I never did like Ethan ever since he made some bad comments about Colombia. The guy seems to be out just to piss people off.

OT,
I like your post over at F1-Live, from which I quote...
In the days of Jim Clark we had only gentleman posters with manners, remember you can state your case without abuse!
I wasn't aware of the existence of the internet in the 60's!
LOL

Sorry Henrik - I must have missed that one - unusual for me...
Do you remember what thread it was in? I wouldn't mind having a look at it.

OT,
I haven't been able to find what thread that post was in.
Sorry for confusing OD with you, but the message was also typed in your trademark blue text.
Oh well, I should have known better...

so if we are all jacked with f1-live, where is everybody.. that was a great race - punctuated by the ugly skirmishes over monty and michael into turn one, the drive thru penalty and jenson shaping up a podium, not to mention enrique bernoldi re-overtaking schuey. :Bounce: this little spat between the loyalists of ms & jpm is rivetting, primarily because we have a genuine battle for the 2002 season. let those stupid fucks flame. this promises to be a great season with plenty of surprises - all teams look certain to score points and then the lucky few who may snatch a podium - i dont mind reading what people have to say about it. ps: got a picture of me and a few of the boys from the f1-live forum: eccles and nackers...only people i could meet up with. maybe throw it up over there. cant belive i blew a chance to meet robyn... burp! ;D

I can't believe it, they're even invading the Monster. This is disgusting, where are all these insolent newbies coming from??? Are they T3 proteges? Schumel and Monty can figure it out, why can't everyone else take their word for it. No tolerance any more. It's too bad. Oh weel at least it's driving me to drink.

H'mm....I guess I'll drink to that as well! There goes another six pack ;D LOL! Hey all, I guess the race was a pretty good one, shame I didn't see it...LOL, the feed Speed Channel received was pathetic. It really was bad. Normally I don't bitch about the feed, but yesterdays was absolutely the worst I've seen in TEN years!!! Seriously. Oh well, I guess I'll go have another beer... ... Later, Rx

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Malaysian TV is responsible for the feed. Speedvision only has control of their commentators which suck. Well the Steve Matchett guy is good, anyway, but they (speedvision) can't control the camera angles? Is that right???
Is that why countries that have lots of racing seem to have better TV shots? I'll leave the USA and our coverage of the USGP at Indy out because that destroys my whole theory!(LOL)
Why doesn't F1 control the camera's? Or is that what "ITV" is and our "backword ass redneck" country doesn't get it. I really don't know.
Is it possible to get the ITV feed? Does Mexico maybe have it? I'm in San Diego which is 30min from the Mexican border (Case of "Corona's", 24 bottles $7.00usd!!!). I can't think of better way to spend a weekend, Surf in Mexico, chase Tourist girls around, Drink all night, and at 4:00am my time pass out in front of a TV and wake-up missing a kidney or something!! Hey I might be on to something here.(LOL)

Ohhhh and by the way. I need to appologize to OT. Recently I wrote in a thread that I have never really seen you get upset at someone. Ooops, My Bad! I hope I didn't cause you to do that. It couldn't be...and I quote (that whinger ron is)
"the biggest f#ckwit under the sun, you are typical of the brain dead morons that pick a bad moment in history, and lay blame on someone without doing any research and then pounce with your head up your own arse ready to use any crap you can to try and discredit someone, but anyway..."
(ROFLMAO)
Man, once the big dog gets off the porch...you had better RUN!!!
..pounce with your head up your own arse...
haaaaaa hahhaaaaaa, I'm still laughing!!!!
Thanks,
h8

Hey hearing aide!
Yes I reckon you would be getting the ITV feed...that's what most of us get. But it sounds like you're not getting the ITV guys commentating.
The problem is that with the ITV coverage is that the pictures and cameras are done locally. So you get some producer organising which screen to cover and which driver/battle to cover. Unfortunately it appears that most of these producers don't have a clue about F1, so they just follow the leader, or a Ferrari or Mclaren as they don't know anything else! Hence the Aust coverage contained alot Webber and other countries concentrate alot on their own driver. (mind you they didn't spend much time on AY on the w'end! LOL).
There is a better coverage! Bernie has some pay TV digital cover where they take their own people all around the word hence they know what to cover. When you're at the track, the screens all around the place have this coverage. It is absolutely brilliant! In Aust last year we had in-car pictures from M$, MH, DC and all the major players plus they caught most of the battles. It was worth the admittance fee just to watch the screens! LOL
Unfortunately we seem to have limited access to this coverage. Perhaps it is more available in Europe. I would love the opportunity to get the cover as it was sooooooo much better...

hello lads... long time no talk!
well, i proudly own a PS2 now, so i am really gettin stuck into it.. ahh well.
great race.
f1 forum sucks ass. i dont think i will bother with it, and it is not getting better. We should move to the technical forum. i havent posted on the general forum for over a week.
what went wrong?
the general forum would be a feast of decent topics, now it is starved of decent stories/views/discussions.
i call a mutiny, and we all should retreat to the technical forum.
