Me too, was moaning there wasnt anything to watch as well.

As for the beard thing, well, its just something that folks do from time to time, realising what a c**k they looked only years later, like when pwig grow his 1st moustache.

I think he grew it for the piece as his nose and the beard and the camel made him into a stereotypical Arabian type person.

I have a great picture of Mrs Mallory kipping on the back seat of a hire car, with John Des looking at his watch and tutting

It is terrible, but he's a great racing driver so I will forgive him a lot of things.

Cant wait to watch him in action this Sunday

He is a great driver, which means he just about breaks even. The smallest slip in his driving abilities will put him firmly back into the card carrying wnaker category...

Don't worry. It was a pisspoor programme. The only thing I remember from it that if I get stupidly rich, stupidly practical and stupidly stupid then I should consider buying a revised Merc A class.

JP did a tedious and sycophantic piece about the A1 series. I can't even remember what Tiff did except do the voiceover for the competition.

Oh, wait! It's coming back to me. It was a pisspoor view of his jaunt at the launch of that computer game (whatever it's called).

Stupid beard Jason - lose it. OK, go for the shaggy "I'm pretending to be under 30" haircut if you like, but the beard makes you look like a bit of a pillock.

Also, since when do you need to wear a jacket in Dubai? esp a heavy leather jacket? Maybe that's the "I'm from Albania" impression?

I thought the A1 article was OK, Jason didn't seem to trash the car too hard, but that was probably orders. The Merc article was a bit OTT, but they were trying to prove Mercedes have got quality and interior ambience sorted now. Looks that way. I don't see how an A class compares with a BMW 1 series. One is a posh compact family wagon and one is a fashion item bought by people who used to drive TTs, then MINIs. Can't see many 1 Series being used to cart 3 kids and their gear about.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel']

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.
