  1. ive had some pretty big benders in my time, but a few that i do manage to remember are:

     

    19 bottle of beer at a mates BBQ,

     

    3 bottles of cheap aud$4 red wine at Fusina in Venice followed by 2 blue (dont know the name of them) cocktails and a few pints - boy did that night end in tears!!

     

    Another night that will go down in History was at the old JAM bar in Niseko a few seasons ago where they had the traditional opening season Nomi-Hodai (pardon spelling) that was a mega night and have the video to prove!

     

    but the longest drinking binge i think i have had was a 15 hour drinking marathon works Xmas party last Xmas eve. with a headache to go with it.

  2. calm down barok, if the - dare i say it... nah i wont - yanks (is that better?) would lighten up a bit and become a bit more open minded then i think they wouldn have to call their FRENCH fries - "freedom fries"

     

    yeah for sure Ocean, seems like the french are the ones to look up to in all of this... not just black ban boycot, stick a band aid on it and hope it will all go away.... they seem to be the ones with the real democracy these days.... having a president who listens to the people... not like flack jacket johnny howard, blair or bush

  3. Those snow skates have actually been banned from some of our resorts here in Australia! (in particular thredbo)

     

    seems the ever happening fun police got a hold of the idea and decided that we werent allowed to use them any more, their reason being that you can injure someone if they get away from you (they musnt have had leashes attached to the decks in question).

     

    call me paranoid but i think the real reason had more to do with the fact that you didnt have to buy a lift pass to use one ;\) therefore the guys that riding them were mucking around at the base of resorts building rails etc werent needing to buy a lift pass!! this was i guess taxing on the resorts income

     

    fun spoilers suck

  4. frannyo,

     

    well after being glued to the tv most of the weekend watching the action, i am a little convinced that the new rules will make the sport a little more enjoyable to watch and in saying that it certainly did make it a closer race! i am not saying that i agree with the new rules (in particular the telemetry hoo-haa.... thats crazy) mearly saying that it may make things closer. the teams will have to adapt to it, and maybe once they do then we may go back to the old days of scuderia 1 & 2 on the podium.

     

    but all in all, it was one of the most enjoyable races in recent years!

     

    congratulations go to mclaren.... hopefully they will be able to keep it up as the year progresses!!

     

    bring on malaysia

  6. klingon

    uh there are a few changes/upsets in the grid so far, but it is only preliminary.

     

    yeah it was on TV here in oz (and still is) not sure which "empire" you are in but channel 10 now has the F1 coverage (thank the lord) channel nine has given up on trying to cover motersport altogether and is concentrating on the foot(yob)ball as they always do (surprise Surprise). good thing since they have been doing a woefull job in the past few years!!!

  7. I think the FAI have really excelled themselves (not)this time around!!! I think it would have to be the most rediculous/ludicrous rule changes since the grooved tyres were introduced.

     

    READ: THEY SUCK

     

    let me get this right, as i have only heard rumours and read no actual news article on it. have they gone ahead and removed all telemetry from the vehicles???? what century do we live in?? they may as well give shuey and the boys an old sterling moss car to race in!!!

     

    this i believe is one of the biggest steps back the sport has ever made
