MUFC

Final episode of the client.

John Lewis, seems reasonable and a safe bet.

Sun is shining in Manchester.

Didn't like last night, not over-keen on back stories and I found it over emotional with Ricks daughter. 

Whats the highest level you played F1 2018 on? I got to 98%, and it become really hard. Even in the Merc or Ferrari I was getting 7th at best, and starting between 15th and 18th on the grid.

Anyone used Sterling FX Travel money? They are cheaper then everyone, exchange wise.

Want some races this year where it is raining, full wets having to be used for a full race. We not had this since Brazil 2016, we had light rain in a race and also rain in qualifying. But not during a race.

Vettel on Lewis.

Why can't they call Hulkenberg Hunk?

Renault coming back as a works team was a bad idea in my opinion. Due to their budget they will struggle, they should have stayed as an engine supplier. that way they could have poured all their resources into the engine, and RB would pour money into car development.

Well that's a big statement haha. I'll be watching it this weekend, looks decent.

Wish I kept quiet now lol, pressure is on.

Anyone seen Triple Frontier on Netflix? What a classic.

I will look into it mate as I'm going to need to get some changed myself due to going to Dam again in a couple of weeks.

Eurochange is local so that's the main reason I use them.

Where are you off to pal? Anywhere decent?

I was originally planning to go to Barcelona for this trip for 3 days, but the flights and everything works out pretty shit now unless I flew from Liverpool(which is a farce to get to if getting a train, Manchester is far easier), although since this is the third time I've been to Amsterdam in the last 3.5 months, I'm going to have to head somewhere else next time definitely. I probably won't go to Amsterdam again until December now and will go somewhere else inbetween, probably somewhere in Spain but I've also been flirting with Lisbon since I've never been to Portugal and think it's a country(and City in terms of Lisbon) that would suit me. @Machado would also be up for a beer, unlike @Panna King who won't hit De Wallen with me when I'm in his city...

 

Dubai for 10 days, do you chong when you go to Amsterdam?

It's true that Monaco race often turns into a procession but one of the main reasons why I love it is the fact that it shifts the focus extremely to the pure skills of the driver, particularly to the ability to drive at the limit with extreme precision and leaves zero margin for errors. The driving has to be very accurate and consistent, the track has a lot of elevation changes and corners and close walls etc. that makes it so unforgiving. 

Oh and the setting of course is absolutely beautiful.

True how skilled you have to be, but knowing how the top 10 will finish really early in the race makes it an anti-climax. I suppose it has its history and heritage in F1, but you are almost begging someone to take a risk and overtake.

I still love Monaco. 

If you go then fair enough, the scenery etc. Its a track the drivers really love due to it being really challenging, but if your at home, its a shite spectacle, like watching  a Mourinho team. Monaco is for the rich white man, and Abu dhabi is for the rich brown man.

If I remember rightly there's a pretty decent track in South Africa that the MotoGP used to go to waaaaaaaay back in the day. 

More US races would be crap, Austin is the worst one on the calendar IMO despite others liking it. Not sure about China either, I like Shanghai but really? Let's have some variety. Let's go to Portugal, Netherlands, Argentina etc. Not multiple races in one country.

Not the variety but it comes down to tracks and overtaking. At least in Austin you can overtake, same with Malaysia. The shite ones for me are Australia, Monaco, Hungary, Singapore,  Germany and Abu Dhabi. 

Anyone seen Triple Frontier? Watching it on Netflix tonight.

He comes across as a complete bellend in interviews. Proper backward silver spoon ballbag.

Any pics?

Stroll is good in the rain, now he really needs to kick on.

Eurochange

but the rates are still shit wherever.

 

 

 

Nice one, you heard of Sterling FX Travel money? Seems to offer the best.

Just now, nudge said:

The point for fastest lap is only awarded if the driver finished in top 10!

Fair play, but would you be hacked off if you lost the title due to somebody getting the quicker lap? You could use it to rack up points knowing you not going to make up places. Each to their own I suppose.

Now official... Starting with Australian GP, one point will be awarded to the driver who achieved the fastest lap of the race and to the constructor whose car they were driving, providing that the lap time was achieved without incurring a penalty and the driver was in the top 10 positions of the final race classification.

Imagine you having a bad race, lingering around 12th with 8 laps left, no chance of getting any points. You could just pit=stop, new fresh wheels and grab an easy point. 

Anyone recommend any places for good exchange rates? 

Gridlocked - Was a cross between Die Hard and Assault On Prescient 13. First 10 minutes was thinking this will be shite, but once they were in the building it was really tense. It's on Netflix.
