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*

lol

Pretty scary accident though.

I have to confess, I wouldn't entirely mind if M.S. came back. Might be interesting now that Ferrari doesn't have the dominating car.

Oh Schumie. You're such an asshole but you're such a good driver.

Sorry that work is being so demanding *boo*

At least means more money for potential European trip, yes? *yays*

Oh, I'd have a blast if MS came back! :misses him lots: Only, of course, after so much time not driving, and with the new car stuff, it might not be so great :/

Also, yay for your prophetic abilities! ;)

Brammers 10:2

And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

Peace,
Bubba

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. >.>

LOL

I know nothing of the accident, but Stumpy on the Sofa gets my vote every time!

It's because the newscasters grew up with American mainstream films!

Ahh, but is he The Stig?
