MotoGP slammed
Self appointed 'longtime F1 fan' Wayne Piddock was left angry and confused yesterday, after a scheduling mix-up led to him watching the MotoGP world motorcycle Grand Prix from Mugello yesterday. Piddock, the self styled 'biggest petrolhead in Insurance' (Midlands region), settled in expecting a Formula One Grand Prix. It became apparent to Wayne after barely a lap that there had been an awful domestic television faux pas."I don't know what the bloody hell they think they were playing at" fumed a clearly incensed Piddock. "The first corner was just a free for all. For most of the race they were swapping places like maniacs, I honestly couldn't tell who was going to win until the thingy flag was waved."
"Downright dangerous, and stupid" was the verdict. "It was a far cry from the elegant unfolding game of chess that typifies F1 I can tell you. The beautiful ebb and flow as they circulate for 34 laps and then see who's guessed right with the pitstop timing. The edge of seat drama as we see who comes out of the pits in front for the next 33 lap stint."
Piddock is carefully ensuring no such mistake will mar his enjoyment of the British Grand Prix. "We need to get behind Button as a nation. It's been a while since we've had a British driver with the talent of Hill or the devil may care charisma of Mansell."

Wayne can rub his sore brainbox better with the knowledge that F1 confusion will be reduced even further by going to a single tyre supplier in 2007. Better still why not just decide things with a televised tactical show down between Brawn and Briatore playing paper scissors stone.

What's more, I hope that they finally settle this business of who has the best football team once and for all this summer and then maybe we'll hear no more about it and be able to get on with our lives in peace

I was hoping that we'd get an England Germany rematch.
Wouldn't it be lovely if at half-time they put the football away for an hour, came out onto the middle of the pitch, and engaged in brutal trench warfare.
Then resumed.

Chris - this is for you, just picked it off the MSN news - Doctors in Chicago have given a medical term to road rage - "intermittent explosive disorder"

Doctor Zhivago's done what now?

I uhderstand there's a Poland Germany rematch

I think the Germans like to think of that as a domestic match.

For those who think James Allen cannot broadcast his way out of a paper bag, try watching coverage of the WRC. The inane commentary by two cretinous voice over artistes demonstrating their cluelessness of the sport and its participants from a shit pokey studio somewhere in meejaland is probably the most depressing thing you can hear on TV at the moment. Imagine Eurostrash commentary played straight and it's still nowhere close to the aural violation you will endure. Where's that bottle of scotch?
