[Paul.S]

Bah, all this talk of healthy sports....

Chuck me round in a car with a wild BHP/Weight Ratio

[howie_lfc]

Used to watch F1 avidly but for me it has lost it's specticle....Piquet..Prost...Senna...Mansell...Ros berg...Lauda...Golden days, now just a fately flawed sport I am afraid

[Paul.S]

Yeah, F1 sucks nowadays.

If you want to watch a "Glory Days" video theres one on youtube.com
Do a search for "Perished F1 Heros"
not a vid for the queasy though!

Poker! can't really beat it (unless it's a bad bead ) when you're sitting outdoors and drinking some ale!

[LFCman]

Aye, love good old Texas Hold'em. Forgot about that as I wouldn't really call it a sport despite its competitive competitions.

It has a funny way of raising one's pulse? Just won a no cost-evening earlier playing 5 card stud. Drank like a pig and still have more money than I had before the games

It's brilliant isn't it. Good having a poker night at home with all the lads and then taking all their money.

[Finnish_Red]

Yep, unfortuntely they seem to take my money more often then I take theirs have to find some mental strength and get some sleep, 7:30am here and still going strong

[LFCman]

[Finnish_Red]

Paul just watched that my God that is sick in the extreme....

[Paul.S]

Not for the light hearted is it?

Especially the Helmuth and Tom Pryce ones, Helmuth was instantly decapitated when his car went under the Armco, and Tom Pryce was smashed in the face with the extinguisher the marshall was holding (the guy who's torn apart) the video isn't really clear, but both the marshall and driver were instantly killed.
However, out of all of them, the one that gets me is Roland Ratzenberger, when the car slides out into view and comes to a stop, you can just tell that he's just died

Overshadowed by Ayton's death wasn't it...I did feel for his family at the time what with the global mourning for Senna which went on the day after their loved one had died so tragically

[Paul.S]

Yeah, Ayrton was so shook by his death, that on the morning of the main race Ayrton signed up to be the head of a new body to look into the safety of F1, then got killed on that very day.

2 Deaths in Indianapolis '94

I watch Rugby Union - support Ireland, not fond of test cricket although this 20 20 looks good.

I love watching baseball and intend going to the states to watch a game. Don't really follow any particular team though.
