I couldn't figure out why he stretched his arms out the way he did, I wonder if he could walk on water too ?You missed an opportunity there!
A loudly delivered shout of "Banzai!" with any luck would have surprised him and delivered a lesson on how painful gravitational attraction to a road surface can be

World-beating? Maybe if you see how much it is costing.

This Government would have a job starting a blaze if you gave them a Flamethrower with full tanks and the trigger stuck on "Fire" while standing on a garage forecourt, and it was pointing at the pumps.
Wasn’t the jockey supposed to be the track, trace and testing font of knowledge? That’s what she is being paid to do. So why are they now hiring people to do the job for her? She can either do the job or she can’t.
I think they misunderstood - in her CV they saw "track" and missed the word before, "horserace". They saw "trace" and missed the word after, "clip". They saw "test", and missed both the word before, "dope", and the person before them, "dope".
It seems e scooters have been used in two shooting incidents this week in Enfield and Coventry.Talking of E-scooters which we were not, was it mentioned on here that the Gov have scrapped the official trial of the aforementioned because some people were seen riding them on the pavement ... no! surely not, as if.
I've seen some sights over the weeks of the sort of antics kids get up to on these things but yesterdays topped it all.
Two kids were riding straight down the middle of a busy main road going flat out, then one kid stood very still on the scooter platform took both his hands off and stretched his arms out crucifix style .. unbelievable.
Presumably you can wedge the throttle full on and leap off, what fun
Quick getaway vehicle, commit a crime then scoot off to Tesco's fold it up and disappear inside.
I would say f1 is the Barry **** peas level of sport.
its worthless.
who is the best driver? We have no idea.
its not equal.

Thank you.
I believe what has escaped you is the fact that F1 is total competition. By that I mean you have to conquer the financial, political (Team) and engineering (equipment) elements of the sport in order to succeed. Once you’ve done that, you need that 0.5% extra edge to capitalise on the advantage.
Hamilton and Schumacher are intelligent and realise all this. At the other end of the scale, people don’t see it.
You ask who can turn the steering wheel and press the pedals the best. That’s probably Vestappen, but he’s not yet mastered the other elements which will make him champion one day.
Nicely summed up Barry, as we had with Schumacher best driver best car = almost unbeatable. That's why the only sport I watch is Cycle racing as there are so many elements to it a different person wins every time ... and it's free to watch in the flesh of course.
Seen the same a long time ago. A couple of circa 11 year old kids on my estate in the late 1990s, L* and M*, were mad keen on anything powered and sometimes cadged short rides on my e-bikes. L* then managed to get hold of a stand-on e-scooter around 2010, a rather more chunky affair than today's ones. Capable of a bit over 15 mph he use to ride it down the centre of the main road through the estate and on one occasion when I was following him a little way back on my Torq he was following the local bus with only around a foot gap and then held his arms straight out for a while just like that. It was typical of the sort of lunatic things he got up to back then, yet he never did hurt himself and survived to calm down into more sensible behaviour.
In contrast, his pal M* who seemed the more sensible at first, soon graduated to illegally riding scooters and then motorbikes. From the age of about 15 he first broke his left femur in an accident, then his right leg, then both his left forearm bones. In his twenties now, to this day when I see him I inquire whether he's broken the right arm yet!
He hasn't, so judging from both L* and M*, they often really are invincible!

I suppose it's like when you're young you feel invincible, look at all this Parkour & Freerunning. I watched a couple of people recently clambering up the side of a community centre hanging on by their fingertips and leaping from wall to wall, in your youth you just don't consider you could break your back or neck. I knew of a guy who did a lot of Tombstoning off of piers etc. then it went wrong and having broken his back he ended up in a wheelchair. Depression & drugs followed, he died a while back .. what a waste.
Win some, lose some. I look at those who enjoyed their supposed invisibility and survived without paying for it, and that includes me. I don't see the apparent failures as a waste, it's all experience and each one still constitutes a life. What each makes of it is a question of attitude, was Stephen Hawking's life in a wheelchair a waste? Few would consider it so.
