Ladies and Gentlemen (in a Brian Jones-stylee),
Well, the Rev has returned to wish you all some festive cheer and reflect upon a monumental year.
We have had some bad things, but they are more than overshadowed by the good. Now is a time to rejoice in happiness and friendship.
Happy Christmas everyone. What do you say people, is it a time for Lager to give his annual address or what?

Yep, a Merry Christmass to you all! I hope you have a fantastic time and enjoy all the great films on over Xmas (you can take the student away from the university, but you can't take the media studies out of the student!)

In my own defense I'd just like to point out that if all the blokes on this page can slather over girlies on said page with much stronger descriptions than 'yum' then I'm perfectly within my rights to express my own opinion also. So there Anna. Ahem, I mean K@...

Girl About Paddock <somebody@somewhere.com>
Incensed at such a blatent attempt to repress free speech and opinion. How rude. - Sunday, December 16, 2001 at 10:02:18 (PST)
I'm not surprised that the last comment caused a Guestbook coma. We can take issue with each and every statement.

Eastenders - pants? Doesn't even warrant comment.........

Ian McKellar Jnr. Yum? Can we get away from this girlie type sexism, please. Mattie - you are responsible in a big way for this - you incite the worship of this man, which is fine, but this is not the place for comments like "yum" when used in reference to blokes. "Yum" can of course be used to describe girlies - as so ably and effictively demonstrated by our own Anna. A wonderful example to us all.

We can vote for skirt. Of course. Much better. And if girlies would like express "yum" type comments, could they please keep the references strictly to members of their own sex.

Thank you.

Well, Christmas cheer to one and all

Anna, I am going to be alone this Christmas, sitting in eating a box of dates and watching Delboy and Rodney. Roll on the new racing season...


Ref: Eastenders. Beppe brushes his hair forward right from the back of his head in the style of someone who is going bald...does that make him attractive. Pat Butcher is the one for me....

PPS: True about Randon. For your information, you can drop the National from my title of National Racing Editor. I am now licenced to roam the globe (Rumours I will go to all the ALMS races lodged firmly in Ian McKellar Jnr's rectum are untrue)

There's an awful lot of gender-bending going on round here by all accounts. It's all very confusing to a young lad from the North.

Kat - nice eyes, good choice. (It'd be easier to say who isn't telly totty wouldn't it?)

Rarely am I moved to make comment in this way, but I'm afraid Beppe takes the biscuit.

Think of all the poor viewers that are hard of hearing. They still think Beppe is mute. He opens his mouth and nothing comes out.

Vote for the skirt, for goodness sake. You'd have to travel a long way to better Kat, if we're talking Eastenders.

Anna, you're a very naughty girl/boy (delete as appropriate)... I don't share.

Mutterings can still be heard about 'that' incident in the paddock at Rockingham. The luvvely Danny Watts stoped and waved whereas a media tartlet who shall remain nameless (it was you Anna) attempted to mow us down. Sad to say my friend can hold a grudge so you're chances aint looking good...

Cheers Jules - I was feeling a bit lonely! Martin Kemp? Hmm...Beppe just edges past in my opinion.

Unravelling the mystery - Monday, December 10, 2001 at 04:00:02 (PST)
Jules, men never stopped GAP voting for male tottiness, it was Anna.

Now, unless Anna is a transexual, actually named Gary from Swindon, it was a woman who stopped a woman from nominating a male. Post-feminism feminist? Possibly. :s

Unfairly condemned - Sunday, December 09, 2001 at 15:27:50 (PST)
Strike one for the ladies ... Martin Kemp aka Steve Owen in EastEnders gets my vote for top telly totty for women.

Shame on you guys for trying to stop the ladies voting for their faves as well ... didn't realise that this was a page for confirmed MCPs ...

Subjects, hearty banter! Well done!
I am commanded to furnish you all with my top tele tottie. I have a leaning towards the outgoing personality and bubbliness of young Catherine Deeley, but I can assure you I am far more upright when that gorgeous Channel Four presenter Amanda Stretton is doing a grid walk in her tight leather trousers and bending down next to a sexy Dallara F3 three car. Goodness, I need to pardon myself!

GAP: not passed over, I merely thought you were unavailable, being involved as it appeared from previous posting with one L.Luvvie. If you are free, then you and your mate. At the same time. For I have two sets of fingers and two knuckles. 'Winter mittens', as it was once described.

Ooh, Nigella Lawson. Kinda cute in a mature way. But she can cook. And some of her stuf looks better than mine, which is a big turny-on.

I hereby grant permission for my subjects to continue conversing in this usually lively forum.
Tis the time of year when motorsport has died. Long live motorsport, When will we meet thee again, swathed in clothes standing on a cold, eathy bank in Norfolk or Wiltshire or Cheshire. I may feign an interest in the Paris-Daakar Raid, but it will be merely a grasp into the nettle of motor sporting darkness which is the winter. What am I to do? Please, loyal subjects, stay strong throughout this time. I need your support. Will you all stand by me?

Ms Gurnett also deserves nuff respect for telly-tottiness. I think it could have something to do with the straight hair and nurses unifrom...

I have to agree with GAP tho, that as far as telly totty goes, Blue Peter could hardly be the place where it's at. Not since Janet Ellis has there been a lady on there worthy of my affection.

Arblist, I don't know what agreement you had with Jules, but you are a bad boy. Pay up, ya tight git. :p

GAP: the thought of Pierce Brosnan leaving you dripping wet ...

ps: you are not eligible to vote as I asked for suggestions of birds only, not blokes. please play by the rules.

I'd also like to vote for Jane Gurnett, her who played Rachel the nurse in Casualty, then went on to play the lesbian lover of a character in a mini-series called Little Women and is now the dame in Crossraods. Please, if you are reading this Ms Gurnett, could I come and take hold of you and make you into a bundle all for myself. You are, in my eyes, the sexiest woman on TV ever.

Anna Shacklady
- Wednesday, November 28, 2001 at 05:47:27 (PST)
Blue Peter? Hmmmm....not really a recognised source of telly totty is it.

After very close scrutiny of ITV's last two Bond films, Pierce Brosnan sneaks in as a foxy hotty with my vote.

It's a bizarre experience to suddenly feel the desire to leave your central heated house and travel to a foreign land to watch a few old bangers, but it meant I got out of two lectures on Friday afternoon Gap, imagine the jubilation! :)

Joy unbounded!
Subjects, may I draw your attention to a fantastic new Formula. Namely, that of Martin "jangle" Hines. Zip Formula.
The very name makes your heart race a bit faster. Single seater cars with the aerodynamics of a Caterham make for fantastic racing, and the victory of Edward Redfern in the opening encounter sets an encouraging standard for future drivers to aim at. Long may this continue!
I urge you, dear subjects, to visit the Kingdom of Brands this weekend to see for yourself these mouthwatering machines. No "I am at the rally" excuses will be pardoned.

If you compare rallying to horseracing, the former is obviously point-to-point racing, which isn't recognised as a real sport anyway. So stay home you'll see more there, than out in a bleak forest with a compass, thermos & day-glow jacket. Nubile and wanton femails don't generaly like the wind swept look, so you can't even pull there!

Matt your a true diamond, thanks for helping out, I'll get a reward out of Simon for you if it kills me!

Revolution! Damn right. Seek out those rally cars and fans, dear subjects, and destroy them.
This country of ours has progressed immeasurably under my fine leadership and pagan rituals, such as standiing in welsh forests wait for hours to see somone with as much driving talent as Judd Coupland in a jet-power shopping car trying to slalom between the trees is evil.
Ban this madness now.

France, Russia, Cuba: embedded in history and aiming for their achievements! - Thursday, November 15, 2001 at 18:00:43 (PST)
Rallying should be banned. It should not be allowed to take place. Who wants to go and see the Rally of South Wales anyway?
The reason racing people go so mad over it is because all the decent stuff has finished at this time of year (apart from the final rounds of the Formula Renault Winter Series and the Formula Ford Zetec Winter Championship).
Rallysrint stages are an admission by rally fans that they are wrong. To spice up being rallies and make them more spectator friendly, they run the cars, two-by-two, around a closed course! Surely that is racing? They've realised their sport has no appeal and to make it good they need to make it more like racing!
Rubbish!

Euaskadi? :s Where do they speak that? On the face of it, it looks like you made the better choice, even if it is dreary.

My modules: American history since 1890 (intensely dull, but compulsory), American Politics (kinda interesting, but the lecturer is partial to four long words when one small one would have done...). Broadcast Talk (which is tres cool and interesting) and Media and Popular Culture (Snobbish take on pop culture/Marxist theory on pop culture: intriguing!! :)

I told you Lizzie, it's a cruel and unusual punishment. I'm still trying to work out the crime. Obviously it was something awful - I'll have to think of something to redeem myself pronto.

Sorta, it was a choice between cultural rep and learning dialects like Euaskadi. It seemed like a good choice at the time. I also do Spanish Language, Italian Language and Italian Culture and Society - but they were all compulsory 'cos my degree is in Spanish and Italian. What about you?

I wish I'd done Media Studies it kinda fits in better with being a press officer then Spanish and Italian. I did it at A-Level though, that was quite good.

Spanish Cultural Representations - probably as bad as American Studies but it's all in Spanish! We do four weeks of Spanish Art, 4 of Spanish Political Music, 4 of Spanish/South American Literature and 4 of Spanish Cinema. All linked in to analysis of society at that time. It's a cruel and unusual punishment.

At home, under titanium shielding... - Wednesday, October 31, 2001 at 03:14:09 (PST)
Thank you all for your support, the results in a minute, first a few points....

1) NEVER say yes to the BBC doing an OB, but your boss will
2) NEVER plan to do anything for the BBC, as they will always change everything that you have built up to make life easy for you
3) NEVER wave to the cammera, esp when your live to 2.5 millon viewers
4) NEVER say 'I don't mind, what help do you need?'
5) DO say that you live under a curfew system and under court action you can't be out on the streets after 5.30pm and not allowed back on them before 9am.
6) DO NOT forget that very important meeting with the director the day before your on
7) Avoid eye contact with the clearly gay assistant floor manager, because everytime you do you know he is going to wink at you
8) Lock up all cans of Red Bull, and remember to take all the coffee home for safe keeping
9) Remember you have to wear the same outfit for the whole of the filming and you will be running round like a blue arse fly, buy 24hour deodorant and a jumbo pack of Fabreeze
10) Do not fall over or drop anything, good job I fell over off camera and I didn't drop anything, well not of theirs!

Now comp results....

In third place, nobody (shoddy work there Lizzie Luvvie)
In second place, F@bird
In First Place, with too much time on his hands, watching day time TV and eating too many donuts....drum roll please...**************....LAGER, WELL DONE CHAP!!!

Now since I don't see you too often, you don't drink and are giving the smoking up in 2002, may I donate the prize to F@bird as she is in dire need?

As for FPA - I didn't really mean that it 'produced' those drivers, just pointing out that they came through its ranks before getting where they are today.

I totally agree blaming the media was well off track though. How rude.

GAP: although drop ded gorg you clearly are still a fresher/too young to remember. That championship, you say, "produced" Danny Watts, Tim Mullen, Carl Breeze and Justin Wilson. I think you'll find they were around and all doing rather well prior to that. Ask all but one (and he has good reason not to), and they will each roll their eyes, take a breath and then reel off some true horror stories. I think one of them walked out after one race in pure disgust. Thursday 1 March 2001 was such a happy day in all our lives. One day you will grow to understand. And the man had the b****cks to blame the press ... Now, away from the spotlight and not under so much pressure, it appears to have done a lot better for itself. And I'm glad your chappie came third and hope he progresses to bigger and better things next season.

Can anyone tell me when the chestnuts are out and where's a good place to pick em.

Heroes:
1. Lager (plus Em and Titch) for giving me (and I'm sure all of us) so much motivation, smailes and genuine handshakes which are so lacking in our favourite sport.
2. Matty: cos he's one of the few breed of journos who really have racing in their blood and truly understand what it should be all about
3. Kimi: and he always will be
4. Anyone standing in the rain at the final BTCC round
5. GAP cos although she's still a 'fresher' she's got bags of enthusiasm
6. The three Dans: Mayo, Watts and Buxton
7. The Ebes: Jakob Ebrey and crew for putting up with sometimes awkward requests but he still gets on and does the job. extremely well.
8. Jim Edwards Jnr for driving a clapped out tank with a major fuel leak through a tyre wall and to Production class victory at Croft
8. Robert Dalghren and Murray Racing for sticking one up VD.
9. Clare Redgrave
10. Cliff Dempsey Racing for the whisky, er, sorry, coffees and Manor Motorsport for much gaiety.
Villains: one whose name I believe features extremely highly on 'that list'. him again. and again. and 20 times over again just for being such an arrogant, non-understanding, ferret faced little tw!! Jonathan Palmer: the same. Oh, and whoever nicked Martin Johnson's Mitsubishi Evo6 from Donington test day.

I'm doing that 'I remember you when you were this [indicates] big' thing that is so embarrasing. I drive a Rover, not an MG ZT. I'm one step away from comfy slippers, wooly cardigans and a coffin... ;D

I did send Anna a text msg (hopefully b4 she left hotel sans pass) but she didn't reply. Not even once. Not even to enquire about my welfare. *sniff*

I had a grand time in the Thistle tho. Its a bit posh for studenty types tho.

GAP - what can I say? I'm told you were there, but I didn't find you. Sorry :(

I like vultures. Kind of cute in a hard-to-understand-but-yeah-... kind of way. Plus they do that whole dopey appearance very well, like they've been having a puff on something a little more than Golden Virginia up in the sky.

Little tip for Lager: don't peck at windows. Food, yes. Trees, maybe. Other birds, at a push. But not windows. It just ain't cool in Bird World.

Lager, a) you're on to pointing out either myself or GAP, to each other, cause I don't have a clue :s. b) Thanks for rescuing a dead post (I owe you a coffe...or something stronger if you're around in the evening. :D

I think the subject matter is valid, to be honest.

My thoughts always turn skyward as we start to look forward to the winter months. I just wanted to bring the subject to the forefront of people's minds, so that they may start to think about maybe putting out some nuts, to help them through the chilly weather.

I had no idea it was about to cause any offence. Sorry.

Worying thing is, Matty knows my name, but I don't know his/him. Does this potentially put me in a dangerous position where he can blackmail me in the future when I am a media magnate?

How will I know where to find you GAP? I know the Paddockwoould be a safe bet, but given the number of blondes, who happen to be a strawberry shade of blonde..., who wander round the paddock this doesn't make my search easy. I on the other hand, am easily identifiable by my head-gear. Ask Lager.

Hello one and all. What marvellously amusing banter since my last post (the message, not the trumpet rememberance day thingy...).
I don't have any news to report I am afraid. It was just a visit to while away the hours in the office instead of working out which contributors go where this weekend and who to pick for Before They Were Famous this week. I reckon Jason Plato should be a good bet.
Anna really is a nutcase. I am deeply concerned by his/her emotional state. There is a lot of cross-gendering here...Lizzie, you know who you are (said with wa glint in the eye, along the lines of the "don't tell 'em your name Pike" bit in Dad's Army.
I am very annoyed about Lager's mention of Katherine Legge. You know I have an extremely large soft spot for her and I would appreciate it is you clear any future reference to her with me. Thanks me old Mucker.

Even less so since one of the dozy muppets I unfortunatley came across at said educational estrablishment last week nearly knocked my block off playing football in the middle of the Union. No it wasn't funny so you can all stop laughing. Right now. Yes Matt, that means you.

Mr James,

I feel love for the world. There is a Greater Being of Motor Sport who indeed smiled upon Corby on Saturday, (but teased us along a bit on Thrusday and Friday............).

Thursday and Friday were very difficult days fro everynone, but I am afraid I rather let the side down on Saturday. Maybe as a result of the build up and disappointments of Thursday and Friday, but when we "went green" on Saturday I blubbed like a baby.

I was close to doing the same when I was given the honour of hosting the presentations after the race on behalf of CART..........I truly felt privelieged.

Those cars are amazing - and so are the people from CART.

Mattie, you would have had big fever.

What happened was atrocious, catastrophic, but, I fear, had probably been coming for quite some time. While it shocked - for it took an awful lot of believing watching it on TV - it did not surprise. What a self-destructive race we are. Sadly, we're probably going to get an even greater dose of this as the allies prepare to retaliate. I also agree with Al - every bloody word, my friend.

I totally agree with the views of Mr James. The acts of terrorism in the States are terrable but its the loss of the true innocent lives that hurts the world the most. Alot has been said about a 'Pearl Harbour' this is not a real reflection of the situation. In my mind it is closer to the 'Bay of Pigs Missile Crisis'. Being that they don't really want to kick off WW3, but have to show that they can do something about this tragic corner they have been forced into.

Dear all,
Sorry to sound so cold-hearted, but, while I am deeply sorry for all those who lost their lives in the USA yesterday, but I have to think that the problems yesterday were partly the country's own fault.
The amount of unfounded rumours which the USA has acted on and hurt people of other nations is incredible. They went to cure human rights problems in Iraq? Stuff and nonesense, they wanted to guarantee cheap fuel...
The President's reaction to the bomb was to talk of the country's "innocence" and its "shining beacon of democracy". It is this attitude towards itself which causes most of the problems. The USA is not whiter than white, but the people who suffered were. That is the worst paradox of all.

It is truly horrific news, and I am very sad.

It makes me realise that sometimes the world can be horribly wicked and evil.

It also makes me realise the value of every smile that we have, and every happy moment that we share and enjoy with the people that we love.

I don't think that there can ever be any justice for something as awful as this.

I love all of my friends very much, and thank you for being my friends.

Silverstone BTCC is quickly approaching which means it must be time for more Lager-shaped mayhem in the pit-lane and paddock of the Northants circuit.
Just to clear up a wee (bit of confusion). Where's , Scare and Dare Lager are all running concurrently, which means that you win some dried fruit with a criminal bent by succeeding in said competitions. Good luck on those from the Absolutely No Control Panel.
This week's quest is entitled "Flares Lager". Players must bring their must outrageous pair of 1970s legwear to Silverstone and encourage Britain's best-loved motorsport talky person to slip into them (the trousers, not the player).
The more spangly bits the better, though width of flare must be within TOCA regulations.
Usual competition rules apply. Any similarity to any person living or dead is entirely coincidental. So there.

I want to claim my prize for the Where's Lager competition this week. No sooner had I slipped through the gates at Thruxton, eagerly awaiting my first interface of the weekend with Enid, than I came across Emma and Lager, so to speak. I have since consulted with the Where's Lager competitions panel (ie: Matt Burt, BoB) and discover that there is no prize.

Nagoya has been successfully negotiated. Plenty of stories to tell, from the bit about the Chinese massage in the back streets of Yokkaichi to the bird from Isreal who was selling necklaces in the street who gave us her number. Red light district - more like red light town! Karaoke bars, hostess clubs and two kinds of brothels apparently. I wouldn't know. I was just told. I am exhausted and empty now I have returned. Not that I got involved, that is just the way my emotions are, you understand. !2,200 miles is a long way to go for half a racing lap. Bloody Marcos engines. Horrah for TVR. Baggers

Don't know if anyone heard XFM yesterday teatime. This chappie goes on to do a quick-fire pop quiz. He's asked his name: "James Kent". DJ replies. "There's no need for language like that. Right here we go. Before we do, just remind us of your surname again." "C*nt," replied the guest. Stunned silence for about eight seconds. DJ: "I think that one backfired on me a bit didn't it." Lager, you're a DJ. Just warning you of what can happen. What's this about your new pyjamas? Viva Sheep On Drugs and Gay Bikers On Acid.

I'm sorry that I didn't see the Challenge until today - I had left before BofB (is that like Bod or Pob?) posted the challenge.

It would have been weekend to scare Lager then, seeing as how Lager was ignorant of the details......

Terry Grant took that award by the way. For a ten pound bet he ran over my foot yesterday. Fully. Ouch. He knows the price that he must pay.

And legends of another sort on the Guestbook - legends of GT Racing having a wizzy time over in Nippon Land! Boy, we're not jealous at all! Great to see new icons of the sport enjoying the ways of the GB Massive!

Any danger of a result being posted - or have you all already been sucked in by the alternative lures.

Quick Lager update - ASCAR give all their drivers nicknames. We came to interview Colin Blower. He was unaware of the handle he had been given, so he decided to suggest on mic that "B**w Job" was the most appropriate....

Commentator Keith Hewen then refererred to him all day as "BJ". At the end of the day, Lager interviewed "BJ" and suggested his earlier comment might well stick with him....

"I know, I wish I hadn't said it now! It was just a spur of the moment thing!".

"Just a slip of the tongue then...." said Lager.

Hmmm this is not like TOCA at all. Strange little cars, all naked, no windscreens, funny shaped wings stuck all over the place. They must be expecting a wet race cos all the tyres have got grooves in them. what a strange place. Its a bit like Knockhill here, none of the locals seem to speak english. This must be a cheep form of motorsport, fancy a motor race with no radio ststion! Ah just spotted Fish Hatstand Radiator, wonder what he is doing here? I don't like it here, no radio, no AA.com girls, just the Marlboro girls in skin tight PVC, its hell on earth!

I'm scared. Very. Nothing to do with the Eminem bit.

More to do with my search for a stick of crisp, fresh orange rock.

I've done the peppermint thing. It's old hat, quite frankly. Two a Penny. But orange is proving difficult.

This summer, I have now purchased a total of three sticks. Each and every one has been pitifully stale. Soft. Chewy, even.

This scares me a lot.

"I used to hate the sun, coz it shined on everything I'd done, made me feel like all that had done, was overfill the ashtray of my life."

Where's Lager? was so successful at Croft that this week there's a new competition. This one's called Scare Lager! and it involves jumping out on the talking one in a manner which makes him shocked. Perhaps from behind the wall of a pit garage, or by bursting out of an AA grid girl's false chest when he's doing his pre-race walkabout. (or even a thong).
Best one could potentially win a cash prize, but seeing as last week's cash prize has been drunk, don't hold your breath.

No no it's OK.

The hair was trimmed yesterday. Well overdue. I asked for a Doggie Bag, but they said once removed, hair becomes the property of the salon. I didn't want to get embroiled in some kind of rights issue, so I signed the clippings over. Without argument.

Nail clippings are easier. I have just bathed, clipped and shaved in preparation for the North East. I now have a clump of finger nails, and I'll pop them into a Jiffy Bag.

I thought toenails would be gross, to be honest.

This is a very weird place to be....I'm not sure I'm up to it. Anyway, I shall be participating with vigour in the "where's Lager" competition, and hope to secure ownership of that most sought after of prizes, entry into the Alan Hyde Fan Club. (or a free Big Mac, I'm not choosy)

"She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge"

I'm proud to announce there is a winner in this week's Where's Lager? competition.
Some eagle-eyed bloke called Lager spotted Lager on page 23 of this week's premier motorsport weekly Motorsport News. Well done Lager! Let's have a look at what you could've won...
Luckily there's more chances to win Where's Lager? this week as well, coz he'll be at Croft. There's gonna be a Where's Lager? Live roadshow - the first person to spot him roving the confines of the North Yorkshire circuit can win this week's cash prize. But we're gonna need a sample to prove you actually spotted him, ie a lock of hair, a fingernail or something. No purchase necessary, no cash alternative.

Brought that on, not bought that on, you stupid cow. If you're stuck, I'd be happy to give you private lessons, any time. Up the Gills. Paul Rivett is great. So is Claire Redgrave. So is Daniel Buxton's bird. And his siss. As too was his drive at Snett the other night. As so too was Keith Dempsey's by daylight. Pure guiness. Class in a glass. But best of all was Lager's laugh and Em's latexlover tinfoil top. Mr James, was a good thing you were not there, or you may have done something that the whole paddock might have come to regret. What exactly, I don't know, I just had this vision ... Lager knows. ((in Hannibal voice for effect):I bit deep into the top of her ankle. It sent a shiver down the back of her calf and into her knee and thigh. She couldn't ...)

If you do, you'll find yourself turning into one of those 'wimmin', a la Milly Tant or whatever she was called in Viz (great mag,e specially the 0898 ads in the back). Am I confused?

Jules, Max is far from a little brat. It would have been far more accurate to call her a little bird, to which she herself admits (not bad for someone who is not even three yet! Wonder who taught her to say that...?).
I wish peace upon this site, and offer my body as an oliver branch to any female who requires it (the two in question included). Amen.

"You can't dangle the bogus carrot of reconciliation in front of me while simultaneously riding some other donkey"

Just a quick note to warn/tell everyone that there's a picture of Lager in this week's issue of the best motorsport publication in the entire world. (it is on page 23 of Motorsport News too).

A new game has been discussed - it is called Where's Lager? and it is a bit like Where's Wally?, the entertaining stroke educational stroke visually stimulating kid's game. Lager will appear in some form of publication every week from now until the end of eternity and there's a cash prize for the first person to "spot him" each week.

He's in MN this week – I spotted him and I wish to claim my prize. No correspondence will be entered into.

Jules- having only the evidence of being brained with a rattle to go on, then sorry but yes I was referring to your daughter.

Not that there was any need to defend Matt as I did answer his quesion the first time, but I'm sure she's very nice anyway.

Natural blonde and intelligent - I don't like the 'typical woman' comments either. But as Matt was no doubt not at all serious, neither was I...

Cheese - strictly a lunch time snack, preferably with a bit of crusty bread, some ripe sliced tomato and maybe just a few sprigs of thyme and marjoram from Provence. And a shake of ground black pepper.

Or as an early-morning/post-boozing snack inside a toastie - its all up to personal preference really! :)

Its quite freaky reading the latest instalments of 'guestbook', I feel I know who some of the ppl on here are but can't really just go asking.

Al-meister, need to have wordies with you at Croft to check out 'stuff'.

I worked out the dude with 'good news' btw - does he know who I am tho? I dunno. BUt as long as he isn't chatting to me on knockhill grid, wearing lycra, I don't care. I din't mind the chat, it was the lycra... Photo's confirmed later what my mind had managed to deny acces to in the data-banks. :s

He's just not himself lately, is he? He really is suffering after the recent loss of his friend, (namely, The Hooden Off The Stage Public House, Tunbridge Wells).

I think we need to be sensitive to this for a little while - don't worry about being "rounded on" GAP - you can easily win him over again with the judicious use of a few blokey girl related words. It won't take much - I'll leave the choice of words up to you.

I am in emotional turmoil at the moment because of the passing of one of the greatest institutions known to man (and am equally upset that Zippy never took the time to share it with me). I need comforting, not a slagging off. Anyone who feels sympathetic to my cause, join with me as we round on GAP for her evil attitude in my time of sadness

Zippy/Anna appears to have found another (story of my life that) so no, I didn't cross over to the dark side.

Poor Lager, fighting of thirty seven kisses and needs a holiday - its a hard life but what can say? You cope with it well.

I'm having one of those days, you know......

There are many serious points raised here that I feel I must attend to without further procrastination.

This is mainly because I'm too sleepy to deal with anything else that may vaguely resemble work.

Julsey Babe: forget Arbelist's money. He was under the misapprehension that the bidding thing was a joke.....He’s mortified.

Mr Collins: I am not worthy of this praise. (Oh, you were joking with the praise bit). And as for the donkey, you haven't tried the right Peugeot, mate.

Cornish: Brands Thong.

Lizzy: The clock bit has spooked me big style. Do you eat cheese late into the evening?

Mattie: You are and always will be Mattie. But I preferred the pseudonyms......they added a mysterious Mattie quality.

GAP: I am jealous of the hols bit. In a big way.

Susie X: That's thirty-five kisses that I'd like to collect, please. Thirty-seven if you count the name ones as well. I'll pucker up and close my eyes in eager anticipation.......

Anna: I’m glad we’ve taken it one stage further – dinner AND a pre-weekend fag!

I think that should have been 'turn on by' not 'turned to'. Having been overcome by Madame Horné's pouting face and electronical persona (my orgasmameter has gone off the clock) at the weekend I wish to know, as a regular observer of this fine site, if she will be addressing the world. I hope she wants too as much as I would like to undress her or just see her undress herself. Up the Gills.

I have decided to drop all pretence in terms of name and email address.
The reason for this move: I am in total awe and admiration of the recent postings on this site. To be specific, that of Ian Collins.
The man is a genius. He has created one of the most listen-to-able shows on the radio and gets better with every broadcast. For the uninitiated, I must point out that Collins is a DJ on TalkSport radio every weekday morning from 1am-5am. Ian Collins and the Creatures of the Night has helped me through many a sleepless morn.
For those who’ve yet to have the pleasure, I suggest you listen in (1089 and 1053am). It is a true national institution.
I am humbled to post next to Mr Collins (who I have listened to since I was a young teenager) and it was even more of a pleasure to meet him for the second time on Friday. Mr Hyde, you have made one of my dreams come true.
Now, come on Nikki and Emma and make the other one a reality!!

Despite many rumours to the contrary, Alan Hyde is one of the nicest blokes in the world. This is official. He may have a bad taste in cars, a weird sense in dress and silly job following grown ups racing in little cars, but I reckon he's OK. If anyone thinks otherwise then they'd better be prepared to deal with me. Ignore all the rumours (in any case, you can't fit a donkey in the passenger seat of a Peugeot) He's one top bloke and it's a pleasure to know him.

Rest in peace, my child.
You shone brightly with a warmth and a allure like no other. You comforted us through the hard times. You were our friend when all others have let us down. We've poured our hearts out to you, and you have always been there to listen. The truest friend.
When the music was playing and the people were dancing, you smiled along with us all.
You helped people come together. You followed them through their trials and tribulations and stood firm all the while.
We all owe you a massive debt, yet have no-one to put our arms around and physically comfort. We may have taken you for granted, but, rest assured, your memory will live on.
So go forth, administrators, and rip the heart out of one of the greatest institutions this man has ever known.
RIP

I've only just returned to the AHFZ after many, many weeks away and I was disturbed to read so many postings praising Matt James of Motorsport/ing News fame. I have had many dealings with said Kentish person and there are a few things that I should bring to light for the benefit of the members of this zone who have been hoodwinked by the bearded one.
Firstly, he keeps emitting enormous chuffers from his bottom which really, really smell. I feel sympathy for his obviously twisted and tangled innards, but I can't stand it when he wafts his gas in my direction.
Secondly, he is obviously completely bent. And has a beard.
I hope I have shown you all the light.

what a shite gp. i wonder if we'd be saying that had someone decided not to 'improve' the original copse, stowe and club corners and then put in a chicane at abbey. and as for the complex - hardly the stadium section at hockenheim is it (even brundle slagged off luffied on sunday). martin, please make them get a move on and instead of abbey being a right left kink onto the new infield bit, can't it just be a long right sweeper. and please get rid of that naff left kink into the new banked club so we might one day see f1 cars doing what they're supposed to - going fast, slipstreaming and overtaking. any thoughts?

Great Scott, Arbelist! I am not removing my apparel for anyone. I do not think that you are a gentleman, sir! Tsk, tsk. By the way, as it is for a good cause, I will raise the bidding to £10 and I don't even know who El Presidente is! However, the thought of a grown man cuddling a baby dolly does cause one some amusement.

I'm sure everyone will agree, that was a fascinating little insight into the hurly burly of The Motorsport News Press Day following the British Grand Prix weekend. Thank you, El Presidente. One omission however - I think everyone should have their attention drawn to Motorsport News' contents page. It is an oft-overlooked feature, but once investigated, it most certainly becomes compulsive weekly reading...........

Jules Wah, I would like to bid £5 for the picture of El Presidente. GAP, a few of my buddies will be at donnington running the PA, but they have said that they are going to implement the EQUITY rule that "if the crew and cast outnumber the audience, the show may be cancelled". Could be a very quiet couple of days then......
El Presidente, I will uncover myself to the world, as long as Lady PP does as well!

My comments refer to the good weekend fortunes of Fish Hatstand Radiator - see how the advice of the Guestbook Massive works? Trust in the Formula, you know it makes sense. We all had lovely time at Silverstone, although some major players from the Guestbook were missed greatly....you know who you are. Rodge was there, and we love Rodge. (By the way, Nokia Predictive Texting always suggests "Podie" as the first choice name for "Rodge", even though I have added "Rodge" to the dictionary). We love Podie.

A weekend off, consorting with Alcohol and food. Watching GP on tele. Then switching to the ELMS in time to see Tom Coronel's huge accident and then the Champ Car race, which reminded me just how shit Americans are at motor racing. What a weekend of bliss. Are there any stories to had from this weekend? Did Anna or Carl McKellar or Zippy Monkeybuns? Did Lager's dulcet tones have females swooning? Was GAP enjoying herself and more importantly, did the flourishing romance between Arbelist and Lady Penelope Pitstop get consumated. (I have also just realised that the latter two didn't come clean during our purge on false names - I think we should issue them with a yellow card. Any thoughts?)

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

I would like to go on record as a character reference for Mr Matthew James EP, JGR, BGB. I have spent many an hour with Mr James conversing in matters of his personal life. I am not prepared to divulge the contents in public but rest assured that he is most definitely heterosexual with a healthy interest in the female human species. At no time has he ever given me cause to believe that he is gay, perverse or any way abnormal with regard to sexual activity.

The defence rests, m'lud.

PS. That'll be a large rum and coke, bloke!

I wish to go on record and say that Mr James is not a gay man. Not in the sense of homseckshuals. I have, however, found him to be among one of the more pleasant indivudials I have come across (in a nice arc, so to speak), so in this sense of the word gay, indeed its proper meaning as used many a time on celluloide by the likes of garbo, astaire, swanson, barrymore, I do find him to be of 'gay character', ie a pleasant man. I wish I could be more like him. just in case, however, might i suggest he checks out adele stephens by going to thirdpage.co.uk and click on 'enter third page'. ruddy marvaileuse it is.
ANNA SHAGLADY
Just finished with Nikki Wade - pulling out the spiders leg from in between my teeth - Monday, July 09, 2001 at 09:26:27 (PDT)
I would like to pursue the matter with Anna. I quote defamation by inunendo. "A statement may be innocuous on the surface, but be defamatory to those with special knowledge.
For example, for someone to say Mr James is a gay man is obviously not defamatory - but, if other readers know that he is a hetrosexual, such a statement is defamatory because it imputes he is sexually dishonest."
You see, Anna, it is not the words themselves I have a major problem with, it is the sentiment behind them.
At this stage, and to help my defence, I would like any female on this site who would like to help my case to step forward and offer themselves as evidence (providing the aforementioned act was forthcoming).
Even without this evidence, I will hound you and hound you and hound you Anna to the gates of Oulton Park - and possibly even beyond.
Get away with your evil words.

Yours without litigation

The comment thus: "never had sex with ... any type whatsoever and all" is meant as a continuous reference to the male population of the planet. I was merely trying to defend the right honourable genulmen's sexuality and promiscuiousness but instead have fallen on my own sword (ooer). ps: i doubt you'd make it stick in a libel trial as it was clear to any right thinking member of society this is what i was trying to achieve so no malice (one of the three things that must be proven in a libel case) was evident on my part. you tell him lager. in fact, EP, stop being such a silly spanner. you tell him lager.

I refer to the comments of Anna which read thus: "never had sex with a man or male being or any type whatsoever and all ..."
To this, I object. I have had sex with an "any type whatsoever and all..." It implies that I am, at the grand old age of 28, a virgin in every sense of the word.
Anna, please stop these horrible accusations. I mean, have you got a full record of everyone you've ever slept with?
I, on the other hand, have. I hired a bloke to do the report specially. All he did was hang around my hedge all day. Then I realised, much to my chargrin, he was a privat investigator. Must get that typewriter fixed.
Anyhow, anymore allegations such as that, Anna me old mucker, and it is a libel suit for you. And I know all about those now.

Work is ongoing on the new bits for the website, it's coming along very nicely. The Arblist is a true genius! Also, somebody e-mailed me some pictures of the launch do at Silverstone last year, they might have to make an appearance too.

One thing is bothering me amongst all this though. I reckon I 'know' one of the babes in the photos, although I have absolutely no idea where from. The picture was taken at Oulton Park by the looks of it (big trees, very green), so it's plausible I guess.

Anyway, I was wondering whether I require professional help, and is it expensive?

Personally, if it was I looking through images of the bevvy of beauteez/huniz then I think i'd be bored 'stiff', not rigid... I suggest you start right now with one of GAP in her tight-fitting, buttock-clenching (but fake of course and second hand) laydihozzzen. Thy're great and so is paul rivett

About webby updates - I could only come up with one requirement. Babe Corner. A chance for Arbelist's photographic genius to come to the fore, and share with everybody the stunning artistic images captured at various motorsport events during 2001. It would of course, be done purely in the name of art. Not just www.theAA.com girls, but even pleasant and interesting images of female contributors to this very web page. No male pics, I'm afraid - we can’t keep pandering to the whims of El Presidente. I've run it past the Webby Bloke, and he's well up for the increased workload. Hours of sifting through hard copy will no doubt bore him rigid, but he seems to think he can cope. Now it's up to Arbelist to make the necessary contacts……

Right. See the problems you caused Webster, EP? Look at the hard work he had to do, just because of you? Keep it real, and respect the Webby Bloke.

You are most welcome El Presidente. I hope to see it in print one day soon (hint, hint). So did everyone enjoy Donington? I saw both Anna and Zippy and I have to say the standard of behaviour was quite impressive. Not a hint of flirtation in sight. Nor sadly was there any coffee and biscuits but the GP coverage was greatly appreciated. I also interviewed Anna's very favourite driver for a future article, so keep an eye out everyone...

Double posts are possibly to do with the length of this page, so I'm going to prune it a little in a moment. Old entries will be in the archives at the bottom. News page and pictures - bugger, looks like I'll have to dig out the HTML editor and start to write those then. Nobody else seems to want to help. Now, where did I put those pictures?!
The Webmaster Bloke <webmaster@alanhydefanzone.co.uk>
At work, wondering if Monday is "The National Have A Go At The Webmaster Bloke Day" today... Also recovering from sunburn, being viciously attacked with a 6ft inflatable rubber drill and a longing gaze from a female racing driver yesterday... (in my dreams quite possibly) - Monday, July 02, 2001 at 05:19:36 (PDT)
Lager a) It was not a gramatical mistake, you bastard. b) web bloke needs censuring for his lack of provision of a news page which he did promise - ages ago and c) bollocks. There, three things you can't argue with!

Not at all, because you now further add insult to injury, by again behaving like a novice by posting the same message twice, albeit with one tiny correction of an infantile grammatical error. AND THEN start blaming the guru that is The Webby Master Bloke by suggestion that your mouse control ineptitude can be blamed upon his html page layout. Leave it out, you're at fault. No question. Report to the Clerk’s office immediately. Do not pass go and do not collect 200 B&H.

I can explain my last posting! I was filling in my details, and all that, when my mouse slipped and went on to the alanhydefanzone.co.uk banner on the side. It automatically posted the message, although I hadn't completed it. I was under time pressure (it being a press day Monday (thanks for the release, GAP)) and couldn't post again until now. Does that satisfy?

I am deeply appalled by the standard of that last posting, El Presidente. Hurt even. I have come to expect more from a seasoned poster such as yourself. You don't think it may have been an impostor, do you, leaving a clue trail displaying traits of guest book inexperienece.......
