Great race yesterday! Would have loved for Button to win, but an amazing second place from him anyway. Vettel is unassailable at the moment and well deserves the spotlight. He's fast becoming one of the sports legends.

I want to see more of Kubica :\
Hopefully he will return soon...

All major 'British' sportspeople are assholes, except for Hamilton. Button, Murray, all footballers...

Yea, I'm also waiting for Kubica's return. I'm amazed he's still alive though.

Ferrari fan since 15 years here

Yeh, Vettel is unstoppable at the moment. But i dare say that half of his success is down to the car alone. Its just too fast in the corners. However, he is a skilled and consistent driver who makes the least mistakes among all the drivers there i think. Just cannot wait to see what happens if McLaren outs an equally fast car next season. That will be truly epic to see Hamilton and Vettel battling it out. And i really think its time Ferrari, Mercedes and Williams should put everything they have got and develop a fast car as well. Well,lets just see whats in store next season...The gap will definitely be much closer than this season,but ive got a sneaky feeling Hamilton might win the championship(provided he doesnt make the mistakes he sometimes do). Would also love to see Schumacher and Rubens back to their primes again. As for now, im hoping Alonso and Hamilton fill the other two overall spot.

You can't give all the credit for Vettels success to Red Bulls speed advantage over the other teams. He is consistently faster than his own team mate who has the same car; usually by half a second or so in qualifying. He just has that little something extra that turns a good driver into a great one.
This was the era when i first got into F1. 1985, Ayrton Senna driving the JPS Lotus Turbo:

yeh, of course not all the credit is due to the car. He has got that extra talent of shaving milliseconds of a lap during qualifying and he makes no mistakes. But i wouldnt consider him a legend yet. Not because of his driving,but because there hasnt been many scenarios to see if he has that extra touch of Schumacher,Senna and the other greats. Stuff like god like skill when it rains, ferocious defending and overtaking,etc. Which is why you need his rivals to close the gap further so that a real and tight battle ensues. Vettel has not been exposed to such situations yet. Thats why i hope McLaren,Ferrari and Mercedes out faster cars. Only then, we can tell who's the better driver and of course, the ultimate driving god to succeed Schumacher.

Massive F1 fan. I haven't missed a race since the 90's. Has been a good season to watch, but it's still boring having Vettel run away in the lead so often.

F1, Grandam and GT fan here gotta love the sounds those engines make at 10-15k rpm

Hi
Great to see a Formula 1 thread here. I've been a fan since I was about 8 years old. That means I've seen quite a few races, even though at that time Danish TV only showed the Monaco GP. That has changed for the better - thank God. Been to Spa too, btw. That's an awesome track!
Anyway I agree with the Scotsman, that this season has been great but I'd like to see someone else leading races. Too boring to just see Vettel there.
Oh.. I'm a huge fan of McLaren.
Have a great Sunday, even without a race on.

RBR were strong here last year, although Alonso won. My money is on Vettel to win it, with perhaps Button and Alonso fighting it out for 2nd/3rd.

Yeh...but maybe that comes with age haha...but you cant really blame him.he is not completely at home in RBR,and truth be told, Vettel is considered number one.They even issue team orders for gods sake...But RBR deserves the success so far.They really work hard to get the best out of the car and Vettel is talented.But im always a true and loyal supporter of Hamilton. He is making a number of mistakes now. But i hope that will clear and he will win in Singapore to wreck Vettel's party. Ill be there officiating the event as well...keeping my fingers crossed...

yeh...ferrari has a competitive car but not a fast one.Like what Hamilton said, Alonso is still the driver to beat always. The reason why he has not been dominating is because of the mistakes he made and more importantly, because of the car. Same goes for Hamilton,Button and Massa. If they minimize their mistakes and get to drive a faster car, it will be pure racing on the tarmac.
---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
yes it is,but it is almost made up by all the action right behind. The championship is all but his this year,unless, he miraculously acquires the knowledge of a 5 year old in the middle of all the upcoming races and crashes out...but that aint gonna happen,so i bet next year is the season to be looking out for

Bet its a wet race this Sunday as its been raining here for these few days. This will be interesting

Well I wanna talk about the stupidity of American "football".
You see, most of the time, American "football" is being thrown and then held with the hand, and only perhaps 3% of the time it is being kicked.
On top of that the "ball" is not round. Ask any child to draw a ball and the poor child will be hard pressed (or an American idiot) to draw something that resembles that egg.
Thirdly, there is that issue of machismo that the Americans like to push. Yeah, you run around bashing people in a full contact sport. Ever heard of rugby? Those guys only wear groin protectors and tooth protectors. Not a padding more.
Suck it, American "Football"!
/This does not, in any way, bash Americans, only their version of football

The game of football is any of several similar team sports, of similar origins which involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot in an attempt to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer". Unqualified, the word football applies to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears, including American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby league, rugby union and other related games. These variations are known as "codes."

Hopefully this wont get deleted...
My Rant to start:
I hate when driving behind someone and they want to make a right hand or left hand turn and turn from the driving lane when there is a perfectly good turn lane.
Dear Apple:
Why you have underhanded techniques to try and muscle out the competition?!
Why can't you just....I don't know....NOT SUCK!?
I think I've lost the little respect for apple that could possibly exist inside the deepest depths of my heart.
But of course the masses of the world will be like "IOS is so revolutionary!" They've just caught up with everyone else!
They still blow.

First off, I think you mean "Jam" or "Fruit Preserve"....
This is jelly...........
And as for keeping it in the fridge..... well thats just wrong. Its almost as bad as keeping tomato sauce in the fridge....
Secondly, and more importantly......
DO NOT start a rant thread if your "rant" is only one line long
Thats not a rant............
Thats nothing but a minor gripe........
If your gonna rant, RANT. Dont just throw out a tiddly little one liner and expect people to feel sorry for you. You need to make them feel your pain!
Your need to spew absolute bile and vitriol at whatever it is thats grinding your gears.
I dont expect to come in here and see a threads called "Rants Thread" only to open it up and find you crying into your soup because someone cut across you on your way home from work....
I want to experience a level of anger not seen since that video of the angry german kid smashing his keyboard to bits! I want to believe your so absolutely livid with rage that you would punch your own mother full force in the face if she popped her head around the door to offer you a cup of tea!
There should be pictures of you stood on the roof of your house with a megaphone in one hand and a bottle of whisky in the other screaming blue murder at the cops below.
There should be ridiculous amounts of the most vile and offensive profanity imaginable, language of such a filthy and depraved nature that it would make a sailor blush.(but not on XDA
It beggars belief that this is what passes for a rant these days. In my day rants would go on for days..........
Thats the problem with "da yoof" of today, theres no passion. Nothing gets your blood pumping except Justin Bieber and the new limited edition flavour of Doritos.
Back in my day rants would go on for days. You could walk into any pub and find an old man in the corner jabbering on for hours putting the world to rights. You come back 2 hours later and he's still be going. Come back in another 2 hours and he'd be starting all over again from the beginning.
And thats another thing, whats up with pubs these days?
They dont even smell like pubs anymore, I remember when you walk past a pub at any hour of the day and smell nothing but stale beer and cheese and onion crisps. (Thats right crisps not "chips", chips is the correct name for "fries" ). Pubs nowadays smell like the perfume counter at an overpriced department store....They dont even sell pickled eggs
They're just filled with overgroomed morons with stupid hairdos wearing T-shirts sporting the name of a Japanese city they've probably never heard of and a random number! Pffft most places dont even serve a decent pint. Its all watered down continental lagers that think they're better than a real pint because they're made with some obscure type of hops and barley cmobination. They dont even let you re-use your glass after your finished your drink because the health and safety types might wet they're pants if they see someone using the same glass for two drinks in a row. Its H&S gone mad thats what it is!!
Like those kids that werent even allowed to play conkers at school without safety goggles, they probably had to walk through some bleak inner city craphole full of junkies and degenerates all by themselves to get to school in the first place because they're lazy benefit cheating parents couldnt be bothered to get off they're lazy ass and take them, but OHHH NOOOOO, heaven forbid they should play conkers and maybe get hit in the face by a tiny little fragment of some overgrown seed......
Not that kids these days can even get hold of a decent conker these days, back in the day you could find them everywhere, big as a cats head.
Like that cat from next door, always coming across into my garden and crapping all over my prize begonias. I oughta set up a snipers nest in my loft and wait for it to come creeping in one night then.... BOOOOM..... headshot!!
Of course, I'd be in the wrong.....
"It was just a defenceless kitty " they'd cry......
Bah, It was trespassing on my property and I was defending myself. Whats the world coming too when a man cant even defend his own home from being attacked by his neighbours rogue feline??
This countrys gone to the dogs I tell you..............
Anyway, I dont have time for this I need to go and teach that bloody cat a lesson..........

Getting paid to live in Alaska...

Ok, so I need some opinions here...We had a discussion at work today where someone said that they pay you TO live in Alaska but someone else said they pay you BECAUSE you live there...And then the first person said that there's no difference in "Because" and "To"...
So, I will give you some info from Wikipedia and you let me know which one yall think is correct...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska
"Starting in 1982, dividends from the fund's annual growth have been paid out each year to eligible Alaskans, ranging from an initial $1,000.00 in 1982 (equal to three years' payout, as the distribution of payments was held up in a lawsuit over the distribution scheme) to $3,269.00 in 2008 (which included a one-time $1,200.00 "Resource Rebate"). Every year, the state legislature takes out 8 percent from the earnings, puts 3 percent back into the principal for inflation proofing, and the remaining 5 percent is distributed to all qualifying Alaskans. To qualify for the Permanent Fund Dividend, one must have lived in the state for a minimum of 12 months, maintain constant residency subject to allowable absences, and not be subject to court judgments or criminal convictions which fall under various disqualifying classifications or may subject the payment amount to civil garnishment."
'Because' is correct, if you qualify of course. 'To' suggests paying people to move there, in which case under the rules they wouldn't qualify anyway having not been a resident.
I want to live in Alaska. It is the most most beautiful corner of the world. Anybody remember the series 'Northern Exposure'?. Best setting for a TV show ever.
The problem with this idea is that you aren't the first one to have it. There are a ****ton of government leaches living in alaska. It also has the highest percentage of rapes and pedophilia per capita of any other state.

Trust me, i wouldn't be moving there for the 'qualities' of it's indiginous population. I'm long past the point where i can be surprised, or even care, about what the other inhabitants of this once beautiful planet think or do.
isn't it also the meth capital of the world?
best reason to live there, you have a chance with bristol palin
Don't forget the Spiders! I have a friend who lives there and she told me about the huge spiders that live everywhere...including in your bed. EAK! But it would be great to live in such a beautiful place.
Id love to love there, it's do beautiful. But everything that's going on,...... Sucks....

Soooo....if you "love to love there" would you "live to live there" also?
And...of you love to love there...wouldn't that make you the most redundant person that ever lived?
And lastly.....if is "do beautiful" does that mean that you bit your tongue while saying that?

I love Alaska, I have been there many times. But I currently live in Washington state, where Northern Exposure was filmed.
And the Permanent Resident Dividend Fund is just for the people that live there, as previously stated. The best part of Alaska (besides the fishing and hunting) is how backwards the whole state still is. They have open carry laws (meaning no permits needed to carry a firearm) and it is still common for people in the winter to leave their vehicles running while they grocery shop. Nobody steals them.

Where should i build my log cabin? (Think 'Grizzly Adams' if you're old enough). It has to be near a fresh water river or lake and far enough into the wilderness so that i never have to encounter another person for the rest of my days.
No internet, no phone, just a knife, gun and a blissful hunter/gatherer life.

You want to see some SERIOUS spiders, you should be around those freakin Camel Spiders in Iraq. GAWD! Ya, I know everyone's seen the pics of them on the interwebs. But when I was there they scared the hell out of me, cuz they are really, really freakin fast. Walking a post at night, you would see a good sized shadow "flying" across the ground. Saw one once, run up another Marine's leg, and before he even knew it was on him, it was in between his shoulder blades, whoa!

I love the summer, hate the winter when it's dark and cold. Like the OP, i have two personalities, the spring/summer/fall personality and the winter personality. I get more antisocial and closed in in the winter.
I love to be around people and talk, talk and talk. I'm a stubborn **** who wouldn't give up unless the world was on fire. You're going down! I'm also pretty lazy, but at the same time very energetic. I tend to get what i want, and it's always been this way. I'm a spoiled ****, and i know it. I'm not violent, but i can and do black out if you hit the right spot and i beat people up if they deserve it, but i've also been beaten up several times, and i deserved it. I'm intelligent and an "ideaman" who finds solutions to problems, i'm not good at math but i had a tendency to find other, simpler ways to solve math formulas in school (and got the solution named after myself at that school), i love science and everything creative. I love movies that's smart and forces me to think, but i also love incredible cheesy and stupid movies too (The Room). My interests range from phones, architecture, science, engineering, design, cars, planes to the stock market - and everything between.
Overall i'm an incredible calm and social guy who enjoys life and doesn't take everything that serious.
Other stuff:
- Favorite alcoholic beverage: Beer (Heineken, Carlsberg, Budweiser, Guinness and Amstel)
- Favorite music genre: Electronic, dubstep, rock, psychadelic/rock, hip hop and 60s/70s/80s
- Favorite food: Taco, pizza, hamburger, greek salad, and everything "meaty".
- Favorite weather: Well duh, sunny weather 20 - 25 degrees (celcius)
- Favorite soda: Sprite
Well, there you go. An analysis of a future super villain. Join me or die.
I'm kinda like this guy:
mixed with a little bit of:

I must kindly ask you to return the mildly kinky photographs of me milking that cow now. You're a liar, and you should get punished.
I'm a bit of a girly, tom boyish.... geek.

That may be 100% true
Edit: After reading about it, YES i totally got that.
I think I'm quite calm in general, a car lover and open source enthusiast (Gentoo <3). I love to run (Endomondo <3) and I enjoy a GOOD movie from time to time. I don't prefer the typical Holywood blockbuster but a real movie with decent storytelling and developing characters. I love taking long walks with my girlfriend. We're both interested in other cultures so we enjoy traveling and meeting the local people and habits.
My favorite music would be electronic but that's still a wide genre. If I had to select one it would be trance, though I enjoy Rammstein too. Summer definitely is more fun than winter even though I love snowboarding too. I cannot name any favorite alcoholic drink (though I'm from Belgium, the land of the beer) as I live a straight edge lifestyle... My favorite food is certainly Italian or Asian.
I'm quite in touch with my feminin side too: I love shopping, I love welness (sauna, jacuzzi,...) and I love cooking.
What surprises me is that most people who spend a lot of time behind their computer (professionally or private), tend to be really social and interested in lots of things besides computers. I'm happy to see that so the world finally loses the idea of the antisocial nerd who lives in his parents basement.
I love Lamp!

Post about Doctor Who stuff here
Yay! We seriously needed a Whovian thread :good:
Isn't the rest of season 7 set for around Easter? Merlin was supposed to be the gap filler for Doctor Who, and that's ended, so... Wonder if there's anything known yet (proooobably not. Usually about 2 weeks beforehand..)
I still think David Tennant was way better than Matt Smith, by the way. Since we all know we're going to have this discussion anyway I figured I might as well start off early.
Also, I think the newest Christmas Special was Moffat's not-so-silent protest against Peter Jackson for stealing his two main actors from his other show. Still, haven't laughed that hard in weeks... :laugh:
Not been interested since Matt Smith took over.
Every episode I catch to give it another chance seems to just have him frantically waving his sonic screwdriver around like a magic wand.
I remember when it used to only be used for unlocking doors, and only those that weren't locked with the power of script.
As for the last appearance of The Master, WTF? Sniveling whiny prat. Even Eric Roberts did a better job.
They should have cast Timothy Dalton as The Master instead.

I completely agree about David Tennant. And the Christmas Special was cool, it's got me looking forward to the rest of the series
I made my phone into a mini-TARDIS and I want to make a theme for Apex/etc for it some time, when I feel less lazy and think up some ideas.
I'm putting together an 11 costume for a convention because I'm cheap, didn't want to sew, and have a friend who agreed to dress up as Amy.
I'm bargaining with my friend to make me a 4 scarf because I believe you can't just buy them, they need to be made with love.

If it was made in the US there would be 90% less plot, 80% more romance, 30% more sex, 200% more unoriginal clichés, all characters would be as flat as a penny and the plot would have more holes than a Swiss cheese. Also, it would probably star Tom Cruise as the Doctor.

lol the only problem with that logic is the fact that apart from a few shows like Doctor Who (and anime) the rest of the world doesn't make good movies or TV shows.
O, Doctor Who has plenty of things people complain about and I've seen quite a few good American TV shows. I actually grew up with Star Trek, not Doctor Who - although Tom Baker was one of the reasons I finally agreed to try Doctor Who.
Doctor Who changes things all the time, it just has the benefit of the spirit of work like Douglas Adams (who was in fact involved for a bit) - of being able to make ridiculous changes and get a pass because it's science fantasy. Lots of the hard science fans complain about lack of hard science, although I think that's like complaining that they don't kill enough people in Disney movies.
Blink was one of my favourite New Who episodes, and I really hated what they did in the later two-parter with 11. They would have been pretty good episodes on their own, but they really ruined the Angels for me, it made them so much less terrifying - which wouldn't have happened if they had just stuck to their original conception and "rules".
Doctor Who is lucky because it's format is like Star Trek - it has the benefit of being able to do an episodic or serial format without having to worry quite so much about over-arching plot because you can easily take time out and have a "Holodeck episode" or go to another planet or whatever and focus on a unique story that will be gone within the next 24-42 minutes.
I'm actually watching an American show right now, it's struggling a bit now that they've switched from that sort of episodic format to more of a focus on the "background" plot, but they're still standing. LOST did a good job with what it had to work with, too.
IN OTHER NEWS MY SONIC SCREWDRIVER ARRIVED THAT A FRIEND GOT ME FOR CHRISTMAS.
So, not to be rude, but let's keep this thread about Who appreciation or good-natured critique of it - not liking Who at the expense of whole other countries (and I'm saying that as someone who bought a DVD box set of Jeeves and Wooster).
SO ANYWAY.
Favourite Doctor ? Favourite Companion ?
I'd say 4 is my favourite doctor, and all the Rs - River, Rose, and Romana for companions. And I guess Rory, too for the hell of it.

Well, my fav's definitely 10, and River is absolutely hilarious. Amy was great, too. (Rose bored me.)
Blink is still one of the greatest episodes of the new series. It's what eventually led to Moffat taking over from RTD as showrunner. (Which nobody minded. That whole Timelord-victorious crap was starting to get more than a little boring.)

Well, I never said the rest of the world did. Fact is they generally don't.
But the last 10 years or some the BBC makes shows with a lot more original content and plots than Hollywood does.. Think
Top Gear,
Sherlock (Don't get me started on Elementary.),
Merlin,
Robin Hood,
Torchwood (okay, that's a Dr Who spinoff.)
Parade's End (That was hilarious...),
The Office (US is a remake.),
Being Human (Again, US is a remake.),
Strike Back (US took over after S1),
Inspector Lynley Mysteries,
Life on Mars (Lol if you watched Dr Who s3's ending)..
List goes on...
Yes, the US has plenty of great shows (i'm only counting since about 2000.), but most are all either A) Character Dramas, or B) Purely Action. It's very, very rare to find a balanced show with great characters, great actors, excellently thought out plots, original ideas, good visualisation and humour. And when they do finally get one, they cancel it because it's not "What the audience needs." (*cough*, Firefly....)
And no, Game of Thrones is not a good argument, don't bother.
Leela has to be my favourite companion
Sally Sparrow would have made a great companion too.
