you did WHAT to the barrier at Monaco?

Filed under: Life

Hamilton being interviewed about how at Monaco you often brush (or kiss) the barriers round the circuit as they are just so damned close to the track remarked that he French kissed the barrier in practice when he crashed.  Cue 2 adults falling about with laughter at this wonderful new term to discribe stuffing your car into the barrier and 1 bemused child demanding what was so funny.  How *exactly* do you explain that one with your dignity intact emoticon

 

Essay still unfinished and I’m at Oulton tomorrow so I’m just going to push on with the rest of the course, do a bit of knitting and return to hunt for the remaining 500 words during hte week.  Hvae got til mid June to nail this one but I want to get back ahead so I can start working up revision stuff as we hvae the exam topic sheet now (yes I know how wierd that is, getting your topics in advance but the scope of this course is so wide that they take pity and give us some braod strokes to work within.)

did I mention I don’t like writing essays?

I’ve written the grand total of 500 words in the last 2 hours.  a goodly chunck of which is quotes from our primary sources (which should get me a tick on the learning outcomes at least)  Only another 500 to find but all I have left is the conclusion….. 500 words concluding that Wordsworth is more influenced by ideas of beuty and the sublime whereas Havell is firmly in the camp of hte picturesque?  Bah, I’m sure I read somewhere that a short but detailed essay could get just as good a mark as one which was closer to the word limit….

quick quiestions for Helen
