Slice bread, put in toaster, depress lever, does not stay down. Repeat step 3 several times - same result. Hmmmm. fetch tools, take toaster apart, find no fault, put toaster back together again, plug in. Ta Da !! It works! Informed by wife that toaster does not stay down if not plugged in. Informed ...

Dr. G, admire your taste.

Every British GP from 1974 (Scheckter) until I left for Canada in 1987 also Race of Champions and International trophy races. Then every Canadian GP from 1987 to present. Also managed to fit in Monza x 3, Spa x 4, Zolder, Zandvoort, Indianapolis ( +one 500). Still got Monaco and Le Mans on the bucke...

If I still lived in UK I might have said Zandvoort a) because it was easily accessible and b) I saw James Hunt win his first GP there. Now I am t'other side of Atlantic I'm thinking Watkin's Glen.

Not quite sure how different from an existing solution an item needs to be before you can get a patent and if a very different solution then falls outside of what are fairly tight regs. Also not sure if the time frame to get patent granted (in how many jurisdictions?) would be short enough. Wow that...

A lot of this depends on each person's perspective and knowledge of history. For the majority that occupy forums like this, since it's English-speaking and heavily influenced by British tabloid media, such drivers as Mansell and Hamilton dominate, while others are casually dismissed. I could not ag...

Sticking with the cowboy/horse theme.... A cowboy rides into town, hitches his horse to the a rail then walks around and lifts the tail of his horse and plants a big wet kiss right on its pickle. a fellow watching all this asks him "Say, why did you kiss your horse on his pickle?" and the cowboy rep...

I have a flagpole outside my house up which, if the result warrants it, I run a flag. We also open a bottle of champagne as an aperitif that evening. Less than favourable result? leave up the windsock and eat bread and water.

No. It also penalizes the poor SoB stuck behind Mr Wide'n'slow. And what happens when the turbo kicks back in? Penalties also need to be seen by the spectator; the TV viewer may get it but those actually in the crowd may not know why X suddenly slowed.

I left UK over twenty years ago so I'm not really current but do you really want to go somewhere where the economy is going down the crapper? Do you believe they won't tax you up the ying-yang to get out of that? I think proximity and ease of travel may be something of an illusion; what's another co...

I don't have a problem with Churchill on the fiver (I no longer live in the UK anyway) What I do have a problem with is the holier than thou types who come up with some specious argument against anyone you might want on a banknote.

Maybe the problem is that none of the women Moss knows have the mental aptitude for F1. So the guy knows the wrong women, you can't crucify him for that.

I'm with Voltaire on this one "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" Mind you, Voltaire also said "The composition of a tragedy requires testicles" Is it not better for all concerned that Moss reveals his biases and does not waste the time of those with a...

Detours. A few guys leaning on shovels, some traffic cones and a few confusing signs that run out of directions once you're thoroughly lost and maybe enforced by the odd road roller here and there.

No. To whom are you trying to prove your worth? None listed seem to be the sort of people I would seek to prove anything to.

Once we didn't so much evade security by breaking in as much as we failed to leave. Went to Brands Hatch for the Friday and camped/hid in woods Friday and Saturday night. remember also "borrowing" a punnet of strawberries from Tyrell as we strolled through paddock. Try that now and they'd probably s...

I too am self-employed and while I can't say I hate the job there are certainly occasions when I would much rather be doing ANYTHING else!! the retirement home is almost complete, but not close to being paid for yet so a few more years to go.

About time for this thread to move up the board again so: Jarno Trulli's Grappa Don't know if it's available in UK (why would it not be?) but found some in the SAQ in Montreal and it's pretty damned good stuff. Also some of his wine is none too shabby either.

I once read a review of a Van Morrison show (a musician I greatly like) which said "Sings like an angel - looks like a potato" Di Resta, I have to say looks pretty spud like and performs at a very average level Case closed.

In some ways I hope Mercedes does not buy it. I went to the Mercedes museum a couple of years ago, the building itself is amazing but the contents are thoroughly mind-blowing.
