Not sure about the chicken entrails...... unless some of the drivers are using them to throw on the track to remove the competition.... perhaps that will be a new trick for MS

I would have thought getting married would help settle Jacques

I didn't pick him this round cause I don't think the BMW is strong at Silverstone.

Michael's tricks, well you never know with that guy what he'll come up with

I want to give TV frequency that Broadcast F1 live and free to air that most free to air channels don't live FP2+3

Al Jazeera Sport Channel -Nilesat (7 w) - 12284 V 27500-3/4

They broadcast live free practice 2 + 3 and quali + race

Commentary is Arabic but both post quali. and race driver interviews with no commentary

Enjoy?

Best advice I can give would be to have a close look at my picks and then do something completely different. I am going terribly.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to go out on a limb.
I tell everyone to back Alonso and I pick Kimi.

jacfan · Post by **jacfan** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:53 pm

Well thanks for the advice and I will consider it

but I think I might have to follow hubby's advice in future. He did ok this time and he is ranked 47th for the year so far.

unlike me who is languishing back in 219 for the year.
