So what are you thoughts on his decision to drive for Ferrari in place of Massa?

I think it’s going to be great, just wondering if any of the other drivers will be as enthusiastic as Lewis Hamilton seems to be?

Don’t get me wrong, I thought at the beginning of his Ferrari dominance, he was an arrogant SOB. But then towards the end I started warming to the guy. Even more so when he appeared on Top Gear recently.

He’s definitely going to keep the other drivers honest. I agree with Eddie Jordan, he’ll be sniffing around the podium in Valencia.

At least Rubens Barrichello will be happy, for a short time, he won’t be the oldest driver on the grid :D

July 2009

Jul 312009

July 2009 is coming to a close, the country is still in the grips of a recession that shows no sign of coming to end, there are some encouraging signs though esepcially where the housing market is concerned.

We endured the deaths of much loved, iconic people, Farah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite and Michael Jackson.

We’ve celebrated 40 years since Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.

We buried more of our brave soldiers, some that have died too young.

After months of foreplay Microsoft and Yahoo finally got down and dirty between the sheets.

Biz Stone got the paint out and revamped the Twitter homepage, turning it into a real time search engine.

Yet another team pulled out of Formula 1. BMW rethinking it’s motorsport activities.

Michael Shumacher the F1 legend will return to the F1 circus, once more turning a wheel in anger to help out Ferrari, whilst Felipe Massa recovers.

It’s been a busy old month. Let’s see what August brings.

Yes, summer hasn’t left the building yet.

I think I’ll be spending sometime this morning out in it. Get a vitamin D rush.

So what are you plans for today?

Wind Turbines

This post is mainly focussed on the wind turbines that resemble aircraft propellers.

This has got me thinking for sometime now. Lots of people are coming out saying that these wind turbines are a blot on the landscape and shouldn’t be built.

I suspect the same arguments were given when coal fired power stations were first built then followed by nuclear power plants.

What these people tend to forget is coal, gas and oil reserves will be gone within 30 years, so how are they going to live their day to day lives?

Sunshine isn’t in abundance in this country, so solar panels will only solve part of the problem, what we do have is plenty of wind, so why not harness it?

If so, stop doing it.

You should be acting the same way as you do offline when interacting with people on the internet.

Don’t put anything in a reply to someone that you wouldn’t say to their face.

Virgin Media win rights to air Supernatural S5

[sarcasm]Congratulations to Virgin Media on winning the rights to air Supernatural S5 and chosing to air it on “Living”[/sarcasm]

Virgin Media you do realise to get full exposure for what has been an excellent series, you don’t put it on a channel that not everyone can view.

Living isn’t available on freeview as you are probably already aware, so how the hell are the rest of us supposed to watch the latest season? Other than waiting 6 months for the part 1 boxset to become available.

It would have made sense to put it on Virgin 1 which is available on freeview.

Then again since when have broadcasting companies made a rational decision.

Epic fail on the part of Facebook

Yes tomorrow I descend upon Birmingham once more in the quest to get my mouth fixed. This should be the make or break appointment.

It’s an early morning appointment for a change. Weather permitting I shall spend a little more time chilling out after the appointment.

Stop getting hung up on job titles

As the title of this post says.

I don’t care what your job title is, it’s what you do that counts. I could make up comedy job titles if I wanted to.

It’s time to change the mindset of people. Call yourself what ever you want, as long as it doesn’t offend someone. I’m more impressed with what you can achieve, your job title is way off in the distance.

In fact job titles can cover up how much you actually do. You can give yourself a fancy job title and actually do bugger all, all day.

Message board names

WTF No Responses »
Jul 202009

When people sign up to message boards/forums why the hell do some of them chose ridiculous names like “l33t ha][or”.

These are in the league of the text speakers. Am I going to take you seriously with a ridiculousy text speaky name like that?

Or people who decide to name themselves after a part of the human anatomy so when you’re trying to browse the forum from work during your lunch break it’s blocked because of inappropriate content.

If you want to be anonymous then choose a name that is innocuous, not going to cause offence or ruin someones lunch time surfing.

It doesn’t offend me in the slightest, just extremely annoying.

I don’t want to deal with someone in a professional capacity with such a name, so please pick your names wisely or use your real name when you want to talk to me in a professional capacity.
