Yes – that’s what I thought – getting a bit tricky with Deano on the warpath!!:diablo:

Those are wonderful “pilot’s-eye” views!:) Wish I could get up there more often….

Unfortunately you have, once again, misread or misunderstood what I said. If you care to re-read what I wrote it was as follows:

And if they lose, then, so what? – it’s only a game/sport.

Written in the context of my post which was all about winning or losing. The fact that drivers and other sportsmen indulge in exciting and dangerous pastimes for our enjoyment as well as their pleasure and considerable reward doesn’t alter the fact that that is what it is. One driver will win a race and the rest will lose. It’s a game/sport. If not what is it?

Linc – your posts are becoming increasingly bizarre – and rude!:confused: And why are you trying to convince me of the courage and skill of F1 drivers – they have my utmost admiration and like you I been watching F1 and its predecessors for more years than some of our fellow members have been alive.

Military, police, emergency services, and teachers are the ones on top of the list.

Of course many years ago there were very many days of strikes, which we remember well, but I don’t recall teachers’ strikes in any number. Just shows how (in)effective they were…..at least they won’t be striking between late July and early September!;)

I’m shaw you wuz well edicated, Arthur.:)

In fact the first time I went to Australia,Mr. Bee’s extended family lined up to poke me to see if I was real,as they couldn’t believe anyone could be indifferent to sport.

:D:D

And it is only just past Midsummer’s Day……..!!;);)
