Re: 2012 F1 Pool
JW I always enjoy this pool but lookout for Vital spark creeping up on you, she is very good. :) I well remember the last time that she did that to me, but, then again, that's another story... May I take that Spark woman to task when she mentioned that it was all 'fun and banter' on this site. I di...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
My understanding is that Vital Santa has some Hot Wheels for Parahandy's stocking as the winners prize. That's odd, because the last time I spoke to Ms SparkPlug, she said she'd get some stockings that would take his mind off his Miss Piggy fantasies. Unfortunately, it seems to have backfired... pa...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
Many thanks for all your kind words re winning this incredible contest. It has been my dream to win this since I was a kid, which wasn't long ago. This is probably the pinnacle of my career. I would like to thank my mother, my dog, my next-door-neighbour and, above all, Ms. Spark, for her unswerving...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
Back to the business in hand... Unfortunately, Old Sparkle has been at it again with the hand-signal thing. We were away last Sunday so it was Monday evening when we watched the race, and, since there is a bit of a competitive streak involved with Sparkle, she was on the Internet as the chequered fl...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
Ahhhhh........ as they say - denique veritas In Parahandy's case it is sadly more likely to be a case of in vino veritas. I have to thank both the Romans and DM for their observations regarding my affection for the grape, but also have to question their accuracy. That said, "In Beer Chang, ver...

Re: The Pedants' Revolt...
Well spotted, DM... Two things got through to me about that particular piece of news. Firstly, the contractors responsible for the ‘erroneous spelling’ admitted afterwards that it was “A reminder to all our staff to double-check their work.” No, it wasn’t. It was a reminder not to employ illiterate ...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
I'm not really sure whether I'm allowed to do this, or whether I will be run out of town by the posse, but I do feel that we F1 fans need to look to the future, and, more importantly, we need to see what some of the big wigs in the sport see as the future. How much bigger can you get than Uncle Bern...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
It is impossible for me to follow the progress of my personal favourite, Vital Sparkplug, as sexual discrimination is keeping her from a podium place. What a shocking suggestion! I'll have you know that sexual discrimination has absolutley nothing to do with it. If you were better informed, you wou...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
As all of us know, there is nobody in Formula One that you want to beat more than your team-mate. This, it would appear, doesn't just apply to the drivers. Grand Prix weekends do seem to lend a certain sparkle to the Para/spark or Vital/handy household. Let me explain... A couple of weeks ago I chec...

Re: Bread maker needed.
Huge thanks to everybody for your help. This is Mr. Spark here - aka Vital Parahandy - and I'm the idiot that does the cooking thing round here, and was the one most interested in the bread maker. (V.S. was really only interested in the results...) Acting on information received we ended up ordering...

Re: 2011 F1 Pool
Totally agree, but I don't think that the result would have been any different had it not been red flagged. Vettel soaks up pressure like a sponge soaks up water, and like I soak up, well, beer... By sheer luck (nothing to do with 'using your skill and judgement...') I seem to have joined you at the...

Re: F1 Pool
As some of you might have realised, there is a sense of tension in the Vital-handy, or Para-spark household at the moment. We were having a full and frank discussion about the league and Formula One in general, and, just as I was explaining to Ms Spark that I was a fully qualified engineer with some...
