Can I say here and now that I’m tremendously concerned about David Beckham’s possible tendon injury.
I am very pleased that GMTV chose to lead with this story this morning. What would I have done without this impact in my life?
I see that the sport section of the BBC News website has the oxymoronic headline: Beckham poised to miss world cup. Brilliant. Someone went to school to end up writing shit like that?
Anyway, while I was reeling from the news of this devastating blow to England’s world cup chances, I was amazed to hear the GMTV sports monkey presenter go on to say that despite not having the fastest car, Chewbacca drove well for Mercedes in yesterday’s Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix.
I spent a nanosecond or two wondering how Chewbacca managed to fit in to an F1 car and then I realised my mistake.
The sports monkey presenter meant Michael Chewbacca – who is, of course, the younger (and shorter) brother of the more well-known, Star Wars-famed Wookie.
How could I be so stupid?
Tsk.
F1 is the second dullest sport in the world and is only classed as less dull than cricket because it doens’t go on for actual whole days at a time. Wooo, car goes whizzing past. Wait….wait…wait…woo car goes whizzing past. Dull.
I’m still gob smacked that you watch GMTV.
The Beckhams are the second most severe irritation foisted on the US by Merrie Olde. The first, by mad King Georgie, fomented a revolution. This one may yet.
Even as an extreme motorhead, I find most motorsports horribly boring to watch. F1 moreso than NASCAR. At least NASCAR has the occasional vehicle attempting to set an altitude record.
Dunno why, but I quite enjoy F1 now (never used to).
And all the team changes and rule changes this year, lead to the possibility of this being the most exciting season for a long time.
But if yesterday’s race is anything to go by, it’s gonna be as dull as dishwater
Yesterdays race does not bode well for an exciting season.
