He's been tremendously successful and has an unblemished record as a gentleman as well as a sportsman.
With Mercedes reliability somewhat suspect (2 DNFs for Hamilton, 1 and a limp across the line in Canada for Rosberg) the season could end up being surprisingly easy for one of the, but my suspicion is it will go down to Abu Dhabi. Another race or two like Bahrain would really fire the public's imagination (hard to believe that dog of a circuit produced such a fantastic race).
Incidentally, I watched the Senna documentary for the first time last night. Very well put together, but had a touch of the panegyric about it. Not being into the sport at the time, it's hard to say if Prost deserved his casting as villain.
Who can forget Jonny Wilkinson and that drop goal that made 50 odd million English people simultaneously climax.
Prost is a Frog, that's all you need to know, is understandable why he was cast as the villain.
HurstLlama Indeed, as I said his policy was to 'waffle and show concern if necessary but ultimately prevaricate and do nothing'
On your broader point, not sure if that is entirely true, eg Gulf War 1 was a success which achieved its objective of ousting Saddam from Iraq, the Korean War kept the South free from Communism. What is true, as Hillary said, is the US will go in as 'liberators' if necessary, but the US has no appetite to be occupiers as the British Empire was.
Of course, we did have our own little 'triumph' when we ousted Argentina from the Falklands
Socrates It was Sarkozy and Cameron who pushed Gaddaffi's removal, with Obama reluctantly tagging along behind. On Iran, the jury is still out, though at the moment it is Iran which is the main bulwark against ISIS backing Assad and Al-Maliki, not Obama and the US
Mr. HYUFD, if someone could explain how the removal of Gaddaffi was in the interests of the UK I would be grateful. What the *k Cameron though he was doing is quite beyond me.
The reason given to oppose Gaddaffi was that he was bombing his own people.
Could someone write up the etiquette guide here? Bombing another country's people is OK, but it's considered bad manners to bomb your own?
There wont be any planes capable of flight for it probably ever. The F-35 is incapable of flight due to its crappy engine but the UK is still forking a fortune for it.
HurstLlama Well, I suppose Gaddaffi was behind Lockerbie. But regardless of interests, it was the UK and France which pushed action, not Obama and the US

The UK and France pushed action, but not to the extent needed to do the job. When Obama decided to get involved, he pushed for a much broader mandate as part of the UN resolution.

Depends on the reasons you're bombing your own people.
I still get a tingle when I see this, honestly, winning a 5/6 nations is nothing compared to this, as only Scots. Irish, Welsh, French and Italian English fans know the feeling.
HurstLlama Well, I suppose Gaddaffi was behind Lockerbie. But regardless of interests, it was the UK and France which pushed action, not Obama and the US
Well the hidden truth is that it was probably the PLO not Gaddaffi behind it, the CIA knew about it a few days in advance but failed to track the right plane, Gaddafi was accused because he was the boogeyman in that period between Perestroika and Noriega.

France and Britain pushed for action for political reasons, they were down in the polls and thought a war victory will push their numbers up like the falklands, but it didn't. Sarkozy still lost and the tories are still behind Labour.
I was talking to someone involved in Yorkshire political circles the other day, and he confidently stated "Clegg is toast". He thinks the rest of us don't realise how much Mr Clegg is disliked in Sheffield. If he does lose his seat it will make a Lab/LD coalition easier to organise.

I was waking up next to a 20yr old girl from work that morning, after a work night out... the rugby was on the telly but I wasn't watching!
Those were the days
The daily mail have noticed the lack of Asian, black, polish and Chinese characters in Eastenders... It really is bordering on racism the portrayal of the east end as a mainly white British area, but if the programme was accurate I think the country would say wtf?
Speedy, possibly, but Gaddaffi also actively funded and supplied the PLO
Sandy Cable or Farron would lead the LDs in a Labour coalition anyway in all likelihood. However, if Clegg loses his seat and the Tories remain largest party with no majority, Laws, Browne or Alexander (if he holds his seat) would be alternatives

If he loses his seat there wont be a need for a coalition, Labour would have won a majority.

Pardon me but that is just rubbish. Britain and France pushed for action because the population of Bangazi was slated for being slaughtered. Your timeline and motives are wide of the mark. Cameron and Sarkozy proposed a UN no fly zone on 11 March which was approved a few days later when the US took out the Lybian air defence radars. NATO took full control a few days later. 19 nations were involved altogether.
It's remarkable to see Tiger Woods priced as long as 20/1 (with sportingbet, Betfair,etc) for next week's Open Championship. Long gone are the days when he would start every major priced up at no more than 4/1-5/1.
Reaching 40 years of age at the end of next year, he really has to start winning major championships again soon if he's to seriously mount a challenge to Jack Nicklaus' record tally - something which once looked like a formality.
Having tied for 6th place last year and tied for 3rd place the year before, he has to have something of a chance. Those of a nervous disposition might prefer backing him e.w. where those nice folk at Betfair Sportsbook (i.e. their fixed odds side) are offering 16/1 against him winning outright, but pay 1/4 these odds against him finishing in the first 8 places.
There wont be any planes capable of flight for it probably ever. The F-35 is incapable of flight due to its crappy engine but the UK is still forking a fortune for it.
The planes are testing and the programme will continue. As to whether it is the right plane for us and whether the carriers we are building are the right carriers for us - that's a different question. Labour procured both these programmes and made a mess of it. Not least building these carriers without catapults. All of which shows labour do not care tuppence about defence - something we must consider applies to the RN as well since they agreeed to it all.

EdinTokyo Most of the evidence points to Libyans being behind Lockerbie, Al-Magrahi was convicted for it, and even a Libyan commander said Gaddaffi ordered it. Anyway, it will probably never be proved for certain either way, so will leave it there

The Mandarin to Senna's Tony Stark.
A truly Tory achievement.
I'm backing an England victory at the moment.
Also, I haven't seen Iron Man 2. Or 3.

Iron Man 3 is the best comic book adaptation ever.
