Today it's qualifying for Monaco. Programme at 12:10 and action from 1pm.
NO.....NO......and erm NO!!! talk about a bloody yawn fest, round n round n round etc for HOURS, and now n then once in a while someone overtakes another driver, except in Monaco where whoever is infront after the first bend usually wins,
Then theres the edge of ya seat excitement of knowing that so n so is lapping at one zillionth of a second faster than some other overpaid git, AND in 4 hours time they just MIGHT actually overtake them,
nope, give me BIKE racing anytime, not that I am a huge fan of that either, but at least they actually RACE each other,
in F1 I have fallen asleep watching it, woke up 2 hours later and NOTHING has changed,
yawnsville city Arizona..........well, you DID ask.

OH yeah I mean loads of people like it n best of luck to em, but the OP did ask, n I HAVE tried to like it I really have, us blokes are supposed to like it,
but I have never been able to watch ONE race from start to finish without nodding off, honestly.
I have selected four racehorses to take part in my unlucky 15 bet and thus will be watching their progress this afternoon.

I know what you mean, but I got the bug by going to the Nuerburg Ring and watching it by the side. So now I'm hooked.
Hubby is - I'm not.
Watched it one year in Monte Carlo and I've never been so bored in my life. Would much rather have been in the Casino!!

No, but my claim to fame is coming a spectacular bottom place in the last GBBF Fantasy FI thingumybob 
Aww OHG, you do it an injustice. Most of the races only last about 90 minutes and if they do last longer they will be stopped after 2 hours.quote:Originally posted by old hippy guy:
