"Lewis Hamilton kept dangling before Turkish GP If they pay you enough, then they get to pull the strings. Lewis Hamilton put on his racing gear today to deliver a message from his sponsors in the run-up to this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix. The young British driver, who narrowly failed last year to win the Formula One championship in his rookie season, made a guest appearance in Troya, a historical...
Synopsis: yes. I promised this post in comments to Chris's on Blackburn's myths below, where I took my life in my hands and disagreed with John. I think that actually, there probably is “a general skill called management which works in any and all domains”, and, just to raise the tariff and secure gold medal [...]
Any news story that mentions Straub Beer in the first sentence is worth a read, let alone one that links beer and book-lovers. From the Philly Inquirer: A book club that keeps writing new chapters . ****** Speaking of Straub, I thought Sam had come back when I saw the quote from Antirust in the Sunday paper . I wonder if the PG realized they quoted a blog entry from 3 months ago ? ****** Which bring...
I hate football. It's just so easy to become depressed with it. Yesterday was as low as low can be. With every football fan, you have teams you love, and teams you want to see do well. Anyway, my teams are basically Colwyn Bay, Liverpool, Welsh teams, and North West teams. In the last 24 hours, I [...]
Max Mosley has given an interview to the Sunday Telegraph - whose F1 correspondent Kevin Garside was just about the only journalist to stick up for the FIA President following the sex scandal story in the News of the World. Mosley made his position on the matter quite clear: I think what happens is they think [...]
John Stewart hits the winner!! "No decent football on today," I mention to JJ on the phone first thing this morning. "There's only Queen of the South against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final, which will be boring and one-sided. So I'll just go for a session in the gym and make my way back home very slowly." I get in and everyone on the radio is raving about what an amazing game this was and...
Scanning the various news headlines on Google News, one gets the sense that Max Mosley's days are truly numbered. Alongside the largest automobile clubs, now former world champions are calling for Mosley's head in a basket. A source for the London's Daily Telegraph has described Mosley as being inflicted by a "deepening madness." Err... I think he has always been more than a little mad and don't we...
We told you yesterday about the chaos and protests surrounding the London leg of the Olympic torch relay, well now you can see all the fun and games for yourself. In addition to the videos embedded after the jump, the BBC has a blow by blow account of all the major flashpoints on the route as well as video footage of each one, while Londonist has a series of pictures (including the one embedded here)...
Philip Trippinbach points out that some of the "crowd-sourced" video of the Olympic torch protest in London was better than the BBC's. And rightly says with more and more amateur video on the web we'll see more of this...
The News of the World has published a stack of fresh allegations against Max Mosley this morning. The newspaper is clearly not concerned about Mosley’s declaration that he will sue them. In a “tell-all” interview with one of the prostitutes (a typical tabloid tactic) it specifically targets Mosley’s defence that his now infamous bondage session with [...]
A report from the front line of Formula One in the Kingdom of Bahrain - a business activity, a den of politicking and conspiracy theorists and last of all a sport. I tell you, it is impossible to watch what...
On an ESPN online chat Jozy Altidore of the New York Red Bulls told readers that he has a bruised knee and his playing status for this weekend is "day-to-day". ~and~ Here it is folks. The list of what every player in MLS is making! Who do you think is the most overpaid? ~and~ Ronaldinho heads for the shelf. He has torn a muscle in his leg and will miss the rest of this season for Barcelona. Now what...
As a few people have mentioned in the comments the Crown Prince of Bahrain has told Max Mosley not to attend this weekend’s Grand Prix following his refusal to step down over the sex scandal. (Oddball posted the letter here). I think it’s further proof of what I wrote two days ago, that Mosley cannot perform [...]
