New Year, New Job

Well, I finally did it and left the college. Its now day three of the new job and I have to admit, I’m enjoying it immensely. 

I’d like to thank profusely everyone who was kind enough to sign my leaving card and send me emails or buy me a pint at the Christmas do. What a send off. Thanks again guys.

In case you’re wondering, I got a PSP as my leaving gift. Beats a gold watch any day! 😀

Motorsport Calendar

OK, so if you’re anything like me (and gladly very few people are!), you’ll want to know whats going on in motor sport over the rapidly approaching new year.

Well, God bless ’em, auntie have stepped in to help. If you have a look at their Motorsport Calendar you’ll have at least dates for some of the bigger race meets. Just look at all those NASCAR races! How do those drivers and mechanics see their families?!?

Start your engines boys and girls, credit cruch or not, there’s racing to be done! 😀

Man Colds

In honour of my fallen comrades at work, many of whom have been coughing in my general direction (cheers!), I thought I’d post the classic “Man Cold” movie from YouTube.

Get well soon boys (and Emma)! 

RIP Honda F1

With the death of Super Aguri and the Honda race team itself its fair to say that the Japanese firm has called time on its F1 racing division.

Being a Honda fan, I’m gutted that the team, who were looking on course for a revival after their two season slump are not going to race at all next season. Button and Barichello will be without drives from the looks of it and its going to be a hard Christmas for the lads and ladies a Brackley. Not to mention Ross Brawn who’s been enduring this season (like his drivers) to become team boss of an outfit that looked capable of winning next season.

I’m not surprised car manufacturers are looking to bail out of F1. Many look set to do so over the next few seasons if those proposed standardised engines come in anyway, I’m just surprised it was Honda. Toyota maybe but Honda? What’s up with that?!?
I hope they find a buyer.

With Seat pulling out of the BTCC and Honda pulling out of F1, I’m going to keep very quiet about who I like in Moto GP unless they fold too. These things happen in threes you know! 🙁

Take a look around the global village – Earthcam

Here’s a question. Have you ever checked out some of the fascinating web cams people have set up?

Checking out Earthcam, an old website I used to look at years ago, I was pleased to see they’re still up to their old tricks and showing you some interesting places in the world, live.

So, if you want to check out Times Square in New York at street level or have a look at pretty much any major city you can think of, check it out. I was trawling through it for a few hours yesterday evening. Marvelous! 😀
