    The best thing so far this weekend is having Rosberg correcting David Croft every few laps. Just not indulging his pish.

    Rosberg is class. Says what he wants and doesn't give a f**k😄

    Pick that oot Paddy.

    This is interesting🤔 Good to see the word Paddy is allowed on here but my post last week which rhymed with dicks rewarded me with a warning which I was informed will stay on my record forever😂 Maybe i'm just not in the correct clique..........@Bully Wee Villa

    I did some advanced training a number of years ago and if there was a narrow gap that two cars could just about squeeze through and you had right of way the instruction was not to breathe in and squeeze past each other hoping the other c**t was as skilful as you but to get your car right in the middle of the road to tell the c**t coming the other way that you had taken all the space you were entitled to and he’d just have to wait. 

    Surprisingly effective, particularly round here where a couple of narrow bridges that previous allowed two way free-for-all traffic have now been marked with priority directions. 
     

    As I recall it's known as presenting my vehicle in a bold but non agressive manner.

    Hopefully someone on here might be able to help me. I have a decent Iptv app but with Virgin as the ISP and they seem to have put a block on it. If I play it through my phone hotspot or through the Virgin via a VPN then it plays fine. Is there anything I can do about this or do I just need to put up with it? Also is there a decent VPN I could use? I only get 10GB per month on the one I have just now.

     

    Some users of my 'service' have problems with virgin throttling signal especially when EPL games are on and the advice is always to use a decent paid vpn. I don't use one but IP Vanish is one regularly recommended by several YouTubers i've been following for years.

    I caveat mine by saying I started watching F1 in the mid-90s. Schumacher is the best I have seen. Others, earlier, could be better (eg Clark). None comes close to his abilities. Spain 96 was unbelievable.

    Everyone who worked with him speaks well of him. He built Ferrari around him by force of personality.

    And underhand tactics.

    I've always liked Alonso, seems honest rather than the overtrained in PR robots most of them are. His honesty is sometimes only perceptible through a disguised wink though tbf.

    It's become all too sanitised and PC for my liking. Nascar Xfinity race earlier had a driver punted off who then ripped off his bootlid and threw it at the driver he percieved had put him in the wall😄

    Kalvin Phillips seems to have been a rotten signing for West 'Am. 

    Admittedly I don't see much of them but when I do he seems to be giving away penalties, gifting goals or getting sent off. 

    I raise you Danny Ings although he's had considerably less game time to make any kind of impact.

    I'm glad it stood. Stop rolling about pretending to be injured and play the game.

    I'm afraid to say Paqueta must be the worst for rolling about the deck after the slightest touch. Just bloody get up and on with it!!

    Does anyone actually like any of the drivers? Reading this thread it's like everyone just wants failure for everyone :lol:

     

     

    I quite like most of the ones who don't win every race now or in the recent past. Which is why I generally prefer Indycar and Nascar for the relative variety of winners.

    I just started watching the first series and this just absolutely broke me up. 

    I'm also late to the party and halfway through series 5....loving it.

    This advert came on the TV last night while I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and my mum was watching TV. I am a carer for my mum who has dementia. I was in the kitchen when I heard her crying uncontrollably when this advert  came on. My mum is 85 and is in a horrific way because of dementia and she is housebound. I know what they are trying to do in this advert is to make more people aware of the situation that having a loved one who has alzheimer's/ dementia, however I feel this is not appropriate to people and carers who are already aware of the disease. See what you think.

     

     

    This was on BBC Breakfast yesterday and the consensus was it was well meaning it didn't take into account the effect it might have on those with the condition as you have found out.

    Shogun is very good. Two episodes in and it’s gripping. Not being a writer or director or having any creative talent I’m always amazed when things that shouldn’t be so compelling are - a translated conversation about maritime treaties between a Japanese feudal Lord and a prisoner should not be high drama, but it is.

    It is very good. Just wait until the end of episode 5 is all i'll say.

    I've spent 39 of my 45 working years toiling at the coal face in the service of Their Majesties. I'm beginning to think I might not find anything better.

    I worked in various Unemployment Benefit Office's (as they were called then) in Glasgow and Paisley from age 16 to 21. It was OK but a bit soul destroying at times. We actually had a claimant who had the surname Smellie and on one occassion I had to go to the counter and shout his name in front of dozens of other 'service users'. Not sure who was the more mortified.
