Porn of some description, I imagine...

Looking forward to watching Murray in the 4th round of Wimbledon later today. Hopefully he'll be able to beat Gasquet, but even if he does he'll likely be facing Nadal in the quarters, which is a daunting prospect for any player.

I'd love to get tickets for Wimbledon one year, that would be awesome.

What is all this UFO lark? Have you seen it? It's all over the papers.

Anybody see the Murray vs Gasquet match? Nearly 4 hours of superb tennis drama. I have to admit that I thought Murray was out of it when he dropped the first 2 sets, but what an amazing comeback. Massive props to him... it'll be interesting to see how he does against Nadal. I wouldn't write him off just yet...

*sigh*

UPDATE: The jobs are easy, the pay is good, I'm not answering phones, my boss is sympathetic and understanding, and my colleagues awesome (and all under 23).

Gooday Mate! I was just wondering, what the bloody heck is Rugger?

I think my favourite of the three was Clarkson's Boadicea wheels... he truly is a madman. I'm glad the new series is out now, though - it got a bit tiresome watching endless reruns on UKTV Dave.

I've got to watch last weekend's yet. That should be a laugh :)

Just like Clarkson with the powerboat for the morning commute then :P

So where did we finish then?

Completely forgot about it in favour of Guitar Hero. Glad to see him win and nearly do a 'Derek Jeter' - in baseball's World Series, eh dived headlong into the crowd to catch a foulball, cut open hi eyebrow on a seat and still caught the ball and carried on playing afterwards, to get the winning hit.

Not quite as fun as last weekends, but good fun nevertheless.

Ha! Yeah, that was a great moment. Definitely one of the best matches I've seen in this year's Wimbledon so far. In complete contrast with Nadal's straight set victory earlier the same day, though...

it is the sport that we kicked your kiwi arses at ;)

I'm on the references at the moment. Problem is I've never had a job before ( stupid I know but I've never had the need nor the desire to have one before now) so don't really have anyone I can call on. I'm gonna pop into my old 6th form and see if I can grab a chat with my old head of 6th form and see if he'll give me a reference. Just wish my tutors at uni were actually affective and learnt students names and such. Then I'd have a second one =/

I'm in a simalar position, Im looking for a full time job atm, I havent been to University (I had the brains but depression sort of sapped me of my motivation throughout my teenage years) and im looking at my crappy qualifiations and thinking "is that it?" I don't want to end up some loanly old man with a crappy job and no friends, but sometimes it feels that im headed that way.

I hate job hunting . I really do.

So what's stopping you from going to University now? You profile says you're only 22, so it's not like it's too late or anything. The longer you leave it for, though, the harder it will be to take the plunge and go to uni. If you want more from your life, then do something about it, dude, especially if you have the brains.

HOLY HELL!

Is any of you chaps watching the formula one?

what a start!!!!

also, in other news, what do you all think about the F1 moving to donnigton??? i am absolutley exstatic about it as it means i only live about 20mins from the circuit :D

Donny is a bloody good move for F1 i say!

:D the old hairpin is going to make for some very very intersting viewing, its such a hard corner to drive

also, the track layout is being changed, but everything from redgate to the old hairpin is remaining the same :), theyre adding a 220mph straight though :D

sorry for the double post but....

HAMILTON WINS THE BRITTISH GRAND PRIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a race :D

Ballsy and that is why Lewis is such a good driver. He has the tools and the ability to drive well in the wet and in the dry. Put him back in the Lacetti on Top Gear and watch him destroy the Stig's lap record!

Meh. I would have preferred Brands. I don't live near any of the three, but I think that if it's got to move, the circuit needs some work.

Forgive the ignorance, but is that what it does look like, or what it will look like?

After a rather long and protacted scenario one has moved into a new house with one of ym mates, though we are currently sharing with someone else, who got rather stressed out over the Tennis when Nadal kept on missing his oppurtunities, until September when he move sout and our mate mvoes in.

I also now live 5 minutes away from two pubs, 2 chippies, a pizza place, about 4 balti's, a chinese, and a gym. Heaven <3

Well chaps, it's one year today since I passed my driving test! One whole accident free year! I also have the best pass date ever (07/07/07 and 3rd time lucky :P). Also, Hamilton had better win this time. He needs to be careful though as it's now a 4 horse race for the championship (him 48 points, Kimi 48 points, Massa 48 points and Kubica with 46).

LOL. Will the gym be able to compensate for all the curry, chinese and fast food places nearby? I've been trying to get back into shape for rugby season lately -- it's proving to be quite fun actually. I found that playing Tennis is good exercise actually.

Kinda sad that Wimbledon is over. I'd get out there and play some tennis myself, but today it's raining, so it's not exactly prime Tennis weather.

Congrats... I passed mine on the 6th of January 2006, so it's 2 and a half years for me now... I went 2 years without an accident, then had a silly one whilst following a friend somewhere one night. Won't go into details, but we were both kinda at fault -- although I got most of the damage.

Is the gym on your way back from these places, or on the way there? You're going to need it a lot :P

its having a huge re-vamp:
- new layout
- state of the art pits
- new grandstands

basically the works :)

Right chaps, I'm in Spain for 10 days from tomorrow so I won't be on at all until the 19th. If you do see me online then it'll be Andrea364 depositing (stat whoring) for me :P

Tally ho!

Pre, or post-revamp? I don't understand if the works have been done yet. I thought that they were due to be done in the next 2 years, before the British GP 2010, which will be Donnington's first, yes?

its PRE revamp, no work has been started yet :)

and NO! ;O the brittish GP used to be at donnington :)

You know, i'm finding F1 more than a little dull to be honest. its a pity there are no banger races in my area, it would be a hell of a lot more fun to watch people who don't really care about the state of their cars when they are racing them, and with a small investment you could join in too!

Job interview tomorrow, wish me luck chaps!

When, exactly? According to my sources, the British GP has been held at 4 Venues to date. Donnington would be the 5th from 2010.

You're talking more destruction derby style, than say, NASCAR, aren't you?

Good luck, what would you be doing if you're hired?

im sure i read in an article that its been at donnington before.... *checks* YES! i was right haha, i was sure of it

"1993 European Grand Prix

Donington Park was the host of the 1993 European Grand Prix on 11 April 1993, which was affected by rain. The race was notable for the dominance of Ayrton Senna where he won the race by over 1 minute from Damon Hill, having advanced from fifth to first in less than two-thirds of the opening lap.

This race was described by AtlasF1 as the 'Drive of the Decade' [4]. There is a memorial to Senna in the grounds of the racetrack, outside a shop selling motorsports memorabilia."

Err, sort of. Usually in banger racing, you race round a track but contact is alowed%2

Err, sort of. Usually in banger racing, you race round a track but contact is alowed <s.p?> and loosing by destruction of your car is a distinct possibility. though quite often they have a distruction derby at the end for every car that wants to join in (a good banger might last 2 or 3 races)

Job interview tomorrow, wish me luck chaps!

Conductors job on my local railway, the pay is really good actually, over 15000 for the training and over 18000 once you're trained.

Ah, that's a completely different race :P
European GP's in Valencia this year anyway, that looks to be pretty cool, although I won't be near a TV to watch it.

Good day old chum's!

Long time no talk I reckon.. How is thee?

Coop? Have YouThere, 'the Butler' fetch me some tea (:
