Oh really now Bud. Where I live from what I have been told that second language that is taught is usually Italian. If not Italian then perhaps Greek. And then maybe German or French in the more classy schools. Whatever you wrote I do not recognise at all. What language was it Bud? My comment was in Croatian. That is a language that actually exits and people speak. And as for Gaellic, do you even speak it? Most people in Scotland do not even speak it as they all speak English. And Bud one more thing. If you wish to challenge me stick to F1 as Languages/Linguistics wise you have no chance in hell against me. That is my specialty and my passion (not counting Ferrari of course). Just look at my footer.

Most people in Scotland huh, have you been there? have you been to the highlands? nice!

oh i said


grow up

[AKR]

Bud you still didn't answer my queston. Do you speak Gaellic and what language was that whatever you wrote to me in?. And the Highlands? Who cares what about in Glasgow? People there speak ENGLISH!!!!!!

[bud]

It was Gaelic! you already answered that yourself! and as for it being a dead language why not speak to Irve the swerve about that!

[AKR]

Didn't say it was dead Bud. Just said most people in Scotland speak English. And for the record Gaellic isn't even an offical language in Scotland meaning only English has offical legal status. Same situation I guess as you have in Sicily. Italian is the only recognised offcial status language but most people speak Sicilian or dialects of Sicilian which are not Italian dialects. By the way another language I know how to speak. Regarding Irvine. I really don't want to comment on him. I am only going to get McLaren Fan hyped up. They are both from Northern Ireland so I will pretend that Irvine was great. And yes I know he drove for Ferrari but in 1999 (with Schumi being out) Hakkinnen was the better driver over Irvine and deserved the title. Ferrari was the better car and deserved the constructors title. So in all (excpet for Schumi breaking his leg) 1999 was a good year. The right driver, Hakkinnen won the drivers title and the right car, Ferrari won the Constructors title.

What does that mean? You can actually speak another language other than English? Wow that is got to be a world first from an Australian who is not of first generation emigrant descent.

That comment is very close to being out of line.

It was Gaelic! you already answered that yourself! and as for it being a dead language why not speak to Irve the swerve about that!

To be fair, bud, Gaelic in either Scottish or Irish format, is virtually dead now. It's mainly kept alive by people who are passionate about their Gaelic heritage. I can say that being Irish and as somebody who is living in Glasgow at the minute. Where Gaelic (and Scots) is still alive, however, is in the dialect of English in Ireland and Scotland (and I suppose it would be the same in Wales). We have incorporated words from Gaelic and Scots into our dialect of English.

Regarding Irvine. I really don't want to comment on him. I am only going to get McLaren Fan hyped up. They are both from Northern Ireland so I will pretend that Irvine was great. And yes I know he drove for Ferrari but in 1999 (with Schumi being out) Hakkinnen was the better driver over Irvine and deserved the title. Ferrari was the better car and deserved the constructors title. So in all (excpet for Schumi breaking his leg) 1999 was a good year. The right driver, Hakkinnen won the drivers title and the right car, Ferrari won the Constructors title.

For somebody that does not want to comment on Irvine, you certainly have a lot to say about him, and for somebody who is only pretending he was great, you certainly run him down. You are seriously confused.

If it's hardly being spoking now and Ireland/Scotland just speak English then what's this!?

Yes no problem...

If Max Moseley left the FIA and you could elect a new leader who would it be?

Some suggestions:-

Martin Brundel - Knows about the sport from the fans, the teams and the drivers perspectives.

Jackie Stewart - Has been a driver and team principal. Very commited to F1

The Stig - Doesn't say much, just gets on with it.

Paul Stoddard - Knows about F1, been a team principal, doesn't stand for nonsense

Hilary Clinton - doesn't seem to know much about anything so would fit well into MMs shoes.

Others?

Oprah.

Every conflict would be sorted in front of TV cameras and live audience, we'd see a lot of forgotten relatives, idols, role-models... and everyone would kiss and hug at the end.

And we'd find a key to a cheap compact car under our studio seats

I'd select McLaren Fan

Why thank you, bud.

get a room you two!

I say schumi. Why not?

Too fresh out of F1 and too much involved. Why not someone older..? Mansel? Prost?

[nikon133]

Thanks AL4X. I should be the new FIA president. Then everyone know what I will do. I will follow in Moseley's steps and ensure Ferrari wins and Renault of course but never McLaren.

Schumacher would be a great candidate. We all know why.

No we don't. We do. however, know why not.

[texasmr2]

You so crazy!!

McLaren had a very fast car in 2007. Weather they cheated or not the McLaren car was fast. If McLaren wasn't excluded fron the Constructors Championship they would of won no questions asked. Kimi was lucky to win simply because of a Lewis blunder in the last two races. Also Williams and BMW did use cold fuel in that last Brazilian GP. That was all a scam to make Ferrari win everything by the FIA as Mosely wanted the two McLaren drivers excluded as well but couldn't get his way. So basically Ferrari won both Championships with the help of the FIA. This is good because if it wasn't the case then McLaren would of won all and that in my opinion is bad. If it were against Renault then I wouldn't want help of course but against McLaren, anything to beat them especially when they are a formidanle threat. And I am happy that Renault got away with the getting McLaren data in 2006. Imagine they got stripped of their 2006 titles (Alonso included). It would of meant Ferrari and Schumacher would of gotten the honours. Now as a Ferrari tifosa I wouldn't want to do such a horrible thing to a great race VOJAK oops i meant WARRIOR like ALONSO (Especially after what he did for Ferrari in 2007 Muchismas Gracias Don Alonso ) so good to see nothing happened and that all bad things happen to McLaren. May this continue in 2008 and beyond.

Your hatred and fear against McLaren borders religious fanaticism. That is very rare to be seen with young and well-doing person from the west world.

Somehow I missed what is it you have against McLaren. Did some speeding McLaren driver run over your cat or something?
