Funny. I have, too. Sits right beside my OED. Both essential, in their respective ways, IMO.

Every iteration of my (annual) Business Plan has a phrase dropped into it. In the past 15+ years of producing them, not been rumbled once yet.

I am 44 years old

I too saw that Viz article on the culture show and have to admit, looks like I've missed out over the years. Brilliant stuff

Common sense prevails! I don't know why they didn't adopt the driver suggestion of having 12 points for a win and therefore a greater value differentiation.

All motorsport has changed for the worse in recent years

F1 changed the rules from 1998, and yes the racing was closer but was not as consistent and was rubbish for a while, but now better

World Superbikes changed in 2002 when the big boys left to MotoGP, and it is just about starting to get better.

MotoGP is getting very slightly boring.

BTCC was from 1988-2001 emmence (thanks to VHS and many bootleg DVDS i have come accross) but has been crap since.

BSB, was great but from 01-04 was not great, now thankfully better.

Even Porsche cup racing is not as competitive.

Thankfully ETCC / WTCC has been magnificent since about 2002.

5 12 19 29 32 38 . if we win we'll share the jackpot    might put some on jensen to win in sepang also ........(looks what the odds are for a one two BRAWN finish next race)

[DFext37 Fielding]

Not exactly, rain is expected at 5:30pm, the race starts at 5:00pm (local time) so Button is'nt to sure.

If it rains my money is on Vettel.
