European leg of the tour over, pretty gutted, a lot of fun… But back home to the UK to recharge for a short while then heading off to the US and Canada for a 23 gig leg, starting next week. Happy-Happy!

Lets hope this time the US Customs don’t f*ck up my Orange Rockerverb like they did with my Mesa Boogie last time. Gormless twits!

Liking your thinking! May I introduce using the subjects for testing, squirting Fragrances, Shampoos, house hold Chemicals etc. into their sensitive parts of the body? It saves testing on Animals, which I love with a passion and it breaks my heart seeing them treated like this, and it stops Cruelty to Animals. I quite like that idea.

On a separate note regarding the killers of Lee Rigby, as we all know one got a definite life sentence, the other 45 years…

…On a separate incident not so long a go. Two coloured guys were hanging about, one was riding a Bicycle on the pathway when an innocent man had a go at him for it, and rightly so, paths are for pedestrians. The Bicycle lad’s friend that was with him approached the Gentleman, took a vicious swing at him, punched him full on in the side of his face, fell over a banged his head off the road. The lad that assaulted him casually walked off without a care in the world. The Gentleman died of his injuries a short time later… The 24(?) year old got sentenced 4 and a half years.

There’s something not correct there, is there.

EELightning I must admit I had a laugh at that as well. Lucky escape for the girlfriend also she could have ended up marrying that Bozo!

I wouldn’t normally at people’s misfortunes. I’d generally be concerned for someone’s wellbeing be it stranger or not… But sometimes the term, ‘the exception that proves the rule’ comes into the equation. Like this idiot:

It’s obvious what was going to happen… And when it did I had to laugh!

The first thing that was ever drummed into me was “Never point a firearm at another person unless you were going to use it!”

Common sense at the end of the day. You know that from your background in the military and I’m sure you didn’t had to be told that. As a Musician/Guitarist, I know not to mess about with Tubes while the Amp is switched on. It amazes me how many people lack common sense.

Sebastian Vettel, no personality?… Are you kidding, or what?

He’s the only driver in the field that answers everyone’s questions during interviews, he has a laugh, he jokes about, he talks at length – so much so even the interviewers have to stop so they can interview other people, he has a wicked sense of humour – a very British, understated sense of humour at that and he’s the only driver/team member that actually ‘approaches’ to be interviewed. He gives F1 drivers a bad name!

Rosberg – Funny guy, much like his father so fair enough!
Button – Complains!
Hamilton – Is always depressed and talks with an annoying American accent!
Raikkonen – Literally doesn’t give a sh*t… about anything! And doesn’t particularly like anyone nor anything, including himself! But that inadvertently makes him funny!
Alonso – Is passive!
Massa – Depends on his weekend, but is generally a cool guy!
Maldonado – Is a total Dick!
Perez – Is self-Blameless!
Grosjean – French!
Ricciardo – Has nothing to smile about, but a good and popular guy nonetheless!
Sutil – …Nobody knows anything about him except he’s a Formula 1 driver, despite him been racing for several seasons!
Hulkenberg – Punches people in the head in Far Eastern Nightclubs!
Kobayashi – Doesn’t eat Sushi! Other than that I really like the guy.
Vergne – French!

The rest just have to grin and bare they’re at the rear of the grid and are Ok guys. Those are the typical characteristics of an F1 driver!

Regarding the News of Michael Schumacher: I wouldn’t take any notice of those sources, especially British ones. Generally they all couldn’t give a sh*t about his wellbeing unless it’s something negative.

I’d much rather hear something official by those close by to him. If they haven’t made any statements then there’s no change in his condition, or they simply just want to keep it to themselves which they’re damn right entitled to.

Made me laugh!

Very funny guy. Love how Steve Rider is desperately trying to get on with Hosting while Vettel just keeps on ranting away… About nothing in particular, nor relevant to what he’s why there for. Haha.

Any other F1 driver would take the award, drone on with the same old ‘I’d like to thank every single person’ acceptance speech, then drag himself back to his table… Then go back to looking miserable and like they have the whole world on their shoulders…

I can’t get the link, but I remember Ferrari, once doing a tyre, and fuel change in 5 seconds flat.
Jim.
Lincoln .7

When the F1 cars had to refuel (which should be brought back today in my opinion) Ferrari were one of, if not the, quickest guys in the Pit Lane. It was incredible seeing them and McLaren changing tyres and refuelling when they both came in on the same lap.

Last year, Red Bull set the World Record with Mark Webber of, if I remember correctly, pretty much 2 seconds flat… From the car physically stopping, being jacked up, changing tyres, put down and being released.

I remember watching and saying to my Girlfriend: ‘Did Mark just literally drive through!?!?’

There are some that come to their senses. I’d check up on this Matador’s story… It’s quite touching I must say…

Wow…

Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz says his company could quit Formula 1 if he is not happy with the way the sport is run.

His remarks follow Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo’s exclusion from the Australian Grand Prix and the adoption of new rules.

Mateschitz said Red Bull’s future in F1 was more “to do with sportsmanship and political influence” than finance.

He said: “In these issues there is a clear limit to what we can accept.”

He also referred to the “inappropriate politicisation” of the sport.

Mateschitz also criticised the new format of F1, both in terms of the use of a fuel limit and in the sound produced by the turbo hybrid engines, which are much quieter than last year’s naturally aspirated V8s.

“You have to make F1 like it used to be – the top discipline of motorsports,” he said.

“F1 is not there to set new records in fuel consumption, nor to make it possible to have a whispered conversation during a race.

“It is absurd to race a lap seconds slower than last year. GP2 partially provides more racing and fighting and almost equal lap times as F1 with a small fraction of the budget.”

I have to agree with him…
