  1. Might have been Still no appetite really but managed to get a cheese on toast down earlier, I just cant resist cheese no matter how hard I try have been attacking the Baileys on and off so feel bit drowsy, but in a good way!
  2. Agreed, just as I'd gotten to the midway point and posted my last comment above all he went on about was TG Could've done with another chapter really focusing on the actual sacking and court case, but I guess the book was finished then and needed to go to shops. Doesn't mean he couldn't have written one for those of us who have the digital version
  3. So one way or another, I need to consume copious amounts of alcohol until my liver screams for mercy? Sold!
  4. Never heard of that one!
  5. I made a catastrophic error with Baileys last night in my hallucinatory stage: My throat was really dry so to soothe it I drank a huge glass of lemonade followed straight away by a huge glass of Baileys... Yes, it all curdled in the back of my throat and down to my stomach!
  6. *insert Stephen Hawking explanation here*
  7. ...and therefore demand sympathies from you lot! It started as a cold and is now proper flu, complete with hallucinations of me being in the army and fighting Nazis with the help of my two cats Don't feel like eating so comfort food is out, and I can't walk straight so driving is a bit of ano-no really. Getting sloshed is still an option though I guess... /emo
  8. Why on earth would you put 18s on an Ibiza? Must've looked like a roller-skate
  9. It'll need a trickle charger at the very least, and I'd probably start it and take it for a 10 min drive at least once a month to avoid any issues.
  10. You wouldn't apply the handbrake. You'd go both feet in and start praying, although engine braking would be more useful you simply wouldn't have time to think about doing that with your bum doing 50p-5p impressions. The general rule is if everything starts going wrong, jump on the clutch and brake and release the steering wheel to avoid breaking your wrists when you hit the wall.
  11. He was only doing 95mph at the time of the crash. How many people here drive at that speed on the motorways and don't give it a second thought? Having seen and read all of that it hasn't changed my opinion on tracking cars at all. Driving cars fast is inherently dangerous, however these sort of failures can happen just as easily on the road as on the track. Track safety is all down to the marshalling IMHO, which is why I go with the same companies over and over again (Bookatrack, MSV) and avoid others that I have personal experience of being utterly sh*t (Circuit Days). You will always get one ***** on a trackday who is out there trying to prove something, but careful, quick and decisive marshalling should stop an incident before it happens. On the odd chance a marshall fails to see something that you do (overtaking on a corner), then it's up to you to go and report that person and not just sit in your car fuming: So many people I know do that instead of complaining. That said, this was just a mechanical failure that could happen to anyone at any time. It's horrible to watch, the guy was very lucky, but more accidents happen on the roads than ever happen on track.
  12. I'd hardly call it defecting. He got sacked by the BBC and will never work for them again, he's always struggled to get a proper race seat over his career and I bet Five offered him a load of cash to come and drive fast cars on a track. This whole thing has been one giant boost for Collins, and so very well orchestrated. I'm halfway through his autobiography atm, so far he's ignored most of the TG stuff and spoke mostly about his races and his time in the forces. Really good stuff.
  13. Depends on insurer as to whether glass cover includes a new top, but for 95% of them it doesn't.

    ESP question.

    [MOD]No, this thread is locked because some people clearly have issues comprehending my last post in here.[/MOD]
  15. Eyelids = Utter, utter chav tat They're almost as bad as the bonnets that come down over the lights on Euro sh*tboxes. Tacky, ugly stuck on bits of plastic are never cool. So no, I'm not keen on them.

    ESP question.

    [MOD]Calm it down please chaps, we're all getting a bit too excited in here. Arguments are welcome, insults for the sake of it are not: If you think you're right, then explain why.[/MOD]
  17. Spray Finish Kare 1000p is awesome stuff. One coat per year lasts the whole year I've found, and that's with trackdays and very dusty pads.
  18. Seriously though, you do have to tell them about it.
  19. Fair enough, what do you do for a living then? Assuming you're a police officer of some kind, I'd have expected you to know that there's a significant difference between the regular 4chan boards and /b/.
  20. Congrats on completely missing the point. Do you spend much time on 4chan then?
  21. 4chan is paedophile heaven, you know that? No it's not. /b/ might be, but you can't tarnish the whole of 4chan by one section. Tbh the vast majority of the people on that list will have been stealing and deserve to cough up in court. Why people still think that downloading films/games/software that other people have worked hard to make is a mystery to me. 13 year old kids yes, grown adults no.
