Apparently Charlie Whiting almost red flagged the race cos of all the punctures. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in Germany next weekend.

Yeah Kimi and Alonso were lucky to escape without shrapnel in their heads and Vernes save at 190mph was impressive!

This whole artificial excitement thing with woeful tyres, DRS etc is turning F1 into a farce. There’s just so much reliance on Aero these days as well.

I’d much rather they went with the water down the track idea!

Actually nowadays it is just that I love my physical keyboard.

I was curious when i got my Nexus if it would convert me to android. It didn’t.

I was only telling TJ a while ago that my TR’s for my trip at Christmas were typed on the blackberry then emailed to the Nexus for posting on BW!

It was just too hard to write mammoth posts on the touch keyboard!

That’s fair enough although BB’s software would get on my nerves.

Did you try using keyboards like swiftkey? Eventually it’s prediction gets so good that I can type a message by pretty much just hitting spacebar over and over, very quick!

Having said that I’m not a big fan of typing on my tablet either. For long posts I still use my laptop or bluetooth keyboard with the tablet if its near by.

It’s a big reason I hate the way all the schools are heading rolling out iPads. They just aren’t a computer replacement, good for “consuming” data terrible at “producing” it.

I saw some BB10 stuff when the Z10 came out. I hadn’t heard good things regarding usability but to be fair I haven’t used it myself. Phone OS wise I think recent Android releases pretty much has it nailed but unfortunately I can’t think of any physical keyboard devices.

Ahh ok. I tried to talk him into doing some cultural stuff as well the other day but I suspect sampling the local drinks may be the extent of that this time!  tongue laugh

Pesky android making you double post tongue laugh

Haha yeah same thing crossed my mind when I double posted. I’m actually posting from my laptop so we can blame MS/Chrome/The knob using the keyboard.

Haha he promised me on the 2nd trip back he would….
