Apologies if it's already been asked and answered, but this year we're planning on going to the Belgian Grand Prix seeing as I'm 21 and the mother is 50. My question is does anyone know if Spa is the same as Silverstone, in the sense that if you have a grandstand ticket, you can sit anywhere you wa...

This should probably be in the joke thread but it's spider related. A guy met his friend who told him that spiders' ears are in their legs and to prove it he had a trained spider who would come when called. Sure enough he put the spider in the centre of the table and called his name "Here Spidey! an...

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.

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!!

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!

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?"

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.

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.

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.
