    Without wanting to sound too cynical, I thought that they were all spying on each other all the time. But to the best of my knowledge, the Singapore crash conspiracy was one of a kind: inexcusable and, hopefully, never to be repeated.

    If Flab wants back in to F1, he should be forced to wear that thong to every race, kind of like the stocks only in spangly lycra.

    Then again, better not.

    The twang of an Irish accent was heard when a neighbour approached a peeping-tom; last seen near my bathroom window&#8230;


    Yellow and green should never be seen, except upon an Irish queen&#8230; ;)

    Apparently Norwich has quite a history with queens and 'nosey Parkers'!

    In 1578, Queen Elizabeth visited Norwich and worshipped in the Cathedral. A magnificent throne was prepared for her opposite the tomb of her great-grandfather, Sir William Boleyn. His tomb bears the Boleyn arms which must have been a poignant reminder to the Queen of her own parents; her mother Anne Boleyn having been executed on the orders of her father, Henry VIII.
    Archbishop Matthew Parker, of Norwich (apparently there's a plaque to him at St Clements's Church, Magdalen Street, Norwich), was Elizabeth 1's Primate of All England. His enthusiasm and attention to detail in investigating the conduct of the clergy earned him the nickname 'Nosey Parker', an expression that has since entered the English language.

    Perhaps Irishgreen's nose is not quite so out of joint when considered in such illustrious company. Besides, I'm far more tolerant than Henry VIII&#8230;

    Fixed <ok>

    Apologising is a good thing to do, but he wouldn't really have had much choice. Otherwise he'd be questioned about the incident at every occasions. Now he's got it out of the way he can try and move on in the F1 world.

    He cost Mclaren WCC in 2007 which wouldve been a great achievement for 2 new team mates in their first year in McLaren. But he didnt cost them the WDC that was McLarens fault for China and Brazil.

    ^^ you mean Hamilton and Alonso's fault, or do you, like me, suspect some machinations and foul play to stop Ferrari instigating a law suit if one of the McLaren drivers had won the WDC. Has there every been another case of a team losing all it's telemetry?
