Re blue badge....I have gone as far as requesting the forms, not filled them in yet but it is progress!

My reticence is because they say you have to be unable or virtually unable to walk, well I can walk, just not very far but still a lot further than virtually unable or unable would be able to do in my view (virtually unable to my mind means no more than one or two steps, maximum of 10 steps), so not really a pride thing...although that does come into it in a small way.

It's an autistic trait (of which I do have some, not the whole lot but some), I take wording of rules literally.

I read the terms for a blue badge, because of mother in law. It sounds to me like you do qualify. Don't take it too literally.

Prezzo Pizza or Pasta for £1 anyone? Today until Wednesday. Limited number but one per customer so it can be a genuinely cheap meal. I've got one for each of the Doozers.

I also felt sorry for Paul Di Resta who was going well until his pit crew realised they had the wrong tyres at his pit stop :huh:

It's a great season and i like Hamilton's antics as it brings more excitement to the event :beer:

I just don't get this. A multi-million pound F1 racing team, 2 cars on the track and somehow they can't figure out in a timely manner which car will pull into the pits first? :huh:

With Hamilton I'm just worried where it's all going to end. He isn't playing a computer game. ... I prefer Jenson and wish he had another mega drive like in Monaco and Canada where you could almost hear the Jaws theme tune as he hunted Vettel down.

I like Hamilton
Sure, he has made some silly mistakes recently, but I like his eagerness to race and his optimism. Jenson tends to be a bit of a whiner when things don't go his way.

Nearest to me is a 50 mile round trip, next nearest is 180 miles round trip. Chuck in £4 for parking and it soon adds up

Gen, you might want to edit that to put the "r" where it belongs in "shirts".

He's probably not had a decent one of those either, with all that fried kangaroo on the menu.

Lots of cheesemakers down my way. Lots. Lots I say. Everywhere.

Oh, interview, I immediately spotted what they want - and flagged up "that's not me", thus saving myself any ridiculous driving around.

They wanted somebody that had experience of managing 3rd party (insert specialism) agencies; preferably somebody that can bring their own contacts/relationships with them, then to change current providers and move their £40million account across to the new crowd (that the post holder would be instrumental in choosing).

pfft. Yeah, right.

I've never worked with any 3rd party agencies, in any of the various specialisms within the industry. I've always just done it myself ... and the biggest PPC budget I've managed was about £12-15,000. Once.

Anyways, radio silence off for a moment but the pain was/is a kidney infection that hasn't quite cleared yet so i'm not in a happy place.

We are thinking of you MsK - hopefully the antibiotics will work quickly.

I am also in need of some de stressing this evening

I wouldn't be surprised to see Di Resta at McLaren by the way Whitmarsh was was all over him.

Funnily enough I didn't see that bit but have thought for a while that would be a good fit.

There's something about Lewis Hamilton that reminds me of Tom Hanks in Big. He's like a kid that has never grown up and finds himself surrounded by really cool toys. The way he showed Rhianna around his car was a prime example. How he's ever landed Nicole Scherzinger, who seems way more worldly wise, is beyond me.
