A blank year isnt going to help him much, either

You should of waited for more replys before spoiling it!

Got this in my inbox this morning, and thought it could be useful around here:
HOW TO WRITE GOOD

by Frank L. Visco

My several years in the word game have learnt me several rules:

1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
   
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
   
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
   
4. Employ the vernacular.
   
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
   
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
   
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
   
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
   
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
   
10. One should never generalize.
    
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
    
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
    
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
    
14. Profanity sucks.
    
15. Be more or less specific.
    
16. Understatement is always best.
    
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
    
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
    
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
    
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
    
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
    
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
    
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?

Fair play for Red Bull, congrats Vettel!

I also found the rain a bit strange looking too

Congrats Dennis!

Ferrari insists Massa has full support, which of course means he has a foot and a half out of the team

According to GTPlanet, it is a production issue, meaning they dont have enough copies ready.

Anyway I wont die for it, whats a few weeks more considering we are still waiting for 'early 2009'...

Thanks god I didnt rush to get that ps3 deal

Hah! Im getting the damn console just for it, if its delayed again im gonna kill somebody!

You got that hard drive working ok Dan? I dont know how hungry ps3 games are, but I've been told 120GB should last for a while

So, might be jumping on the sonywagon sooner than expected.

PS3 120GB + 2 controllers for 300€

Considering you can plug third party hard drives sounds like quite a good deal to me

Thoughts?

Motivation and all the people I used to race with

Try the Mass Effect saga, utterly awesome

Sergio Perez for Sauber wheel

I hope the old man knows what he is doing, must suck to be Heidfeld now.

Sutil, Raikkonen's time is long gone IMO

Hey Jack,

Welcome back, been to Javea many times and its a really nice place to be, even if its full of bloody foreigners!

oh wait!

J/K

Will try it as soon as possible, cant wait to nuke the hell out of everyone surrounding me, even if that means building temples and lowering taxes to keep the populace happy, then switch governments and then just one more turn to...holy crap its 3AM already!?

more like

"petrov we can confirm you have a race seat for next season"

That was a good laugh for being so early!!

Quote from Electrik Kar :

This and the new Civ game look pretty tempting.

^ That. Who needs any F1 game having a new Civ?

Im sitting on the fence on trying this: if its half realistic it will be too hard to drive properly / set up, and if its not even there, it will just be another arcade racer.

Waiting for more reviews from informed LFS'ers...

So, the date is getting closer and closer. Im a total n00b regarding console pricing, any idea how much the bundle will cost?

Quote from Intrepid :

However my point about Webber was in reaction to the idea he had more racing brain than Hamilton, which is utter tosh.

lol

One cant argue with blind fanboyism, but the poll results are right there

Death was confirmed with 6 laps to go of the MotoGP race, so what are you talking about?
