dad for a fall it was superbly done. So, 'This is England '90' anyone?

Latest results: Valencia: 3rd Silverstone: 4th Germany: 7th Hungary: 2nd Belgium: 5th Italy: 1st (!!!!) Singapore: DNF Japan: 3rd Chugging along nicely now. Just 13 points behind my 'appointed' rival. Jenson Button.

Seaborne conceeded the penalty today. Useless f**k.

The only vague bright spot: Do Prado got off the mark. And that's it. Utterly f**king useless shower. 2 points thrown away. 2 Points slipped that would have helped propel us out of this miserable f**king league. Yes, I'm f**ked off.

An anecdote by an old mate of mine always made us hang our heads in disbelief. He used to work on cross chanel ships as an attendant. Passenger (In rough conditions I may add...): Excuse me, is there a pool table we could play on board?

A sound investment then. Still, my point stands. Albeit through ownership rather then invention.

Oh for pities sake. This game is NOT a Derby. I like seeing them do well! Obviously I want us to win on Saturday but if they win fair play to them. The sooner we are both above the Skates the better.

So, in summary, he caused his own death by inventing those rediculous things. Sometimes life is beautiful in it's way.

Absolutley!!! Hear hear!!!

The one and only. Just realised that my results in my first career have been done with 'Pro' difficulty (Not 'Legendary') and still with auto gears on and Full traction control and it's the first season of 7. My results so far: Team: Hispania Bahrain: 13th Australia: 14th Malaysia: 10th Shanghai: 6th Spain: DNF (Far more difficult then the prior tracks.) Monaco: DNF (Was over 3.5 seconds off pole, hopeless, my god this track is unforgiving.) Turkey: 3rd Canada: 2nd Got reputation up to level 10 already and Lotus, Virgin, Toro Rosso and Sauber are showing interest in me for next season.

- Just posted my first impressions on the Codemasters forum. Here it is to share. Finally got the game this morning. 5 hours on I am ready to do my first impressions review. Firstly, the negatives. The pit lane bug has cost me a little bit, a points position at Oz was on until I got held up for 11 seconds but otherwise, by simply ignoring the pit in call I have avoided any more problems. Also, a points finish in a Hispania..... I have finished 6th at Malyasia and 10th and Shanghai. I fear the game may be a little on the easy side (although I will conceed I am using Auto gears and full traction control.) The presentation is almost too spartan for me and the 'live the life stuff...' well, it's not bad but it hardly makes me 'feel' like an F1 driver. However there is one overiding thing that renders all of the previous null and void.... ....Its an absolute blast to play! I am no sim expert, I have never played and in all likelihood will never have the time to devote myself to iRacing or similar. I am in full time employment with a lot of other obligations. Games like this are simply a hobby I want to enjoy. It is an absolutley wonderful game! As an F1 fan it has given me the up to date, graphically beautiful and adrenaline filled experience I was after. It is not perfect, hence why I will not give it a perfect score, but for 'fun' and 'enjoyment' alone - Which is after all what these things must be about, and in the knoewledge that the main problems will be addressed by the developers, I without hesitation give the game. 9/10

Do not ignore your own history, the lessons learnt will serve you well going forward. Great read Lets B, cheers for that.

The fuel expenses on some prior jobs have felt like wonderful perks. (40p a mile at one company, after a few trips a month it ended up like a second pay day.) Getting to visit many different parts of the country for work at the moment at the moment is fun. Some of the hotels i've stayed in on expenses have been outstanding.

It may well be the need for him to adjust to the pace/fitness requirements of the english game. (Or some similar cliché) When I saw him v Rochdale he reminded me a lot of Belmadi, technically able but not on the same wavelength as the players around him. I suspect there will be a lot more to come from him.

I never quite understood us signing Seaborne, especially when we seemingly snubbed Elliot Ward to get him in and he wasn't getting into the team ahead of Aaron Martin. However, after a not exactly emphatic start for us at the back end of last year Nige brought him straight back into the team v Colchester (where he did extremely well for me) and started up at Hillsborough. Is this just because of injuries to Martin and Fonte, or is he impressing Adkins enough to be first choice? Either way, best of luck to him.

Damnit, why can't my holiday finish now so I can play it! Fly back tomorrow evening and have Monday off to get to grips with it. Apparently the 'pitstop' bug where your crew is too cautious at releasing you when AI cars are around is being looked into. Either way.... Cannot wait.

Not Kyle Reece then? It's not a last gasp attempt to save humanity from Skynet?

Am looking forward to it, however it will be buggy as hell on release but i've never personally found it bugged to the point of unusable. Yay for patches.

Hammond and Morgan = Gerrard and Lampard. My 2 pence.

Can't beat a strong bit of Stilton. Awesome cheese.

How dare you I met them all at A.A. Like any modern man.
