You know that was a joke, right?... I don't have enough space for that; and also have two kids who would constantly be in it! I do have a 40in HDTV though!

Cool, I don't feel so bad about having some sort of scaffold and a dismantled swivel chair on a beanbag for gaming with a wheel now.

Whatever works for you; I just wish I had some room for scaffolding and office chair to have a more authentic experience of gaming, a control pad is not an intuitive driving experience!

A classic line from Something About Mary. "I love retards"

That movie is a classic.

Anyway I usually put my feet up on the table and munch on something while the race is on, but for some reason at the start they have to be on the floor and I have to be leaned forward on the couch and not sitting back, with my hands rested on my knees. For some reason, I feel this could help Lewis get a better start. It didn't work in Spain though.

Even though I watch the GP's on a pretty big screen, I can't sit back and watch it from the comforts of my couch. No, I almost have to sit with my nose two inches from the screen. I even have this little pouffy foot-rest thingie that I drag in front of the TV, so that my face is that requisite two inches away from the screen. After the start, I try to inch back (just for the sake of decorum), and I sometimes even end up *gasp* back on the couch. But it never lasts for very long. The majority of my GP watching involves me on the pouffy with my face two inches from the screen, yelling at Lewey to hurry up already!!!!

This is normal, right?

I used to watch TV like this when I was left on my own as a kid but then I was told I needed glasses (no ess hitch one tee sherlock!).

I have a 14" TV so I watch through my binoculars. Actually, for all the TV I watch, anything else would be a total waste.

As for you sitting on a pouffy, I hope you asked first!

Im opposite to you Sennaville. I sit on the sofa in the lounge all through the pre-show gabble and warm up race but when the start actually comes I have to go out into the kitchen and peep round the door. I cant actually stay in to watch the start. I got some funny looks last weekend in a spots bar in Menorca when I was trying to hide!!

I got OCD in mild form and i STRESS over making sure not to miss any F1 coverage, from the " the season so far" intro with brundle and clips to the programme finish, i get there early and finish late, then watch all the forum.

I tend to like watching F1 on my own like a hermit so i can devote all attention to it, sometimes i watch it with others on the main tv but its rare.

[andrew]

I watch F1 on my own 'cos I live on my own. Pretty simple really.

I tune in at about 5 to 1, I watch the race, post a comment and then get on with the rest of my day unless it is crappy weather in which case I saty in and join in the fun and games on here. Life's too short to listen to a race that I've just watched being analysized within an inch of its life.

[LewEngBridewell]

I get up, but on my McLaren T-Shirt and cap, settle down, watch all the build up, watch all the race and then tune into all the analysis (BBC Red Button).

When I'm at home in Lancashire, I watch it with my brother. When I'm in London it depends who's around, sometimes I watch it with others, sometimes on my own. The quieter the better, so I don't miss anything!

Really annoying if people come round who arent bothered about F1!! They cant shut up!
Ive got certain lewis things I can wear and certain ones that make lewis do bad. Ive got a dead nice black lewis top that I just cant wear. He does ok if I wear the orange one.

The Victory T-Shirt!

Yes nothing more annoying than folk who're not interesting being present. I just ignore them if that's the case. Or turn the volume up.

I've got a standard black McLaren t-shirt and a black McLaren cap and also an orange Lewis hat, which suits me fine, as my name is Lewis.

Yep, that's where the Lew in my username comes from.
