Thanks a million Murph!
A great set of pics always fires up the pleasure centres (of the brain), that is!
...and Bernie, you think Murph is old?
I remember when they invented wheels :)

Alex was 5th in the last minute of A1GP in Beijing and suffered a puncture and stopped!
5th today would have put Malaysia equal second in the Series, but now slip to 5th.
Ah well, a lot of cars went out for various reasons, that's racing!

Sorry, I'd like to respond, but haven't time today.
Who to talk to? See my first answer.
Seems you're really making the case for the futility of war.
We have some visitors here, expect facty in a few minutes, will watch the A1GP parade behind a …
Q. Who do we talk to?
A. Everyone, through economic cooperation, PR, education, social and sporting contacts.
Look at what has happened with Israel refusing to recognise a party to talk to!
Look, I never hear the "convert or die message" here!

The iceberg is getting bigger, and some people are still trying to destroy it by shooting the tip off.
Strangely a new tip rises up everytime, and higher as the berg grows.

For any newbies on the board, I would like to say that I live in a prediminantly muslim country and have worked in many of the Middle East countries. I read about ten international newspapers every day plus think-tank and security reports and try t…
Quig,
Of course I would defend my family and my home!
It's a question of how best to do that.
You seem to see only the miltary options, and have been sucked into thinking that pre-emptive military strikes are the preferred approach.
Look at hist…
I condemn Al Quaeda!
I also advise Americans to ignore the claims of Al Quaeda that they are winning!
Reflect on the realities and truth of the war equation but don't over-react to the obvious!

I admit we're not privy to the real details of his role in the past. It is possible that he did try to moderate some of the CIA excesses, and understood the need for more talk and influence rather than escalation of weaponry.
It is the comments th…
The Decider has made absolutely the wrong choice in Robert Gates for SOD.
Bush seems destined to go from bad to worse?
Anything to cover his ass.
This is now a test for the Dems.

On the other hand Gates may have learned a lot since his days…
You must have spoken to the wrong people.
Sorry 'bout that!
I did have a few people contact me with no problem.
I was in the grandstand for both A1 races and spoke to a couple of Minardi fans who knew of me from the site, but were not regulars.

I'm at Eastern Creek and can be contacted at the Team Malaysia room or via the guys, e.g. Owen or John at the pit. I'm wearing a MCSF cap and my usual white goatee, so should be recognisable.
I asked around for Pistonbroke today but the name didn'…
Don't know if we can make it up to Waratah Park, and you may not be there the race weekend. I used to live at Arcadia and then Kenthurst so know the area well.
Used to ride me 'orse round the forest reserve.
Hope to see you at Eastern Creek.

Actually, I think it would have depended on whether Alonso was set to score points, thereby securing the WDC or not.
If it was not to allow Michael the WDC but only the order of a TOIT 1-2, then I don't think massa would have been asked, or needed…
The most overtaking at Interlagos
and the fastest parking at Monza!
a great record with ten blemishes

but as I've said I'm impressed with his last 2 performances so will leave it at that.

All things considered, I thought Interlagos was a great result. I agree Fernando did well and can thank MS for giving his WDCs full credibility.
MS retiring may be a greater historical event than Alonso's 2nd WDC.
The great thing is that Alonso i…

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il did not apologize for his regime's nuclear test when a special envoy from China's president visited Pyongyang last week, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday.

Fred was wrong to criticize the team recently.
