I've offered Mr.VS a dirty sock to wear on his head instead of the pristine yellow cap, but he gave me that look.
VS :wink:

Re: 2022 F1 News and Prediction League

Not a bad race, all things considered, but I feel sorry for Leclerc who was definitely on for a win. Did spice things up a bit though. Lovely to see Gorgeous George on the podium! Felt really sorry for Perez having to relinquish his spot, but it was interesting that Verstappen looked mildly (I thoug...

Re: 2022 F1 News and Prediction League

How's the VS household tonight....? Congrats to Parahandy for now :D :thumb: :cheers: :cheers: The VS household is absolutely fine. I've bashed Parahandy over the head a few times with my wooden spoon, and, thankfully, the yellow cap was not thick enough to cushion the blows. :wink: Looking forward...

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Very clever play from Red BS with Crashappen getting a major tow from his teammate Perez in Q3 - very surprised Mercedes didn't try the same. Totally agree PH about Mercedes not using the same teammate tactics. I'm personally very happy about Verstappen being on pole, but he's going to have a hungr...

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Sorry for the quietness from España. We've been crazily busy after taking the unexpected decision of buying a house here and all the bits and pieces that follow the purchase. We've been renting houses ever since we got together (24 years ago) and were still in the rental mindset until we realised th...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

I haven’t given up VS, just put it on pause as I was too busy watching Clarkson’s Farm!! :naughty: Clarkson's Farm is absolutely wonderful. Watched all episodes and now eagerly awaiting season two. Yes, some of the incidents maybe a bit contrived, but I don't care. It's entertaining and informative...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

You really need to watch all three, DB. There's one particular extremely moving scene when an offender has a meeting with the parents of the guy he murdered. I can only guess that this particular situation happens more than we would like it to.

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Wow! Although I'm happy to be on top, I think that the Superbru figures are a slightly wrong. If you add up the scores from today's race to the previous scores, they don't add up (maybe this is 'woke' mathematics... :? ) As far as the race is concerned, it's refreshing to see Red Bull challenging th...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

TIME [BBC 1] A 3-part prison drama written by Jimmy McGovern and starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham. It looks to be quite dark, but has excellent reviews. Haven't started watching it yet. All 3 episodes available on iPlayer. Brilliant! Anything written by Jimmy McGovern will make you curl your t...

Re: Our Car Memories

My first car, which I bought in 1979, was a gorgeous black Triumph Spitfire (G reg). It cost me all my savings - £250 - but was worth every penny. It had a detachable hardtop, so as soon as I bought it I found a soft-top frame in the local scrap yard and the hardtop remained at the end of my parents...

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Well done, PH - keep up the good work!
I was mightily surprised to get what I did, but it won't last - just watch me slide and slide as the season progresses. :?

I do hope that this year isn't a one-horse race - come on, Verstappen (or anyone...).

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Inside No.9 BBC A brilliant series of stand-alone dark humour/drama. If any of you can remember ' Tales of the Unexpected ' and loved it, then you'll really like this. I think that they've just released series 5, but we're just working our way through series 2. Each episode is 30 minutes, so it's a...

Well, that's it for another year. Thanks, Pete, for hosting the league again. VS, I trust Parahandy will be provided suitable punishment.... :roll: Absolutely! He has to listen to an interview of Lewis Hamilton on loop for an hour a day bleating about lack of diversity in F1. Sorry VS I caught you i...
