Sadly it clashes with my motor club’s annual presentation night in Scunthorpe,and as I’m up for an award in the modified car class,it has to take priority.

The fact that I’ll be stopping in the hotel,and consuming possible large amounts of alcoholic beverage with my meal,have nothing whatsoever to do with it. 😀

Gutted that the 2 clash.

I feel a Fawlty Towers moment coming on…… 😀

Basil: ‘You started the war.’
German guest: ‘No we didn’t.’
Basil: ‘Yes you did,you invaded Poland.’

And now someone wants us to apologise for the whole event? Am I missing something here? :confused:

Should we therefore ask the Germans to apologise for building the Trabant?
Should we ask the Germans to apologise for putting their towels on the sunbeds?
Should we ask the Germans to apologise for their women having hairy armpits?
Should we ask the Germans to apologise for their greatest sporting hero who has won the F1 championship 7 times?

Well,maybe the last one is ok,but if we were to ask them to apologise for things that we thought were unsuitable,what do you think their response would be?

How about,up yours British swine?

I think the whole idea of us apologizing,should be treat with the contempt it deserves,and if there were to be any apologizing to be done,then it’s THEY who should be doing it.After all,the allies lost 1000’s of lives,unnecessarily,because one man had lost the plot.

Fantastic sites.

For me,F1 went downhill after Senna’s death.Never has there been a driver that was capable of winning races based on sheer hard work and skill.(And I remember watching that fateful day.)

Today’s breed have everything in the car for them,all that is needed is a device to steer it for them.But that technology is even in the sport I used to compete in,and that’s rallying.Gone are the days when everything in the car was mechanical,ie:gearboxes,diff etc.No computer controlled devices then.Any decisions on problems/progress,were made by the driver.Now they’re told when to pit.

But people will say,’That’s progress.’ To which I say,’B******s.’ Todays ‘drivers’ are nothing more than overpaid dummies,who sit in a car that’s controlled by those on the pit wall.It’s signed it’s own death warrant.

The loss of F1 in this country will certainly not be a great loss to me.Good riddance to it I say.But then it shows that it’s purely a business,I mean,the guy who has pulled the plug is an Englishman,you’d think that a GP in this country would be the last thing he’d want to get rid of.
