Racing cars without wings and aero sh** and thinking "Yeah, I remember that one"
Also kids thinking Shakespeare and the Beatles were contemporaries.
And the doc starting the conversation with "Well, at your age........."

I have often thought about this. I hunt (for food not for sport) and I must admit that it does worry me if I don't achieve a quick, clean kill. I also have, over the years, adopted several stray mutts (to offset the hunting guilt??) and my wife is convinced some have shown gratitude. I don't know ab...

F1 Canuck. Could not agree more. By far the most civilised way to go is via Metro but I would add that leaving the circuit at the end of the day may be better by walking (I have a place in Old Montreal so I'm lucky) but it beats having your nose jammed in someone's armpit on a crowded Metro train. T...

Well that was interesting, I just came home in a blizzard, navigating from power pole to power pole. When I look out the window now there are ravens PLAYING! They like the updrafts from hills and buildings so they can almost hover in place - truly awesome creatures.

I only read the subject line and my first thought was "Who? The Sacha Baron Cohen Bruno?"
Didn't he do NASCAR after F1?

OK not F1 but if we go back to Mexico then a little history may be in order so.... Pedro Rodriguez Porsche 917 Brands Hatch 1970 Margin of victory? 5 (count 'em, five) laps!! And that after a black flag penalty. Oh, and in the rain too. I was a spotty, impressionable little oik at the time but it wa...

Brambilla in the wet. Can't remember the year. rain was p****ing down, most "aces" and rainmeisters fell off. Brambilla "The Monza Gorilla" wins and then promptly crashes during his celebrations!
Poor *inaudible* died not very long ago while mowing the lawn and they say motorsports are dangerous.

It would seem unwise to stick with the present situation in the hope that medicating one party will solve the problems of all involved. You mention the supposed bipolar individual is engaged but you do not expand on what support (if any) her fiance is providing. I would give some thought to the noti...

I honestly cannot remember which came first The Scalextric (I had a sharknose Ferrari and I can't remember the other car) or the F1 - probably both about the same time. I remember Bandini dying and being upset about that. I, like another poster, also had an Italian grandfather so my blood runs Ferra...

A guy gets on a plane and finds, sitting next to him, an absolutely gorgeous young lady and strikes up a conversation. "So, why are you going to Montreal today?" "I am the President of the sex therapists society and I'm giving the keynote speech at our annual convention "Exploding the myths"" "Inter...

And then there were the miners who used to visit their local brothel after their shift ended. One day a new guy joined the crew and they took him along for the usual post-shift R&R. Upon leaving the brothel the new guy was concerned his wife would notice his now pink penis and asked what the others ...

In the wake, as it were, of the Russian meteorite and, thankfully, no fatalities this always irritates me: "Death toll still rising" What else is it going to do? "500 dead in disaster...Oh wait this one's still twitching. 499 dead in disaster" Or to put it another way "Some of the injured are not go...

Just guessing but "mistaken identity" may be from those with an interest vested in this guy wishing to muddy the waters. If you h guilty beyond reasonable doubt start chucking some doubts in there pronto.

ABSO****INGLUTELY !!! Yes. Last time at the doc for blood pressure told to "watch" salt. Started looking at processed items, it's like buying salt with a bit of soup, salt with a bit of sardine, salt with... you get the picture.

I use two strategies. With the missus I usually ask her to consider the possibility she may not like the answer and I give her the option to withdraw the question. In many other situations (as on plane last week) I ask do they want honest or polite? The twit on the plane opted for honest so I told h...

Could've been worse. Sweeny Todd burger anyone? Seriously though I do not buy ready meals unless really pushed for time (working/travelling etc) and 99% of the time I cook from scratch. One still ends up using the odd processed product such as canned tomatoes and the like. Here I even have access to...

I've read most of what has been posted. I like the idea of not allowing any crew in the pitlane until the car is stationary (perhaps a link between the cars telemetry and some sort of gate as used in skiing startlines) I do see a problem with this which may be worse than the problem we are trying to...

Despite now having the option to marry another man I'm still not gay. And that's precisely the point is it not? It is an option; it's not compulsory. These rabid twits foaming at the mouth about the evils of gay marriage seem totally blind to the evils perpetrated in the names of "normality" and "n...

Got frantic call from dog/housesitter this morning to say shower not draining. Flew in this afternoon and now have plumber with head under sink and impressive display of plumber cleavage - and you know that ain't good.

but certainly "discrimination" does. I am not sure even discrimination hits the nail on the head. Come the next election you will be asked to discriminate between that candidate whose opinions and values are most in line with yours. Certain retailers value "discriminating buyers" who prefer the hig...

Damn! Weather Office calling for blizzard tonight (actually only half-heard the radio - may have been a lizard warning but I don't think so) This HAS to clear up P.D.Q. I'm flying out on Wednesday

Wouldn't you constantly be having to pull them back up, or is that the whole point? A design feature! If your waist is narrower than your hips they will stay in place. Those of us with a more Rubenesque build would find they slide off a bit too easily thus restricting the use only to those whose fi...
