Episode 51 - What’s That Helmet Doing in the Middle of my Dinner?

Sidepodcast logo

Sidepodcast takes a little journey into the middle of the English countryside, and samples the delights at an F1-related pub.

Intro

When broadband dies, there’s only one thing to do: road trip! We explain why we’re out and about near Milton Keynes.

Good Week / Bad Week

Honda staff, and Super Aguri, may have money coming their way, whilst top bods at McLaren are summoned to Italy, and Renault sign their way into new markets.

On Friday our broadband died… again! F1 Minute was subsequently uploaded via a dialup connection, but figuring we couldn’t go another weekend without fast net access, on Saturday morning we headed straight out to pick up a 3G modem.

It turns out that these things are pretty indispensable and it’s fast becoming my favourite gadget of the year. We went for a pay-as-you-go package and £15 worth of credit, which gives us 3GB of bandwidth before we have to top up again.

In order to stretch the modem’s legs we figured a road trip was necessary, so this morning we set off in search of some F1 excitement and ended up at a traditional English pub.

To find out what’s so important about this particular pub and how we ended up there, you’ll have to listen to this week’s show. I’m writing this post from the backseat of the car, on the journey home, and so long as the modem’s up to the task, the show will be available shortly.
