If anyone has a spare omc f1 v8 cowl I need one...
I knew there were folks who hated the fact that Lewis got the McLaren deal, fact is he was 13 and had been winning races for7 years before then with just his dad. After 3 years he lost the McLaren deal----after he won in Macou against all the odds Whitmarsh asked him to come back. Yes pilgrim, he had it real easy-----so. Vettel never gave his dad a red cent huh! TYPICAL,Quote:

Packed some of the golf trophies in the suitcase ------up to 21 kilos and I haven't even put a pair of knickers in yet. Good job I'm not a fancy dresser, should mix well with most of the old farts.
Next year, we'll run the golf tourney on the Friday -----we topped up with a dozen of us-----seems like most folk don't arrive until late Thursday night or early Friday, just tried to keep the Friday and Saturday clear for non golf business .
Must confess to a flutter of thrilliment ----and forward lookinment---don't get many of those to the pound these days. Might have to resort to lousy jokes to fill the pages as not much----or indeed very little occurred today.
Forecast for next week is a little rain followed be a lot of rain and then it's going to piss it down so I shall be quite content to leave our little island for a week or so and indulge in a little Florida sunshine.
Will take look at the morning papers before I do tomorrow's post---- just might be something worth commenting on so it's time to get into the py's and wish you all well,MYGGWY.J.
we forgot to talk about the spoiled brats of F1 that sulk when they are losing
Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso, come to the top of the list..
Andretti ----Senna-----Hakkinen-------Lauda, all hated to lose, but it didn't necessarily make them spoiled brats!
Been a funny old sort of day------just in limbo-----could finish the final packing in no time flat-----don't have any projects on------piss poor weather, all condusive to making jack a very dull boy indeed.
Craig and Gary and the rest of the Geiko team are down in Key West, taking in the delights of Duval. Mark followed 'em down on Tuesday ------he usually winds up straightening a few bent props. I could have been down there but Jilly insisted I stay home for her birthday this year and when her who shall be obeyed demands it---------well -------let's not go down that alley.
O/P's lawyers have filed for unfair sentencing and demanded an appeal against the verdict, 10 months being grossly unfair--------after all they were only little bullets!!! Would be fairer to give the judge 10 months for gross dereliction of duty.
Time for me nap----get back to you tonight,
At a loss what to tell you really except Mark rang and told me four of the big boys (who should have known better) decided to play "Dodgems" and after a couple hundred yards wiped each other out, jolly hockey sticks-----how to spend $1,000,000 without really trying.
Hope they all fared better today.
170 boats in the poker run I understand------call them what you will, they're there in numbers, and can create "clout" and somewhere in the mix is a whole load of cash-------that relates to power if it's channeled in the right direction.
You may not have heard of the whacky things that have been going on over here-----well known celebrities like Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris , Max Clifford and probably your local vicar to mention just a few have all been put in the pokey for various SEX offences going back over 50 years.
Guess what?? They all want their sentences reduced!!
Now the judge listened to Max Clifford's appeal and decided he'd been a right naughty nasty bastard, so he added time on for wasting the courts time. Seems we finally found a judge with a sense of humour.
Dont matter whether your Chapel,Church or Catholic, Protestant or presbitarian Iman or Rabbii, they've all got a taste for the nasty, naughty but nice side of life-----five will get you ten your local vicar has been up to a bit of hanky Panky in the vestry of late. Be nice to the father, priest or padre, tickle his fancy a little------for three Hail Marys and a back flip down the Isle------it's forgiveness of the sins.
Pisses me right off when the very people you turn to in the hour of need, turn round and use and abuse. I'm not turning to religion this week.
Lets get back to F1 ------you meet a better class of CRETIN there, but I wouldn't take them home to meet my sainted mother.
Hamilton got spanked in Friday practice----but we all know that don't count for much.
Am still of the opinion that Rosberg will win the final race in Dubai and Hamilton will have mysterious management system failure, so even if Lewis wins in Interlagos and Nico gets a DNF he will only be on a lead of 49 Points-------guess how many points are up for first place in the final?
Yup, you guessed right--------50. I should stop being a cynic and believe in the Easter Bunny, Mother Goose, and Father Christmas.
Well at least I didn't have to post one of my dreadful jokes------and thanks for taking the time to read my nonsenses------MYGGWY.J.
They reckon Rolf Harris went funny after the RSPCA stopped him "tying his kangaroo down"...lolQuote:

Lewis lost the plot again, hope he don't go all conservative and play the numbers game. It's all on the double points in Dubai anyway. Brazil don't really mean a thing.
Let me Koala be......Lee
Let me Koala be
Tan me hide when I'm dead fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead.
Next village to mine is Ford-----has England's largest "Open" prison, (Penitentiary, Pokey, whatever) expecting Rolf Harris any day soon.
Most of the non violent villains, politicians, actors, newspaper editors and embezzlers and similar offenders wind up doing porridge in there. Same village as Ford airfield market and car boot sale. It all happens in my neck of the woods dontcha know.
Still, only four more days and we'll all be together, seeing who caught the biggest fish, hit 100mph, sank the fastest pint, stroked the tightest asse, or told the biggest fib, it's what old boat racers do.
Cannot ever remember aF1 race of such total insignificance to anyone as the 2014 Brazilian G.P.
Thanks BERNIE ----you made a right pigs ear of that one.
Well, it's over and done ( the Brazilian GP) guess we just have to wait and see how BERNIE calls it in Dubai .
Just seen the Coca-Cola Christmas ad with Shnozzle and his" MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY," they always pull something out of the hat for Michaelmas ------this years no exception.
Heard sod all from Key West, not from Craig or Gary (who both work for Gieko ) or Mark, son number one----can't get the staff these days, so got nothing to report from the keys.
Rememberance Sunday here, no terrorist activities thank God, all went without a hitch.
Old Ken WARBY is having a right old moan about safety cell rules and specs, stipulated by the powers that be. Written and regulated by people who know sweet FA about our sport, but have got a total stranglehold on how things are done. Was it ever so.!(World water speed record@ S&F ) Well worth a peek.!
Going on midnight here and we got violent thunderstorms with sheet and fork lightening, heavy rain, fun on the roads tomorrow, lots of flash floods. ( nice to be retired sometimes)
Countdown is 3days to Tavares-----getting all of a quiver----so goodnight folks MYGGWY .J.
Sorry that I,m going to miss you guys but we are building a new house here in IL where my wife & I are the guardians for our 6 year old grandson. I did buy a place in Haines City & plan to be back down after the 1st of the year, but will really miss you guys at OFF. Have a great time as I'm sure you all will.Quote:
