Ferrari to use Old Pit System

8 10 2008

The BBC writes that Ferrari are to revert to using the more traditional “lollipop” method for releasing their cars back into the pit lane during a pit stop.  This replaces the semi-automated method they have been using previously this season.

This has to be a good thing. Too many mechanics have ended up on their ass this season due to mistakes. It was only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.





Traffic

There is nothing more annoying that I can think of than by starting your working day stuck in traffic and having to put up with all the ignorant drivers on the road





Too Fat to Model?

7 10 2008

According to a story in today’s Daily Express (I don’t normally read tabloids but it’s all I have today) model Katie Green has given up modelling because “she’s been told she needs to lose two stone”.

Why?! She is nothing short of stunning!

No wonder no one likes the fashion industry any more!





Petrol Prices

7 10 2008

On the way home from work last night I was listening to the radio where they were saying that due to the fear caused by the worldwide economic crisis everyone is scaling back on things like food and fuel. This reduction in demand had caused the price of oil to fall to under $90.

So why this morning on the way to work have I noticed BP putting their prices up?!
