just a side note.. didnt the mission to the moon already sorted out the radiation and heat shield problem? You’d think a mission to the moon would be a good test. The we’re not sure how the radiation will effect chips seems a bit strange as i’m sure there has been other satellites and probes sent to mars already that are still functioning.

All a bit strange.. makes me think they never landed on the moon 🙂

But a computer is much better. Nothing on the internet but good wholesome edutainment.

and loads of pron. Probably more unsavoury than loose women and Jeremy kyle.

Whilst everyone worries about tv its all there on the internet 247 without any watershed. I wonder if anyone bothers to turn on the parent shield guard thing.

TV it self in the bedroom isnt a problem, just how much and what they watch.

bernie doesnt really care what people think..he’s just causing a stink to assert his authority. Apparently the divided and conquer mentality, unfortunately he has forgotten he has an employer who has intervened once this season already. I think its a last gasp attempt by bernie to show he has some power in the paddock.

Those shady backhand deals are long gone and the money men he dealt with before are being relived of their duties. So long bernie, you were lucky in germany to buy yourself out of jail.

i think sauber have signed ericsson and nasr ..its been a great weekend of sport. I didnt mind whoever won today and the fact there is history between hamilton and rosberg made it more personal. Rosberg was a class act and even bringing the car home was awesome. Lewis did fully deserve the wdc and took it with both hands.

I think mercedes would be potty to break up the pair as either can win the wdc next year. Great rivalry and mutual respect. Its funny how it contrast between the end of fight interview between Cleverly and bellew. Where bellew was a lot of mouth but after the fight he sounded a pretty decent winner of which I think celverely was a bit taken back by the loss and had a loss for words / respect. Roll on 2015 and only 8 days before mclaren unveil the second worse kept secret in f1!

someone who will drive for free by the sounds of it .. hes familiar with the team and the car.. i guess lotterer could have done it. At first I thought Erricson was doing a good turn by ripping up his contract and letting caterham get a pay driver for the last race. This may still be the case but I suspect he didnt want to drive for free ( not that I blame him seeing he has a seat for next year already). The cars are pretty complex nowadays so I reckon only a few could get up to speed over a race distance in 3 practice sessions. Look how Heikki faired in the lotus. The tech moves on so quickly the procedures are as important as the race craft.

well the merry go round has started with the worse kept secret now out. Alonso out vettel in!

Vettel really did force everyones hand and seemingly a large payday without having to wait for the 3 car grid confirmation.

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/12474/9570867/its-official-fernando-alonso-leaving-ferrari-to-be-replaced-by-sebastian-vettel-in-2015

Atleast ferrari did the right thing and allowed the fans to cheer on alonso for the final time in the prancing horse. Less said about Mclaren the better .. shame on them!

the tech in the house is all mine 🙂 I giuess theres a mumsnet thread about OH asking for opinions on tech

just say you’re colourblind and that ikea is a good place to shop on a weekend. That should sort it unless you like parking 5 miles from a store and like that claustrophobic lift feeling.

Feel free to add that gok wan is an idol of yours and you have opinions on womens clothing too 🙂

Amazing how long the tail backs are 9-10 pm and everyone goes slow and also when one tunnel is used ( more cost savings I guess)

much like all the utility companies that charge the customer the privilege of updating their systems and increasing profitability whilst passing on the initial cost. This would never have happened in an biscuit and crisp factory 🙂 ( or anything that had competition)

I arrived late at the party when I moved to a Mac last year. As a consumer product its almost perfect. Its fast, works well when its up and relatively efficient with the hardware. Its pricey and a pita when it goes wrong, but the time saving on booting alone over the year probably makes up for the extra hassle.

I cant see the iphone being anything more than a fashion statement as the android phones are just as usable. Its just an app and battery life war. Im more than happy with my one plus.

wheres alfonso going? I think kmag for test reserve driver with jb and alonso.. Both santander friendly 🙂

ben nevis to climb now 🙂 looks like early baths now

cant believe mclaren will delay driver line up until december .. looks like they are looking for changes in the grid before making their mind up.. there arent many movers and shakers so expect them to field a young line up with bunsen as a backup. If I was JB I’d tell ronny to f* off and sign up with mercedes / red bull or ferrari when they field the 3rd car.

I also saw they have a vacancy for a test / reserver driver. I wonder if that is for k mag?

i’ve been looking forward to this today.. its better together ..now if wellbeck can only score and that will it an arsenal win for sure

since when has townsend been scottish?? he’s weeing all over the place.

Nice goal by Rooney! should have gone to specsavers 🙂

french cars are rubbish.. i raise you a renault megane bulb change

Off to make some tea 🙂

dont forget monisha kaltenron at sauber.. peter sauber was confident of her abilities to run the team and gave her a stake.

congratulations.. go shopping now ..look after the family.. its a whirlwind when they come.. Dont worry when asking for help and accept it when given. Our magic number was 10 weeks after which it became a bit more of a routine ( sleep, feeding and addressing wind etc).

Lastly try to embrace every moment as it does pass quickly ( every the crappy nappy ones) 🙂

its those pesky kids I tell ya.. and also all hell will break loose when they give them all the flu nasal spray..
God help those who dont have it .

Snot and sniffles around here ..nothing like doing a 10 week cardio plan and korean ginseng to keep it at bay for now 🙂 Hopefully the lurgy will be gone in 8 weeks time

I do hope Jules Bianchi’s care is taken into account when they folded. The idea of folding to remove the creditors liabilities is possible and then selling the assets for a nominal fee to re enter next year.

It could be the case marussia dont have engines for next year in the absence of bianchi driving for them so the short fall is huge in the budget for next year ( also no money from marussia). Either way its sad to see the privateer teams go when they give young drivers a leg up into f1. It does smell a tad fishy when Bernie already proclaimed the teams are dropping out before the end of the year and 3 cars could be a reality a few months ago.

looks like a a bit of a tan.. maybe a more scraping but nothing chocolate spread or peanut butter and jam wouldnt solve 🙂

I wonder if its Bernies wish to take f1 to the grave with him to prove a point.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/29954250
I dont normally take too much notice of EJ but he does touch on a few points regarding the increased costs due to the new hybrid engines which Bernie was so vehemently against. No wonder he wants it to fail. Aside from that he needs to get some more cash to recoup the cost of paying off the German government.

CVC better get their act together before Bernie destroys f1 and scares off any investors out there. ( quote from bernie, ” its my fault and I dont know what to do”) .

never have I seen a council act so fast.. there is graffiti everywhere but you dont see them making a be line to tidy it up. Pot holes, over grown hedges, cracked pavements, burst water mains, over flowing bins, dog poop every where. Maybe its the ghetto I live in but there are some really good pieces of art where I cycle too!

appointment at specsavers?

I always wanted to know if its as difficult as all the women make it out to be? Honestly is it really a full time job with a long lunch break and loose women on the box?

I’d like to switch roles as I can see it much more rewarding .. if equality is what feminism is all about I’m all for it. BTW I must ask do you have a moustache?

i only know that the the bond is different between the kids and the mother and then to their father. The things I do create a different relationship and it can drive you round the bend trying to replicate or force it.

I find the kids will generally take and lean on you as an when..just be there when it happens 🙂

infacol was awesome…worked well enough for 4 hour sleeps. Keep at it as it does get easier.. soon you’ll realise you never needed sleep anyway. And lie ins are for wimps 😉

honey badger for me because they dont care and are badd ass.. +1 for britters

It would seem bernie is as much or a liability as he is a dinosaur. Those shady deals dont cut it anymore and clearly those deals are being brought into the light.

To save F1 they should sack Bernie and use his salary to bolster the back field. Clearly F1 is just mirroring the premiership haves and have nots as well as the ppv tv rights model. And look how the gap between the top and bottom has grown. The problem is f1 doesnt have promotion / demotion parachute payments.

i like to think of it as prevention is better than cure .. where the medicine is more like an additive to redress the cause and a bit of the issue. After all It must be good if it tastes this bad 🙂

Everyone is different so what ever works for you. Oh and I’m of the more heaty side and everyone could do with bowls of soup every now and then.

not sure if any one has mentioned this before but once they switch of any of the subscriptions the content on the box is inaccessible. eg no hd stops local hd recordings and if you stop the sky subscription all the recorded content becomes inaccessibe.

+1 for the humax hdr boxes

depending on the drive most manufacturers do a version of acronis disk image but there is clone zilla which you can burn on a cd. I’d clone to usb and bung it into the machine when you’re done

all done for the evening.. pumpkin having a rest until next year.. looking forward to celebrating thanksgiving sometime in the future.. Agree with the OTT commercialism and encroaching crappy americanisms.

shame you cant buy those tasty delights as easily as the heavily marketed seasonal sweets on sale at the moment. I’d quite like the idea of trick sweets for the punters tonight.

Whilst I dont like the commercialism and the concept, it does get the kids out and about.

its always good to teach the kids how to make demands with menaces under a thinly veiled guise of tradition.

You can get wasabi peas 🙂

the surface 2 pro will run win 8.1 but is smaller 10 inch screen. I believe the surface 3 goes 12inch.

Both have intel i5 with cpus so pretty handy horsepower. You can hack the chrome books to run ubuntu if you were that way inclined. It depends on your bugdet.

do I look fat in this?
Is my arse big?

Do you fancy my sister???

the administrator finbarr looks totally incompetent … the whole debacle of shutting the factory down and now claiming he wants to go racing as he has realised a load of cars locked in a warehouse are worthless.
I like the interview where he ” reaches out” to sort it out an agreement with the closing comment of “call me”!

Where do they dig out these people from? Its a real shame for the staff who seem to be the pawns in this as they are shuffled from one company to another. Good luck Caterham, it was fun whilst it lasted especially brazil 2012. I hope marussia make it on the grid 2015.
