  1. Looks like Kodjia isn't yet quick enough to avoid the line painters at Bodymoor.
  2. No chance having a word with him when he's in a better mood?
  3. Can't you ask for your employer for that work to correct their mistake?

    Doctor Who

    Jodie Whittaker it is then.
  5. The BBC reported that Hamilton defended his decision not to attend the London event and then played a recording of Hamilton saying something like "You have be be strong and stand by your decision". There was no mention of why he didn't attend so I don't how he defended his decision in any way.

    Coincidently your post mentioned his ages. JT claims he's only 60 but he's actually 63. Don't concern yourself over the discrepancy, my stepmother has done it for years.

    If I had a penny for every time this has been asked on VT I'd be at least 20 pence richer.
  8. Acorns was my previous fave. As much as I dislike what gambling can lead to, I accept the need to take advantage of gambling companies. As for how it looks, I tend to look past the sponsor's logo on our shirts. It's like looking at a really nice car. I don't focus on the tyres, wipers or number plates. They are what they are, not attractive but necessary.
  9. Even Piers isn't stupid enough to allow me to keep slamming a door in his face.
  10. That's not much help - it's so close to the longest day of the year and starts getting light just after 4am!
  11. I once opened a door into his face.
  12. My now 19 and 17 year old kids went to over a hundred kids parties and missed a few as well. I never noticed any stigma over the parties they missed. If there was a small amount I'd have taught my kids not to take any notice. The next party was never more than a couple of weeks away. Kids parties end up being a pain. Even the kids get bored of them after a few years.
  13. I went to like your post until I read the last line. I don't favour retracting punishments. On the very few occasions I thought I had over-punished my two kids, I was always mindful about reducing it against showing inconsistencies. If you really think you've gone over the top, at least see it through past the first party. Then if your daughter doesn't appear to be bothered, see it through to all three partie. If she's upset you can talk it through, reminding her why you considered her behaviour unacceptable, then offer an 'olive branch' for the next two parties.
  14. Doesn't make sense to me. Were the original penalties issued without examining the causes of the incident? It's as if FIA have taken 3 days to say "Oh, we didn't realise it was done on purpose!"
  15. I wasn't saying you were influenced and I agree that the penalties do seem lenient, but I am accepting of the decision made at the time which is why I asked what you meant when you wrote 'I hope we haven't heard the end of it'. When an offence is so clearly visible with no further evidence needed and, after consideration, penalties have been issued, I don't think it is correct to add or change the decision, without new evidence of an increased violation.
  16. I was surprised by the apparent leniency at the time but I'm not a fan of making decisions based on the reactions of media/social media. It reminds me of Neil Taylor's tackle on Coleman. It deserved the red card and subsequent ban but, after a couple of days of media and social media coverage, apparently Taylor shouldn't ever play football again or should have his own leg broken. I'm surprised if the FIA haven't got set guidelines for rule/conduct infractions. Perhaps they will simply issue a reminder of their rules in relation to similar violations.
  17. It is now two days after SV was given the two penalties that were presumably thought over. What do you think should be done now?
  18. Time to stop failing and make this occasion the attempt that succeeds forever. FFS just do it. We are all wishing you the best.
  19. Kids realise things quicker than adults realise and if they don't, another kid will tell them from truth or rumour. As Stefan wrote, I'd hate for my kids to have thought of me as a 'deadbeat' or loser. Ruge's challenge will be to stop the abuse before his kids realise and he has another excuse not to stop - that his kids already know. That then risks his kids being more likely to go down the same abusive path.
  20. As Cleveland would say... "That's nasty".
