It was a 50/50! For ****s sake, am i the only person who has eyes? Narain Turned right, Vettel turned left, hey presto, a minor accident. It happens, get over it, and piss off.

Maybe you should visit a doctor to check your eyes?

And btw, do the last part yourself.......

One angle incriminates one, one incriminates the other... Neither side will agree. Either way it was just one of those things that happens. There was no malice and no intent. Both sides need to put it behind them and move on. Especially Vettel... I don't think he wants to find himself going down the Hamilton path of 2011.

I think I'm more amazed that this aspect of the race is still lingering and not the Alonso/Perez show. That was top drawer stuff from both guys. :)

I don't count a guy ****ing up a certain victory as top drawer. I consider it amatuerish.

Might you not count that as a lack of experience? Especially in the iffy conditions?

Yes he had an error, but not one to pan him with. He was going up against a driver that's considered one of the top inthe sport, so it was never an easy ask from him. Second was almost like a victory.
 
ooh.. now I got hungry too! Going to fry me some bacon @4 in the morning :|

Sorry, i mean this in a friendly way, but a traditional footie chant;

YOU FAT BASTARD, YOU FAT BASTARD etc.

Like i said, it's meant to be friendly, i've managed to upset enough people tonight, i don't want to add to that list.
 
hehe I wouldn't had taken offence from that but thanks for the consideration!

I can munch bacon all day without gaining anything, I guess I am lucky that way :)
 
You haven't upset me Kyle... Just didn't want the thread going too far off the beaten path and result in a mass clean up on the morrow. :)

No, i've managed to upset every liverpool and newcastle fan on this site, and a few irish people too, all because i don't now when to shut my mouth.
 
I could eat pies and drink Guinness all day and not gain an ounce. I'd still be a skinny runt. Grrrrrr! :p

I eat pies and drink guinness all day (ok, not always guinness), and i dont put on too much weight either. Maybe it's good for you? A bit like atkins, only fatter. So Fatkins?
 
I'll subscribe, but only if we can up the pie and ale count! :D

Deal. May as well anounce it now, when the mods do a cleanup tomorrow, i can hardly see posts about eating pie surviving. Right, been a pleasure to chat, i shall attempt to be sober tomorrow, to avoid threatening to kill anyone. Goodnight all.
