Sigh ...

I went freelance so that I could avoid working until all hours ... At least I am paid for every minute I am there and cabcharges are thrown at me with cheer.

In further proof that the news has become as easy to predict as most American mainstream film plots, I offer the following.

Brammers on Saturday: That was a terrible accident! I'm relieved Massa looks as though he will be all right. I give it less than 48 hours before people are calling for Michael Schumacher to take the vacant drive.

Mr Brammers: *Starts stopwatch*

36 hours later ...

Mr Brammers: You win.

Just watched the sports news on a commercial channel here.

Sportscaster: In astonishing news, voices are calling for Michael Schumacher to return to Ferrari after Massa's shocking accident.

Mr Brammers: That's not news. Stumpy on the sofa broke that three days ago.

Brammers: *Raises moderately stumpy arms in victory*

I do love you! Your powers of prediction are becoming legendary. :D

I hope Michael runs in the other direction. I'm sure he will - he's got better things to do now, like crashing high speed motorcycles.

And I think the Renault penalty was totally bogus - talk about over-reacting. It's F1 - accidents happen - suck it up, Princesses!

I am awfully glad Massa looks like he'll be ok, but it's a dangerous sport and people are going to get hurt.

As I said to C, next thing someone is going to get hurt by a piece of falling satellite, and then they'll have to move all the races underground. >.>

AHAHAHAHA! Underground F1 kills me as an idea, next stop, Grand Prix Bogsnorkling!

I agree with you about the Renault penalty, but this whole year has been like that. And while I know it is lame as a lame thing, I confess I am excited about Michael's return, if only for the inevitable leaping glee or tanties depending on the results ;-)
