I actually got up at 7am to watch the Abu Dhabi GP live instead of watching the replay on demand later in the day to see Sebastian Vettel usurp everyone for the WDC!

I can beat that one now; got involved in a car accident; we were stopped at a four way stop just about ready to get under-way when a young black kid drove straight into the back of us travelling at 25 - 30mph while we were stationary. My wife is some neck pain, I am feeling a little stiff but the important thing is the kids are OK!

He claims to have had a brake failure, but he took no avoiding action, lack of due care and attention I would say! The sad thing is that the car is only worth $2,200 despite paying $8,000 for it about three years ago, so I suspect it might be an insurance write-off which is bad news for us as decent used cars don't come that cheap!

Now you know how Kimi felt.

I know, no laughing matter but I couldn't help myself, good to hear there was no serious injury.

i dont know whether to laugh or worry that you felt the need to mention the race of the dude that hit you :D

I remember reading something in the Daily Mail (forgive me i was younger then now) and a little box just said, a man was mugged in leicester blah blah, he was attacked by three black males, no age, nothing but race, and im sure as hell this paper didnt believe the people reading were friggin batman, and as such i came to the conclusion it was purely to incite more bigotry amongst the middle class.

And that they were male, so also sexist? Many articles describe suspects as white too.

I was at a bit of a loose end at work today so I made this:


Really like that! Wish when I was at a bit of a loose end I was half as productive.


I'm wanting to do an F1 car but I think that'll have to be in my own time after work.

Was that cast or actually carved? If it was carved, what kind of stone is it, good job!

It's carved, from a sandstone we've only started using recently but I can't remember the name of it. The spots on it are from it starting to rain just as I took the pic.

you expect articles to write: suspect was a black human, suspect was a white homo erectus. No. What possible use would mentioning the race be, as for many articles spoken about white, what do you buy the daily black power mail? Papers dont talk about white people like they do muslims or blacks, no western papers that is, thugs are always one or the other. This is beyond the poin, really, im white nicase your wondering. hardly bias.
