Michael Masser, R.I.P.

Michael Masser? Who He? (I'd not heard of him until the Beeb announced his death t'other day).

You cultural Philistine.

 

Sounds about right for City though.

That is so sad ... RIP Jules

 

Terrible news.

RIP

 

RIP Jules Bianchi - Terribly sad.

I hope they investigate and take proceedings against whoever decided it was a good idea to have the car hoist on the track - it should never have been on the track.

 

RIP Jules.

 

I will say it again then as my posts have been deleted.. RIP Jules, 25 is no age .
at least you died doing something that you loved man.

 

I didn't attack you, I merely expressed my opinion that your comment regarding your stinking, old, spud ridden socks wasn't appropriate for a RIP thread. I added a post script stating a fact (see COTM results from last season). You then inflame things further by questioning whether I have the brain power to breath unaided. Again inappropriate considering the nature of this morning's discussion. Idiot.

 

if you wanna attack me, can you do it in my PM , so you aren't cluttering up threads?

 

It has been investigated & there are already many new procedures in place. The drivers were already under yellow flags following the crash which meant the tractor removing the car should have been ok....the other car was ironically being removed for the safety of the cars still on track.....it appears Bianchi either didn't see the flags or didn't slow down enough.

Drivers now have the in car virtual safety car warning which would have prevented this tragedy, however I believe that this should be automatic rather than still being under driver control

His death is a true tragedy & an accident.....motor racing is by nature a dangerous sport.....I would say that based on the type & nature of the brain injuries, for him & his family this is probably the best result as he would never have made any form of recovery & would have been on life support in a PVS

 

This should be a thread with zero arguments. Basically nothing to argue about is there?

 

I would discuss this further, but not on this thread.

 

SOMEONE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR. There is a guy in Fargo (USA), or WAS a guy in Fargo, who apparently has my sense of humor. He had made his demands about how he wanted his obituary in the newspaper after he passed away. Well, he died this past week. And to honor his wishes, his family posted his obituary in the Fargo Forum, JUST THE WAY HE WANTED IT.

Sorry OLM missed that one completely. I follow a blog called "Inside Jay Deans Brain" and correspond with him regularly but I was late getting the July 2nd issue in which this was posted.
How embarrassment!
