You Know We’re Going to Talk About It
For reasons that I may never understand, we’ve been coerced into another live show this week. There’s been no time for planning so it’ll be exactly the same as last time, although maybe a bit shorter.
Because it’s such a hot topic, there’s no question the FIA / Ferrari / Massa pitlane incident will crop up at some point and just to throw a curveball into the proceedings, we’re going to attempt to take some skype calls.
If you’ve been stewing over the FIA’s ineptitude for the past 24 hours, now might be a good time to get it out of your system. The number is 0121 28 87225 if you’re in the UK, or +44 121 28 87225 from elsewhere. You can also call us using the Skype name sidepodcast which has the added benefit of being free. Please remember you’re live to the world though, so try and keep it clean!
The plan is to go online at 3pm BST, although we’re running a little late already. Please join us if you can, and click the red logo in the corner to be directed to the Live Commenting Live… Thing. We’ll be there shortly!
Update: The chat thingy went a bit awry, so we did a second broadcast.
Big thanks to Alex from sofaf1 for being our technical guinea pig on this one.

It seems to be saying Not Broadcasting. I think this means they’re Not Broadcasting yet
August 25th, 2008 at 3:04 pmScott Woodwiss said:
not late, am i?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:04 pmAlex Andronov said:
That was weird. My comment didn’t come through initially.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:04 pmAlex Andronov said:
Ah all working now.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:05 pmlou said:
hey everyone
August 25th, 2008 at 3:05 pmSteven Roy said:
Test
August 25th, 2008 at 3:05 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i had no idea you guys were live recording again, only just came back on after doing an online job application
August 25th, 2008 at 3:06 pmAlex Andronov said:
Hey Lou! Hey Scott!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:06 pmSteven Roy said:
Looks like we all had problems with our firs comment attempt
August 25th, 2008 at 3:07 pmAlex Andronov said:
Mine came through I just couldn’t tell that it had until I refreshed.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:07 pmScott Woodwiss said:
mm not real
August 25th, 2008 at 3:07 pmScott Woodwiss said:
not really*
August 25th, 2008 at 3:08 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i didn’t anyway
August 25th, 2008 at 3:08 pmlou said:
mine first comment was ok
August 25th, 2008 at 3:08 pmScott Woodwiss said:
have you got follow incoming comments ticked?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:08 pmlou said:
i meant ‘my’
August 25th, 2008 at 3:09 pmSteven Roy said:
Mine came through but also stayed in the bo you type in but I had to refresh to see any comments that were already there. I could see in the home page you had made comments but they didn’t appear here.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:10 pmAlex Andronov said:
Yup. It was my first one as well so strange. But clearly not a major problem.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:10 pmScott Woodwiss said:
this time next week it’ll be me live with those two!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:10 pmlou said:
I like that the logo is linked
but it seems to be split into 6 little pieces here over on the live commenting thing… not sure if that is only happening on my laptop though
August 25th, 2008 at 3:11 pmSteven Roy said:
I had a totally empty comments box after 3 comments had been made.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:11 pmScott Woodwiss said:
I’m getting a split link as well lou
August 25th, 2008 at 3:11 pmAlex Andronov said:
That’s happening for me in IE. But not Firefox
August 25th, 2008 at 3:12 pmSteven Roy said:
‘me’ mentioned yesterday that it is made up of a few little bits
August 25th, 2008 at 3:12 pmlou said:
that would explain it - i have IE
oh yeah i remember now
August 25th, 2008 at 3:12 pmChristine said:
Hi everyone, running late, as usual.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:13 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i was just about to ask where you two had got to
August 25th, 2008 at 3:13 pmChristine said:
The image is made up of individual pieces so that the text will wrap around it. Not sure what the link issue is? Sure ‘me’ can investigate when he’s not running round like a headless chicken.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:14 pmScott Woodwiss said:
those pieces are kind of split up
August 25th, 2008 at 3:14 pmChristine said:
The funny thing is, I came up with something in case I have to fill again… but it’s no use unless we’ve already started
August 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pmlou said:
it’s not a problem - just thought i would mention it.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pmlou said:
hehe
August 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pmChristine said:
He asks whether it was doing it yesterday, because he’s been in cahoots with Ollie from BlogF1 and they changed something.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:16 pmScott Woodwiss said:
yeah, doesn’t really bother us. the link works, that’s the main thing
August 25th, 2008 at 3:16 pmlou said:
nope it wasn’t doing it yesterday, not that i noticed anyway
August 25th, 2008 at 3:17 pmAlex Andronov said:
Jings and Crivens! Cahoots I ask you! My oh my!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:18 pmAlex Andronov said:
etc.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:18 pmlou said:
i will pop a pic of it into drop.io so that you know what we mean
August 25th, 2008 at 3:18 pmScott Woodwiss said:
erm, what?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:18 pmChristine said:
That’d be excellent, thanks Lou
August 25th, 2008 at 3:19 pmScott said:
Hi everyone, the logo’s also okay in both Opera and Safari, so it must just be an IE related issue.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:19 pmSteven Roy said:
Make sure it is not a big picture that uses up all the drop.io space
August 25th, 2008 at 3:19 pmAlex Andronov said:
Cahoots always sounds a bit PG Woodhouse to me and so it tends to put me in mind of other Woodhousian words…
August 25th, 2008 at 3:21 pmChristine said:
Apparently we’re having input issues. We’re getting there though. Sorry for the delay, hold on tight
August 25th, 2008 at 3:22 pmAlex Andronov said:
My guess is that it will be a return issue. IE sometimes renders returns. It is supposed to be whitespace independent but sometimes it forgets. If you take out the returns between the pictures it might just work.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:22 pmFlibster said:
Erk……
Just had all the comments scroll through the screen at once - I’m a fast reader but thats rediculous.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pmlou said:
ooooo we have picture!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pmChristine said:
We’re going live with video, so you might see me. Let us know if you can see and when/if you can hear.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pmlou said:
i can’t hear any sound though
August 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pmAlex Andronov said:
I can see a still… And it’s saying Buffering…
August 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pmScott Woodwiss said:
hmm, can’t hear anything?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pmSteven Roy said:
I see Christine
August 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pmScott Woodwiss said:
picture works fine, but there’s no sound :S
August 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pmAlex Andronov said:
Not Broadcasting again now
August 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pmScott said:
I also have video, but no audio.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pmSteven Roy said:
I can still see video
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmAlex Andronov said:
Ah now video but a lot of buffering. Of course that could be my end.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmChristine said:
Almost there. We might have to stop and restart but should be fixed then. Fingers crossed.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmSteven Roy said:
I heard a sound
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmScott Woodwiss said:
oh there was sound for a split second there
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmScott Woodwiss said:
there it is!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmlou said:
yay sound!!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:25 pmSteven Roy said:
Proper sound now
August 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pmlou said:
hello!!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pmdoctorvee said:
Hello, I can hear you!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pmScott Woodwiss said:
boogity boogity boogity, let’s go live people!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:27 pmFlibster said:
We have video and sound here.
I do hope that wasn’t an alcoholic drink…
August 25th, 2008 at 3:28 pmScott Woodwiss said:
pic is a-ok for me
August 25th, 2008 at 3:28 pmSteven Roy said:
The picture is fine
August 25th, 2008 at 3:28 pmAlex Andronov said:
I like the view… but I’m getting a lot of buffering still
August 25th, 2008 at 3:29 pmSteven Roy said:
Do you need new tyres? Michelin
August 25th, 2008 at 3:29 pmlou said:
Christine looks lovely
oo the photo is straight!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:29 pmScott Woodwiss said:
more brand advertising there?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:30 pmAlex Andronov said:
It’s probably just me. I’ll restart. Don’t say anything too interesting
August 25th, 2008 at 3:30 pmScott said:
Try refreshing, Alex. I was getting buffering initially, but it has gone now.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:30 pmFlibster said:
All I can see is something small and white - could be a model of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:31 pmlou said:
it’s alright christine i have’nt seen the films either
August 25th, 2008 at 3:32 pmScott Woodwiss said:
you might be in enough trouble with the brands already, don’t make it worse!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:33 pmScott Woodwiss said:
boogity boogity boogity, let’s go live people!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:33 pmFlibster said:
Good god the Valencia track is getting a roasting from the press.
El Mundo said “The most exciting place was the pitlane”
August 25th, 2008 at 3:33 pmScott Woodwiss said:
or not
August 25th, 2008 at 3:33 pmScott Woodwiss said:
long, but brilliant
August 25th, 2008 at 3:37 pmSteven Roy said:
No
August 25th, 2008 at 3:37 pmFlibster said:
Max Mosley theme tune suggestions?
Hit me with your rhythm stick?

August 25th, 2008 at 3:37 pmlou said:
is it me or is christine a little muffled?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:37 pmScott Woodwiss said:
everything’s fine for me, i’m just listening at the moment
August 25th, 2008 at 3:37 pmSteven Roy said:
You asked if everyone was still here
August 25th, 2008 at 3:38 pmAlex Andronov said:
I really can’t get this to work sadly
August 25th, 2008 at 3:38 pmlou said:
that sounds better
August 25th, 2008 at 3:38 pmdoctorvee said:
Lou - sound quality seems to be worse than last week I reckon. A lot of ‘clipping’ I think they call it.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmlou said:
ah ok
thanks, i know nothing about this kinda thing 
August 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmAlex Andronov said:
Having said that it’s been working ever since
August 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmFlibster said:
Alex, You running peerguardian or an ip block list or anything like that?
You may need to disable it or allow a couple of sites through.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmAlex Andronov said:
It’s working all well now!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:40 pmScott said:
The audio’s much improved now. Well done guys.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:40 pmScott Woodwiss said:
oh noes, not force india!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:41 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i can’t really hear “me” very much
August 25th, 2008 at 3:41 pmAlex Andronov said:
I agree with Christine
August 25th, 2008 at 3:41 pmAlex Andronov said:
That’s much better
August 25th, 2008 at 3:42 pmScott Woodwiss said:
lol
August 25th, 2008 at 3:42 pmFlibster said:
Still better than James Allen.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:42 pmAlex Andronov said:
It’s queen and Bowie together. Quite hard to beat!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pmAlex Andronov said:
I hope it’s been a bad week for James Allen
August 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pmScott Woodwiss said:
it’s always a bad week for us when we have to listen to him
August 25th, 2008 at 3:45 pmScott Woodwiss said:
valencia has some great architecture, but instead all we saw were containers and cranes. not exactly picturesque, is it?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:45 pmAlex Andronov said:
It was a green track. And it was green by the track.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:45 pmFlibster said:
Grey tarmac, grey concrete, grey fencing….
It’s America! Just like the old Detroit or Caesars Palace tracks
August 25th, 2008 at 3:45 pmdoctorvee said:
I need to shoot off and get ready for work. Will listen to the podcast later. Enjoy the liveness everyone!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:46 pmScott Woodwiss said:
is it up on drop.io?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:47 pmAlex Andronov said:
Was it the same guy both times?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:49 pmScott said:
A lot of San Miguel consumed.

There was a crisp packet that seemed to hang around for a long time.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:52 pmlou said:
Was it them Hamilton was complaining about? or was he just complaining about the other drivers in general?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:53 pmAlex Andronov said:
I wondered if Lewis didn’t want to mention Alonso by name in case Spain went crazy!
August 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pmScott Woodwiss said:
hamilton almost didnt race because of that illness he talked about in the press conference
August 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pmAlex Andronov said:
Lewis suffered from a dodgy pillow
August 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pmGaulty (Sunning it out in Portugal) said:
Hello from Portugal.
Can´t get a decent thing on this computer, all white boxes flashing up and down?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pmFlibster said:
He got boo’ed and whistled enough when he was on the podium.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pmAlex Andronov said:
How many painkillers can you be on and drive a car?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pmScott Woodwiss said:
news break
August 25th, 2008 at 3:55 pmAlex Andronov said:
Amazingly somebody went and asked Lewis what these “Health Problems” were.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:55 pmAlex Andronov said:
Gaulty. They would like more details…
August 25th, 2008 at 3:55 pmlou said:
he had a spasm in his neck in the early morning apparently.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:56 pmlou said:
DC had to have injections in his side when he raced after his plane accident cause he broke is ribs
August 25th, 2008 at 3:56 pmScott Woodwiss said:
“Ferrari sure Raikkonen will fight back” - erm, are you sure you’re sure?
August 25th, 2008 at 3:57 pmAlex Andronov said:
I reckon Kimi just said, “we’ll fight back, for sure…”
August 25th, 2008 at 3:57 pmScott Woodwiss said:
and not a trulli train all weekend, it seems
August 25th, 2008 at 3:58 pmScott Woodwiss said:
I think Kimi said when his engine went yesterday *in a less than interested tone* “Oh look, engine’s gone…..damn”
August 25th, 2008 at 3:59 pmlou said:
yeah five live said that. I heard it too.
August 25th, 2008 at 3:59 pmScott said:
Yeah, I think it might have been David Croft who said they got to chose.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:00 pmAlex Andronov said:
Where is Alianora when we have a rule clarification needed?
August 25th, 2008 at 4:00 pmFlibster said:
I was under the impression that the closest to the pit exit was the No1 pit box.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:01 pmDom said:
Hi guys
I didn’t know you were doing more live podcasting!
August 25th, 2008 at 4:03 pmFlibster said:
There would be some spare - how many cars are in GP2? 26 isn’t it?
August 25th, 2008 at 4:03 pmFlibster said:
I think it was alcohol in that glass….
August 25th, 2008 at 4:05 pmSteven Roy said:
For the last 15 minutes I have had constant buffering and ‘not broadcasting’. I am going to try rebooting to see if that solves it.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:05 pmlou said:
you can just imagine Martin standing next to him rolling his eyes
August 25th, 2008 at 4:05 pmScott said:
Yeah, there are 26 cars in the GP2 field.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:06 pmDom said:
Martin didn’t really know what had been going on in practice either…
August 25th, 2008 at 4:06 pmRed said:
Audio & Video coming in loud and clear here in Canada

August 25th, 2008 at 4:07 pmFlibster said:
Thats really more information than we need… always fiddling… :p
August 25th, 2008 at 4:07 pmScott Woodwiss said:
no problems for me, although the audio is a little quiet for my liking, and laptop
August 25th, 2008 at 4:08 pmlou said:
no problems for me at all
August 25th, 2008 at 4:08 pmRed said:
Christine sounds good. Me is muffled
August 25th, 2008 at 4:08 pmScott said:
It’s fine here too, as well.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:09 pmFlibster said:
Both good.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:09 pmScott Woodwiss said:
that’s much better for ‘me’
August 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pmlou said:
ermm? ok…..
August 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pmScott Woodwiss said:
seriously i thought you’d said “something else” there ‘me’, too much info…
August 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pmFlibster said:
Pardon?!
August 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pmFlibster said:
OOOOH! Cog!
August 25th, 2008 at 4:13 pmlou said:

Oh, cog. Phew.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:13 pmAlex Andronov said:
I’m getting buggering all of the time now
August 25th, 2008 at 4:13 pmAlex Andronov said:

August 25th, 2008 at 4:13 pmScott Woodwiss said:
hahahahaha!
August 25th, 2008 at 4:14 pmScott said:
Eh? :p
August 25th, 2008 at 4:14 pmFlibster said:
Thats devotion to podcasting there.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:15 pmRed said:
Has there been an update on Kimi’s mechanic?
August 25th, 2008 at 4:15 pmAlex Andronov said:
You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do!
August 25th, 2008 at 4:15 pmScott Woodwiss said:
nakajima did that overtake on barrichello near the end at the last corner
August 25th, 2008 at 4:15 pmAlex Andronov said:
August 25th, 2008 at 4:16 pmDom said:
I think Button moved up thanks to the Alonso accident.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:17 pmScott Woodwiss said:
i wonder if kaz is getting death threats from the spanish fans or something like that now after taking alonso out
August 25th, 2008 at 4:18 pmlou said:
didn’t he move up 3 places though?
August 25th, 2008 at 4:18 pmDom said:
DC spun too.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:19 pmScott Woodwiss said:
from what i saw he went on the yellow light, not the green
August 25th, 2008 at 4:20 pmlou said:
DC started behind him though didn’t he? i suppose kimi’s accident moved him up too…
August 25th, 2008 at 4:20 pmScott Woodwiss said:
they should have a christmas tree of lights like drag racing
August 25th, 2008 at 4:20 pmAlex Andronov said:
Me too. And I think Kimi took the blame himself.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:20 pmFlibster said:
Now they are thinking of changing Massas engine before Spa, they still have the free change for Massa available. Plus the Ferrari V8’s do seem fragile in hotter conditions - which shouldn’t be a problem in Belgium. Although you can never predict the weather there.
It appears that the ‘reliability modifications’ that the FIA signed off on are working really well.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:21 pmDom said:
It says a lot about F1 that Massa gets a fine for something out of his control, and Kimi escapes from punishment after hurting a mechanic.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:21 pmScott Woodwiss said:
If it rains in spa, ferrari are screwed. if it doesn’t mclaren are screwed
August 25th, 2008 at 4:22 pmAlex Andronov said:
Perhaps it’s useful to have the engine’s break a few times. Maybe they have a whole load of new performance enhancements they want to put through?
August 25th, 2008 at 4:22 pmScott said:
Ferrari were always prepared to protect Schumacher during controversial incidents, but I don’t think they view Kimi in quite the same light.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:22 pmFlibster said:
Sadly, it’s Spa so it’s likely to do both.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:22 pmDom said:
Oh yeah. Best ignore me.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:25 pmFlibster said:
It wasn’t Massa’s fault. Apparently it was Sutils fault.
Riiiiiiiiight….
August 25th, 2008 at 4:26 pmDom said:
Red lights seem to be a problem in F1.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:28 pmScott said:
Karun Chandhock was given a drive-through penalty for the same thing, in GP2, at Valencia.
August 25th, 2008 at 4:28 pmFlibster said:
FIA being inconsistant?
Who woulda thunked it.

We were having a party during the race. When the race is really good the talking will stop and people will pay full attention. But this time it didn’t happen. The racing wasn’t more interesting than the chatting.

The thing that works quite well is that we are either listening to the show which is interesting and funny. Or we are listening to the wheels falling off the wagon which in itself is pretty funny. And then there are all the comments which are interesting and funny too.
Not sure you getting more proficient particularly helps us. But it might mean that Christine isn’t editing at 3 in the morning.

Got buffering appearing once, but that was my end when my firewall decided it didn’t like the web stream.
Biggest problem with running your own live streaming server - you need a beefy connection to run it from. The one we use at work is on a 5mb upload iirc.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:29 pmAlex Andronov said:
I think we got the idea better this time.

It was deliberate. The guy looks like an amphibian. Thinking about it a bit more, he looks like Chet when he’s changed into the amphibian in Weird Science.
How appropriate for a froggie.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:30 pmAlex Andronov said:
Well if you were just bad I’m not sure it would work. But because we’re so used to listening to your incredibly proficient podcast it does seem that the juxtaposition is pretty amusing!

This week was great, as was last week. The beauty of you going live means we get to catch the funny moments etc. It’s great to see the behind the scenes and it’s also brilliant to have such interaction with you.

Made me laugh.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:41 pmme said:
so here’s what i’m thinking (but don’t tell christine). if the studio is set up on a sunday morning. we could do a live pre-race show (mostly chilled music and bits of chat). then leave everything plugged in to do a live show in the evening (for us / candia / australia listeners).
it means the edited podcast won’t go out until monday though.
thoughts?

Scott Woodwiss did make several Senna-esque comments earlier.

It was a very strange decision, and I think we can say with the benefit of hindsight, a very poor decision. I remember there were rumours at the time that di Montezemolo wanted the team’s structure to feature Italians more prominently.

i’m thinking the am show would be just live, and maybe put out as a download “as-live”, but never edited. the evening show would be exactly what we just did.

That sounds great. It would really add to the Grand Prix build up.
However make sure it’s not way to much hastle for you two. You both do soo much for sidepodcast already. But if your both up for it etc, that would be amazing. I have one request about going live on a sunday evening - could it not go on into the small hours, i’ve gotta go back to school soon

Clearly ‘me’ can’t talk and look over his shoulder at the same time
Me:
You should buy yourself on of those headsets with a mic so that you can look over you shoulder and talk at the same time without your voice becoming muffled.

Used to do a kind of F1 news and live commentary on a site. However, the death threats I received wern’t worth it.
Allowed me to keep my contacts in F1 alive though.

That is the point of being live. You don’t know what you are going to get. If it was always super slick it would be boring. You have two tings that are always going to screw up somewhere along the line. Real people and technology. Put them together and you will occasionally have problems but having problem shows will make the good ones even better.

haha same. i end up scheduling my social life around the f1 callender… not that i mind

might be tricky that one. only because f1 digest doesn’t go out until 9pm(ish). so that’s the earliest we can do it. brazil will presumably be worse, but fuji and china will be afternoon shows.

That is superb! If there is to be a winner of the ‘You know you’re an F1 fan when…’ competition, this should be it.

My last holiday - I managed to persuade the other half to go camping in Belguim. Sadly I ‘forgot’ that it was the grand prix week… I just had to go.

true, but they’re never sound as good as a condenser mic (at least to my ears).
will try and remember that.

I kept you up? I thought it was the other way round.
I was suffering this morning when I woke up at 10am - I must be getting old or something!
August 25th, 2008 at 5:52 pmAlex Andronov said:
So any guesses about how long the show will be?
I’m going to go for whatever Ollie says.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:52 pmSteven Roy said:
Actually my point was that everytime ‘me’ said looking over my shoulder at the comments he fluffed his next line. Nothing to do with sound quality.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:52 pmOllie said:
This sounds good, by the way.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:54 pmScott said:
I actually thought that this week’s show was considerably better than the first. Up until around three quarters of the way through, it was all going extremely well, and came across as well polished. It was only the last segment when ‘me’ and yourself struggled to get your words out, but that’s perfectly understandable given that this was only your second effort. No doubt live show number three will be even better.
August 25th, 2008 at 5:54 pmlou said:
oi forgot about f1digest.. yeah i understand… may have to miss a few of the live shows then… but to be honest it depends how many study periods i get on a monday as to how awake i need to be
even if you start at 10 though, surely it will be finished by 1 in the morning?

it was worth, shoulda known IE would cause trouble.
me too!
