The British Grand Prix (Zoooooom!)

[Trigger]

The British Grand Prix at Silverstone was disrupted by a protester who forced his way on to the track and walked into the path of the high-speed Formula One cars.

The man was wearing a kilt and a tam o'shanter and found his way on to the fastest part of the track, the flat-out Hangar Straight.

He paraded in the middle of the track, and forced several cars to take avoiding action.

Race officials scrambled to safety car to reduce speed and prevent overtaking while a steward finally ended the protest, rugby-tackling the man to the ground.

He was led away by police and the race resumed.

Almost hit by Coulthard.

Good race actually. A lot of overtaking.

what a tit

I was there Friday. It's piss easy to get onto the track if you really want to.

It was a great race with a surprising amount of overtaking happening. Don't know what the runner was protesting about, he was clearly an idiot on two counts though as he could have got killed, and the signs he wrote were so poor that the were actually unreadable!!!

 

[stretch]

so it was'nt Jackie Stewart then ?

 

[tinx]

You've got to have a screw or two loose to stand in front of a car going 200 miles an hour......


What a twat!!!

I thought he was protesting about the sale of Lord Bob

 

[Simster]

I thought he was a tit. Just like anyone else who paid a ton to watch a few cars parade around a track.

Dull.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It was FG.

Shame Coulthard missed.

Apparently his placard was encouraging people to read the bible. Definitely mad then.

You've read it then?

What a race. It had it all - loads of overtaking, a mad Bible basher acting as a human chicane, and Schumacher M. failing to get on the podium. Top stuff.

It was in the 'papers, Juan. Apparently it read 'The Bible is always right. Read the Bible'. Presumably he'd fixated on the verses in the New Testament which encourage lunatics to do their evangelising on 200mph straights during motor races. My Bible's a bit patchy, so I can't quote the exact bit.

 

[Dunkstar]

It was a relative of Cameron from Big Brother i heard!

 

[Theatre of Trees]

You've read it then?

The bible or the placard?

 

[Juan Albion]

Well which one is it you are criticising?

 

[JEM]

The Bible. A Hebrew soap opera.

 

[brighton rock]

what a nutter

 

[Juan Albion]

The Bible. A Hebrew soap opera.

Tis indeed.

I've read it from cover to cover & I still can't tell who done it.

Spose I'll have to stick to the Janet & John series. Trouble is, they never get it on together.
