I think Bill Bryson mentioned in one of his books, in the US Christmas decorations tend to only go up after Thanksgiving. Seeing as Black Friday has now been adopted by most of the planet maybe christmas decorations should only go up post black friday

Right attitude. Spectators don't go to watch a championship, they go to watch a race.

I think she also came 7th in the German GP at the Nordschleife also in 1975. I think that's an equally as impressive feat.

I was fortunate enough to see her race in the 1984 Tourist Trophy at Silverstone. Just looked up the results and I see she actually came first in her class. More remarkably it in an Alfa Romeo that went 500km without an electrical fault.

#OnThisDay in ’94 Damon Hill mastered a soaking-wet Suzuka to record his finest #F1 GP win. Great pic taken by Paul-Henri Cahier.

Literally held my breath the whole final lap.

So infuriating losing one's phone in one's bed. Who do we blame though? The bed manufacturers, the phone manufacturers or the bed linen manufacturers. Somebody needs to be accountable.

Same one who chopped off her Husband's John Thomas?

Since watching Deliver Me From Nowhere I now have an invigorated appreciation for the Nebraska album. I've always liked most of the songs on the record but maybe didn't listen to it as often as other #Springsteen disks for the almost four decades I've had it. Now I can't stop listening to it.

I wanted to go and see Deliver Me From Nowhere again last night but sadly it's already been pulled from the movie house. It would have become only the second movie I've seen twice at the cinema after The Empire Strikes Back which I saw twice in 1980.

🎶Without you I'm working with the rain falling down
I'm half a party in a one-dog town
I need you to chase these blues away
Without you I'm a drummer girl that can't keep a beat
Ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that you're comin' to stay🎶

What happened to the Friend Zone?

I disagree. I once had a t-shirt very similar to this. Many years ago.

Adelaide was the best place for the last race of the season ever. I miss it.

#OnThisDay 40 years ago was run on the streets of Adelaide the first championship #F1 #AusGP, won by Keke Rosberg, always a street circuit ace. It was his 5th & final F1 GP win. Pic: Rosberg’s Williams FW10B at Stag Corner, named after the pub/hotel behind.

And Austria 82 of course, how could I forget that. Let me go self flagellate.

Statistics only tell half the story. So many memorable drives from Keke that didn't end in Victory; Brazil 82 & 83, Long Beach 82 & 83, Belgium 82 & 83, France 85, Australia 86. Many others where he got it on pole or took an early lead but faded because of inadequate machinery/tyres.

Seems like they're trying to deflect attention from the real issue which is WTF were marshalls doing in the middle of the track in the first place

I count 59 winless races. They're probably halfway to that now in the current barren season.

That came to my mind too. He also had a fine symmetrical victory pattern Benetton>Ferrari>Mclaren>Ferrari>Benetton

Could be theirs

How sad. It's impossible not to think of her as Sybil without smiling.

Who is she?

After watching Deliver Me From Nowhere, every other movie feels vastly inferior.

🎶I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fightin' off them Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now🎶

Vastly more entertaining than current #F1 pitlane reporting 😂

We have multiplied 😽

Watching the 2000 #Frenchgp one thing I notice at the end of the race is how slim everyone looks. The mechanics, officials, spectators, other team personnel. They all look very lean compared to nowadays.

Probably but good memories of DC racing Schummie while I was pouring Guinness down my throat
